How A Sister’s Faith And Your Support Saved This Podcast

A quiet moment can save a loud dream. We open up about the day this show almost ended and the single voice that refused to let it happen—a sister who named the worth we couldn’t see and told us to keep going. What followed wasn’t a grand strategy or a viral spike; it was the steady weight of community, one play and one share at a time, turning hesitation into momentum.

We talk candidly about creative doubt, the fear of not being “good enough,” and the invisible beauty we often miss in ourselves. The butterfly metaphor—being unable to see the colors on your own wings—becomes a touchstone for understanding how encouragement works. You’ll hear how personal belief intersects with public support, why small acts like a share or a monthly pledge matter more than metrics, and how gratitude can become a practice that sustains long-term creative work.

We also honor the collaborators who shaped this space. Special thanks to Chris Murphy Elliott for the soundtrack and a heartfelt tribute to the late Ricardo Chap, whose track Blue Spirit carries a memory that still moves. Revisiting an old recording turns into a reminder that art holds people even after they’re gone, and that every episode rests on the unseen scaffolding of friendships and faith.

If you’ve ever stood at the edge of quitting, this is your sign to stay. Press play for a thank-you letter to a global community, a love note to persistence, and a blessing for anyone who needs borrowed courage. If the show has encouraged you, share it with someone who needs a nudge, subscribe for new episodes, and leave a review to tell us who helped you keep going.

Hey there, our Regina Sword. Welcome back to another episode of Regina Sword Audio Series Presents. I would like to take a moment or two to recognize those who support this podcast. If you are a listener, if you share this podcast, if you support this podcast monthly, you are a supporter. And it means so much to me. I started this podcast back in 2020. My sister Laura, who's uh going on to be with the Lord now, expressed to me that I shouldn't give it up because I was going to not just stop it, not do it anymore. And she said, no, keep doing it. And as I look back now, I'm so glad that I listened to her. Because I was about to just pull the plug. Sometimes we think that we are not good enough, and I'm good at that. It's like a butterfly, we can't see those beautiful colors on us, but other people can see it. And my sister could see things in me that I could not see. She was able to say, Gina, you are a shiny diamond, and you don't even know it. And these are those were her words. So sometimes we can't see those colors of the butterfly on our back, where the butterfly, we can't see that, but other people can see that. So if you support this podcast in any way, any small way, I thank you. If you support it amongst your communities, or share it on your pages, or share it with your friends, I do appreciate you. And for those who are sharing it across the world, oh my god, across the world. Thank you so much. Means so much to me. Thank you. And I just want to make this podcast about that. Your support means a lot. I'm thankful to um Chris Murphy Elliott for the soundtrack to the podcast. In the background, you hear my great late friend Ricardo Chap break out music. The name of that is called Blue Spirit. I'm listening to a video that we did together, you know, years before he passed away, but um, I just want to thank all of you out there for your support. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Aren't Gina Sword. Thanks again. I thank God for you. That's all I want to say. Have a great day. And you take care of yourselves.
