This special episode of The Victory Podcast is dedicated to my big brother, Junior.

On July 11, I lost more than my brother. I lost one of my closest friends—the person I could call about anything, the person who could make me laugh when I didn’t feel like laughing, and the person who constantly reminded me that I was capable of more than I sometimes believed about myself.

Since losing him, I’ve learned that grief doesn’t move in a straight line. One minute you’re okay. Then you hear a song, see a picture, read an old text, or remember something they used to say, and suddenly that wave hits all over again.

In this episode, I’m being completely transparent about where I am right now. I talk about losing my brother, missing his final phone call, struggling with my faith, trying to continue working and showing up for the people who depend on me, and being honest about my relationship with alcohol after previously sharing my experience with AA.

I don’t have a perfect testimony wrapped up with a bow at the end of this episode. I’m still grieving. I’m still asking God questions. I’m still figuring out how to keep going.

And that’s okay.

Things may be okay one day, but they’re not okay today.

If you’re grieving someone you love, I hope this episode reminds you that those waves of sadness, laughter, memories, anger, questions, and even moments of peace can all exist together. Give yourself permission to feel them, and don’t be afraid to reach out for support when you need it.

This one’s for you, big bro.

May the Force be with you. Always. ❤️

Episode 2: No Other Gods – Part 2 | From Judgment to Freedom

In this deeply personal episode of The Victory Podcast, I share my journey through addiction to alcohol and marijuana, my first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, and what God has been teaching me about grace, humility, and freedom. Through Matthew 7:1–5, I reflect on how I judged other addicts while failing to acknowledge my own struggle with alcohol.

I also share how I knew Jesus from a very young age, experienced a life-changing encounter with Him at sixteen that led me away from drugs, yet continued drinking for years in an attempt to fit in until it became a habitual addiction. By God’s grace, I celebrate being two weeks sober from alcohol and testify that true freedom begins when we stop judging others, confront our own brokenness, and allow Christ to transform us from the inside out.

“Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the plank in your own eye?” — Matthew 7:3

Join me as I share how God’s mercy met me in my weakness and continues to lead me on the path of healing and victory.

Episode 1: No Other Gods… Including You: Check Yourself Before You Check Others (Part 1)

Welcome to the very first episode of The Victory Podcast with Empress Victory. In this foundational episode, we begin by setting the atmosphere through prayer and an in-depth Bible study from Colossians 3, focusing on what it truly means to seek the things above and put Christ at the center of our lives. Together, we examine how idolatry isn’t always found in statues or possessions—it can also be found in pride, self-righteousness, our opinions, and even ourselves. This episode challenges us to examine our own hearts before judging others, encouraging believers to die to the old self, renew their minds, and walk in the identity Christ has given them. Join us as we begin this journey of healing, truth, transformation, and victory—one Scripture at a time.
