In this episode of Books, Beauty & Business: Live #2, we’re talking about the real, unfiltered reality of building a business while raising children at home. Not the highlight reel. Not the “perfect balance” myth. But the sacred, messy, everyday obedience of showing up when you’re tired, interrupted, doubting yourself, and still called by God anyway.

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” — 2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re doing it right…if you’ve ever built something while wiping tears, folding laundry, answering questions, and praying in between tasks…this conversation is for you.

You are not failing. You are building. And God is not confused about your capacity...even when you are.

Let’s talk about what it really looks like to raise children and raise a calling at the same time.

You’re not behind. You’re in the process.

Stay grounded. Stay faithful. Keep building.

Episode 34: Gangster to Gospel Gangster to Gospel 34 2 full TW: Robbery, Childhood Trauma

What happens when a life built in chaos, violence, poverty, and survival collides with the transforming power of Jesus Christ?

In this powerful testimony, Roosevelt Sargent shares the raw truth of his journey...born into brokenness, surrounded by addiction, gang culture, homelessness, and incarceration… yet radically changed by the saving grace of God. From handcuffs at 15 to calling as a pastor, author, and mentor, this is not just a story of “making it out”—this is a story of being made new.

“For if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV

This episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about destiny, damage, and redemption. Roosevelt reminds us that no matter how dark the beginning, God still writes victory into surrendered lives. The same streets that tried to destroy him became the soil where purpose was born.

This is for every underdog who wonders if their story is too far gone.

It’s not.

With God, broken becomes built. Lost becomes called. And the gangster becomes gospel.

Episode 32: Spirit, Scribe, Journey Spirit, Scribe, Journey 32 2 full There are moments when a man’s testimony doesn’t whisper… it thunders.

In this powerful episode of Christian Authors with Marilyn Jeanne Designs Podcast, we sit down with a born-again believer (June 6th, 1975) whose life has been marked by decades of ministry, prison outreach in Kentucky, worship through guitar, and a shepherd’s heart that refuses to be silent. Since 1984, his hands have been in the work of the Kingdom—teaching, leading, writing, and calling God’s people back to the reality that “God is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6, KJV).

This conversation is not polished religion...it is lived obedience.

From his Spirit, The Scribe, The Journey (Volumes 1–3) to I Remember, I Prayed, his written works carry one burning message: God is not distant. He is active, present, and deeply involved in the lives of those who pursue Him. Whether behind prison walls or within small groups, his mission remains unshaken...empowering believers to become who God created them to be through the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

His ministry, B4eternity, exists to see the manifestation of the Spirit in the body of Christ...awakening gifts, igniting faith, and restoring prayer as a lifestyle rather than a last resort.

As he boldly declares in this episode: God is real, and you can know Him.

This is not just an interview. It is a call to return to prayer, to surrender, and to walk in the authority of Christ without compromise.

Episode 31: Darkness to Deliverance Darkness to Deliverance 31 2 full TW: SA; Drinking; Family Dysfunction; Witchcraft Mentions

There are stories that whisper…and then there are testimonies that shake the gates of hell.

In this episode of Darkness to Deliverance, we sit down with Annetta Caldwell, a wife, mother of seven, dancer, author, and worshipper whose life reads like a battlefield map of bondage turned breakthrough. From addiction, abuse, spiritual oppression, and deep darkness… to the undeniable light and freedom found only in Jesus Christ, this is not just a story of survival...it is a declaration of deliverance.

“I felt God wanted me to get my testimony out there…to let people know what God can do in your life if you give Him control.” — Annetta Caldwell

And beloved, hear this: there is power in your “yes.”

Annetta shares how the Lord pulled her out of places she thought she would never escape, rewriting her identity through worship, obedience, and radical surrender. From Youth With A Mission training to dancing in ministry, to raising seven children while walking out healing...her life is living proof that the blood of Jesus still breaks every chain.

We also dive into practical encouragement for Christian authors stepping into obedience, how storytelling becomes ministry, and how your testimony can become a weapon for Kingdom impact. Plus, she shares a powerful reminder for women navigating brokenness: you are not too far gone, and you are not forgotten.

If you’re a believer, a writer, or someone sitting in the tension between “I’m still in it” and “God, can You really deliver me?”—this episode will meet you right there.

We also talk about marketing through testimony and obedience, including how platforms like TikTok can be used to share truth boldly in a digital generation without compromise.

Because deliverance isn’t just a moment...it’s a message.

What happens when God completely redirects your life after decades of building worldly success?

In this powerful episode, we sit down with JR Rennie, founder of BrushFires Ministry, to talk about discovering your God-given purpose, walking in obedience, and why so many Believers feel stuck, overlooked, and spiritually exhausted.

Through conviction, calling, and Kingdom alignment, BrushFires Ministry was born...a ministry helping Christians uncover their strengths, understand how God uniquely created them, and step boldly into their destiny.

This conversation is bold, faith-filled, practical, and deeply convicting for anyone who knows they were created for MORE.

• You’re spinning your wheels spiritually
• You don’t know your calling
• You feel misunderstood in ministry

• You know God is calling you higher

…this episode is for YOU.
