228 She Rededicated What the World Tried to Ruin: The Hidden Message of Hanukkah
As Hanukkah begins, let's explore this beautiful holiday which most Christians (including myself) don't know from a Biblical and historical perspective. In this episode, we'll explore the powerful and often overlooked message of Hanukkah—not as a holiday on the fringes of faith, but as a deeply prophetic and personal invitation for women to rededicate what the world has tried to ruin.
If you've ever felt burned out, worn down, or like your faith has been invaded by spiritual confusion or cultural compromise, this episode is for you. I take you through the historical and prophetic backdrop of Hanukkah, including how it connects to the Book of Daniel, how Jesus honored it in the Gospel of John, and why its themes of dedication, light, and holy resistance speak directly to modern women.
From the miracle of the oil to the cleansing of the desecrated Temple, this episode is filled with biblical truth, historical insight, and soul-deep reflection. I also share how this message intersects with my own journey—especially the season when I tried to blend Christian language with New Age practices and ended up spiritually exhausted.
Together, we’ll talk about what it means to:
- Reclaim your sacred ground
- Offer God your “small oil” when it feels like you have nothing left
- Become a vessel of His light instead of trying to perform for approval
- Let go of spiritual counterfeits and rededicate your soul to God
If this episode helped you rededicate part of your life to God or see Hanukkah in a whole new light, would you take 30 seconds to leave a quick review? Your reviews help The Illuminated Woman podcast reach more women who are ready to reclaim truth and walk in holy clarity.
