The Illuminated Woman

229 She Fought the Good Fight: Why the Illuminated Woman Finishes Well

Lori Latimer Episode 229

As this year comes to a close, I wanted to end with a message that isn’t about hustle, resolutions, or reinventing yourself—but about finishing well. In this final episode of the year, we step into the sacred space of 2 Timothy, Paul’s last letter, and explore what it means to live with boldness, obedience, and quiet endurance in a world obsessed with performance.

This isn’t about flashy faith or spiritual ambition. It’s about faithful women who stay the course—even when it’s hard, even when no one’s watching, even when the applause fades.

I share some personal stories about how I used to chase visibility and validation in the New Age, how I tried to gather teachers who told me what I wanted to hear, and how God lovingly disrupted all of that. Together, we’ll reflect on spiritual legacy, obedience, discernment, and the quiet glory of a woman who chooses to finish the race set before her.

In this episode you'll hear:

  • Why 2 Timothy is the perfect closing message for the end of the year
  • The difference between spiritual performance and spiritual endurance
  • What it means to share God's Word even if no one seems to be listening
  • The dangers of “ear-tickling” messages in New Age and modern spirituality
  • How to live out a legacy of quiet, generational faith like Lois and Eunice
  • Why finishing your race matters more than how perfectly you started it

I also shared a lot of journal questions for you to work with that I hope will support you at any time of the year.

Whether this year felt fruitful or like a wilderness, I pray this episode anchors you in what matters most: keeping the faith.
