Beneath the Flowers Podcast

I cannot figure out how to get the video to be in landscape orientation while recording from my phone— my apologies for it being sideways. 😩 I had so much fun chatting with you all and answering the questions shared in the chat. I only shared a few of my notes in the video but below I’ve listed more about what I learned about leadership from Moses: * The camp you were adopted into, doesn’t have t...

I recorded this video on this day last year. It just barely scratches the surface of a very complex scheme of the enemy. Holy Spirit always meets me on long car rides with a word to share with the people. Totally forgot about this one. Until now. Though it feels like light years ago, I really feel like it might bless someone today. I believe it will set someone free. Share with a friend. Beneath t...

*Disclaimer* I am not a bible teacher or pastor, I did not go to seminary or bible college. I’m just a grace gifted woman redeemed from the law being used by God to spread the good news :) Core message of this live: remember the promise, silence the law God is sovereign and cannot lie. Jesus was in the wilderness with the Israelites too. His promise to Abram, 430 years before the law was given to...

God, I don’t know what to say.. I’ve been having conversations with friends about the current state of the world and what it means for our future generations. In having those conversations, I’ve experienced grief, sadness, anger, hope. I know it won’t always be this way. I want to do something. I don’t want to be a sitting duck. So, I write. I read. I create by Your grace. I try my best to remind...

Fully saved… but are we fully covered? (No, not by grandmama’s prayers…) Lately, I’ve been thinking about a lot of things. Thought 1: salvation, a free gift. Nothing we have to work for—only a heart surrendered. And yet…what does it meanif there are gaps in the rest of our armor? In Ephesians 6, we’re told to put on the full armor of God: The helmet of salvation. The breastplate of righteousness....

In dating culture, we know what breadcrumbing means. It’s the slow drip of attention without intention. Just enough to keep you hoping. Not enough to move forward. A text that says “thinking of you” but never makes a plan to see you. Warmth without clarity. Presence without commitment. Breadcrumbing, in relationships, is confusing because it keeps you emotionally invested while withholding directi...

If God is love, then our fear of it tells a story worth listening to. Untangling of love languages and survival love @heywildflwr on IG beneaththeflowers.substack.com This is a public episode.

Thank you for listening! This poem is inspired by the prompt: “let me tell you what it’s not…” I thought about what being perceived feels like, and maybe what it would feel like when someone actually SEES me—beyond my beauty. If you’d like to support my writing or send over a quick thank you, here’s the link to buy me a coffee I’ll write to you again soon. ~ Chérie IG @heywildflwr This is a public...

A reflective meditation on anxious and avoidant attachment, secure love, and the slow healing God offers. An exploration of what it means to love without urgency, without lack, and with trust—learning a love that can breathe. @heywildflwr on instagram This is a public episode.

It’s the start of a new calendar year, and I’m resisting the urge to rush. Instead of asking What’s next? I’m asking a quieter, truer question—one rooted in faith and discernment: What is mine to tend to for the long haul? It might sound like an oxymoron, but I’m learning this is true: the slower I go, the faster I arrive. Presence. This isn’t a rejection of goals or six-month plans. It’s simply a...

Please excuse the audio and stuffiness. :) I’ve had my fair share of friendship breakups and heart pains. I’ve been the bad friend, the entitled friend, the absent friend, the rude friend, the fun friend, the hiking friend, the Jamaican friend, the list goes on. But in this season, I want to be more intentional with the people God blesses me with. So I’m following His example. Friendships take tim...

follow @heywildflwr on instagram for more ~ Lately I’ve been thinking about what it really means to be made whole . Not just “okay,” not just functioning, not just smiling for the group chat—but made whole in the way God intended. After the deconstruction. After the ground shakes beneath us. After everything that isn’t in God’s will for us falls to the floor like broken dry wall. And honestly? The...

There’s a kind of faith we inherit—and then there’s the faith that grows in the soil of our actual lives. In the storms, in the waiting rooms, in the still moments when God becomes more than an idea. One is acquired .One is experienced .Both have purpose. Both shape us through sanctification. But to grow, we have to recognize the difference. How We Learn There’s a season for taking in truth. Where...

Matthew 25: 35-40 Luke 6: 27-31 It should go without saying — we should care for ourselves first to ensure that we have enough to give. My prayer is that we function, as members of society, more like conduits and less like reservoirs. Receiving and giving. Caring and being cared for. Loving and being loved. Reciprocity. Compassion. Trust. Jesus taught that the greatest commandments are to love God...

In 2021, I got a tattoo on my wrist that reads “ I surrender. ” Every time I pray, I look at it and remember a season where surrender felt less like peace and more like death. Not a graceful release, but a tearing away of control I thought I needed to survive. It’s painful when you’re taught: * Be in control * Depend on no one but yourself * Your life is in your hands, and one wrong move could rui...

When God speaks — I listen. That quiet whisper, just loud enough for me to hear. For me, it’s not always full sentences — and it often doesn’t make sense in the moment. Around the time of this video, I was deep in prayer and reflection with God about finances, money, and overall wealth — both tangible and intangible. It had been a couple of weeks since setting my intentions on understanding how Go...

The Lord placed this topic on my heart to write on May 6th and naturally I said, “Okay God, what do you want me to say?” I’m just going to leave this here. Oftentimes, we rest on what Paul defines as love in 1 Corinthians 13: 4 through 7 filling our bathroom mirrors with sticky notes, writing it in our journals, plastering it to the walls of our home, injecting into our personal situations without...

This video was originally recorded December 2024, I sat on it and didn’t know when I was going to post it. This morning I woke up and I couldn’t get it out of my mind, so here we are… Jesus Christ is more than just a man, he’s more than just a prophet. He is GOD in the flesh. He came to atone for our sins and teaches us how to be human. He is the Messiah. ♡ As always, a few videos that might also...

Our Spirit - is eternal, it is not bound by time or any construct humans have created, it never sleeps, it fights daily to connect with God the creator and giver of the breath of life; the part of our being actually having the human experience. Our Soul - our mind, our will, and our emotions; the part of our being most susceptible to attack, hijacking, and control; the squishy bits; it’s what has...

I’ve never shared my faith journey … in full… with the world. It’s been a private journey since I was a child and, even more so, for the past 10 years since August 2014, but the Holy Spirit has led me to share it in this moment. So, i’m being obedient. I hope in reading and watching this you can maybe see yourself in parts of my story. Part 1, 2, and 3 are in writing on Substack ~ beneaththeflower...

audio recording of this article available, click the play button above! It’s true, making friends in 2024 as an adult and making friends in 2005 as a child are different. There’s so much more density to navigate as we age, so much so, we become jaded. Misconstruing a friendly gesture for romantic desire, lines blurred between likes and actual attraction, genuine support and fandom… what is it… ill...
