Empowered by The Word

Welcome to Empowered By The Word, where Scripture isn’t just read, it’s lived.

This space was created for believers who are hungry to grow, ready to be challenged, and open to transformation. Empowered By The Word (EBTW) is more than a blog name. It’s a lifestyle, a mindset, and a spiritual invitation.

Yes, we memorize scripture here…but that’s only the beginning.

Grit, The Quiet Strength Behind a Believer’s Faith

Let’s be real: life will test you. It will push, pull, and press you. And as a believer, your walk with the Lord doesn’t exempt you from that, it actually refines you through it. That’s where grit comes in. Now, you won’t find the word “grit” in the Bible, but its...

When Your Prayers Feel Unanswered | What To So While You Wait

There’s a sacred tension in the space between “Amen” and “It is so.”It’s the ache of hoping with no visible harvest. The quiet where heaven seems still, and your prayers feel like they’ve evaporated into thin air. Have you ever sat in that space, wondering if the Lord...

The Gift of Rest | Reclaiming God’s Rhythm For Your Life

Let’s talk about something many of us ignore until our bodies force us to pay attention…rest. Not just sleep or zoning out in front of the TV, but soul-deep, intentional rest. The kind that restores your mind, body, and spirit. The kind God modeled, commanded, and...

Holy Hydration | Quenching Your Body & Soul

We’ve all heard the reminder: Drink more water.And if you're like me, there are days you totally nail it, and others where your water bottle sits untouched like a forgotten sidekick. But here's something that stopped me in my tracks: just like our bodies crave...

Fit in Faith | Honoring God With Our Strength

Let’s take a moment to reframe the way we think about fitness. What if your workout wasn’t just about getting toned arms or managing blood pressure? What if it was worship? As we mature in years, and in faith, our approach to health should grow with us. Physical...

Anointed & Aligned | Hormone Health, Faith & Wholeness for Women

Some seasons whisper in quietly. Others show up like an uninvited houseguest, flinging open the windows, turning up the heat, and rummaging through your emotions without warning. Welcome to the hormonal shift. Whether you’re navigating the subtle beginnings of...

Hearing God Clearly in a Noisy World

Practical and Spiritual Tools for Discerning God's Voice Let’s face it, our world is loud. Notifications, news cycles, to-do lists, voices of others, and even our own inner chatter compete for attention. But in the middle of the chaos, there is still a gentle, steady...

Longing For More | The Power of Consistency

How Daily Disciplines Strengthen Your Walk with God Let’s talk truth for a moment. You don’t drift into spiritual maturity, you grow into it. And growth? It’s slow. Steady. Daily. It doesn’t always come with fireworks or fanfare. But when you look back, you’ll see...

“Live Your Life Confidently, Without Excuses or Apologies.”

                                   ~Jacques McNeil

She is a motivational speaker who possesses the tongue of the learned, audiences are challenged, empowered, and inspired by Jacques’ candor and ability to tackle difficult subject matters using wisdom and the love of Christ. 

She operates her life from the overflow of an intimate relationship with the Lord. Her love for Him and His people is unquestionable. She’ll climb mountains to help God’s people get to the place He desire for their life. 

She is a woman who isn’t afraid to step outside of her comfort zone to fulfill God’s plan for her life, and she encourages others to do the same.
