The Burning Heart: A Conversation with Henry Nwaneri Luke 24:30–33

<p>Welcome to the very first episode of The Golden Hour Sundays, a new live Bible discussion series within Above the Clouds. This is not a sermon from a stage. This is a table. A sacred space where Scripture is opened with trembling hands, honest questions are welcomed, and the Holy Spirit leads the conversation.</p><p>I&#39;m Charldene, and tonight I&#39;m sitting with Henry Nwaneri. Lead Pastor, Prophetic Intercessor, Revivalist, and Worshipper. He came all the way from Canada at midnight his time. Not to perform. To break bread.</p><p>Henry brought one Scripture: Luke 24, the road to Emmaus. The burning heart. The moment eyes open. And what unfolded was more than a Bible discussion. It became a prophetic encounter.</p><p>In this episode, Henry teaches on the posture of the heart. Why two disciples could walk with Jesus for hours and not recognise Him, but John could see the glorified Christ and know exactly who He was. Intimacy was the difference.</p><p>He speaks directly into disappointment. Into the cancelled wedding, the long journey, the desire to give up. And he prophesies over my life with a word only God could have given him, about flourishing, about beauty and war, about the harder route, and about the testimony that comes from intimacy, not from borrowed words.</p><p>This episode faced real spiritual warfare. The screen froze. The audio echoed. The signal dropped. But Henry didn&#39;t stop. He kept teaching. Kept prophesying. And when I came back online, unable to hear a word he had said, I asked the exact question he was just about to answer. That wasn&#39;t me. That was the mighty hand of God.</p><p>Here&#39;s what I hope you take from this episode:</p><p>🔥 The posture of your heart determines what you can see.<br>🍞 That revelation doesn&#39;t come on the road; it comes at the table.<br>🕯️ That your testimony comes from your intimacy with God, not from what you&#39;ve heard.<br>💔 That disappointment can set you on a journey away from where God told you to stay, but Jesus will walk with you anyway.<br>🛡️ That the enemy fights what God is birthing, and the Word will still go out.</p><p><strong>Scripture we anchored into:</strong><br>📖 &quot;Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked with us on the road?&quot; — Luke 24:32<br>📖 &quot;Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning Himself.&quot; — Luke 24:27<br>📖 &quot;Then their eyes were opened and they recognised Him.&quot; — Luke 24:31</p><p><strong>A special word for anyone who has been wounded by church leadership:</strong><br>Henry asked me why I don&#39;t currently attend church. What followed was one of the most honest, tender, and healing conversations I&#39;ve ever had. If you&#39;ve ever been hurt by a leader, misunderstood, or made to feel like you don&#39;t belong, this part of the episode is for you.</p><p><strong>Connect With Me &amp; Join the Sanctuary:</strong><br>This isn&#39;t just a podcast. It&#39;s a soft place to land when the world feels heavy. A sanctuary for women and men walking through loss, grief, betrayal, and the messy middle of transition.

Grief Needs No Fixing. Grief Needs Holding. Part 2: The Surrender

<p><strong>Have you ever asked God for a miracle and heard Him say no?</strong></p><p>Welcome back to Above the Clouds. I&#39;m Charldene, and this is Part 2 of my conversation with Marcia Earhart, a mother who buried two sons and is still standing. This episode goes deeper. Past the knock on the door. Into the aftermath. Into the long, slow work of rebuilding a life when everything has died.</p><p>In this episode, Marcia takes us into the moments she&#39;s never shared publicly. What it felt like to walk away from Sterling&#39;s body and not look back. The spiritual battle that surrounded Mark&#39;s funeral. The friends who disappeared. The family members who didn&#39;t show up. And the holy, painful process of letting everything die, her marriage, her identity, her old life, so God could resurrect something new.</p><p>We talk about what it means to grieve with hope when the hope doesn&#39;t feel hopeful. The difference between mourning and grieving. Why she doesn&#39;t say &quot;I lost my sons&quot;, she says &quot;I still have them.&quot; And the sacred truth she learned: she is closer to Sterling and Mark now than if they were still alive, because their spirits abide together in Christ.</p><p>I also share more of my own story in this episode. The betrayal that cost me everything. The hard decisions I had to make between motherhood and my career. And what it looks like to sit in the tension of believing God is good when everything around you says otherwise.</p><p><strong>Here&#39;s what I hope you take from this episode:</strong></p><ul><li><p>That surrender is not weakness, it&#39;s the first step toward resurrection.</p></li><li><p>That not everyone is meant to walk through your grief with you, and that&#39;s okay.</p></li><li><p>That forgiveness is not a feeling. It&#39;s a choice you make again and again.</p></li><li><p>That your pain is not a dead end. It&#39;s a template for someone else&#39;s healing.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Scripture we anchored into:</strong><br>📖 &quot;I will restore to you the years that the locusts have eaten.&quot; — Joel 2:25<br>📖 &quot;Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.&quot; — Psalm 30:5<br>📖 &quot;The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God&#39;s children.&quot; — Romans 8:16</p><p><strong>A special word for my cabin crew sisters:</strong><br>Marcia talks about what it&#39;s like to serve when you&#39;re shattered inside. To put on the uniform and the smile when your world has collapsed. There&#39;s a word in this episode for the woman who&#39;s still performing while she&#39;s breaking. Don&#39;t skip it.</p><p><strong>Connect With Me &amp; Join the Sisterhood</strong></p><p>This isn&#39;t just a podcast. It&#39;s a soft place to land when the world feels heavy.

Grief Needs No Fixing. Grief Needs Holding.

<p><strong>Have you ever been so swallowed by grief that you forgot what it felt like to just… breathe?</strong></p><p>Welcome to the very first episode of Above the Clouds. I&#39;m Charldene, and this one? This one is sacred ground.</p><p>I sat down with Marcia Earhart, a woman who has been walking with grief since she was just three and a half years old. By the time she turned eighteen, she had already lived through seventeen devastating losses. But nothing, and I mean nothing, could have prepared her for what came next. In 2014, her oldest son Sterling was killed in a tragic car accident. Then, in 2019, her second son Mark was murdered. Two sons. Two funerals. One mother still standing.</p><p>In this conversation, Marcia doesn&#39;t just talk about grief. She takes us right into the middle of it. She tells us what it felt like to wake up ten minutes before the sheriffs knocked on her door, and how the Father was already holding her before she even knew what happened. She shares the moment she asked God if she could pray over Sterling&#39;s body, fully believing He could raise him from the dead, and heard the Lord whisper, &quot;No. He has eternal life. Leave him with Me.&quot;</p><p>I also brought my own grief into the room. My grandmother passed away just three months before this recording, and I was honest about the family wounds that almost kept me from her funeral. We talked about the messy middle, the part of healing no one warns you about. The part where you have to let the old version of yourself die so God can resurrect something new.</p><p><strong>Here&#39;s what I hope you take from this episode:</strong></p><ul><li><p>That grief doesn&#39;t need fixing. It needs holding.</p></li><li><p>That you&#39;re allowed to grieve differently than everyone else.</p></li><li><p>That forgiveness is a choice, and sometimes you have to make it a thousand times before it sticks.</p></li><li><p>That you can be fully healed. Not just &quot;better at carrying it.&quot; Healed.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Scripture we anchored into:</strong><br>📖 &quot;The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.&quot; — Psalm 34:18<br>📖 &quot;I know the plans I have for you, plans to give you hope and a future.&quot; — Jeremiah 29:11<br>📖 &quot;By His stripes we are healed.&quot; — Isaiah 53:5</p><p><strong>A special word for my cabin crew sisters:</strong><br>I know what it&#39;s like to serve with a smile when you&#39;re dying inside. Marcia and I talked about that too, how to hold grief when you still have to show up and perform. There&#39;s a reflection question just for you in this episode. Don&#39;t skip it.</p><p>If this episode felt like a warm hand on your shoulder, would you do me a favor?<strong> Leave a review. It helps other women find this sanctuary. Share it with a sister who&#39;s carrying a weight she never talks about. And if you&#39;re ready to stop healing alone. </strong></p><p><strong>Connect With Me &amp; Join the Sisterhood</strong></p><p>This isn&#39;t just a podcast.
