In this Episode, I interview special Kingdom Rockstar guest, Tonya Jewel Blessing, who is a former guest on the show.  Tonya lives in Columbus, Montana with her husband and is a Pastor, gifted National and International Speaker, published author and Co-Founder/Director of Strong Cross Ministries.  In our authentic conversation, Tonya shares her story of how God opened doors for her and her husband to relocate to Montana from South Africa after 11 years to become a Pastor, a passion she has had.  She also shares how God has provided for their ministry in South Africa through their transition back to the United States and  into her new Pastor position at her church.  Tonya also shares inspiring words and scriptures to encourage women going through transition and encourages listeners to share their transformational God stories of redemption for healing and blessing to those who need to hear them.

In This Episode:

Tonya is a return guest that was one of the first guests on the show! 

  • Tonya is a Pastor, gifted national and international speaker, published author, and Co-Founder/Director of Strong Cross Ministries.
  • God takes the stories of our lives and brings them to the foot of the cross for a plan of hope of redemption.
  • The men in our lives are important. It is so important and powerful when a couple works together and supports one another when it comes to spiritual things.
  • People have stories all over the world and those stories need to be told. There is such power in telling a story. Our stories need to be told to encourage others in the faith.
  • Tonya shares her “Passion for Pastoring Part 2” God Story. 
  • The power of God and His word overcomes whatever unusual circumstances people are facing. 
  • As women of God, we have to be passionate about preaching and pastoring others. 
  • Your story is going to extend and give long life to other women. Your stories of wisdom are going to bring blessings and spiritual promotions in others. When we share our stories great things happen.
  • Effective missions take place when local people are raised up to do the work of the ministry. 
  • Sometimes God calls us to go so a ministry can grow. 
  • Transition is difficult. We can embrace it or fight it. If we fight transition and stay in a place too long we will end up damaged and the people around us will end up damaged. When God begins to stir in us that it is time to transition and move, we have to obey.
  • Every opportunity you have, share your stories. Share the ugly, the bad, and the good.
