Transforming Your Wealth Identity with Faith Based Principles with Victoria Washington

We all know money wounds run deep in the family. But did you know Victoria Washington found out those scarcity sensations actually live in your blood? Wild right? 

Today, we are joined by Victoria Washington, Wealth Activator, Creative Director, Transformational Speaker, and Founder of The House of WE®. 

Through her journey of self-discovery, she realized all the lack patterns and covenants of limitation she saw in her lineage were things passed down through generations. By doing the inner work to uncover where it was coming from in her story and choosing to break free from those old agreements, she transformed everything overnight—from bankruptcy to multiple six figures! 

Now she gets it: When you heal your money story and change your relationship with wealth through embodying principles with God at the center, you create a whole new legacy. 

We talk more about: 

• Victoria's spiritual journey of self-discovery 
• Developing a conscious relationship with money
• Healing generational patterns of scarcity
• Embodying faith and finance principles
• Sensation work and money manifestation

00:00:02.400 --> 00:00:03.220
Victoria Washington: Amazing.

2
00:00:03.220 --> 00:00:27.231
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Okay. Welcome, Victoria. I girl. I just wanna say you know how like everyone's vibe in on like Taylor swifties like they're all swifty fans. I'm a Victoria fan. I'm a tori through and through. I have been following you for about a year now. And, girl, I know you're gonna blow people's minds with what we're gonna talk about today. And I'm just so grateful to have you on the show.

3
00:00:27.690 --> 00:00:52.379
Dr. Kayla Lucas: I feel like you have this authentic presence in your messaging and what you are teaching people, and how you are building a faith based God principled business. I myself am not a person who would say that I talk about God really easily with friends, or I express it very easily. And I ask that audience today just keep an open mind for what this woman is going to teach you, and

4
00:00:52.380 --> 00:01:11.600
Dr. Kayla Lucas: and what she's going to bring you into, because her stuff is so God-centered. Her words create rip tides of breakthrough that pull you in out of your comfort zone, really change the face of how you think about yourself, how you think about God, how you think about your wealth and everything that you know to be true. So

5
00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:22.684
Dr. Kayla Lucas: I just know that this at this episode, this conversation, needed to happen. I needed to speak with you. I needed to share you with as many people as possible. So Hi, Victoria!

6
00:01:24.286 --> 00:01:26.879
Victoria Washington: Let me just pick myself up off the floor, cause that was

7
00:01:27.130 --> 00:01:39.860
Victoria Washington: the most beautiful introduction, and I feel so blessed to be here. I thank God that he brought us together, and I know we had to reschedule this a couple of times just full transparency, and never once did I

8
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:49.210
Victoria Washington: think, to cancel it like it definitely feels like this just had to happen. And I'm very much looking forward to seeing how the Holy Spirit moves and

9
00:01:49.250 --> 00:01:54.440
Victoria Washington: what fills the room? Because there's going to be some breakthrough for people. So thanks.

10
00:01:54.440 --> 00:02:04.525
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Absolutely. I I agree with you. I I mean, my husband knows about you. I'm like I'm doing another training with Victoria. He's just like man you talk about this girl like she's your best yet. I'm like I'm making girl my Bestie.

11
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.699
Victoria Washington: Philosophy. That's right. That's so amazing.

12
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:22.979
Dr. Kayla Lucas: People who don't know you. Oh, God! Everybody run and follow! I am Victoria Washington and the house of We. But for people who don't know you at yet who are not in your world like. Please share your backstory and the development of your faith based business of the House of we.

13
00:02:24.223 --> 00:02:27.500
Victoria Washington: Every time I get asked this question on a podcast I just

14
00:02:27.860 --> 00:02:36.020
Victoria Washington: let God lead me to where he wants me to start the story because it's so long, and there's many different chapters to it.

15
00:02:36.060 --> 00:02:38.730
Victoria Washington: I didn't grow up in a household that

16
00:02:39.700 --> 00:02:54.149
Victoria Washington: created any sort of religious practice or any sort like it did. I wasn't forced to believe anything, and I saw remnants and aspects of Christianity. I saw aspects of Catholics. I went to Catholic school for a year.

17
00:02:54.450 --> 00:03:06.220
Victoria Washington: who went to public school after that? And then, you know, I ended up falling into new age and found a return to love which I've now discovered is connected to a course of miracles which I no longer.

18
00:03:07.030 --> 00:03:10.639
Victoria Washington: But that was my 1st introduction to there being

19
00:03:11.010 --> 00:03:25.950
Victoria Washington: something outside of myself, you know, as a human being, there's something outside of myself, and that's something in I've heard in different iterations with God. And then, of course, and miracles with something else. And so I was getting introduced to the fact that, like, I'm not here

20
00:03:26.020 --> 00:03:54.359
Victoria Washington: on my own accord, and I think we all can relate with coming to that realization. And then the path we take from there is unique, based off of our background, our lived experiences, and so many things so flash forward to my twenties. I am living in Chicago. I'm in a relationship that is not going well, I'm engaged, and we end up ending our engagement, and I decided to move to San Diego with a 1 way ticket. So I pretty much packed up my whole life into backpacks

21
00:03:54.580 --> 00:03:57.900
Victoria Washington: and flew across the country with $400 to my name.

22
00:03:57.910 --> 00:04:19.280
Victoria Washington: and at the time, you know, in your mid twenties that feels like a big quest. That's something that feels brave and bold, and it was in so many ways, but it was also dripping with ignorance and so much oblivion, and I had no idea, like what God was actually about to do with my life with that one flight. And when I got to San Diego I started my quote in air, quotes, if you can't see this business.

23
00:04:19.300 --> 00:04:24.919
Victoria Washington: And that was really the process of me coming to terms with the fact that money exists.

24
00:04:25.050 --> 00:04:26.999
Victoria Washington: and I know that sounds a little bit

25
00:04:27.460 --> 00:04:47.749
Victoria Washington: simple for some people. But when we're working paycheck to paycheck, and just in the corporate world, we're not actually thinking about our relationship with money. We're thinking about time and what time we need to put in to get whatever that paycheck is. So I didn't have this intentional plan or relationship with money.

26
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:55.830
Victoria Washington: and then when I started my business, I recognized we need to price things like now I need to. I'm in charge of this, and I had no

27
00:04:56.170 --> 00:05:04.929
Victoria Washington: boundaries. I had no awareness of what that really meant, so while I was making money, I could never keep it.

28
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:27.339
Victoria Washington: and I was always just bare minimum, barely just barely just, barely, and I got very accustomed to that, to the point where I felt proud. By that I used to call myself resourceful. I used to be like, you know, I can make anything work, and we start to wear those things like a badge of honor. But inside I was in pain, and I was surviving, and I was not happy, and I was also just

29
00:05:27.340 --> 00:05:36.289
Victoria Washington: seeking and obsessed with like finding the answer through all these different spiritual practices that were ultimately leaving me more broke and empty.

30
00:05:36.540 --> 00:05:47.970
Victoria Washington: and so flash forward about a couple of years into my business. I ended up filing bankruptcy, and that is the start of my testimony of where I finally

31
00:05:48.660 --> 00:06:11.749
Victoria Washington: got to a place of emptiness where nothing was working, none, none of the spiritual practices, none of the crystals, none of the meditations, none of the none of the hip, no therapies, none of the I mean. I did it all all the things, and nothing was working. Nothing was fulfilling me. It it I was going down an empty road, and when I filed, bankruptcy

32
00:06:12.210 --> 00:06:15.199
Victoria Washington: was the 1st time I started to turn towards God

33
00:06:15.440 --> 00:06:18.340
Victoria Washington: and started to discover

34
00:06:18.890 --> 00:06:31.529
Victoria Washington: that my relationship with money was reflecting my relationship with me and my value, and that at the age of 29. I had no concept of my value.

35
00:06:31.570 --> 00:06:38.229
Victoria Washington: not just worth, because worth is a very surface level experience, but my value

36
00:06:38.230 --> 00:07:02.090
Victoria Washington: and feeling, chosen as a high, valuable woman in the world, and knowing how to take that value and produce assets that I could then turn into the resource of money, and no idea of my skills, my high income earning skills. I never spent time discovering those things because I was just in survival and thought that money was something that you use as a method of safety. So I would. I was a user of money.

37
00:07:02.170 --> 00:07:03.980
Victoria Washington: But I was not a steward

38
00:07:03.990 --> 00:07:09.420
Victoria Washington: of my skills. I was not a steward of my value, so why would I be a steward of wealth?

39
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:17.749
Victoria Washington: And that was a huge wake-up call. It was a big correction that came with a lot of humility, a lot of changes.

40
00:07:17.770 --> 00:07:41.579
Victoria Washington: and I can't say that immediately. I accepted all of them. You know I strayed away from God. Even after that I was like, Okay, great. Thank you for showing me that big piece of information. But I went back to my rituals, back to my my new age stuff back to the things that were feeding me, the lie that I'm all powerful, that I can be infinite, that I can be unlimited, that if I do this, and I can manifest that that felt better for my well.

41
00:07:42.710 --> 00:07:44.790
Victoria Washington: And God trying to correct me

42
00:07:45.310 --> 00:07:47.669
Victoria Washington: and get me to take responsibility.

43
00:07:48.130 --> 00:07:49.100
Victoria Washington: 4.

44
00:07:49.250 --> 00:07:55.409
Victoria Washington: My lineage for me, for what I was sowing in my soil. And so

45
00:07:55.490 --> 00:08:02.190
Victoria Washington: throughout that whole time I was going back and forth internally discovering

46
00:08:02.710 --> 00:08:05.420
Victoria Washington: what it really meant to

47
00:08:06.020 --> 00:08:08.800
Victoria Washington: be somebody that could be trusted.

48
00:08:09.100 --> 00:08:19.880
Victoria Washington: not just with money, but anything trusted with the gift of speaking trusted with, you know every single person here listening has a gift within them, and you either

49
00:08:19.890 --> 00:08:34.590
Victoria Washington: are moving that gift into the world in a trustworthy way, or you're being irresponsible with it. And I was being very irresponsible with it. I wasn't respecting the vessel that carried that gift. I wasn't living my life. By the Word of God, I wasn't doing things that were truly

50
00:08:34.950 --> 00:08:36.830
Victoria Washington: bringing me to fulfillment.

51
00:08:37.330 --> 00:08:38.309
Victoria Washington: so

52
00:08:38.880 --> 00:08:44.029
Victoria Washington: flash forward. I'll get into some celebrations, because there it wasn't all like me on the floor, going back and forth.

53
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:44.899
Dr. Kayla Lucas: There was.

54
00:08:44.900 --> 00:08:48.510
Victoria Washington: 6. There was a 6 figure year right after bankruptcy.

55
00:08:48.620 --> 00:09:06.739
Victoria Washington: as this is just the grace of God. A 6 figure year right after bankruptcy. And then that went into multiple 6 figures. And within 2 years I hit 7 figures. And this was after my bankruptcy. Lawyer said, this is gonna take a long time for you to recover, and I never believed him. I felt so clear when I was in that courthouse. God showed me

56
00:09:06.770 --> 00:09:14.220
Victoria Washington: my assignment. God showed me my position. I didn't believe him. Like many of us. Don't. Even Moses, in the beginning of the Bible.

57
00:09:14.460 --> 00:09:17.480
Victoria Washington: Moses was called to lead the

58
00:09:18.060 --> 00:09:19.900
Victoria Washington: to lead the

59
00:09:20.630 --> 00:09:23.979
Victoria Washington: to lead his people out of Egypt.

60
00:09:23.990 --> 00:09:30.490
Victoria Washington: and the 1st thing he asked God was was trying to convince him for it to not be him.

61
00:09:30.490 --> 00:09:30.990
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Yeah.

62
00:09:30.990 --> 00:09:55.450
Victoria Washington: Like. Why me like? Ca, no, you should. I don't know how to speak, he said. I don't know how to put my words together, he said, and God literally said, Tim, I'm going to show you how to speak. I'm going to teach you how to do this, and then God invited him to bring his brother Erin in, and Erin was going to accompany him and teach him. So when we accept our position from God, we're not just giving up everything and not getting anything.

63
00:09:56.060 --> 00:10:09.819
Victoria Washington: He's going to teach us. He's going to put people with us. He's going to partner us and position us and give us strategy. So I wrestled a lot with that, because that's very different than what you're going to hear in the self-development in the new age, which is you? Be God.

64
00:10:11.580 --> 00:10:12.450
Dr. Kayla Lucas: You manifest.

65
00:10:12.450 --> 00:10:26.199
Victoria Washington: You. You manifest it, you do it. You don't need that. So there is a submission that I had to come to terms with, and that took place over about a year, and as slowly and slowly and slowly and slowly my heart's off my heart.

66
00:10:26.800 --> 00:10:29.070
Victoria Washington: and my life was changing before my eyes.

67
00:10:29.100 --> 00:10:50.530
Victoria Washington: and Gus showed me the house of we. I rebelled against that vision, like many of us do when we get the actual assignment, and I presented it as a online course, because I was like, I don't know how to start a membership. I don't know this big. It felt too intimidating to me. So I did it as a course, and nobody signed up. So I'm bringing this new work to life around the body and wealth, and

68
00:10:50.740 --> 00:11:05.259
Victoria Washington: what the revelation that God gave me, and nobody got it at the time. This was 3 and a half years ago. Nobody in the industry was talking about the nervous system. And all this stuff that we see about regulation is very new. It's now trending. But it was like.

69
00:11:05.450 --> 00:11:13.200
Victoria Washington: What are you talking about? 3 and a half years ago, and I had, like 2 people sign up. So I ended up doing a private exchange with them.

70
00:11:13.450 --> 00:11:18.679
Victoria Washington: And then that summer it was very clear that I was going to start the membership, so I reached out to

71
00:11:19.040 --> 00:11:29.799
Victoria Washington: my assistant at the time was now my business manager, and I said, you know, do you want to help me with this? Like we're going to build a community? I have no idea where this is going, but I just feel like

72
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:53.360
Victoria Washington: this is, there's. This is what God is asking me to do. And I want more people to understand that their financial intelligence is directly connected to their body's intelligence, and that God is not actually separate from their relationship with money, that God is the whole point, and we have a whole generation of people chasing money and trying to ritualize and idolize money when that's not even how we're supposed to be

73
00:11:53.380 --> 00:11:54.810
Victoria Washington: resource with it.

74
00:11:54.890 --> 00:12:03.060
Victoria Washington: And she's like, yeah, I was like, Okay, cool. And so we opened up the doors, and within 48 h 100 people joined.

75
00:12:03.350 --> 00:12:07.140
Victoria Washington: and this was my business had never done a volume like that.

76
00:12:07.210 --> 00:12:07.885
Victoria Washington: and

77
00:12:09.520 --> 00:12:12.419
Victoria Washington: 3 and a half years later, 8,000 people later.

78
00:12:12.660 --> 00:12:14.690
Victoria Washington: 8,000 lineages, later

79
00:12:14.870 --> 00:12:16.779
Victoria Washington: 44 countries later.

80
00:12:17.340 --> 00:12:19.530
Victoria Washington: we have the house of both embodiment, and it's

81
00:12:20.090 --> 00:12:34.999
Victoria Washington: gone through so many renovations. But God's Hannah has always felt on it, and I've always been guided to not leave God out of the conversation there. So while yes, I trigger some people there's been more people than I can count or ever count that have come to me and said.

82
00:12:35.150 --> 00:12:41.289
Victoria Washington: yes, I came here because I wanted to learn how to manage money, and I wanted to be in a healthier relationship with it and be at more peace.

83
00:12:41.330 --> 00:13:00.829
Victoria Washington: But I'm walking away, knowing God and feeling like God knows me, and I just thank you, and I'm like, Don't thank me like that's just the beauty of our Creator, and how he reaches people and utilizes people, and never wanted people to remember my name, and never wanted people to walk into the house, and, you know, feel like they're gonna manifest it on 5 seconds.

84
00:13:00.830 --> 00:13:13.479
Victoria Washington: I wanted them to know the Lord and to know the love of God 1st before the love of money, because the love of money, the Bible says, will leave a grief in your heart, it will empty you to nothing

85
00:13:13.670 --> 00:13:15.880
Victoria Washington: in. In a not good way

86
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:29.379
Victoria Washington: it's and that's what so many people are caring within them. Is this lust for money? So when we go in there, we break that. And then we do all this other work. And there's so many celebrations and so much success that happens, of course, but it's success that you can keep.

87
00:13:29.710 --> 00:13:43.049
Victoria Washington: It's success that you can sustain. It's success that doesn't crush you because you've built a foundation of faith which is going to be necessary. If you're truly going to live this life of

88
00:13:43.060 --> 00:13:54.120
Victoria Washington: stewardship and bringing your gifts to the world, you know money comes with responsibility, which I'm sure we're going to get into, and that's what is missing from the conversation. There's

89
00:13:54.280 --> 00:14:02.929
Victoria Washington: no resistance between you and money. There's resistance between you and responsibility. So when you come into the house. We address that.

90
00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:04.289
Victoria Washington: and you widen

91
00:14:04.670 --> 00:14:05.820
Victoria Washington: you open.

92
00:14:06.340 --> 00:14:08.130
Victoria Washington: and it's just beautiful.

93
00:14:08.130 --> 00:14:24.390
Dr. Kayla Lucas: It's such a deeper conversation. And when you said earlier how you really didn't have a religious background, I was on the opposite end of that like raised in a super religious family, and I believe that the Church, although, can be good when it is ran by

94
00:14:24.690 --> 00:14:33.979
Dr. Kayla Lucas: men and people, it can be tainted, and there's a lot of indoctrination. And I left feeling like when I moved out of my parents house I just left feeling like

95
00:14:34.020 --> 00:14:49.489
Dr. Kayla Lucas: I don't even know who God is, because the God that I've been taught about is punitive is conditional, and everything is a sin. And so through that journey I kinda got off track with God of like, okay in the development of who I am and and always still being tapped in.

96
00:14:49.490 --> 00:15:14.300
Dr. Kayla Lucas: but never feeling like you have that connectedness and that confidence, and that certainty that there is a spiritual power working within you. And when I started to look at your work because money was a big wound in my house and a big wound in my lineage, and I know I've I've been doing some of your trainings and just really unpacking the covenants that we're keeping, whether that's the covenant of alcoholism or the covenant of doubt and scarcity.

97
00:15:14.560 --> 00:15:38.419
Dr. Kayla Lucas: And some of these things that you discussed, and it became really apparent to me that holy smokes the wound of money, and the wound of God actually is so tied together, and how that actually translates into the daily habits the beliefs, the things that you're doing in your life. And I know that many people, regardless of where they're at on their spiritual journey, regardless of how wide or how deep it is.

98
00:15:38.440 --> 00:16:00.079
Dr. Kayla Lucas: There is this sensation that yes, I can do it all by myself, and I think I'm at 34, with 2 children, a 7 and a 5 year old that I wanna model good behavior and good moral code to is realizing, like holy. You know what like. This is actually not the way that God intended the teachings to be, but actually like

99
00:16:00.100 --> 00:16:13.450
Dr. Kayla Lucas: you said something in your teaching that literally just like stuck out at me like this was my message to receive. It says, if you know who God is, you know how God works, and I want you to just unpack that for a minute. Victoria.

100
00:16:14.540 --> 00:16:16.460
Victoria Washington: Well, first, st I'll say.

101
00:16:16.540 --> 00:16:21.890
Victoria Washington: when you mentioned the wound of money and the wound of God. I just want to course, correct that, because

102
00:16:22.750 --> 00:16:26.140
Victoria Washington: the. It's not the wound of God. It's the wound of man.

103
00:16:26.460 --> 00:16:29.430
Victoria Washington: And I don't mean like mail, because we can't just

104
00:16:29.510 --> 00:16:33.839
Victoria Washington: project all the way onto that. It's it's the wound of humanity.

105
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:34.490
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Yeah.

106
00:16:34.490 --> 00:16:48.199
Victoria Washington: You know, and then when we associate that with God, then we run from God. But if I was the enemy, and I was trying to convince all the children of God to be like. Don't go over there. The 1st place that would go is the church.

107
00:16:49.010 --> 00:16:54.379
Victoria Washington: The 1st thing I would go after is the word. The 1st thing that I would do is you know what I mean? So

108
00:16:54.680 --> 00:16:57.069
Victoria Washington: that is a story I've heard

109
00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:59.080
Victoria Washington: so many times, and I

110
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:06.180
Victoria Washington: I hate that. I want that to be different. And so the fact that you have felt any sort of restoration

111
00:17:06.670 --> 00:17:13.560
Victoria Washington: through my testimony, or just the way that I've spoken about God. You know, I just. I just thank Jesus like that's

112
00:17:13.800 --> 00:17:16.400
Victoria Washington: that's the beauty of the Holy Spirit.

113
00:17:16.589 --> 00:17:23.720
Victoria Washington: He'll always find you. He never leaves you. That's the beauty of the new covenant that we're in. Okay. So I just wanted to mention that. But

114
00:17:24.089 --> 00:17:28.069
Victoria Washington: when I was moving from new age into

115
00:17:29.100 --> 00:17:39.150
Victoria Washington: my relationship with God, and just what I mean by that is letting go of any idols in my life, no longer replacing the Creator with a creation

116
00:17:39.180 --> 00:17:50.430
Victoria Washington: no longer finding my identity in astrology, no longer finding my identity and human design no, but no longer finding my identity in the world, but my identity being in Christ and finding freedom through that

117
00:17:50.930 --> 00:17:54.000
Victoria Washington: there was a clear moment of

118
00:17:54.840 --> 00:17:55.990
Victoria Washington: one

119
00:17:56.050 --> 00:18:12.560
Victoria Washington: wrestling which we're all going to do in that path, because you have questions into a lack of trust, like I was constantly confronted with, where? I don't trust God, where I don't trust God with this part of my life, or where I don't trust God with this part of my my business or my finances.

120
00:18:12.590 --> 00:18:21.539
Victoria Washington: and I heard very clearly the Holy Spirit say, when you know who I am like, really know who I am. You're going to understand how I work.

121
00:18:21.580 --> 00:18:29.720
Victoria Washington: but you don't know who I am. You haven't spent enough time with me. You're not spending intimate time with me. So what does that look like for me. It means reading the word.

122
00:18:30.420 --> 00:18:46.089
Victoria Washington: not having someone else read the word to you every Sunday, not having a family. Tell you what the word is, but you personally carving out time to read the word, and before you read it praying, Holy Spirit reach me! God, I'm open to you. I want to know you

123
00:18:46.750 --> 00:19:09.659
Victoria Washington: understand who you are. I wanna understand how you work, how you love, how you serve, how you shape, how you move, how you breathe through me. I wanna feel that I feel I feel like it's there. I see other people have it. But I'm convincing myself, and I'm letting the enemy convince me that I can't have it. And so I wanna understand that. And when I started to pray into that while I was reading the word, I'm telling you like the word lives.

124
00:19:09.660 --> 00:19:21.270
Victoria Washington: It's not like you're reading a book from the past. You're reading a living manuscript, a living word that starts to poke at you that starts to do things inside of you.

125
00:19:21.470 --> 00:19:25.270
Victoria Washington: And what gets uncomfortable is that throughout the word.

126
00:19:25.590 --> 00:19:30.590
Victoria Washington: And you've seen this in so many testimonies, God never promises convenience.

127
00:19:31.820 --> 00:19:33.820
Victoria Washington: He never promises certainty.

128
00:19:34.350 --> 00:19:36.139
Victoria Washington: But our faith does.

129
00:19:36.370 --> 00:19:45.350
Victoria Washington: So where people run into a little bit of an issue is, they're like, Okay, I'm reading the word. I'm understanding how who God is, and God's pretty inconvenient.

130
00:19:46.695 --> 00:19:47.170
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Something.

131
00:19:47.170 --> 00:19:48.096
Victoria Washington: That I?

132
00:19:49.320 --> 00:20:03.439
Victoria Washington: yeah, I'm attached to that. I don't want to stop drinking. I love to party. I love to dress like that. I love to use my body that way. I like to treat that this way, like those are things that I like, and so when we're not

133
00:20:03.810 --> 00:20:11.559
Victoria Washington: humble enough to understand that God's ways are above our ways. We're talking about the Creator of the of

134
00:20:11.580 --> 00:20:17.489
Victoria Washington: of the heavens and the earth. We're talking about a Creator, who everything we see was created in 6 days.

135
00:20:18.300 --> 00:20:30.050
Victoria Washington: Tell me that God's ways are not above your ways like, why, why would your way and your way of thinking and your way of living be more than the holiest one like than the one.

136
00:20:30.210 --> 00:20:40.759
Victoria Washington: And when we start to be humble enough in our humanity to see that we recognize that we actually need God, that we are limited beings. We're limited creations.

137
00:20:40.800 --> 00:20:48.210
Victoria Washington: And I started to understand, okay. So now that I know who God is like, God is an all-loving.

138
00:20:48.910 --> 00:20:50.450
Victoria Washington: omnipresent.

139
00:20:51.740 --> 00:20:54.020
Victoria Washington: I I don't. I don't have words for it just.

140
00:20:54.020 --> 00:20:54.620
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Yep.

141
00:20:54.910 --> 00:20:56.770
Victoria Washington: The love of my heart.

142
00:20:57.220 --> 00:21:03.039
Victoria Washington: how he works is. He's going to move me for his will and for his glory.

143
00:21:03.100 --> 00:21:21.660
Victoria Washington: which means I'm gonna have to confront every part of me that wants to be in charge that wants to be the one that moves it, that has to do it themselves that is attached to these worldly things. And that is our relationship. That's our process. It doesn't just happen overnight where you snap your fingers. And then.

144
00:21:22.250 --> 00:21:37.079
Victoria Washington: okay. I'm gonna follow everything that God says. God already knows you're gonna resist. You're going to have these moments. And so how God works is. He will deliver people. We see stories of that in the word. What did what did he do with Moses? Here's your brother.

145
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:43.810
Victoria Washington: Here's a brother that's going to walk with you. What did he do for the Israelites? He created a path out of the wilderness.

146
00:21:44.010 --> 00:21:46.340
Victoria Washington: What did he do? He parted the C.

147
00:21:46.630 --> 00:21:50.019
Victoria Washington: He went ahead of them as a dust.

148
00:21:50.140 --> 00:21:59.700
Victoria Washington: He created water out of wine like when you read the word, you see how God works. Oh, that's how he works. He delivers miracles. He

149
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:06.160
Victoria Washington: he saves, he moves, he changes things. So that's what I mean by that.

150
00:22:06.840 --> 00:22:11.270
Victoria Washington: And for some people, what I'm saying is gonna create a lot of anger in them.

151
00:22:11.270 --> 00:22:11.710
Dr. Kayla Lucas: M-

152
00:22:11.710 --> 00:22:20.010
Victoria Washington: For some people they're going to feel relief. And for some people they're going to feel curious. So whatever you're experiencing in your body just know that

153
00:22:20.100 --> 00:22:25.719
Victoria Washington: that's a reflection of your relationship with submission and authority.

154
00:22:26.610 --> 00:22:30.440
Victoria Washington: And we, as humans, naturally

155
00:22:31.500 --> 00:22:33.060
Victoria Washington: want to

156
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:38.109
Victoria Washington: be in charge of everything, even though we are not qualified to be.

157
00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:40.189
Victoria Washington: And we don't want to admit that.

158
00:22:40.410 --> 00:22:51.930
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Yeah, I think you're so right. I think it actually answering to a higher calling or a higher version of power and autonomy requires you to really understand.

159
00:22:51.950 --> 00:23:18.970
Dr. Kayla Lucas: not your smallness, but your own greatness, and how you could be utilized for the greater good of humanity, and I think that people in general like, if you, if you ask most people like, would you want more worldly peace? Would you want to feel more fulfilled in your life? Would you want to have more passion and purpose? Most people would say, resounding, yes, but I think the challenging part that comes in is the work and the responsibility. And I kinda wanna talk about that a little bit like

160
00:23:18.970 --> 00:23:26.720
Dr. Kayla Lucas: in the realm of asking for a big life and what that means for your level of responsibility.

161
00:23:26.730 --> 00:23:31.569
Dr. Kayla Lucas: I know that you've taught this a lot in the house of We, and this is a continuation of your of your work.

162
00:23:31.590 --> 00:23:41.010
Dr. Kayla Lucas: But why is responsibility generally the resistance to either where we want to get to financially or just where we want to get to. As a person.

163
00:23:42.100 --> 00:24:03.609
Victoria Washington: Because Mo. Many of us grew up in a household where we were responsible for more than we should have been early on, or we've walked a path that we had no business walking, but that's just that was the circumstance at the time. And so you put a person who's had to bear more than they felt ready, for they felt like they could.

164
00:24:03.850 --> 00:24:06.189
Victoria Washington: And then you fast forward. 20 years!

165
00:24:06.900 --> 00:24:26.449
Victoria Washington: There's bound to be a rebellion of I don't sleep me long. I don't wanna do that. I don't wanna be responsible for anything. I don't. Wanna. I I've already put in my hours of responsibility and it hurt. And so we start to have this cross wiring of responsibility equals pressure. It equals contraction. And

166
00:24:26.540 --> 00:24:28.709
Victoria Washington: then you put money in the mix.

167
00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:49.799
Victoria Washington: Money doesn't require all these tips and tricks and magnetisms and attractions. It requires a responsible steward, and when you are in the the realm of survival, like your nervous system is in survival mode, or you're pushing away responsibility or feeling like you're under pressure. You can't make money making decisions

168
00:24:50.080 --> 00:24:54.059
Victoria Washington: and your decision making will mirror your money-making skills.

169
00:24:54.900 --> 00:24:59.979
Victoria Washington: your decision making skills will mirror your money making skills. So when I'm

170
00:25:00.210 --> 00:25:04.199
Victoria Washington: not fully accepting responsibility.

171
00:25:04.490 --> 00:25:07.030
Victoria Washington: And I'm feeling like this is too much.

172
00:25:07.120 --> 00:25:09.330
Victoria Washington: I'm going to make different decisions.

173
00:25:09.420 --> 00:25:18.000
Victoria Washington: Then somebody who looks at responsibility as an honor that feels expanded by the responsibility that doesn't subscribe to pressure. I'm going to make

174
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:33.079
Victoria Washington: 1 million dollar decisions, $1,000 decisions, hundreds and thousands of dollars decisions. Do you see the difference? So I'm not here to teach you how to pull money out of thin air. I'm here to show you that there's a character that must be developed

175
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:37.270
Victoria Washington: that was did never have the chance to be developed as a child

176
00:25:37.600 --> 00:25:47.899
Victoria Washington: that, like we missed that step. There wasn't like any. Okay, we're gonna start to slowly drip responsibility to you. Are you ready? No, for most people. It was like, we're moving. Let's go.

177
00:25:48.300 --> 00:25:49.939
Victoria Washington: We're getting divorced. Let's go.

178
00:25:50.330 --> 00:25:57.959
Victoria Washington: They're gone. Figure it out like, that's what most people heard. And then they're like, okay, let me adjust to that.

179
00:25:58.539 --> 00:26:22.690
Victoria Washington: And now let me carry the weight of that. So when I'm working with a client, or if you've been in the house. We break that down very deeply, and we start to change and and shift the way you're looking at responsibility and the way that you're holding your current responsibilities. So you go from pushing that away to actually welcoming more of that. And then money becomes safe with you because you feel safe with you.

180
00:26:22.989 --> 00:26:37.939
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Yeah, I love that so much. And what came to mind there was that when you said, like the body, like, I think that your your body has so much wisdom, and how you said like we weren't talking about the nervous system stuff. This is very new age.

181
00:26:38.120 --> 00:27:03.110
Dr. Kayla Lucas: but your conversation that you had. I I took your training in January, and one of the biggest takeaways was body leads, mind follows, and all the time my pull is to let my mind go go, go, go. And I think this is probably a a really big component for many people is that we want our minds to kind of figure it all out, and and and reach for more, and find the next thing, and do that next. You know, whatever it might be

182
00:27:03.150 --> 00:27:26.499
Dr. Kayla Lucas: that we really forget to tap into our body, and I know that a big part of the house of we, the house of wealth embodiment, takes you through money mapping in your own nervous system, and even if we don't go through a money mapping, I just want you to describe what money mapping is in the body, so that people have an awareness of what that actually means, and how that can start to direct.

183
00:27:26.690 --> 00:27:39.020
Dr. Kayla Lucas: how you pursue your career, how you pursue your relationships, your money relationships, your personal, your professional things, like all of that kind of getting enveloped inside of obviously the Word of God, too.

184
00:27:39.600 --> 00:27:45.679
Victoria Washington: So money mapping is the practice of experimenting with different sensations.

185
00:27:45.900 --> 00:27:51.949
Victoria Washington: If you're listening right now, and you're a notetaker, I want you to write down that more money equals more sensation.

186
00:27:52.120 --> 00:28:00.240
Victoria Washington: and if you think about it, the sensation of receiving $5,000 is drastically different than the sensation of receiving $100,000.

187
00:28:00.250 --> 00:28:10.180
Victoria Washington: So different amounts of money come with different layers of sensation. So more money is not a problem unless sensation is a problem for you.

188
00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:18.110
Victoria Washington: and what I've noticed across the 8,000 people that I've worked with, how much I've studied this. I've watched thousands of bodies at this point.

189
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:21.639
Victoria Washington: People have a low capacity for sensation intention.

190
00:28:21.740 --> 00:28:27.980
Victoria Washington: And when you're making a lot of money, people think like, Okay, that's when I'm going to be free. That's when I'm going to be at peace.

191
00:28:29.420 --> 00:28:53.109
Victoria Washington: there's so much sensation making decisions to transfer 50 K making decisions to what to invest in, how to do this taxes. There's a lot of sensation that comes with now being responsible for bigger money decisions that most people are just simply resistant to the baseline sensation that we can usually handle is like a little bit of receptivity, sometimes compliment here or there.

192
00:28:53.450 --> 00:28:55.220
Victoria Washington: Most of us are living now.

193
00:28:55.300 --> 00:29:12.770
Victoria Washington: so money mapping wakes up the sensations within the body, and rather than sit there and say, like, Okay, I'm going to manifest $10,000, or I want to set a goal for this amount of money we look at. Okay, what's the sensation? And what if we exposed your nervous system to that sensation?

194
00:29:12.770 --> 00:29:38.299
Victoria Washington: So you actually widened and opened to that. And then you're making decisions with the now familiarity of that sensation which byproduct I've seen. Wow! I just made a sale. Oh, my gosh! Had my highest month. I'm like, I'm not surprised, because now you're more comfortable with sensation. You know how to hold more tension. You know how to hold more responsibility. So a bigger client, a bigger paycheck, a bigger income no longer threatens you.

195
00:29:38.300 --> 00:29:59.659
Victoria Washington: So we use a a blend of sound. We use a blend of our own voices, because God says, when we speak, things happen like there's something physically that happens when we speak. Our voice is very, very, very, very important and familiarizing your body with your own voice is essential because your voice is a currency.

196
00:29:59.820 --> 00:30:10.459
Victoria Washington: it has its own currency, and it can bring things into form. So when we're speaking, we're not just saying affirmations like I am. I am. I am. That's self.

197
00:30:10.490 --> 00:30:25.510
Victoria Washington: We are speaking and praying into the development of our character. It's not God I'm I like, help me make more money. Help me do more. This. It's God develop my character, such that I am responsible for more resources in this lifetime.

198
00:30:26.020 --> 00:30:37.129
Victoria Washington: My character is either ready for it or it's not. And so the words I choose and the the things that I have us say, are moving in that direction.

199
00:30:37.410 --> 00:30:42.089
Victoria Washington: and then, by the end of it, you feel this heightened sense of

200
00:30:43.490 --> 00:30:48.959
Victoria Washington: I can't really describe it. You've done it before. It's almost impossible to describe. You just feel wider, you feel more open.

201
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.359
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Yeah, I think I think I would describe it as a

202
00:30:52.480 --> 00:31:16.849
Dr. Kayla Lucas: obviously higher awareness. But greater possibility, I think, is what it personally left me with of like, I put my own limitations on myself, and maybe not just from an income perspective, but just limitations. And what I think is possible, and what I think is going to be received. Well, cause I think, that especially for women, we really have a challenging time to not give

203
00:31:16.850 --> 00:31:26.550
Dr. Kayla Lucas: a hell what anybody thinks of us. Right? You said some of my stuff is triggering. People are gonna feel curious. They're gonna feel mad. They're gonna feel relieved. I think it's like this concept, too, that

204
00:31:26.550 --> 00:31:46.449
Dr. Kayla Lucas: the money mapping side of it, and just actually feeling the sensations of your body is not taught to us as children, and if it is, you're just one of those lucky few whose parents were probably hippies and just knew lots of stuff right? But for most of us we were really, we're really kind of told and and demonstrated to suppress.

205
00:31:46.450 --> 00:32:09.739
Dr. Kayla Lucas: and I see it so much as a chiropractor is like the suppression of our emotions and our fears, and the things that we either want or don't want, they start to manifest physically, and if we are, don't have a physical attunement to our bodies. This is what we call it in our practice. We call people neck down, dead, like they're just. They're walking around, and they're not necessarily like available for what is wanting to come into their life. They're not

206
00:32:09.740 --> 00:32:30.258
Dr. Kayla Lucas: able to make those decisions like you said they're just. They're not. They're not on. They're not attuned to themselves. So I've really appreciated the money mapping because I felt like it has been something that's been so wildly out of my comfort zone, and so wildly outside of anything I've ever been taught. But it left me with this sensation of possibility and actual truth. Right? So

207
00:32:30.560 --> 00:32:52.830
Dr. Kayla Lucas: I'm so glad that you touched on that one of the one of the ways that I actually ended up getting a little bit more involved in your world. Victoria was through your wealth archetypes, and many people are gonna wanna know what those 2 terms mean. So please talk about your 3 wealth archetypes. And if people wanna know more about how they are already stewarding money or not stewarding money, and what that means.

208
00:32:53.780 --> 00:33:14.770
Victoria Washington: So what we do in the house of we is, yes, we work with the body, and we prioritize the body because the body's intelligence, like, I said, will lead to our financial intelligence because the body plays a huge role in our decision making, which is essential for our relationship with money. And when I was studying and bringing this work to life.

209
00:33:14.770 --> 00:33:34.469
Victoria Washington: these archetypes came through that started to present themselves in humanity. And this is based off of attachment style theory, which is really well known. So I'll go over the archetypes and I'll go over the attachment styles that are connected to each. So essentially or actually, I'll flip that I'll start with the attachment styles, and then we'll connect those to the wealth archetypes.

210
00:33:34.580 --> 00:33:52.469
Victoria Washington: So there's 3 attachment styles with money, and we have all 3 of these existing within us. The goal is not to heal all 3 of these. The goal is to learn how to mature all 3 of these. So architect, the attachment style number one is the spender which

211
00:33:52.470 --> 00:34:15.390
Victoria Washington: 90% of people are going to resonate with. This is somebody who is not actually afraid of money, but they're afraid of having money. They're afraid of the responsibility of money. So they spend because that feels more comfortable than keeping it. They're usually the person that is very much so living in bare minimum behavior, and they have a rebellion to money. They don't wanna need it.

212
00:34:15.389 --> 00:34:42.050
Victoria Washington: But then they have these things that they wanna receive through it. So they become users of money, and they have all these needs, and they get their safety, and they get their their charm and their looks, and they get all these things fulfilled by using money. But it doesn't actually land as an integrated feeling or sense. So most of my spenders, their biggest breakthrough is not necessarily spending less. It's learning how to become responsible for more.

213
00:34:42.100 --> 00:35:07.119
Victoria Washington: It's having a larger vision that is bigger than just themselves, and once they do that, they elevate and mature into their wealth archetype, which is the holy circulator. And there's somebody who doesn't use money for their own sense of safety. They circulate money through the economy and life, giving ways. So holy circulators are my favorite, because they actually bring the economy to life.

214
00:35:07.190 --> 00:35:09.850
Victoria Washington: If everybody on the planet stops spending.

215
00:35:10.290 --> 00:35:17.929
Victoria Washington: the economy would die like we need to circulate money. But the goal of the spender to the holy Circulator is.

216
00:35:18.340 --> 00:35:41.830
Victoria Washington: I'm no longer spending. I'm investing and circulating. So there's actual fruit. There's actual life. There's things that are produced. There's results. There's integrity, there's responsibility there. So the spender has to resolve any shame. The fear that they're gonna be judged. They have to forgive themselves for being irresponsible stewards in the past.

217
00:35:42.270 --> 00:36:03.490
Victoria Washington: I file bankruptcy. I was a spender. So me now I've never been somebody that's going to be like I'm gonna get a house and settle down. That's not healing your relationship with money. That's just slapping something on top of it. My wealth archetype is the holy circulator. I'm always gonna wanna move. And I want money to move with me. I'm always gonna circulate in these new and fresh life giving ways.

218
00:36:03.550 --> 00:36:19.779
Victoria Washington: We laugh with my bookkeeper all the time, because she's the second attachment style. She's the hoarder, and the hoarder is actually the holy stabilizer. So her decision making is completely different than mine. I'll buy a 1st class ticket, and you know

219
00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:22.060
Victoria Washington: huge dinner for my family.

220
00:36:22.090 --> 00:36:24.089
Victoria Washington: Meanwhile, she's like

221
00:36:24.180 --> 00:36:28.440
Victoria Washington: I'm buying a property in the middle of the desert, and we're going to build.

222
00:36:28.670 --> 00:36:33.990
Victoria Washington: That's just like it's 2. Both are beautiful, both express in different ways.

223
00:36:34.030 --> 00:36:39.939
Victoria Washington: but they have different decision-making. So the holy Circulator when they can do those things

224
00:36:39.950 --> 00:36:55.059
Victoria Washington: from a place of wholeness and from a state of care and responsibility. They don't feel shame for those anymore. They know that they are investing. They are circulating money in these life, giving ways, and they have to have a bigger financial vision.

225
00:36:55.180 --> 00:37:00.130
Victoria Washington: The second one is, the hoarder will go to that direction because we were just there. The hoarder is somebody that

226
00:37:00.220 --> 00:37:12.409
Victoria Washington: typically grew up in a household where money was either there, or it wasn't, and they didn't know when that was going to be. So I personally grew up in a household where

227
00:37:12.420 --> 00:37:16.290
Victoria Washington: some days it was like I could ask for anything, and they'd be like, Yeah, grab it

228
00:37:16.710 --> 00:37:18.830
Victoria Washington: the next day. We don't have money.

229
00:37:19.210 --> 00:37:20.090
Dr. Kayla Lucas: One.

230
00:37:20.380 --> 00:37:48.510
Victoria Washington: Oh, now we're moving, or we're going to this. At 1 point we're in a women's shelter. I was like, how do we get here we were in a house just now. So there is this inconsistency. And I decided the problem was money, and so I don't want anything to do with that, but I know that I need it. So when it's here, I'm going to hoard it because it could be the last that I see it. So most quarters are like, I'm going to not build a bank account. I'm gonna build a prison for my money. I don't want to touch it. Nobody look at it.

231
00:37:48.590 --> 00:37:56.290
Victoria Washington: don't even breathe on it because it could disappear. So they have this doom and this apocalyptic relationship with money that

232
00:37:56.550 --> 00:37:59.250
Victoria Washington: just hold some hostage. They don't feel safe.

233
00:37:59.290 --> 00:38:05.779
Victoria Washington: So when they mature into the holy stabilizer, they recognize that money is safe with them because

234
00:38:06.750 --> 00:38:23.169
Victoria Washington: we're safe with them, and that money could never be their source of providership and safety, that they have to find that within themselves, and they have to be in relationship with money through the lens of it's safe for it to move. It's safe for it to multiply.

235
00:38:23.170 --> 00:38:43.399
Victoria Washington: It's safer it to be bigger, and that it's going to change. So they start to let go of their attachment, of needing to know every single little thing, and they start to have more freedom and peace in their relationship with money, they start to treat themselves and diversify their investments, and allow money to breathe, because they can now breathe.

236
00:38:44.170 --> 00:38:51.289
Victoria Washington: Then the last one is the second most popular, which is the avoider. The avoider is somebody that

237
00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:58.770
Victoria Washington: it's like dating that guy. That would be such a good boyfriend. But they're just too afraid to text you back.

238
00:38:58.860 --> 00:39:11.590
Victoria Washington: It's like, you see, all the potential. But they just don't know how to pick up the phone and do the thing with their fingers where they text you back. And they say, like, I want a relationship. I want a relationship. But within a week they're just like I can't handle this

239
00:39:11.620 --> 00:39:17.160
Victoria Washington: they avoid, and they're deeply, deeply afraid of intimacy and exposure.

240
00:39:17.330 --> 00:39:21.729
Victoria Washington: And one thing that money does is it exposes you, and it's very intimate.

241
00:39:21.780 --> 00:39:29.969
Victoria Washington: So they push it away. They act like finances don't exist. Most of them are too cool for money. They're too cool to care.

242
00:39:30.110 --> 00:39:34.279
Victoria Washington: and they're also broke. And so they mature into.

243
00:39:34.713 --> 00:39:50.690
Victoria Washington: or they have a lot of money. But they don't steward it responsibly, because they're in and out with their relationship with money. 1 min they're obsessed with their bank account the next minute they're like, Oh, yeah, I have a bank account. Money just happens to be there. They kind of live like that. So when they mature into the financial, catalyst

244
00:39:51.210 --> 00:39:55.800
Victoria Washington: avoiders are my favorite, because they literally are here to change the world like they

245
00:39:55.830 --> 00:40:10.219
Victoria Washington: will make some of the most powerful money moves on the planet. They're catalyzers when it's it's the same analogy of seeing that same person who is afraid of that relationship. What a gift it is to watch their heart open. They're like

246
00:40:10.570 --> 00:40:20.179
Victoria Washington: they're just the best. It's like, wow! I always knew you could love like this, and it's the best to see them finally arrive same thing when they mature into a financial catalyst.

247
00:40:20.370 --> 00:40:32.390
Victoria Washington: The things they do with money are so giving. They build relationships. They pave paths for other people. They're no longer afraid of being seen. They're visible in the world, and they allow

248
00:40:32.500 --> 00:40:37.519
Victoria Washington: all, like all these communities, to surround them and benefit from their great work.

249
00:40:37.630 --> 00:40:42.900
Victoria Washington: and they finally feel fulfilled because they're no longer afraid of being in relationships.

250
00:40:42.950 --> 00:40:49.930
Victoria Washington: and they recognize that their money is truly only as prosperous as their relationships are.

251
00:40:50.100 --> 00:40:55.560
Victoria Washington: So the focus goes from, how am I going to make more money to? How am I going to build with more people?

252
00:40:55.860 --> 00:41:00.499
Victoria Washington: And it's a completely different narrative that they create for their lineage and for themselves.

253
00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:11.139
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Oh, that's such deep work. And if people are a little bit more curious about those archetypes, you can definitely take the quiz on Victoria's website. We'll leave all that information in the show notes

254
00:41:11.320 --> 00:41:16.180
Dr. Kayla Lucas: I as you're going through them, I'm like, Oh, that's my dad. That's my mom.

255
00:41:16.180 --> 00:41:16.730
Victoria Washington: Yeah.

256
00:41:16.730 --> 00:41:28.619
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Right? You like, actually recognize those patterns. So yeah, you do. I. I know that you're you're very well versed in in changing the money lineage.

257
00:41:28.750 --> 00:41:40.999
Dr. Kayla Lucas: but, like what does healing your own trauma and your own wounds with money, do for the people your legacy, but also your lineage.

258
00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:45.430
Victoria Washington: When I was in the process of

259
00:41:48.280 --> 00:41:53.709
Victoria Washington: what's the word I want to use? It's not quite healing. But I was in a big discovery process of

260
00:41:53.800 --> 00:41:57.040
Victoria Washington: so recognizing that I had a lot of hangups with money.

261
00:41:57.070 --> 00:42:03.779
Victoria Washington: and of course, like many people, I went straight to mindset because I thought if I could change my thoughts, then I would change my behavior.

262
00:42:03.790 --> 00:42:25.450
Victoria Washington: and nothing was working for me. I was getting very, very frustrated, and I kept investing in these things, and like nothing, was actually penetrating. What I felt was wasn't really even mine, and I remember sitting in my living room, I was watching another like money subconscious training. And at this point I'm learning about like quantum science subconscious. I'm like, how did I get here? I just need cash.

263
00:42:25.797 --> 00:42:31.029
Victoria Washington: How do we get like just what's going on? But I'm doing the things that you know. I think I need to do.

264
00:42:31.060 --> 00:42:43.989
Victoria Washington: and I slam the laptop, and I'm like, I don't know what that is like. I'm just over this. If I could get up and just rip this scarcity off, that's what I would do it felt like an itchy sweater stuck to my skin.

265
00:42:44.340 --> 00:42:48.770
Victoria Washington: and that's what I did. I I got up in my living room, my little small

266
00:42:48.970 --> 00:42:55.069
Victoria Washington: apartment that I barely paid for. It was like this pride and joy that I got this apartment after bankruptcy.

267
00:42:55.240 --> 00:42:57.010
Victoria Washington: and I'm ripping off

268
00:42:57.430 --> 00:43:05.629
Victoria Washington: with my hands physically. All the scarcity. I'm just like just moving it. And all of a sudden I get a flash of my grandmother's hands.

269
00:43:06.510 --> 00:43:07.460
Victoria Washington: and

270
00:43:08.080 --> 00:43:10.800
Victoria Washington: I felt God revealing to me

271
00:43:11.270 --> 00:43:12.699
Victoria Washington: take my hand

272
00:43:13.220 --> 00:43:14.879
Victoria Washington: and let's finish this.

273
00:43:15.750 --> 00:43:18.579
Victoria Washington: And I realized in that moment that this scarcity

274
00:43:18.730 --> 00:43:20.150
Victoria Washington: it isn't mine.

275
00:43:20.480 --> 00:43:20.830
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Has.

276
00:43:20.830 --> 00:43:21.949
Victoria Washington: Down to me, though.

277
00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:27.170
Victoria Washington: and I started to recall patterns like, we're talking about these different covenants

278
00:43:27.510 --> 00:43:46.479
Victoria Washington: in my lineage of agreements that people either made subconsciously or unconsciously, that was keeping them in the bondage of scarcity and the bondage of lack and the bondage of lust for certain things, or stepping out of integrity. You know it's not just the bondage of scarcity, but somebody who has alcoholism.

279
00:43:46.610 --> 00:43:48.680
Victoria Washington: You think they're making good money decisions.

280
00:43:50.490 --> 00:43:52.155
Victoria Washington: Somebody who has

281
00:43:52.930 --> 00:43:55.630
Victoria Washington: a history of men and their family cheating.

282
00:43:55.700 --> 00:44:20.809
Victoria Washington: You think there's integrity being passed down. All of those are required in a fruitful relationship with money and and stewardship. So we have to open up the conversation. It's not just about the cash. We don't just pass down houses and assets. We pass down sensations through our bloodline we pass down agreements that were made. We pass down different patterns and behaviors around

283
00:44:20.930 --> 00:44:23.150
Victoria Washington: these worldly things.

284
00:44:23.200 --> 00:44:34.500
Victoria Washington: and that changed my entire life. It changed my entire approach, and I no longer approached money through the mind. I approached it through the bloodline, because if it lives in your body.

285
00:44:34.600 --> 00:44:36.290
Victoria Washington: it exists in your bloodline.

286
00:44:36.610 --> 00:44:41.080
Victoria Washington: So we have to go to the root, and then, when you decide to

287
00:44:41.110 --> 00:44:45.530
Victoria Washington: break that covenant and remove it, or shift it, break the chain end it.

288
00:44:45.950 --> 00:44:54.490
Victoria Washington: Now you're opening up a new pathway for whoever's going to come after you. So when I do this work, I'm thinking about my sister.

289
00:44:54.550 --> 00:45:00.430
Victoria Washington: I'm thinking about my nephew. I'm thinking about the next generation. I'm not thinking about just me.

290
00:45:00.650 --> 00:45:04.390
Victoria Washington: and that provides this conviction and

291
00:45:04.690 --> 00:45:07.619
Victoria Washington: keeps me grounded in the process.

292
00:45:07.700 --> 00:45:09.810
Victoria Washington: and I also do believe

293
00:45:10.030 --> 00:45:14.190
Victoria Washington: that it's impossible to go into the past and heal things.

294
00:45:14.670 --> 00:45:20.510
Victoria Washington: I found this passage in the Bible that really spoke to this so deeply. I don't know if you were on the house, if we call.

295
00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:22.249
Victoria Washington: but it says.

296
00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:31.239
Victoria Washington: forget the former. Things do not dwell in the past. See, I am doing a new thing now it springs up. Do you not perceive it?

297
00:45:31.260 --> 00:45:35.749
Victoria Washington: A making away in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland?

298
00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:37.820
Victoria Washington: It's from Isaiah 43,

299
00:45:37.940 --> 00:45:39.940
Victoria Washington: and that's God saying.

300
00:45:39.950 --> 00:46:02.059
Victoria Washington: forget what happened you? I'm doing a new thing. Will you perceive it? I'm going to make a way in the wilderness, the wilderness of your past. I'm going to make streams in the wasteland, the wasteland all these different parts of ourself that we're ashamed of, that we think are too broken for God to use different parts of our lineage, different parts of our past. That's like, will you perceive it?

301
00:46:02.670 --> 00:46:05.139
Victoria Washington: Because, if you can perceive it, you'll pass it down.

302
00:46:05.320 --> 00:46:15.130
Victoria Washington: You're not going to heal it by going back and talking to all these people in the past. You're going to heal it by spending more time with me in the present, because in the present I will make you new.

303
00:46:15.230 --> 00:46:20.669
Victoria Washington: and from that newness I will build through you. That's what we're doing in the house of We.

304
00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:25.159
Victoria Washington: and the bloodline will feel it. I've watched it for the last 3 and a half years.

305
00:46:25.540 --> 00:46:42.230
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Yeah, I think I started to do this work in January, and you had. There was I think it was the 5 days of wealth embodiment, and it said, you had to dedicate this. Yeah, it was so good you had to dedicate this training to one person in your life immediately. Obviously someone very special comes came to my mind.

306
00:46:42.480 --> 00:46:44.183
Dr. Kayla Lucas: and it was so.

307
00:46:44.670 --> 00:46:51.479
Dr. Kayla Lucas: that so so many of the things that I think that belong to me actually don't.

308
00:46:51.480 --> 00:47:14.740
Dr. Kayla Lucas: And it also gave me this freedom in a sense of like, okay, this was that time. And now this is my time. And I think that that was like the beautiful point of it. And and really it is such a deeper why, why would I heal my money wounds? Why would I go back into my past? Why would I look at the traditions of my family that are maybe great and also harmful? Why would I do this work, because it's actually so hard

309
00:47:14.740 --> 00:47:27.389
Dr. Kayla Lucas: to sit with yourself and recognize your own agreements that you've made, that are actually potentially blocking you, harming you, or even just toxifying your future. And I think that that's kind of the

310
00:47:27.390 --> 00:47:54.329
Dr. Kayla Lucas: the big point of this conversation is really to get people to not buy in but buy into themselves like, what do you want for your life? How do you wanna feel? What do you wanna leave? And I think that that's why your your messaging is so so unique and so powerful because it really helps you develop your own character and transform your own life. So I love. I mean. I just love it all, Victoria, if you haven't gathered.

311
00:47:54.650 --> 00:47:59.869
Victoria Washington: I'm so grateful I feel I'm always blessed to be able to share this, and

312
00:48:00.190 --> 00:48:11.619
Victoria Washington: it's very, very good to know that so many people are in it, and the works gotten so much bigger. You know I can't individually speak with people. So when you say, you know, I found 5 days of we, and it shifted this like

313
00:48:11.710 --> 00:48:14.560
Victoria Washington: it's never, ever, ever lost on me.

314
00:48:14.610 --> 00:48:15.780
Victoria Washington: How

315
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:26.230
Victoria Washington: important and valuable it is that you have placed your trust in this work like I take it so seriously, and I take the trust to my heart because

316
00:48:26.480 --> 00:48:29.649
Victoria Washington: I never want to mishandle or mislead or

317
00:48:30.990 --> 00:48:39.879
Victoria Washington: steer somebody in the wrong way, so I always remind myself that the gravity of this is is huge, and I'm never going to quite see the end of it.

318
00:48:40.120 --> 00:48:46.469
Victoria Washington: So when you say that it's it's such a gift. It really is a moment of me, you know, grounding and being like Wow!

319
00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:49.190
Victoria Washington: It it is. It's doing its thing like.

320
00:48:49.190 --> 00:48:50.120
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Listening, 1,000.

321
00:48:50.120 --> 00:48:54.100
Victoria Washington: And and I'm so blessed to be a part of his plan in that.

322
00:48:54.350 --> 00:49:09.979
Dr. Kayla Lucas: So let's talk about the plan. Because I think for many people. How do you know if you're actually following God's plan? If people have an openness to that in their mind. I wanna follow a plan. Is this your will God versus their own plan, like, how do we know? How can we get grounded in really

323
00:49:10.140 --> 00:49:16.189
Dr. Kayla Lucas: understanding what is being asked of us, what we're being called into.

324
00:49:16.630 --> 00:49:19.750
Victoria Washington: That's a great question. I'm gonna give 3 options.

325
00:49:19.750 --> 00:49:20.550
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Okay.

326
00:49:21.770 --> 00:49:25.179
Victoria Washington: And all of them have difficulties. But there's varying difficulties.

327
00:49:26.530 --> 00:49:29.020
Victoria Washington: The 1st thing that I'll say is.

328
00:49:29.790 --> 00:49:33.680
Victoria Washington: God rarely reveals the full plan to the passenger

329
00:49:34.300 --> 00:49:41.010
Victoria Washington: that's never going to be a thing. So we have to let that go. God rarely ever reveals the full plan to the passenger.

330
00:49:41.050 --> 00:49:50.939
Victoria Washington: because if he did, you would not need him, and the purpose of your life is to be in relationship with him. So there's a benefit to depending on him.

331
00:49:51.380 --> 00:49:53.660
Victoria Washington: And there's things that will happen

332
00:49:53.800 --> 00:49:58.310
Victoria Washington: when you are doing it in God. That won't happen when you do it by yourself.

333
00:49:58.520 --> 00:50:07.359
Victoria Washington: So God's like, I'm going to give you parts of the plan, or I'll give you pieces of it. But I'm rarely going to give you the full thing because you crazy and you human. You go start driving his car.

334
00:50:07.360 --> 00:50:07.755
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Yeah.

335
00:50:08.150 --> 00:50:12.170
Victoria Washington: I'm needing to do is drive the car. So so there's that part.

336
00:50:12.390 --> 00:50:14.360
Victoria Washington: Now let's get into the options

337
00:50:14.900 --> 00:50:19.959
Victoria Washington: for anybody here. That is a believer. Maybe there's somebody listening that that knows the Gospel.

338
00:50:20.140 --> 00:50:43.489
Victoria Washington: You know that the Holy Spirit is an integral part of your relationship with God. The Holy spirit is what is in you and is your guide in your access point. And so when you're in the world, you're not listening to the world. You're listening to the Holy Spirit. God has left His Spirit in us through Christ. So that's important to remember for what I'm about to say. I just wanna

339
00:50:43.590 --> 00:50:45.970
Victoria Washington: put that there for anybody that that is

340
00:50:46.080 --> 00:50:47.380
Victoria Washington: walking in Christ.

341
00:50:47.940 --> 00:50:49.560
Victoria Washington: Number one is

342
00:50:49.910 --> 00:50:53.160
Victoria Washington: to stop replacing the Creator with a creation.

343
00:50:53.370 --> 00:50:57.039
Victoria Washington: So for a week, 2 weeks, however long

344
00:50:57.180 --> 00:51:02.780
Victoria Washington: I would invite you to fast from anything that you reach, for before God.

345
00:51:02.980 --> 00:51:08.590
Victoria Washington: that includes cards that includes readings that includes signs that includes numbers that includes

346
00:51:08.690 --> 00:51:12.790
Victoria Washington: anything that you reach for, because you think God's taking too long

347
00:51:12.930 --> 00:51:23.259
Victoria Washington: anything. You've made an idol because you think that God's not there. Anything that you've made a god in your life because you're afraid that the real thing doesn't know you.

348
00:51:23.480 --> 00:51:31.620
Victoria Washington: I would fast and remove those and stop replacing the Creator of the universe with a creation.

349
00:51:31.910 --> 00:51:45.919
Victoria Washington: God created the universe. So when we skip God, and we just say, Universe, we're worshiping the creation which doesn't have nearly as much power or guidance or direction as the one who created it. So that's the 1st way.

350
00:51:46.400 --> 00:51:49.460
Victoria Washington: and in that you're going to get exposed to

351
00:51:49.520 --> 00:51:51.180
Victoria Washington: plans that

352
00:51:51.660 --> 00:52:05.269
Victoria Washington: simply won't come to you the other way, because you're getting an answer from something that isn't God. So God's plan is not there, and you'll feel it. I can't describe it with words, but you will feel the difference. There will be a

353
00:52:05.320 --> 00:52:06.640
Victoria Washington: clarity

354
00:52:07.930 --> 00:52:12.719
Victoria Washington: that's undescribable, and you'll know the difference. But 1st you have to fast

355
00:52:12.920 --> 00:52:16.010
Victoria Washington: and let go of all those things, so you can truly hear

356
00:52:16.280 --> 00:52:17.370
Victoria Washington: God, Spirit.

357
00:52:17.760 --> 00:52:19.620
Victoria Washington: The second option.

358
00:52:19.740 --> 00:52:22.899
Victoria Washington: and the thing that I always remind myself even to this day is.

359
00:52:22.930 --> 00:52:29.330
Victoria Washington: I know I'm following God's plan, and God's will when I don't care if anyone sees it but Him.

360
00:52:31.130 --> 00:52:32.450
Dr. Kayla Lucas: I love that.

361
00:52:32.450 --> 00:52:37.319
Victoria Washington: If I don't care if anyone sees it, no one reads the book and no one read the post. And if no one

362
00:52:37.450 --> 00:52:39.549
Victoria Washington: ever listen to this podcast Caleb.

363
00:52:40.150 --> 00:52:41.280
Victoria Washington: I want to care.

364
00:52:41.790 --> 00:52:42.250
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Yeah.

365
00:52:42.250 --> 00:52:46.019
Victoria Washington: All I care is that what I'm saying right now? He is

366
00:52:46.460 --> 00:52:49.440
Victoria Washington: proud of it. He's in alignment with it, and it's honoring

367
00:52:49.880 --> 00:52:58.029
Victoria Washington: my relationship with him. Everything else is extra. If I was sitting on this podcast and like okay, I need her to like me. I don't want offend that person.

368
00:52:58.110 --> 00:53:05.419
Victoria Washington: I don't. I don't know. That's not me living in God's will. That's me living for the world. So your thoughts will always tell you.

369
00:53:06.110 --> 00:53:11.120
Victoria Washington: because there's peace in. Do you feel the peace after I said that statement? I don't know. I felt it.

370
00:53:11.120 --> 00:53:11.860
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Yeah.

371
00:53:12.310 --> 00:53:15.629
Victoria Washington: That's his will. It's peaceful. There, it's quiet there.

372
00:53:15.990 --> 00:53:17.860
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Who are you when I'm not looking.

373
00:53:17.860 --> 00:53:21.290
Victoria Washington: Yeah, that's 1 quick way to measure it.

374
00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:23.819
Victoria Washington: And then the last one is

375
00:53:26.730 --> 00:53:35.759
Victoria Washington: getting to understand God's word, because it's very, very difficult to hear from someone when you never, when you don't know what they sound like.

376
00:53:35.860 --> 00:53:47.989
Victoria Washington: So if you're somebody who consistently hears from other spirits, or you're always going to. Let's say cards, or you're worshiping other gods like you're going to know that God's voice.

377
00:53:48.130 --> 00:53:56.599
Victoria Washington: if you've never read God's Word, or you've never fasted from those things to simply hear the Holy Spirit. You've never listened to worship music, or you've never read the Gospel.

378
00:53:57.110 --> 00:54:01.119
Victoria Washington: It's gonna be very difficult for you to discern is that God's voice?

379
00:54:01.160 --> 00:54:05.499
Victoria Washington: I've never spent time with it. I've never read it. I've never looked at it.

380
00:54:05.560 --> 00:54:09.110
Victoria Washington: So when people say like, How do I know. How do I know I'm like? Go read his word.

381
00:54:09.150 --> 00:54:12.790
Victoria Washington: His will is in his word. You'll see it right away.

382
00:54:12.980 --> 00:54:15.769
Victoria Washington: and there's guidance in there, and there's clear steps.

383
00:54:15.790 --> 00:54:21.650
Victoria Washington: They're very different from the steps you're going to see in this world, but they're there, and when you start to take them

384
00:54:21.780 --> 00:54:26.299
Victoria Washington: you start to build a relationship, and then that security forms into.

385
00:54:26.910 --> 00:54:31.580
Victoria Washington: And then you a familiarity like, if we talked on the phone every day religiously.

386
00:54:32.060 --> 00:54:33.330
Victoria Washington: I would know you.

387
00:54:33.370 --> 00:54:37.569
Victoria Washington: I would know if that's a counterfeit, Kayla, or the real one.

388
00:54:38.540 --> 00:54:41.639
Victoria Washington: And a lot of people are talking to the counterfeit. They don't know it.

389
00:54:42.520 --> 00:54:44.050
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Yeah, that's not true.

390
00:54:44.510 --> 00:55:12.989
Dr. Kayla Lucas: So if people are like, there's gonna be a a host of people that are like, Yes, Bible love it for people who are like. I don't know if I'm ready to go right there right now. Do you have any any books or resources that you found helpful on your own journey that maybe people can start to dip their toes in cause. I I know this work with God and and just for me personally like. Listen to the gospel my whole life through someone else speaking it to me.

391
00:55:13.264 --> 00:55:32.199
Dr. Kayla Lucas: If it feels hard to go back to it, if it not, maybe not to the Gospel itself, but it feels hard to feel a sense of connectedness to the Bible, and I know that that's something. Obviously my own work needs to do. But I know there's gonna be people who are kind of in this range of like Bible only, and like, what else can I do.

392
00:55:32.630 --> 00:55:34.990
Victoria Washington: For sure I feel that cause that was terrified of the Bible.

393
00:55:35.560 --> 00:55:35.910
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Yeah.

394
00:55:36.623 --> 00:55:41.470
Victoria Washington: Even when I started, I'll be honest. When I started reading the Bible I was like, I don't know how this is gonna go. But

395
00:55:41.610 --> 00:55:53.170
Victoria Washington: here's how here's the truth like for me. I didn't just randomly wake up and be like I'm on fire for Jesus. I'm going to read the Bible. That wasn't my testimony I was getting. I decided to be sober.

396
00:55:53.390 --> 00:55:55.460
Victoria Washington: I was sitting in a church. This was my

397
00:55:55.490 --> 00:56:03.279
Victoria Washington: 1st church service in years and years and years I hadn't gone to church in forever, and my buddy, who wasn't he's

398
00:56:03.470 --> 00:56:07.909
Victoria Washington: I don't even know how he ended up going to church. This is how the Lord works. I'm like, how did you get here? What's happening?

399
00:56:08.490 --> 00:56:18.579
Victoria Washington: And he invited us because I started listening to worship music and the worship music was. So that's my download my playlist. The love of God! I'll give you the link.

400
00:56:18.970 --> 00:56:22.929
Victoria Washington: Sure, I never went in church. I didn't pick up Bible. But this music started to.

401
00:56:22.970 --> 00:56:25.550
Victoria Washington: They started to move me, because the Holy Spirit's in it.

402
00:56:25.780 --> 00:56:40.760
Victoria Washington: and I was like, Where do I go to? Listen to this, and lo and behold! The rock in San Diego every morning on Sunday was playing these these worship songs, and that's a church that I would recommend. It's beautiful there. So I start going. And I'm I'm literally just experimenting. I'm just like you. I'm like.

403
00:56:40.980 --> 00:56:54.080
Victoria Washington: I don't want none. Take it like this is just. I know what they do here like. I came in with all these projections, and I'm sitting there. And at this point I'm reckon I'm recognizing that I have a codependent relationship with alcohol. Nobody knows but God does.

404
00:56:54.100 --> 00:56:58.410
Victoria Washington: And so then, of course, the pastor's like we're doing a 40 day fast.

405
00:56:58.530 --> 00:57:07.129
Victoria Washington: You can fast from anything. But remember, you're not fasting from something you're fasting for someone. And I was like who he said, God.

406
00:57:07.190 --> 00:57:09.129
Victoria Washington: Jesus. And I was like, okay.

407
00:57:09.230 --> 00:57:12.829
Victoria Washington: Well, I know I need to give this up. So I'm going to try this 40 day fast

408
00:57:13.570 --> 00:57:19.140
Victoria Washington: in that 40 day fast. I don't know why, but I was. I picked up Mary Magdalene's Gospel.

409
00:57:19.590 --> 00:57:26.810
Victoria Washington: and in the her gospel it's they only have it to like 8 pages, because then it gets ripped down, destroyed. There's a whole history behind it.

410
00:57:27.020 --> 00:57:32.590
Victoria Washington: But her gospel kept talking about the teacher, Rabbi Yahweh, Yeshua.

411
00:57:32.810 --> 00:57:34.279
Victoria Washington: and I was like, Who's Yashua?

412
00:57:34.650 --> 00:57:35.710
Victoria Washington: Jesus?

413
00:57:36.210 --> 00:57:38.429
Victoria Washington: And she kept talking about the love

414
00:57:38.500 --> 00:57:42.309
Victoria Washington: and the fruit, and what he was doing in her life.

415
00:57:42.490 --> 00:57:47.240
Victoria Washington: And I was like, Well, where do I learn about Jesus like whatever she's doing, like. I want that.

416
00:57:47.730 --> 00:57:52.650
Victoria Washington: And guess where you go. You go to the Bible. So that's how I started reading it. I was like, well.

417
00:57:52.760 --> 00:57:59.609
Victoria Washington: she's not God. But the way she was talking about this teacher and the beauty of the relationship I was like, I want that.

418
00:57:59.680 --> 00:58:04.410
Victoria Washington: And I was being tormented at the time. As I was moving through sobriety, I was

419
00:58:04.470 --> 00:58:22.939
Victoria Washington: going under a lot of spiritual attack. There was a lot of covenants I was breaking. Alcohol did not want to let me go, and I was really in a space of desperation for whole food, not just like this superficial bubblegum spirituality like I needed the word.

420
00:58:22.950 --> 00:58:27.890
Victoria Washington: And so that guided me to read the Bible. So for anybody that's feeling like apprehensive.

421
00:58:28.430 --> 00:58:35.840
Victoria Washington: Just give it a shot like you don't even have to go in there with all this knowledge I just prayed, I said, God.

422
00:58:35.850 --> 00:58:42.070
Victoria Washington: All I know is what I saw in her gospel, and the witness that I saw in her. I want that as well, and

423
00:58:42.580 --> 00:58:47.889
Victoria Washington: this is where it is. This is where actual Jesus is talked about. So I started to read the Gospel, and it changed

424
00:58:48.160 --> 00:58:50.170
Victoria Washington: my life on the inside out.

425
00:58:50.220 --> 00:58:57.999
Victoria Washington: But if that's feeling still a lot, I resonate and I get it, and I empathize. I would start with a devotional.

426
00:58:58.360 --> 00:59:06.839
Victoria Washington: I have a couple that I'll give you to link that I really love and enjoy from teachers that I trust, and that spread the word in a really powerful, integrous way

427
00:59:06.890 --> 00:59:22.749
Victoria Washington: that isn't dripping with shame. I won't say it's going to be easy to hear. I can't promise that. I can't promise that it's not going to ask you to do things that you might not be ready to let go of or move away from. But what I can promise you is, there's a sense of peace and freedom that nothing

428
00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:26.600
Victoria Washington: will ever give you, and for that I will take a risk.

429
00:59:26.840 --> 00:59:27.590
Victoria Washington: Ends

430
00:59:28.630 --> 00:59:43.380
Victoria Washington: tell you to do it. So here there's devotionals that you can start with, and the reason why I like starting with devotionals is it gives you some context before you read the word. So it's almost like, if I were to say, Hey, go see the challengers movie. But you hate tennis

431
00:59:43.500 --> 00:59:54.200
Victoria Washington: I would have you get give you a little bit of context so that you can understand. And then you go watch the movie, and you'd have just a little bit of stuff to work with. So you're not feeling like this thing's trying to

432
00:59:54.300 --> 01:00:03.120
Victoria Washington: trying to take me and bind me to something, or like, you know, all this, the religious stuff that we have to move through. So the devotional is beautiful for a beginner

433
01:00:03.150 --> 01:00:06.019
Victoria Washington: who wants to get to know God's word.

434
01:00:06.140 --> 01:00:08.669
Victoria Washington: but just needs a little bit of context.

435
01:00:08.750 --> 01:00:17.399
Victoria Washington: Those are great, and you can do one a day for 30 days you could do one a day for 60 days. They're sensational, and I'll give you some of my favorite ones that I still use.

436
01:00:17.400 --> 01:00:24.203
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Okay, put it, we'll make sure. We'll make sure that we put that all in the show notes for people. Just so that, like the resources that Victoria has gone over today.

437
01:00:24.804 --> 01:00:38.189
Dr. Kayla Lucas: I am so grateful and just moved by this conversation, you know. Is there a Scripture reading that you would like to share with the audience that may help them grow closer to God with their development of their character and their own transformation.

438
01:00:38.230 --> 01:00:42.180
Dr. Kayla Lucas: or any other tidbits that you want to share. Victorian putting you on the spot.

439
01:00:42.180 --> 01:00:48.340
Victoria Washington: No, I'm loving that. I think the face you're seeing is a face of an answered prayer. That's what you're seeing.

440
01:00:48.340 --> 01:00:49.050
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Okay. Good.

441
01:00:49.050 --> 01:00:49.650
Victoria Washington: As

442
01:00:50.930 --> 01:00:52.838
Victoria Washington: and I might get emotional.

443
01:00:56.120 --> 01:00:58.080
Victoria Washington: I get on a lot of podcasts

444
01:00:59.260 --> 01:01:00.250
Victoria Washington: that

445
01:01:03.670 --> 01:01:06.199
Victoria Washington: are so offended by

446
01:01:06.730 --> 01:01:12.910
Victoria Washington: and so afraid to bring it to their communities or bring it in. So you just asking that straight out, like

447
01:01:13.090 --> 01:01:14.420
Victoria Washington: I love

448
01:01:14.710 --> 01:01:19.279
Victoria Washington: spreading the word. And I love talking about the beauty of it in the Gospel, and

449
01:01:19.760 --> 01:01:21.639
Victoria Washington: I've prayed that God

450
01:01:21.850 --> 01:01:47.989
Victoria Washington: put me in platforms where I can freely express that where there's space for conversation and questions, where we're not forcing Faith down people's throats. But we're just sharing our testimonies and being open and giving people options of what that looks like. So for you to ask me just to share a Scripture like. Usually I have to hide that, or I have feel like I should, or I feel like they want to ask me that, but they're afraid, and there's just so much

451
01:01:48.050 --> 01:01:51.290
Victoria Washington: tension. So this is just

452
01:01:51.630 --> 01:01:54.460
Victoria Washington: beautiful. I'll read Ephesians.

453
01:01:54.940 --> 01:02:02.309
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Don't lie. There's definitely some fear in me that's like this podcast episode. But you know what there was also like a lot of joy, a lot of

454
01:02:02.310 --> 01:02:24.989
Dr. Kayla Lucas: like gen genuine excitement I was vibrating on before I even jumped on the call with you. I told my Va. I was just like, girl. I can't wait for this conversation, so I know that through the fear and and maybe through some of the judgment that we can worry about on the other side of that I I really do believe that that actually cultivates a relationship with yourself and with God that is unique.

455
01:02:24.990 --> 01:02:31.200
Dr. Kayla Lucas: that is embodied in your own experience. So, girl, you read, and you share.

456
01:02:31.200 --> 01:02:32.249
Victoria Washington: Grab real quick.

457
01:02:35.480 --> 01:02:38.549
Dr. Kayla Lucas: She's literally getting up to get it. I love this.

458
01:02:38.550 --> 01:02:41.610
Victoria Washington: Here. No, I read this prayer every morning.

459
01:02:41.680 --> 01:02:51.619
Victoria Washington: and it's in Ephesians and Ephesians. If you even just want a book that from the Bible that feel that is love. I mean, it's love. Ephesians is beautiful.

460
01:02:51.630 --> 01:02:56.120
Victoria Washington: but this is a prayer for the Ephesians, and whenever I read this.

461
01:02:56.160 --> 01:02:59.059
Victoria Washington: and what I feel for anybody listening to this is

462
01:02:59.620 --> 01:03:03.137
Victoria Washington: the reminder of the love that's available.

463
01:03:04.270 --> 01:03:07.999
Victoria Washington: The world says that money is the root of all evil.

464
01:03:08.210 --> 01:03:34.209
Victoria Washington: but really, the love of money is the root of all evil. So it's okay to desire money. It's okay to be stewarding money. It's okay to do those things, but when we have a love for that above the love of God which we are susceptible to, I know I've been in that before. That's when we start to feel these grief, this grief of the heart. So this prayer is just a reminder of where to establish your love, and it says in verse 14.

465
01:03:34.210 --> 01:03:50.269
Victoria Washington: For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, and I pray that out of His glorious riches, he may strengthen you with power through His Spirit and your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

466
01:03:50.350 --> 01:04:10.559
Victoria Washington: and I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know that this love surpasses knowledge, and that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

467
01:04:12.190 --> 01:04:14.609
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

468
01:04:14.730 --> 01:04:15.950
Victoria Washington: Thank you. Queen.

469
01:04:16.610 --> 01:04:23.229
Dr. Kayla Lucas: Victoria. This has been one of the most empowering, I think, conversations I've ever had.

470
01:04:23.420 --> 01:04:25.620

479
01:04:42.390 --> 01:05:05.810
Dr. Kayla Lucas: of what you're bringing forward and what you're kind of working to do, and I'm just so excited to watch you. I'm so excited to be a follower of the house of we, and just help people kind of establish even a greater sense of who they wanna be with God, and how they wanna contribute and how they wanna receive. So thank you. So so much, for today I have enjoyed every moment.
