    From Pain to Power: How Mrs. Illinois 2025 Is Turning Trauma Into Global Transformation
    2025/05/16
    In this powerful episode of the Daughters of Zion podcast, Amanda Toro sits down with Mrs. Illinois International 2025, Jennifer Jordan Cruz, a survivor, pastor, author, and global advocate for healing. Jennifer opens up about her personal journey from enduring gender-based violence to launching Warriors Academy, a nonprofit mentoring women and girls in Chicago, South Africa, and beyond.

    Together, we explore:

    • Her raw testimony of healing after trauma • How Warriors Academy is changing lives through soul therapy, vision boards, and life skills

    • What it truly means to wear a crown with purpose

    • The role of the church in healing and advocacy

    • Encouragement for every woman still stuck in her broken place

    Jennifer reminds us that God doesn’t waste pain, He uses it to build warriors.

    Listen, share, and let healing begin.

  • PRUNED FOR PURPOSE: Trusting God’s Refining Process

    PRUNED FOR PURPOSE: Trusting God’s Refining Process
    2025/03/21
    Have you ever felt like God was holding you back? Like no matter how much you pray, doors are closing, relationships are shifting, and opportunities seem delayed? What if God isn’t punishing you? What if He’s PRUNING you for something GREATER?

    🔥 In this episode, we’re uncovering:

    ✅ What it means to be pruned by God (John 15:1-2).
    ✅ Why even the fruitful areas of your life need pruning.
    ✅ The danger of stepping into ministry before you’re fully refined.
    ✅ Why spiritual covering and submission to leadership matter.
    ✅ How to embrace the process and trust God’s timing—IT’S WORTH IT!

    🚨 Don’t let anyone push you ahead of God’s process! The enemy wants you to move prematurely, but God is shaping your character for sustainable growth, not temporary success.

  • Refined In The Waiting: How God Strengthen My Ministry In A Year Off

    Refined In The Waiting: How God Strengthen My Ministry In A Year Off
    2025/03/14
    After a year of stepping back, refining, and rebuilding, Daughters of Zion is back! In this season premiere, I’m sharing what God taught me in the waiting—how He called me to pause, rebuild my foundation, and prepare for something greater.

    In this episode, we’ll talk about:
    🔥 Why I took a year off from the podcast
    🔥 The challenges and growth that came with stepping back
    🔥 What the book of Haggai teaches us about rebuilding in obedience
    🔥 Encouragement for anyone in a waiting season

    Maybe you’re in a season where God is telling you to wait, step back, or prepare for something greater. Be encouraged—your waiting is not wasted!
