Episode Introduction:
Are you in a season where what once felt fruitful now feels forced? Maybe you're sensing a subtle heaviness or holy restlessness—a divine discontentment nudging you toward something new. In this episode, Charity Majors dives deep into the process of transition: how to discern when God's grace is shifting, what to do in the in-between, and how surrendering your own plans can open you to God's new assignment for your life. Real, raw, and filled with spiritual insight, this episode is for anyone navigating change, wrestling with letting go, or longing for clarity in the midst of uncertainty.

Key Takeaways:

• Discernment in Transition: Not every struggle means you're supposed to quit; learn to discern when God is moving you into a new season through spiritual "friction" and discontentment.

• Recognizing When Grace Lifts: When what used to be easy starts to feel draining, doors close, and connections misalign, it's time to listen for God's direction.

• God's Grace Has Different Paces: Sometimes He gives you a green light with ease, other times, a yellow light calling for patience. Both are purposeful.

• Transition Isn't Punishment: A shifting grace isn't God's disappointment but often His loving protection, preparing you for what's next.

• Letting Go with Surrender: The old season may have held your identity or comfort, but God invites us to loosen our grip for deeper transformation and new assignments.

• Practical Anchors: Daily surrender, naming your ache, seeking wise counsel, and following peace can anchor you through spiritual transitions.

• You Are Being Led, Not Lost: When grace lifts, it's an invitation to trust God's faithfulness and step into more of what He has for you.

Introduction:
Welcome to another powerful episode of the Meant For More Podcast! In Episode 158, host Charity Majors shares an incredibly special and deeply personal session featuring Hayley Braun, overseer of the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry and author of "Surrendered to the Holy Spirit." This episode is a live recording from one of Charity's women's ministry events, where Hayley's message had a lasting impact. Hayley bravely shares her journey of battling the world's expectations, overcoming the "imposter syndrome," embracing her God-given identity as a woman, and learning what true surrender looks like. Her testimony is raw, real, and full of invitations for listeners to step into God's strength, especially in seasons of weakness and transition. You'll find encouragement, practical wisdom, and even a time of prophetic ministry as Hayley prays over the women gathered—and you as well.

Key Timestamps:

• [00:00:05] Introduction to Hayley Braun
  Charity introduces Hayley and shares why this message is being re-released in this season.

• [00:06:00] Women and the Struggle for Identity
  Hayley shares about the challenges women face navigating roles, expectations, and the "constellation of contradictions" society places on them.

• [00:14:16] Biblical Empowerment – The True Meaning of 'Helper'
  Hayley unpacks the Hebrew word "ezer kenegdo" and what it means for women to be designed as powerful rescuers and contributors—not passive sidekicks.

• [00:25:06] The Power Perfected in Weakness
  Hayley recounts her journey through exhaustion, burnout, and her daughter's Down syndrome diagnosis, revealing how surrendering to the Holy Spirit changed her life.

• [00:33:09] Breaking Free from the Fear of Man
  Listen as Hayley details the encounter that broke the stronghold of striving and the steps she took to fully surrender to God's leading.

• [00:50:39] Abiding, Not Striving
  A reminder that bearing fruit comes from abiding in God, not from striving or performing.

• [00:53:46] Prophetic Ministry & Closing Prayer
  Hayley prays a powerful prayer of surrender and releases a prophetic word over a listener, encouraging all to yield their weaknesses to God's strength.

Key Takeaways:

• You are not alone in struggling with the tension between who you "should" be and who God created you to be. Hayley's honest reflections remind us that this is a universal struggle, especially for women.

• Biblical femininity is brave and strong. The word "helper" in Genesis is the same word used of God's rescuing strength, not a diminished role.

• Weakness is not a liability. God's greatest power is displayed in your places of greatest need and dependence.

• Surrender invites supernatural empowerment. Hayley's testimony is a roadmap for letting go of striving and stepping into the true, life-changing power of the Holy Spirit.

• Community matters. You don't have to fight for your place or calling alone. Gatherings, events, and prophetic ministry can play a pivotal role in your journey.

• God's grace is the foundation of fruitfulness. It's all about abiding in Him, not hitting a list of requirements.

Episode Summary:

Join Charity Majors and her dear friend Viorica Wakelam for an honest, laughter-filled, and vulnerable conversation on what it really takes to move from casual acquaintances to deep, godly friendships. In this special episode of our Faithful Friends series, they unpack the differences between good friends and God-knit connections, the power of shared convictions, and the beauty (and challenge) of being seen and loved in community.

Whether you've struggled to find authentic friendship or you want to deepen the relationships in your life, this conversation is full of wisdom, real-life stories, and scriptural encouragement.

Key Timestamps:

• [00:00:08] Kicking off with memories & how Charity and Viorica met

• [00:10:00] Their "friend-dating" story and their leap of faith going to a prophetic conference together

• [00:14:00] Charity's childhood: Navigating culture, faith, and finding friends as an immigrant

• [00:19:00] Processing loss, betrayal, and the shift that happened when God entered the picture

• [00:23:00] The revelation: How loving people well changes everything

• [00:31:00] Healing, redemption, and learning to love people in their "mess"

• [00:37:00] The difference between good friends and godly friends—conviction, truth-telling, and iron sharpening iron

• [00:53:00] Friendship is (supposed to be!) inconvenient: Intentionality, risk, and the gift of going deeper

Key Takeaways:

• Godly friendship is formed by more than just common interests. Conviction, pursuit of God, and willingness to speak truth in love set these relationships apart.

• Vulnerability is risky—but totally worth it. True friendships require us to trust each other with the hard stuff, knowing there's grace for our imperfections.

• Inconvenience is part of the deal. Meaningful friendships are rarely "convenient"; they require sacrifice, intentional pursuit, and the willingness to initiate.

• God's idea, not an afterthought. Friendship isn't optional in the Kingdom—it's a core way that God shows us His love and shapes our lives.

• Embrace the mess and the growth. Both Charity and Viorica share candidly about hurt, betrayal, and the challenge to stay soft-hearted, even when relationships change or wounds occur.

• Choose patience and prayer. Sometimes seasons shift and friendships fade, but God is at work in our relationships—He's in the business of redemption, even in friendship.

If you're craving deeper, more authentic friendships rooted in faith—this episode is a must-listen!

Listen, share, and let us know your favorite takeaway from this powerful conversation!
