In this episode, I talk about something that hits close to home — the anxiety that comes from holding onto things we were never meant to hold. Maybe it’s beauty, maybe it’s success, maybe it’s your background or even where you come from. I know this has been true for me.

I share a personal story about discovering my ancestry — Belgian, Bulgarian, and even Roma, Gypsy roots — and how God used that moment to show me something deeper about identity.

It made me ask: Am I still clinging to something other than God? Even subtly?

When we hold onto anything more tightly than Him — our image, our past, or even good things like goals and dreams — our hearts become divided. We lose peace. And sometimes, that quiet inner pressure we call anxiety is really our spirit trying to remind us: “You’re holding something that isn’t meant to define you.”

In this episode, I explore both the faith and the science behind why that happens.

When you cling to old patterns or fears, your brain and nervous system stay in fight-or-flight — always scanning for loss or danger. But when you release and surrender, your body shifts into rest and restore — your heart slows, your breath deepens, and peace returns.

God isn’t slow to move — He’s patient with us as we learn to trust Him.

Like 2 Peter 3:9 says:

When we let go, we make room. It’s like trying to fill a cup that’s already full — God’s pouring blessings and direction, but we have to empty what’s been in the way.

Through it all, He’s whispering:

Scriptures from this Episode:

• Philippians 3:7–8 — “Whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.”
• 1 Samuel 16:7 — “Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
• Isaiah 43:1 — “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.”
• Psalm 139:13–14 — “You knit me together in my mother’s womb… I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
• 2 Peter 3:9 — “The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise… He is patient with you.”
• Matthew 12:25 — “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined.”
• 2 Timothy 2:13 — “If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot disown Himself.”

Final Encouragement:

Friend, what are you holding onto that’s been keeping you anxious?

You are already chosen. Already loved. Already enough.

Take a deep breath. Let go. And let Him define you. Bye for now

Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything you can and still nothing is working out? That’s where I’ve been. Since February I’ve been showing up and working hard, but it’s now October and I still don’t have a new sale. It feels heavy, especially with a family, growing kids, responsibilities, and dreams that sometimes seem out of reach.

In this episode of Curious for Christ, I’m opening up about what it looks like to trust God in the middle of that kind of season. I share three scriptures that are grounding me, what I’ve been learning about how our brains create thoughts that aren’t always true, and why God is never intimidated by our honesty.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why our thoughts often repeat the past, not the truth (Isaiah 55:8–9)
• How David shows us that God can handle our raw honesty (Psalm 6:3 + Psalm 34:18)
• Why seasons of loss and struggle may actually be God’s way of bringing new life (John 12:24)

I also share a personal story about what happened when I opened up to a friend about feeling hopeless — and how her acceptance reminded me that community really is medicine for the soul.

If you’ve ever wondered if you’re “allowed” to feel hopeless as a Christian, or if you’re questioning where God is in your own struggle, I think this episode will speak to you.

In this special replay, I’m bringing back one of the most listened-to episodes of Curious for Christ: my conversation with author and evangelist Gordon Ferguson on struggling to trust God and discovering deeper insights from the Bible.

I didn’t want to create something new just for the sake of it. Instead, I felt led to return to this powerful message—because trusting God and living fully in our identity as His daughters is something I’m still learning to embody in deeper ways today.

In the new introduction, I share how I’m moving beyond old stories and limiting identities. I’m stepping more boldly into trust, learning to live freely and fully as the woman God has called me to be.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• An honest conversation with Gordon Ferguson about gender, trust, and how God truly sees us.
• Reflections on what it means to wrestle with trust and identity in Christ.
• Encouragement to let go of old labels and step more boldly into who God says you are.
• A fresh invitation to reflect on the truth you need to embrace in order to live out your calling.

Reflection Prompt: As you listen, ask yourself: What truth do I need to hold onto in order to do what I’m called to do and be all that God wants me to be?

I’d love to hear your response—share your thoughts in the comments or join the community at bt.ly/curiousforChristcommunity.

Stay tuned—I also have a few exciting guests lined up for future episodes, and I can’t wait to share more soon. But for now, let’s revisit this impactful conversation.
