God Doesn’t Waste the Wound

Last updated on: July 24, 2026 at 9:03 pm   By Jacquiline Cox

God Doesn’t Waste the Wound Watching Shannon Savoy Build a Ministry of Healing One Story at a Time By Dr. Jacquiline Cox One of the greatest privileges I have as a publisher isn’t  simply producing books. It’s having a front-row seat to watch God transform ordinary obedience into extraordinary impact. Publishing gives you a unique perspective. You don’t just see the finished manuscript that readers eventually hold in their hands. You witness the late nights, the tears, the rewrites, the... Read more

When Covenant Survives Fire: Dr. Velma & Pastor Bruce Bagby

Last updated on: May 13, 2026 at 2:49 pm   By Jacquiline Cox

In a culture where people walk away over inconvenience, the love story of Dr. Velma Bagby and Pastor Bruce Bagby feels almost radical. Their journey, beautifully captured in My 70s Love Story: 52 Plus Years Later, is not a fairy tale built on perfection. It is a testimony built on endurance, sacrifice, faith, forgiveness, and the daily decision to keep choosing each other. Their story began in the 1970s with something surprisingly simple: a prayer list written by a sixteen-year-old girl... Read more

Solomon Savoy’s Man of GOD Devotional Resonates Nationwide

Last updated on: December 10, 2025 at 10:47 am   By Jacquiline Cox

When a Man Rediscovers His Calling: Why Solomon Savoy’s Man of GOD Devotional Is Resonating Nationwide Every now and then, a book arrives at just the right moment — not because it’s flashy, not because it’s heavily marketed, but because the message meets a need we don’t always know how to name. That’s what happened this week with Solomon Savoy’s new devotional, Man of GOD: A 31-Day Devotional for Purpose, Identity & Kingdom Strength. Without fanfare, without theatrics, this devotional... Read more

Guard Your Heart: Because Destiny Can’t Afford a Leak

Last updated on: December 5, 2025 at 11:11 am   By Jacquiline Cox

Guard Your Heart: Because Destiny Can’t Afford a Leak By Dr. Jacquiline Cox for Patheos There’s a reason Scripture doesn’t whisper when it comes to guarding your heart — it commands. Proverbs 4:23 (NKJV) lays it out plain and simple: “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” Baby, that’s not a suggestion. That is a divine boundary. Because the truth is this: your heart is the wellspring of your decisions, your discernment,... Read more

The Imposters: The Counterfeit Church!

Last updated on: October 24, 2025 at 8:14 pm   By Jacquiline Cox

The Imposters: When the Counterfeit Church Meets a Remnant That Refuses to Bow by Dr. Jacquiline Cox, Mrs. Illinois USA Ambassador 2025 for Listen Linda! Presents on Patheos There’s a shaking happening in the Body of Christ—and if your spirit is tuned in, you can feel it. The stage lights are fading, the masks are slipping, and the imposters are being exposed. When I first read The Imposters: From Counterfeit Altars to Kingdom Authority in Christ by Shannon Savoy, I... Read more

Lord, I See What’s Happening… and My Knees Are Bowed

Last updated on: October 18, 2025 at 8:54 am   By Jacquiline Cox

✝️ “Lord, I See What’s Happening… and My Knees Are Bowed” By Dr. Jacquiline Cox | Listen Linda Presents for Patheos I don’t know about y’all, but my heart is heavy. Every day I wake up, turn on the news, and whisper, “Lord, the Bible is unfolding right before our eyes.” What’s happening across America, in the Middle East, and even right here in our own government isn’t just politics — it’s prophecy. And I truly believe the Church has... Read more

“A Pretty Wreck” and a God Who Don’t Waste Nothing

Last updated on: October 5, 2025 at 12:51 pm   By Jacquiline Cox

“A Pretty Wreck” and a God Who Don’t Waste Nothing By Dr. Jacquiline Cox | Listen Linda Magazine Contributor | Patheos Columnist Let me tell you something. I came across a book that stopped me in my tracks—A Pretty Wreck: From Trauma to Triumph by Prophetess Leah M. Kelley. Now y’all know I don’t toss the word “prophetess” around lightly. But this woman? Whew. She don’t just wear the title—she walks it, breathes it, bleeds it, and writes it straight... Read more

If I Were To Write A Book In The Bible

Last updated on: August 3, 2025 at 8:33 am   By Jacquiline Cox

By Dr. Jacquiline Cox | Patheos Column: Listen Linda Speaks If I were to write a book in the Bible, it wouldn’t be one of those quiet ones. It would be loud. It would be honest. It would be dripping in oil from all the wounds I didn’t ask for, but God still used. I’d write about the nights I wept so hard I could barely breathe. The foster homes that broke more than my routine—they broke my identity. The... Read more

When Growth Gets Lonely:

Last updated on: May 8, 2025 at 11:00 am   By Jacquiline Cox

Everybody Can’t Handle Your Upgrade You know what’s wild? We pray for elevation, but when God starts answering, we’re met with side-eyes instead of celebration. Sometimes it’s the people you loved the hardest who suddenly act like your glow is offensive. Jesus dealt with this too. In Matthew 17:1, He only brought Peter, James, and John to the mountaintop. Not because the others weren’t good people, but because not everybody can handle the magnitude of God’s glory. Your elevation exposes... Read more

Pulpits & Pettiness: The Truth Behind Mean Girls in Ministry

Last updated on: May 4, 2025 at 9:32 am   By Jacquiline Cox

By Jacquiline Cox aka Listen Linda | Listen Linda Speaks on Patheos Listen Linda… can we talk for real for a minute? I’m not talking about surface-level, praise-dance-and-move-on kind of talk. I’m talking about that deep, under-the-lacefront, down-in-your-spirit kinda truth. Because what I’m about to say ain’t pretty, but it’s necessary: We got some mean girls in ministry—and they ain’t just wearing red bottoms and quoting scripture. They’re sitting on pulpits, hosting conferences, laying hands, and posting Bible verses with... Read more
