More About
This Project...
"Permission to Emerge" is a prophetic devotional that weaves together deeply personal journeys with biblical insight and prophetic revelation. Each chapter highlights a woman’s process of rising from obscurity into obedience, from trauma into triumph, from silence into sound. With every story, you’ll find a pairing scripture that served as an anchor in the storm a divine mirror of God’s hand throughout the journey.
This book will walk readers through the emergence of modern-day Deborahs, Esthers, and Hannahs women who were once bound by shame, trauma, fear, or passivity, but who now roar with identity, courage, and authority. These are the women who stopped waiting for permission and realized God already gave it.
