Summary

On the longest recorded episode of Heaven & Healing Podcast to date, I bring on my very best friend Alyssa Linker. Alyssa has been praying for my salvation for two+ decades and we have walked through every season of life together since we were 3. She is a born and raised Christian of a nuclear family unit, whereas I am just now coming to Christ as I approach my thirties and was raised by a single mother. In this episode, we talk about the stark contrast of our upbringings and highlight the important advantage Alyssa had growing up in a nuclear, biblical family over me whose mom gave more love than I knew what to do with, but unfortunately did not know how crucial Christ was as the foundation of that love. Alyssa spent her twenties walking within the guidelines of Scripture and because of her choice to maintain the obedience to the Lord she was taught in adolescence, she is now a happily, newly married homemaker with a God-fearing husband who provides for their household. She is flourishing as a woman as she prepares to expand their family. I, on the other hand, spent most of my twenties “following my truth,” living as a feminist, and going down one occultist hole after the other — and am still underway a heavy sanctification process as the Lord cleans house. The difference lies in what she had over what I didn’t: a mom AND dad — two Christian parents who live as God calls us to, and as a result, raised extremely capable, functional, poised, virtuous children that are servants of Christ. With this conversation, Alyssa and I get into how NECESSARY it is in this world to build a nuclear family on biblical principles to eradicate the sicknesses of fatherlessness, divorce, violence, sexual promiscuity and abortion that feminism has infected society with. Feminism ultimately seeks to dismantle traditional family paradigms as they are deemed “patriarchal” and “oppressive” in modern culture. Alyssa and I debunk those myths with data, facts, history, and Scripture. We encourage women to submit to Christ and thus embrace the true integrity of womanhood rather than cheap thrills of feminism. REAL empowerment lives in the truth God’s Word provides. +Subscribe to the podcast if you haven’t already and please give a 5-star rating and written review, as it is extremely helpful to spread the Good News and get this podcast into more people’s ears! +DONATE HERE TO HEAVEN & HEALING PODCAST MINISTRY: https://donorbox.org/heaven-healing-podcast-ministry 100% proceeds go directly to the support and maintenance of this podcast If you can’t donate, a simple prayer goes a long way! +instagram: @angelamarieucci +Alyssa’s instagram @birbshot Relevant/referenced Scripture in this episode: Genesis 1:27Genesis 2:20-24 Genesis 5:1-2Proverbs 19:14 Ecclesiastes 9:9 Ephesians 5:23 1 Peter 3:7 1 Timothy 2:11-15 Ephesians 5:25-31Galatians 3:28 Proverbs 12:14 Proverbs 31:10 1 Corinthians 11:7 Matthew 9:20-22 Luke 7:37-50 Luke 18:15-16 John 8:4-11

0:00.0	Welcome back to another episode of Heaven and Healing podcast. I'm Angela. Today's episode is really special to me because it takes place with my very best friend, Alyssa Linker. So Alyssa and I grew up together. We met when we were three years old and she has spent the past two decades praying for my salvation. And so in this episode, we talk about that stark contrast in our upbringing, her Christian
0:23.0	background versus my secular background, and how that nuclear family unit with the biblical
0:29.0	foundation truly is a necessity in this dysfunctional world when it comes to being in a marriage
0:35.3	and raising a family. We talk about the toxicity of feminism and why we
0:40.2	should focus on femininity over the feminism culture. With that leads into a topic about abortion and all
0:48.3	about marriage. So this episode is my longest yet. It's packed with a lot of stuff. We go all over the
0:53.7	place. So definitely
0:54.8	give this another listen. And we really hope that you enjoy the episode and that you aren't
0:59.0	afraid to speak the truth, even if that means offending somebody. We all have to stand firm on the
1:05.8	gospel, on the word of the Lord before we get worried about hurting people's feelings, okay?
1:11.5	Because true love tells the truth and the most loving thing that you can do for somebody
1:17.3	is to spread the good news of heaven and healing podcast. I'm here today with my best friend in the world, Alyssa.
1:46.7	So Alyssa and I actually have known each other since we were about two or three years old. We've known each other so long that I
1:51.7	don't even remember meeting her. So this is a really special episode for me personally because
1:58.0	a lot of you have heard me talk about her before. She's the one that's
2:02.5	been praying for me for two decades now, basically our entire lives, because we're now
2:09.6	both 28th. And yeah, we have a lot of history. And we both grew up very different, although we grew up
2:17.1	together because she grew up in a
2:19.1	traditional Christian household where I grew up with a lot of love, but no Christianity. And so in
2:26.6	hindsight, and we'll talk a little bit about this in the episode to kind of see how both of our
2:30.5	lives played out and the differences within that just based on the foundation of
2:37.2	Christianity or lack thereof is really interesting. And it's really actually crucial to the
