Emotions rise fast. Fear sneaks in quietly. And most of us were never actually taught what to do when it happens.

In this episode of Faith, Fire, Freedom, Stephanie walks you through a simple, biblically grounded five-step framework to help you process emotion without suppressing it, spiritualizing it, or spiraling in it.

You’ll learn how to notice what’s happening in your body, regulate your nervous system, identify fear-based beliefs, and renew your mind in truth — all while staying rooted in your identity in Christ.

If you’ve ever tried to pray your way out of a feeling… only to find it still sitting there, this episode is for you.
