She's Marked

Many of you grew up hearing people around you pleading the blood of Jesus.  Maybe this happened during a prayer for protection or even physical healing.  As a lover of old hymns, when I think about the blood of Jesus, I instantly start hearing this sweet song: What can wash away my sins?  Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Beloved Sister,...

With summer in full-swing, we are going down memory lane on the show! During the months of July and August, we will be highlighting the most popular episodes before the kickoff to season 4 in September!

Today's episode is a lifeline to a special audience: Fatherless Daughters. As many celebrate the men who have played a phenomenal role in their existence and who they've come to be, we hold space for those women who may not share such sentiments and experiences. In a rare occurrence, Hannah pulls back the curtain and shares with listeners her journey as a fatherless daughter. As she tells...

At the heart of today's episode is motherhood simplified. It's that simple.  I am thrilled to, for the first time in "She's Marked Podcast" history, host guest interviews. You're in for a wellspring of wisdom as 3 of our featured " ⁠For the Moms⁠ " women are joining me here on the podcast. These talks aren't simply limited to motherhood. We touch on marriage...

The old African proverb may have been directed at children, but the tragic absence of a village is fraying Moms.   It takes a village to raise a child, but all too often, many mothers and fathers are swirling to take on multiple roles in their children's lives, with little support. This is leaving Mothers - who are often the main caretakers - burnt out and stretched thin.  Hannah shares an ins...

When was the last time you counted your trials as joy? A life with Christ doesn't mean a life void of troubles. We have to keep our aim in view, holding fast to what we have; our confession of faith, our righteousness, and being steadfast. The issues we encounter- though intense - are temporary. Hold on and don't lose your inheritance and who you were called to be! It is so easy in a moment to fee...

Not too many people would list "brokenness" and "neediness" as attributes that attract or draw them to people. However, we see in the Word, that Christ Himself said He came for these people. Those who were sick, broken, and oppressed. Maybe God has healed you from brokenness, but you’ve found yourself on a downward slope, unsure of what is happening in this season or if you will ever come back. Ar...

We conclude the "5 in 5" week with Episode 25: In Christ Alone Our hope, our redemption, and our purpose is found in Christ alone. We surf through deep waters today with deep questions of our future , our mortality, and our salvation . Life is certainly a vapor, and we are all on borrowed time. So, what are you doing that will last? What are we doing? What are we building? What are we aiming for?...

I unexpectedly learned a lesson from nature about maturity. It began when I researched trees and learned that there are two types of trees; evergreens and deciduous trees. "D-what"? I then learned what this interesting word means, and the definition was even more capturing than the word itself. Are you ready? Deciduous literally means "falling off at maturity". So, you're telling me that in t...

What comes to your mind when you hear the word "anchor"? I usually think of water, boats, and ships. Secondly, I think of grounding, security, and weight. I think of attachment and protection and safety. I think of immovability. I also think of storms and severe weather. Anchors essentially keep vessels from going adrift. How the anchor is crafted and where it's planted play significant roles in t...

What about your friends? You are the company you keep, and what better way to navigate than with solid friends to walk alongside you, cover you, and counsel you? Having solid friends to walk through life with is necessary for growth and support – and today we tackle my recommendation of 7 types of Godly friends every Christian Woman needs for her journey. In those moments when life is tough, these...

Happy New Year my dear Listeners! We are firing off the new year with a "5 in 5". That's right, a WEEK FULL of episodes that will benefit you in gaining momentum and perspective.  This is a first for me! Tune in for a brand-new episode Monday-Friday for fresh wisdom.  Today’s episode serves one purpose and one purpose only: stirring the pot. We’re veering away from our routine format as...

2022 is a wrap! Has this year simply pummeled you with grief? Disappointment? Loneliness and Isolation? Have you frantically been searching for deep peace through external factors like finances, therapy, health and fitness, or relationships? Do you feel unseen or maybe even misunderstood or heard as a result of your past and all that you’ve been through? Do you desperately long for acceptance and...

At first it felt like the right thing to do, but as challenges start popping up left and right, you no longer feel so sure. Maybe you thought you could “handle it”, but lately you’re feeling so defeated. You’ve been disciplining yourself to give it to God and trust Him, but when you’re feeling discouraged, some days you find yourself still picking it up and doing things your way – only to realize...

Let’s celebrate the start of season 3! The biggest question to ponder in episode 018 is, “Whose voice are you listening to?” Avenues for advice and direction are within reach for most of us in 2022; social media, self-help books; master classes; therapy; friends and family. The list is endless. But whose voice are you listening to? Sister, it’s time to step into the Lord’s classroom and be taught...

Is your faith based on what you can see? Would you still have faith if God never answered your prayers? How many times have you been in a situation that flooded your emotional and mental bank with all the feels? In an instant (or a slow fill) you were overcome and maybe you took the wheel of your life and made some decisions as a result of those feels. Feelings, while they may be real, are not to...

(Note: this is episode 016, not 015 which was incorrectly stated in the recording) What does it mean to be saved and how do you "do it"? Here's a hint, it doesn't involve simply reciting a "Sinner's prayer". Today, we take a look at the one thing that Jesus told everyone whom he called - follow me. In this chock-full episode, you'll need to grab a pen as Hannah outlines the erected challenges in f...

In speaking with countless new Moms over the years, it became quite obvious that absolutely nothing can prepare you for Motherhood except Motherhood itself! There are so many thoughts and feelings that come along on this ride and oftentimes women feel so ashamed to say, “I need help, I don’t know what I am doing!”. For the Moms is an annual written blog series which aims to ignite and connect Godl...

Contrary to common belief, time doesn’t necessarily heal all wounds. Some healing will require a decision to be made. Some healing requires intentional ongoing maintenance, one step at a time. In the conclusion of this 2-part series, Hannah discusses making the critical decision to heal. We can’t control whether we experience trauma, but we can make a decision to heal following that trauma. We gaz...

Episode 013 is all about the other dark side of trauma. What happens when trauma becomes our trip up? Hannah talks about the responsibility we hold in our healing journey after we have faced trauma. Negating this responsibility puts us at risk of idolizing our trauma and perpetually dwelling in it and tripping over it. Just one touch from Jesus healed the woman with the issue of blood. It was her...

Hey Hey Listeners! We kick off the new year with a relaxed episode 012. Nothing structured or specific, just Hannah sharing her current happenings and what she’s got in the queue including the launch of The MRKD Store and becoming a certified Biblical Counselor. Hannah also talks about her process for getting clear about her path and how God’s “Yes” isn’t the same as God’s “Go”. This is an importa...

We cap off with the final podcast recording of 2021. Today in episode 011 - The Knocking at the Door - Hannah takes listeners on a deep look within as we check our mindsets and heart-sets in preparation for 2022. We reflect on many Believers' struggle with the issue of compromise; a struggle that can rob us of holiness and can lead us to continuous people-pleasing and fear of man. Hannah shares of...

Be prepared to get a little uncomfortable. There is a time for everything. Today, gentle reminders and encouragement give way to an introspective and sharp message that stirs both Hannah and her listeners to reflect on the genuine posture of their hearts toward the things of God. This strong word and reflection touches on truly caring about the kingdom, the dangers of manufactured purpose, repenta...
