Alicia Griffin

Lifeā€™s transitions have a way of shaking our foundationā€”leaving us wrestling with uncertainty, carrying unseen pain, and feeling stuck in the gap between who we were and who God is calling us to become. Alicia F Griffin created Spiritual Tea Podcast to meet believers directly in that tension. As a podcast host, speaker, and biblical strategist, Alicia cuts through the noise of lifeā€™s shifts with unshakeable scriptural truth, spiritual authority, and practical wisdom.

Rather than leaving listeners to navigate the discomfort of change alone, Alicia equips them to recognize transition not as a crisis, but as a sacred doorway. She leads believers out of confusion and into clarity by anchoring every conversation in three core pillars:
Becoming: Reframing lifeā€™s in-between seasons not as a dead end, but as an active, sacred process of spiritual renewal, identity alignment, and personal growth.
Healing: Creating a safe, grace-filled space to confront emotional and spiritual wounds, bringing brokenness to Jesus for true, lasting restoration.
Purpose: Activating faith, dismantling self-doubt, and empowering believers to step courageously into the unique, divine assignment God designed for them.

Alicia firmly believes that the "messy middle" of transition is never a punishmentā€”it is the exact ground where God deepens our faith, restores our spirit, and reveals our true assignment. By pairing transparent, real-life reflection with deep biblical insight, she transforms lifeā€™s hardest shifts into powerful catalysts for personal and spiritual breakthrough.

Her mission is clear: to awaken hearts, renew minds, and inspire a generation of believers to stop fearing change, heal from what hurt them, and step boldly into their God-given destinyā€”one heart, one story, one cup of truth at a time.
