For the month of December, I am taking a step back from the podcast to hear where the Lord is calling me to refine and move into something new. I will relaunch in January (unless the Lord changes my timeline), and the podcast will be back with new messaging and a slightly different direction. Listen to this short announcement to hear who will be a good fit for this new direction, what it will look like, and how to stay informed and help make podcast decisions over the next month.

Have you ever wondered why believing lies about yourself feels easier than believing what God says about you? Or why faith can feel heavy, harsh, or confusing — even when you genuinely want truth? This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting God’s love and hearing a loud inner critic. We talk about why your brain grabs the negative so fast, why it’s hard to trust God when you’ve been hurt, and what happens when we see Him through old wounds. This is a simple, honest look at faith, healing, and the hope God has for you — without giving you more rules or pressure.

Do you ever feel guilty, uncomfortable, or “too much” when you need help? What if the real problem isn’t the help… but the beliefs you’ve been carrying about yourself?

In this episode, we talk about why it can feel scary to let others help you and how this may be blocking connection, healing, and peace in your home. You’ll hear a gentle and honest look at why receiving help is part of God’s design for you, and how saying “yes” can actually grow your marriage, friendships, and walk with the Lord. If you’ve been carrying life alone, this episode will show you a better way.
