Scripture Reading | Psalm 1 | Where You Are Rooted Matters

In this Scripture Reading, we quietly sit with Psalm 1 — a passage that invites reflection before direction.
Psalm 1 does not rush us into action or outcomes. Instead, it gently asks us to notice where we are rooted, what we delight in, and what has been shaping our lives over time.
This episode is not a teaching or a devotional. It’s a sacred pause — space to listen, breathe, and allow God’s Word to orient the heart as one season closes and another begins.

If you’re ready to stop carrying what was never meant to guard you, this episode offers clarity, rest, and freedom.

MalocchiO-NO | When Tradition Opens the Door to Spiritual Warfare | Counterfeit vs. Christ

What if something passed down as culture is quietly pulling us away from Christ?
In this episode, Erica gently but boldly explores the Italian tradition of the malocchio (evil eye)  including evil eye jewelry, cornicelli, secret rituals, and the Christmas Eve “prayer” passed down through generations.
Sharing from personal experience and Scripture, this conversation is not about shaming families or culture, but about truth, freedom, and spiritual alignment. Drawing from both the Old and New Testament, Erica explains why practices rooted in superstition and ritual, even with good intentions, can subtly pull our trust away from God.
If you’ve ever worn an evil eye bracelet or believed these traditions were harmless, this episode offers clarity, grace, and a path forward in Christ.
This is not condemnation.This is education.This is an invitation to freedom.
