A Memorial That Changed A Life

A memorial can be heavy, but it can also become a doorway and that’s what happened for us. I’m Regina Swarn, and I’m sharing how my sister’s memorial turned into a moment of real spiritual power, with Elder Leonard Davis, Sister Donna Davis, Sister Delores Davis, and Pastor Tammie Watson bringing prayer and a Word that landed right where it needed to. I’m still in awe of how clearly God moved, not just for the people gathered around me, but for the ones quietly listening in the background.

Pastor Tammie’s message about “Turn, Turn, Turn” cuts through the surface level stuff. You can look right, sound right, even act right, but God wants a true turn of the heart. That message reached my personal chef while she was in the kitchen preparing my meal, and she came out in tears and got saved. It’s the kind of Christian testimony that reminds you faith is not theory, it’s a decision, and sometimes it happens in the most ordinary place at the most unexpected time.

We also talk honestly about what it’s like to build a podcast and a brand when people try to close doors on you. I share why my radio path didn’t work out, how God used that, and the surprising encouragement I got from a billionaire listener who told me not to change a thing because consistency made me findable. From careful contract decisions to staying independent, I connect it back to obedience, blessing, and the wisdom of moving slow even when something looks “good” on the outside.

Hey there, I'm Regina Soring. Welcome back to a hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus, for everything that you're doing. This memorial I want to tell you all. God has come in and just totally taken over. You know, the other week Elder Davis and his team was here and they they did a prayer service, prayer meeting, and the people who were with me just was so thankful and they were praising the word in the background because I always have people with me. I'm not ever here just by myself. And so I had some people here and they were praising the word in the background with uh Elder Davis and his sister and his wife, and they felt the power of the Holy Ghost. When Pastor Tammy was here and speaking, I have a chef because I have to have a person that cook for me personally because the way I eat.

Memorial Reflection And Guest Gratitude

SPEAKER_00 2:19

I hate to say this, I'm vegan, so I don't eat in restaurants and things like that. So I have I hired a person, a person that cook actually cooked my food. When Pastor Tammy was doing her um podcasts, she was crying, crying, crying. She told me afterwards, she said that word touched me. And she had been telling me she wants to be saved. And she told me God came into her life that day. Pastor Tammy was talking about Turn, Turn, Turn. Such a powerful, powerful podcast. I mean, it's out over the radios right now and it's playing everywhere. If you haven't heard that yet, I encourage you to go and listen. She was preaching about turning. You can dress apart, you can look depart, you can even act apart. But God wants you to turn to him. Please go listen to that. Go listen to it. My personal chef was saved on that day that she brought forth that word. She was saved. And when Elder Davis and his his team brought forth that prayer meeting, the people here, like I say, I'm never alone. People here was just astonished. They was looking like, oh my god, who is that? You don't get that kind of word everywhere from everywhere. Hallelujah. I thank the Lord for those two speakers, blessing the people around me, blessing all the people that work for me and around me. And then when Pastor Tammy spoke, my personal chef was saved. She wants to tell her testimony. She said, I want to tell my testimony, and I'm gonna let her tell her testimony because the Lord saved her. She said, when Pastor Tammy was talking about turn, turn, turn, she said she knew that she

“Turn” Message And A Chef Saved

had to turn and make a change in her life. I didn't say anything to her. She hurt Pastor Tammy. You know, you can live the life and you can do all these things, but sometimes God be dealing with people like Elder Davis was talking, always talking about people running from the Lord. Sometimes people are running from God, and when they hear the right word, God just convicted them and they're saved. And I thank the Lord for my two guests. I thank the Lord for Elder Leonard Davis, his wife, Sister Donna Davis, his sister, Sister Dolores Davis, and I thank God for Pastor Tammy Watson. Bringing forth that powerful word on behalf of my sister's memorial. Lord, I know now that you led me to the people that you chose. You chose those two speakers to speak. You did it, Lord. It was nobody but you. Beautifully. Wonderful. And I thank the Lord for it. I would give all the praise and glory to the Lord. Because it is He who made this happen. It was the Lord that spoke through my guest speakers. The Lord spoke through Elder Leonard Davis. The Lord spoke through his wife and his sister. The Lord spoke through Pastor Tammy Watson. That was the Lord speaking through them and bringing forth such a powerful word. And for my chef, who was here preparing my dinner, to come out of the kitchen and to stand there with tears in her eyes. She got saved. She got saved. So I thank the Lord. I thank the Lord for this memorial. I'm always thanking people. I can't help it. It's just in me to thank you. Oh god, I thank you so much, first and foremost. The head of my life. The Lord who has blessed my entire life. He's blessed my brand, my organization. Yeah, people fight against me. They come against me in every possible way. Come against my podcast. But the Lord has continued to bless me and open doors that people closed against me a few years ago. Doors that was just closed up because people were jealous. You know, I was doing my radio show and that didn't work out. God didn't want that radio show to work. You know why? Because when you're butting heads with people, it's not gonna work. You gotta be in agreement with the person. If you're going to work with that person, you gotta be in agreement with that person, you gotta have a relationship, a very close one. I'm not talking about physical. I mean, but you gotta be friends, you gotta be like it's your brother or is your sister a close bond when you're working with people

Pushback, Closed Doors, And Podcast Growth

and the radio didn't work out, the Lord didn't let it work out. We did one anniversary, didn't cut the lights off because God didn't want that to work, God could see what's happening right now. My podcast is relatively new. I mean, it's not really new because they started it in 2020, shortly before my sister passed away. But the Lord has blessed it and elevated it so high. People, billionaires, contact me and say to me, I heard this, or or they're here a different podcast, and you're telling me that I enjoyed that. The lady on there talking about the animals, you know, one of the billionaires that I speak with often, he said, Don't change a thing, you know. Because I was thinking of changing the beginning where I said, if you like to support this podcast, feel free. And a friend of mine, I think he didn't mean any harm. He was just saying, Maybe you should change that right there. People don't know where they can contact you. And the billionaire told me, Don't change a thing. This is what the billionaire said. The billionaire said, I wouldn't change a thing. He said, Because if we when we heard you said, if you'd like to support this podcast, feel free. He said, No doubt, had you had all that information in there, we wouldn't have looked for you. He said, but we looked and found where we can support you. Your email, you give us all the time your email, and that's the way they contacted me through my email. He said, I don't care what people say, they come along and tell you to change this, change that. He said, I wouldn't change a thing. This is what a billionaire told me, guys. Think what you want to, feel how you want to. God is with me. God is with me, He's everywhere I go. That's why I love that song.

SPEAKER_01 11:49

God is with me. God is with me. Wherever I go, wherever I go.

SPEAKER_00 12:14

I truly love that song, God is with me. It's a beautiful song. Every time I hear it, it brings a big smile to my face. You know, because I know God is with me. He has really truly blessed everything I signed my hands to do. I'm very careful about signing contracts. I've always been careful about that. Even when my sister was alive, we wasn't so quick to sign a contract, a music contract. Never. Mother AB Jackson Prophet's Mother AB Jackson, our pastor, taught us. Don't be so quick. Yeah, it looked good from the outside. It looks beautiful, but don't be so quick to sign, sign, sign, put your name on the dotted line. You know, I see a lot of people out now and and they're searching for fame. And I want to tell them so bad, be careful. Just be careful, be careful for nothing. It doesn't cost you anything to be careful. And in this business, in this industry, I've been in it for years, and the Lord has taught me so much, and I know a lot because I've been in it, but I've never had to sign my name away or sign my businesses away.

Contract Wisdom And Staying Independent

SPEAKER_00 13:39

Never. God has blessed me independently. He's blessed me, elevated me up independently. And I thank the Lord for that. I think of Deuteronomy the 28th chapter, one of my absolute favorite chapters. The Lord will bless you, He will bless you, but you got to be obedient. Obedient is better than sacrifice. And I'm gonna tell you for many, many years, I was like, God, what about me? Are you gonna bless me? Time is running out. I mean, I talked to God like that. I don't know about you, but I talked to the Lord like that, and just as I was talking to the Lord about different things and him blessing me and coming in my life doing things, he did it. I guess he said I was just waiting on you, Regina. Hallelujah! Oh my god, I feel so good in my soul. If you were a part of my memorial for my sister in any way, if I don't know you, I thank you still. For the audience out there who shower my views, my my reels, my posters, my pictures, everything. You you show me so much love. Oh my god. I thank you all so much. Boy, what a memorial, huh? Blessing souls around me, and then my personal chef got saved. I can't ask for more than that. I cannot ask for more than that. Except to continue to lift up the Lord, continue to praise the Lord for all of his goodness. So thank you all again. I'm saying thank you again, there I go.
