Ep. 037 – Getting Through the Holidays with Victory, Peace, and Holy Boundaries with Pastor Valora Cole: Whole Life Podcast Relaunch

Holidays can stir up old mother wounds, family dysfunction, and false guilt… but Jesus invites us to stay in the Spirit, guard our hearts, and walk in peace. In this powerful holiday conversation, Dr. Barbara (minister who also happens to be a psychologist) and her covenant sister Pastor Valora Cole (Contagious Church, Tampa + Fearless Global) talk about how to set loving boundaries, release emotional manipulation, and stay connected to the Father even when family can’t or won’t.
You’ll also hear beautiful affirmations to speak over yourself, scriptures on boundaries, and a prayer covering your Thanksgiving week.
