The Burden of Belief

Religion EN ↓ 10 episodes

The Burden of Belief is a podcast for people of faith who have obeyed God in places where it costs everything. Hosted by Sheena Hoyer Ward, a justice advocate and prophetic voice to government systems, this podcast speaks to the weary, the waiting, and the bold — those carrying faith through persecution, policy battles, and spiritual warfare. Whether you’re a believer in transition or an intercessor standing in the gap for your community, state, nation, or the world, this is your reminder that God sees, speaks, and is still at work.

Ep. 10 The Good Gift 14.06.2026

We are living in a moment of unprecedented overload - war, economic fragility, political chaos, misinformation, environmental collapse, and more - all accessible from the phones in our pockets. Every crisis, every headline, every fear, all at once. And when it all becomes too much, we glitch. In this episode, I break down what it means to glitch spiritually and why it is happening to so many of us...

Ep. 9 Don't Hurt Yourself 24.04.2026

In this episode of The Burden of Belief we move from individual testimony into the deeper reality of what it means to be the Body of Christ. Building on the last episode's question, "Can I Get a Witness?", this episode confronts a hard truth: the enemy is not just fighting individuals - he's fighting unity! Through scripture, personal testimony and the real-world story of Kansas, we see a pattern...

Ep. 8 Can I Get A Witness? 16.03.2026

What does it mean to carry a testimony - not as a personal story, but as a public declaration? Episode 8 of The Burden of Belief, "Can I Get A Witness?", challenges believers to turn personal testimony into public action amid oppression and forgotten covenants. I explore the original meaning of the word "martyr" in the Book of Revelation and a cosmic courtroom where the truth of God is being testi...

Ep. 7 The Eternal Covenant 03.02.2026

In this episode of The Burden of Belief , I explore the name of God revealed in Exodus 3 - YHWH, "I AM" - and what it means for those living under the New Covenant today. Tracing God's self-revelation from Moses at the burning bush to Jesus' "I AM" statements in the Gospel of John, this episode reveals how God's eternal name is inseparable from His covenant character: a God who sees oppression, he...

Ep. 6 The Theology of Weakness 15.01.2026

What if weakness isn't a failure of faith - but the very place where God releases His power? In Episode 6 of The Burden of Belief , I explore the The Theology of Weakness - the biblical framework that reveals how God works not through dominance, certainty, or control, but through surrender, vulnerability, and dependence on Him. Drawing from the Garden of Gethsemane, the writings of the Apostle Pau...

Ep. 5 Between Two Verses 17.12.2025

What happens when obedience to God costs you everything—your career, your reputation, your sense of safety—and the outcome still isn’t clear?   In Episode 5 of  The Burden of Belief , I explore what it means to live  Between Two Verses —the space where God has spoken, but fulfillment hasn’t arrived. Drawing from scripture, public policy, and deeply personal testimony, this episode weaves together...

Ep. 4 Go Back the Way You Came 17.12.2025

Sometimes, God calls us to return - back to where we left Him, back to the purpose we left behind, back to His presence. In this episode of The Burden of Belief , I unpack what it means to face fears, confront foreseen suffering, and embrace the call God placed on your life - even when it feels costly or impossible. We dive into prophetic insight, biblical patterns of divine intervention, and the...

Ep. 3 - God's Plan 04.11.2025

What do you do when the assignment God gave you costs you everything? When obedience feels like exile, and your faith is the only thing keeping you upright? In this episode of The Burden of Belief , I am taking you deeper into the places where calling meets conflict - recounting the spiritual and political battles that shaped my journey through Kansas, faith, and the prophetic call on my life. Dra...

Ep. 2 - In the Beginning 01.11.2025

In this episode of The Burden of Belief , I'm taking you back to the moment my prophetic assignment began - a Word from God that would change everything. Set against the backdrop of my career in Kansas state government and the fallout of the 2012 Brownback Tax Experiment, I share how speaking out for justice became the catalyst for spiritual warfare, political retaliation, and divine encounter. Th...

Ep. 1 - It's Justice 20.10.2025

In this first episode, I share a glimpse into the story behind this podcast - the weight of carrying a prophetic call, the price I paid for obeying God, and why I'm still standing. The Burden of Belief wasn't an idea, it was a Word. It isn't something I created, it is something I carried. And in many ways it carried me. It became a burden that stretched my belief, broke me open and ultimately birt...
