🎙️ Burned Out But Still Burning - Episode 8: What Oil Costs: The Anointing After the Pressing

In this episode of #Hale4Health: The Health Evangelist, we lean into the mystery and weight of the anointing. Oil never flows without pressing. The bruises, the late nights, the tears, and the crushing are not wasted. Pressure is not punishment. It is preparation. And the anointing that follows is more powerful than anything you could imagine.

Through Scripture, reflection, and prayer, we uncover:

✨ Why the pressing is necessary for oil to flow

✨ How God transforms pressure into power

✨ Why bruises and breaking are marks of preparation

✨ How to embrace the cost of your calling with surrender and expectation

This week’s episode is an invitation to stop despising the pressure and start seeing it as the preparation for your anointing. The cost may feel high, but the harvest is priceless.

Core Scriptures
