Today’s encouraging episode offers comfort to every Christian woman who feels alone. Feeling unseen, forgotten, or lonely during the holidays is more common than many people realize. In this message, I talk honestly about how to trust in God when life feels disappointing, and how prayer and Scripture can steady your heart. You’ll learn how to recognize what you can change and what you must release to the Lord, and how serving others can bring surprising peace in God when your emotions feel heavy.

We’ll look at the biblical story of Hagar who was awakened to the “God who sees.” If you’re seeking encouragement, a Scripture-based perspective, and simple steps to hold onto your faith and to steady your heart, this episode will help you draw near to Jesus and experience God’s peace in very real, practical ways.

Episode 4: Do You Trust God to Resurrect Dead Things in Your Life?

Do you ever struggle with thinking you don’t know how to pray? A lot of people feel inadequate when it comes to prayer, as if there is a secret formula to use every time they pray. There isn’t a secret formula, but Jesus modeled all kinds of different prayers for us. We can learn a lot about prayer by studying how He prayed and what He taught about it. In this episode, I share one of Jesus’ many powerful prayers, and help you understand how to apply this method to your own prayer life to find peace when life is difficult.
