Back to EpisodesKristen Wambach on How Good Is God, Spiritual Experience, and Discovering Your God-Given Authority
Description
In this episode of the Authority On Demand Podcast, hosted by Danielle Hutchinson, Kristen Wambach shares her journey of faith, ministry, writing, and spiritual discovery.
Kristen grew up in Oregon’s Willamette Valley and later became an ordained pastor, author, podcast host, and CEO. After experiencing a deeper transformation in her relationship with Jesus, she began asking difficult questions about her faith and exploring what she had been taught. Through years of prayer, journaling, and personal encounters, she developed a stronger understanding of how God speaks and works in her life.
Kristen describes herself as an “investigative journalist of the spirit” because she has spent more than 30 years documenting her spiritual experiences. She explains how writing down what she hears, feels, and learns helps her recognize patterns, remember important details, and better understand the message she is being given.
The conversation also focuses on her newest book, How Good Is God? Coaching Church Beyond the Gates of Hell to Truly Experience Heaven. Kristen explains how the book is structured around four gates: hell, the pew, the pulpit, and heaven. She also shares the spiritual experiences that influenced the book, including her reflections on Jesus’ time in the tomb and the meaning of the folded and unfolded burial linens.
Kristen discusses how personal experience can strengthen authority and credibility. Rather than simply telling people what to believe, she believes leaders can help others by guiding them toward their own experiences and understanding. She shares a powerful story about helping a woman revisit her trauma through prayer and discover that she was not alone in what she had experienced.
The episode also explores Kristen’s writing process. Her newest book is more than 400 pages and grew from years of journals, personal insights, and spiritual experiences. She explains how staying focused on the message helped her continue writing, even when the process became overwhelming.
