What if the struggle you feel isn’t because you don’t know the truth… but because you haven’t yet come into agreement with it?

In this episode, we pull up a chair on the porch and slow things down — not to re-teach, but to integrate.

Building on Episodes 02, 03, and 04, Stephanie invites you into a deeper conversation about identity, worth, belief, and renewing the mind. This is a porch check-in — a pause to notice what’s already shifting, to remove shame, and to let truth move from head knowledge into heart belief.

Through Scripture, honest reflection, breath, and Spirit-led practice, you’ll be reminded that worth is not something you earn or fix — it was proven at the cross. And that real freedom begins when we come into agreement with what God says about who we are.

☕ This is an integration episode. A “let’s fill in the gaps” episode. A “let’s go deeper” episode — with Jesus at the center.

• Why identity is often the root of many struggles we face
• The difference between knowing truth and believing it
• How coming into agreement with God bridges head knowledge and heart belief
• Why worth was proven at the cross — full stop
• A gentle porch check-in to help you notice growth without shame
• Why awareness itself is evidence of transformation
• Why mornings can feel mentally heavy — and how to respond with compassion
• How the Creation Cycle helps expose false-self thought patterns
• What a “bridge thought” is and how Scripture models it beautifully
• Why mindset tools must never be separated from Jesus
• How belief fuels action and why “waiting on God” doesn’t mean inaction
• A simple, Spirit-led daily practice to move from awareness into freedom

Genesis 1:26–27 Psalm 139:13–16 Psalm 23 Mark 9:24 Romans 5:8 Romans 7–8 Romans 12:2 Ephesians 1:3–4 Ephesians 1:13–14 Ephesians 2:1 2 Corinthians 5:21 John 1:12 John 3:16 1 John 1:9 1 Peter 1:18–19 Matthew 6:21

This episode is a gentle pause after the foundation-laying conversations — a moment to breathe, reflect, and let what you’ve been learning truly land.

You don’t have to rush. You don’t have to strive. And you don’t have to earn what’s already been given.
