The Influential Woman | Discover Your Identity in Christ, Live on Purpose, Unlock Your Potential

The Influential Woman Podcast is for Christian women who lead, influence, and carry a sense of calling - yet often feel unseen, uncertain, or not enough.

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to perform, the weight of responsibility, or the quiet frustration that your confidence hasn’t caught up with your calling, this podcast will help you discover who you are so you unlock your potential.

Hey, my name is Trish Jones, a mentor to mission-minded women and founder of the 'IW Unleashed' community membership.

Each episode of this podcast aims to help you step out of striving and into the identity, confidence, and clarity that already belongs to you in Christ.

We'll explore how you can discover freedom in Christ to:

Live from identity, not insecurity
Lead with confidence rooted in Christ, not performance
Discern your calling and walk it out boldly
Renew your mind and silence the lies that keep you small
Strengthen your faith, authority, and spiritual resilience
Unlock your full potential

This isn’t just spiritual encouragement, it’s practical, biblical empowerment you can use in your daily life to fulfill your calling and make an impact.

If you're ready to think from a Kingdom perspective, live fearless and influence from a place of wholeness, wisdom, and unwavering freedom in Christ…

...you're in the right place.

Welcome to The Influential Woman Podcast - where your faith, confidence, and life itself flows from your identity in Christ.

God's Restoration of Our Identity - Reviewing Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers

November 09, 2022 • Trish Jones / Francesca McDowall • Episode 29

Despite the criticism - mainly by those who never read the book but have jumped on the negative bandwagon - Redeeming Love is story of how God restores us, little by little. We all want overnight transformation but as I heard someone say one day, a lot of what we call deliverance is people needing knowledge - knowledge of WHO God is.

What Fran and I discuss about identity restoration from the perspective of the book is:

How our identity is tainted - often from an early age - by circumstances, what we've believed about what people say about us and how the enemy confirms what we believe by what we later experience
What rejection does to wound our souls
Why God uses people in our identity restoration process but keeps ultimate ownership - pg 349 "Let her go beloved... would you let her hang on her own cross forever?"
Why we should never underestimate the power of sowing seeds
When love gets tainted and how God uses real love, His love, to restore our identity

I absolutely loved recording these episodes with Fran and honestly, if you've not yet read the book, you can grab your copy from Amazon.

By the way, I am not a novels person. My daughter had to beg me so many times before I relented. For her as a young person, she was grateful to learn before marriage the importance of intimacy and not just sex.
