🎙️ Episode 7: The Weight of an Intercessor – Featuring Malaya Jackson
In this episode, we sit down with Malaya Jackson, a wife, mother of four, and entrepreneur whose life story defines the beauty of a returned heart. Raised in the church under the leadership of her parents, Pastor Williamson and First Lady Thelmecya of Destiny Church, Malaya was called to be an intercessor at the tender age of three. However, the heavy "weight" of that mantle led her on a lifelong journey of running—navigating through the darkest seasons of physical and verbal abuse, depression, and crushing suicidal thoughts.

The title of this episode, "The Weight of an Intercessor," speaks to the raw reality of carrying a divine calling while feeling completely helpless. Malaya shares her transparent journey of trying to numb her pain through self-medication while struggling as a single mother to keep it all together. Now back and stronger than ever, she shares how losing sight of God actually led her to find His real love—a strength she never knew she had. Malaya is living proof that God can use every broken piece of your past to build a future of authority and grace.
