The Messenger Movement: Faith, Leadership and Kindgom Business

This is the final episode of The Messenger Movement Podcast—a sacred closing to a seven-year assignment. In this farewell message, Tamra shares what God has been doing beneath the surface, why this season is ending, and what He is rebuilding in its place.After hundreds of episodes, countless interviews, and years of pioneering in the marketplace, Tamra felt the Lord asking her to pause, minimize, and return to the deep listening that marked her early formation as a messenger. This final episode isn’t a goodbye to the movement—it's a surrender to God’s timing so He can mature, refine, and reroute the messenger before the next expression is revealed.If you’ve ever felt God pull you into a quiet season that doesn’t make sense on paper—this closing episode will sit right in the center of your spirit.Notable Quotes from This Final Episode“There’s been a lot of tears specifically tied to the podcast… but the Lord has secured this decision.”“I never want you to falsely idolize my execution. Kingdom strategy will look different for every messenger.”“I don’t want to regurgitate information. I want to sit at the feet of Jesus.”“I know the podcast will come back—just perfectly in God’s timing.”Where the Movement Goes From HereEven though the podcast is closing, the mission continues:Founder Collective Monthly Encounters A gathering space for worship, equipping, and sharpening marketplace messengers.https://thefoundercollective.com2026 Founder Event Tamra announces the event and extends an early invitation inside the episode.Ongoing writing, publishing, and Kingdom collaboration The movement isn’t ending—it’s being refined.

As Tamra reflects on the close of 2025 and the completion of seven years of The Messenger Movement, she opens her heart about what God has been speaking: rest, realignment, prophetic vision, and a call back to the secret place. In this deeply personal episode, Tamra shares the imagery, scriptures, and confirmations the Lord has been revealing—dry bones being restored, members of the body being reconnected, bulldozers clearing what’s no longer needed, and a renewed urgency for holiness, focus, and intentionality as we move into 2026.This isn’t just Tamra’s word; it’s an invitation for the entire body of Christ. If you've felt the tension, the pruning, the urge to simplify, or the unmistakable nudge to shut down what no longer aligns with God’s assignment—this message will resonate deeply. Tamra walks through the process of prophetic preparation, the discipline of remembering, and the sacred act of returning to the manger moments where God births something new.What You’ll Hear in This EpisodeWhy Tamra believes the body of Christ is being sewn back together after seasons of disconnectionHow rest and Sabbath shaped her entire year — and why it was necessary for what’s comingThe prophetic significance of closing tabs, bulldozing distractions, and returning to alignmentThe connection between Mary’s secret moment, your secret place, and your next assignmentWhat the valley of dry bones reveals about the Church in this seasonWhy silence, obedience, and humility prepare the soil for new gifts and fresh birthingsHow the natural signs around us often mirror the supernatural work God is doingThe invitation to simplify the mission and reclaim the sacred rhythm God designedA powerful prompting to ask: What is God asking me to shut down, surrender, or strip back before 2026?Key ThemesProphetic vision & discernmentRest, Sabbath, and spiritual realignmentIdentity and unity within the body of ChristObedience, humility, and clearing space for GodPreparing for new assignmentsThe power of rememberingFamily, home, marriage, stewardship, and holinessMemorable MomentsTamra’s visual of the Lord stitching back members of the body like the rag-doll character from The Nightmare Before ChristmasHer husband’s comment about “200 tabs open” becoming a prophetic lens for clarity and focusThe real-life bulldozers in their backyard—and how the Lord used them to mirror spiritual bulldozingHer daughter’s gentle question about Sabbath that revealed a deeper invitation from GodThe recognition that silencing her message is the radical obedience required for her next assignmentScriptures Referenced1 Corinthians 13–15Ezekiel 37 (Valley of Dry Bones)The Gospel accounts of Mary receiving the message from GabrielA Question for You, Messenger:What is God asking you to let go of, clean out, or close down in order to enter 2026 whole, aligned, and fully available?It may not feel convenient—but it will be holy.

Today’s episode is special. I had the joy of jumping onto my friend Melissa Hughes’ podcast, She Can Share, and the conversation was too rich not to bring home to The Messenger Movement community. Melissa and I share the kind of friendship where truth flows easily, joy shows up naturally, and Jesus stays at the center. Together, we dig into the real journey of becoming a messenger — the valleys, the mountaintops, the clarity, the confusion, the bravery, and the obedience that actually builds a Kingdom-led life.You’ll hear the messy middle of my own story: how God pulled the rug out from under my “perfect life,” how He met me supernaturally in my living room at 29, and how He turned a lifetime of striving, trauma, and achievement into a calling rooted in people, purpose, and discipleship in the marketplace.Melissa and I talk about the tension every Christian entrepreneur feels — wanting to honor God with your voice while also navigating visibility, influence, storytelling, and even money. We talk about the fear of what family might think, the cling of poverty mindsets, the beauty of generosity, and why fun and freedom are actually strategic in the Kingdom.If you’ve ever wondered, “Can I really say yes to this calling?” — this conversation is your answer.What You’ll Hear in This EpisodeThe moment God disrupted my life and rebuilt everything from the foundation of ChristHow I went from eight businesses without Jesus to a calling rooted fully in HimWhat to do when you’re multi-passionate and can’t seem to find “your one thing”Why clarity isn’t given — it’s activated through movementThe battle between visibility and false humilityHow to show your face online without making it about youThe truth about family pushback, resistance, and stepping into your story anywayKingdom stewardship vs. poverty thinking — and why generosity is the acceleratorThe idea of “false summits” and learning to acclimate to each new level God calls you toA simple money affirmation that shifts your posture into trust and flowKey Quotes from the Episode“Clarity comes in action. God trusts you to move when you’re aligned with Him.”“False humility hides what God gave you to reveal.”“Every failure is an acclimation point preparing you for the next elevation.”“Prosperity has two lenses: greedy or generous. Choose generosity.”“You answer to Abba — not your hometown, not your critics, and not your past.”Want to Turn Your Message Into a Movement?You’re not just here to learn — you’re here to rise.

In this powerful keynote episode, Tamra Andress opens the curtain on what it really means to live as a messenger—whether you’re on a stage, in the marketplace, or in a room that doesn’t speak the same spiritual language you do. This isn’t just about motivation. It’s about identity, surrender, and stepping boldly into the message God placed inside you.Tamra shares a behind-the-scenes look at delivering a keynote in a spiritually diverse environment and how she carries Jesus with her into every space without compromise. She digs into the heart work of being a messenger, why surrender is your greatest posture, and how your pains and passions form the backbone of the movement you’re called to lead.This episode is part testimony, part activation workshop, and part clarion call for the messengers who know they’re meant for more—those feeling the tension of transition, those trying to find their footing, and those who are ready to stop shrinking back.What You’ll LearnWhat it looks like to show up for Jesus in rooms that aren’t explicitly faith-based.Why surrender—not confidence—is the true starting point of every messenger.How to recognize whether you’re in the beam, boost, or belief stage of your calling.A deeper understanding of your pain + passion = movement blueprint.How to identify your unique profit identity and spiritual gifting.The role of “fruit” in your personal brand and everyday influence.Why your message matters more in seasons of transition or uncertainty.The importance of eye contact, presence, and being rooted when sharing your story.The life cycle of a messenger: planter, waterer, sunshine, fire starter, or pruner.How to build a message that leads to real transformation—not just attention.Episode SummaryThis episode is a deep, soul-level reminder that you cannot separate your message from who you are becoming. Tamra guides listeners through a powerful journey of surrender, identity, transformation, and activation—helping you connect the dots between your story, your spiritual gifts, and the movement God is inviting you to build.If you’ve ever felt unseen in the process, stuck in transition, or unsure how to share your message boldly, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are—and call you forward.Where to find Tamra:Want to elevate your voice and purpose?

This episode is a candid look at what brave faith, spiritual freedom, and Kingdom leadership actually require—and it’s probably not what most people expect. Tamra shares a behind-the-scenes story (yes, the blue face paint one) that starts out funny but ends up revealing something important about surrender, identity, and the way God forms His messengers long before they step into any kind of public calling.Coming off FounderCon, Tamra reflects on what she saw happening in real time—prophetic alignment, Holy Spirit confirmation, and the kind of honest testimony that only happens when people stop performing and start yielding. Her perspective on marketplace ministry and how God weaves together messages across different voices gives a raw, unfiltered look at how true discipleship and activation actually unfold.But this conversation goes deeper. She talks openly about a hard year in her marriage, what God exposed, and how He rebuilt her understanding of biblical headship, unity, and what healthy Christian partnership looks like when both people are pursuing Jesus. Her reflections on Esther, calling, and women of faith rising in strength without abandoning divine order are some of the most grounded, thoughtful insights she’s shared on the podcast.At the center of the episode is this truth: God calls His messengers home before He ever sends them out. Home to Him. Home to truth. Home to healing. Home to the parts we’d rather skip past on our way to impact. If you’re navigating a refining season in your marriage, your identity, your leadership, or your spiritual formation, this conversation will feel familiar in all the right ways.What you’ll hear in this episodeThe real story behind the Braveheart moment (and what it revealed about bravery in Christ)How God aligned messages at FounderCon through prophetic flow and surrendered leadershipA raw look at marriage restoration, humility, and spiritual maturityWhy biblical headship and Kingdom partnership matter for both men and womenA fresh, grounded reflection on Esther and spiritual authorityThe difference between ambition and Spirit-led callingWhy God shapes messengers in hidden places before public ministryWhat true freedom in Christ feels like when it touches your home firstWhy this episode mattersIf you lead in the marketplace, ministry, or your home…If you're a woman navigating calling, marriage, identity, or spiritual refinement…If you're hungry for freedom, purpose, and clarity about your Kingdom assignment…This episode puts language to the private work God often does before the public work ever begins.
