This episode may be the conversation you've been avoiding- but your healing has been waiting for.

Season Four begins with a truth many women have lived — but few have been given language for.

This episode is about the quiet cycles we stay in long after we’ve outgrown them…
The silence we call “peace”…
The needs we learn to swallow…
And the patterns that only change when we do.

Through honest reflection and lived wisdom, Shantel shares what three marriages taught her about:

• Why lust is not love
• Why loneliness can’t be healed by having someone in your bed
• Why children are not a reason to stay in unhappy marriages
• Why seasons end — and sometimes the book itself closes
• The difference between human mistakes and destructive patterns
• What it really means to love yourself, speak your needs, and set boundaries
• And how anchoring your life in God changes everything

This is an episode about reclaiming your voice, your worth, and your peace.

Because silence doesn’t keep relationships safe —
it keeps cycles alive.

And cycles only break when we finally choose truth.

🎧 Full episode begins here.

A Spirit & Soul Sunday episode about forged peace, living proof, and Papa meeting you in the stillness.

In this Spirit & Soul Sunday, Shantel shares what happens when God tests the very word you just released — and instead of fear rising up, peace sits down beside you.

From Psalm 119:165 to the meaning of “martys,” from a loan denial that touched the future of Royalicious to a miracle that fed families in the middle of the pause, this episode is not theory — it is evidence.

If you are walking through delay, disappointment, unanswered questions, or a season where nothing is moving, this is your invitation back into Presence. Because peace isn’t found when everything works out. Peace is found when Papa meets you in the pause.

Scriptures referenced: Isaiah 6:6–7, Acts 1:8, Psalm 119:165, Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6, John 14:27

In this Spirit & Soul Sunday teaching, Shantel breaks down what it really means to live “Jesus over everything” — not as a caption, but as a conviction.
If you’ve been running, panicking, carrying too much, or trying to control outcomes God never asked you to manage… this message will speak straight to your spirit.

We dig into:
• why we run when life gets uncomfortable
• how panic pulls us out of Presence
• what happens when we don’t ask Jesus first
• discernment vs. distraction
• the posture of kneeling
• suffering, refinement, and spiritual endurance
• how God uses fire to form witnesses, not victims

Shantel also shares a raw, real-time testimony about the mini cakes God used to test her obedience — a journey of flops, frustration, surrender, and breakthrough that mirrors the very message she teaches.

Made in the fire…
but tasting like softness.
Just like you.

If you’re in a refining season or learning how to trust God in the middle of the unknown, this episode will give you language, clarity, and peace for the path you’re on.

And if you want to try the luxury plant-based mini cakes mentioned in this episode — the ones born out of obedience and perseverance — you can pre-order them now on the Royalicious website.

Press play, breathe deep, and let this word realign your heart:
Jesus over everything — in your choices, your timing, your reactions, your relationships, your healing… and your becoming.
