Growth And Discipline Begins Where Comfort Ends.– Amanda Sharp

What if the biggest battle of your life isn’t the enemy, other people, or your circumstances… but the undisciplined version of you that you allow?

In this raw and eye-opening conversation, Amanda and Christy take you deep into the internal fight every person faces: the tension between your disciplined self who wants transformation and your undisciplined self who craves comfort, avoidance, and the familiar.

This episode exposes the patterns that quietly sabotage your calling — the excuses, the blame, the hiding, the self-righteousness, the shame, the emotional addictions, and the beliefs that keep you small.

Inside this episode you’ll hear:

• Why comfort feels safe but silently destroys your growth
• How the undisciplined self keeps you stuck in cycles of self-sabotage
• Why discipline is choosing who you want to become, not what feels good
• How shame loses its power the moment it’s brought into the light
• The spiritual truth that transformation starts with surrender
• The addictions no one talks about (validation, people-pleasing, ego, negativity, numbing, avoidance)
• Why some areas of your life get your discipline — and others get your excuses
• How God uses repentance, humility, and accountability to reshape your entire life

Amanda and Christy share personal stories, spiritual breakthroughs, and the painful yet powerful moments when God exposed the parts of themselves that comfort was hiding.

This episode will challenge the way you see discipline, comfort, calling, and the person you are becoming.

Do It From Love Not For Love– Amanda Sharp

What if the version of “love” you’ve been giving isn’t really love at all—but a disguised form of people-pleasing, self-abandonment, or enabling?

In this deep and candid conversation, we take a hard look at the patterns so many of us fall into: over-giving, over-apologizing, absorbing the emotions of everyone around us, and calling it kindness.

We unpack the difference between doing things for love versus doing things from love—and why one leads to resentment and depletion, while the other leads to real connection, peace, and spiritual alignment.

We explore why people-pleasers are often not praised while silently suffering, how boundaries feel terrifying when your value is tied to being needed, and how easily manipulative dynamics form when you don’t know your worth.

From faith to friendship, singleness to marriage, parenting to past trauma, we get honest about the journey of untangling your identity from the approval of others.

You’ll hear us dive into:

The hidden control issues behind people-pleasing

Why “kindness” that costs you your peace is not love

The trap of performing for belonging

Over-apologizing and shrinking to keep the room comfortableHow resentment grows when love isn’t reciprocated

The void only God can fill

What it means to serve from love, not for it

The spiritual work of putting God first in relationships

The identity crisis when people no longer need you

Why enabling stunts growth (yours and theirs)

Reclaiming your voice, your limits, and your God-given identity

This episode is an invitation to step out of the cycle of earning love and into a healthier, holier, more grounded way of connecting—with God, with others, and with yourself.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted from being the strong one, the helper, or the fixer, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

In Search of Worth, We Often Turn to Those Whose Perspective Is as Limited as Our Own. -Amanda Sharp

In Episode 23, Amanda and Christy dive deep into the search for validation, self-worth, confidence, identity, and the internal battles that shape who we become.

This conversation confronts the patterns we build from childhood, the roles we learn to play to feel seen, and the ways external approval can derail our purpose, relationships, boundaries, and faith.

Together, they explore how false validation shows up through appearance, relationships, performance, comparison, and people-pleasing.

They break down the difference between validation and true support, why many stay in toxic environments, and how insecurity, jealousy, and fear can distort our choices.

This episode brings honest stories about marriage, career sabotage, boundaries, purpose, God’s guidance, community, healing, and rebuilding identity after losing yourself.

If you’re looking for a conversation around personal growth, emotional maturity, faith, purpose, transformation, self-leadership, and learning to rely on God rather than external approval, this episode will challenge and encourage you. Learn how to stop abandoning yourself, how to identify unhealthy validation cycles, and how to anchor your worth in who God created you to be.
