Growing Through It

Happy 2 years, you guys!! I truly don’t even have the words for what this journey has meant to me.
This podcast, you all, my little chair in my living room and a mic from Amazon, somehow God has used all of it to change my life in ways I could have never imagined. And from the deepest place in my heart, none of this has been me, it has always been Him. Every single part of this is for His glory.
There have been so many moments where I’ve felt such an overwhelming love for you all. And it always makes me emotional, because if I can feel that without even meeting you, how much more does He feel for you? His love for you is without measure. Truly.
Lately, my heart keeps going back to Paul’s words in the book of Acts, that even with suffering ahead, his life would be worth nothing if he didn’t get to share the good news. And I feel that so much right now. Like my life would truly feel meaningless if I couldn’t tell the world about Jesus. That is all I want. That is why I’m here.
So, to say thank you… I wanted to do something special.

Some of us feel like we’re “waiting on God”…
but if we’re honest, we’re also trying to help Him make sure that dream happens.
You’re watching people get the job, the house, the engagement, the marriage, or the very thing you felt like God promised you, while your own life feels slow, unclear, or like it’s not moving at all.
So you start thinking maybe you need to do more,
say more, fix more, plan better, be better.
Maybe if you send the text.
Maybe if you don’t miss the opportunity.
Maybe if you just try a little harder… things will finally fall into place.
And on the outside, it looks like you’re being proactive,
but on the inside, it feels like pressure… like if you don’t hold it all together, it might not happen.
I’ve been there too.
In this episode, we’re talking about control and the difference between waiting and interfering, and how control can secretly take over even when you genuinely love God and want to trust Him.
Because surrender isn’t just about what we say,  it’s about what we do when nothing is happening, when the timeline doesn’t make sense, and when everyone else seems to be moving ahead.
If you’ve been feeling behind, anxious about your future, or like you have to make something happen before it’s “too late”… this is for you.
Because surrendering it to Him is always better.

Be honest… is there something getting in the way of your relationship with God?
You love Him. You care about your faith. But deep down, you know if this one thing or maybe even a few things weren’t there… you wouldn’t feel so distracted.
I found myself there too.
Where little things were quietly creating distance where there could have been intimacy and I didn’t even realize it at first.
Because how do we know?
Sometimes it just blends into our everyday lives. It feels normal. It doesn’t look like something “big”… but it still has a hold on our heart.
And we feel the distance, even if we can’t explain it.
In this episode, we’re talking about the “secret” high places, the things that are hard to name but are everywhere and the heart issue that allows them to stay.
And how to finally start letting them go so nothing is sitting where only God is meant to be.

I think a lot of women secretly want their softness back.
We want to feel gentle again. We want to feel safe enough to be feminine, to be warm. But somewhere along the way, life taught us that softness isn’t safe. So we built walls. We learned how to protect ourselves. We became “the strong one.”
And sometimes that strength was necessary. Sometimes it helped us survive.
But if we’re honest… a lot of us are tired of it. 
In this episode, I want to talk about the tension so many women feel between strength and softness. What biblical femininity actually looks like, why the world slowly hardens our hearts, and how God becomes the place where we can finally lay our weapons down.
Because true femininity isn’t weakness.
Gentleness isn’t fragility.
And softness isn’t something you have to earn from the world.
God is the place where our hearts learn how to soften again.
Where we can be “just a girl” with a father who loves us.

Lately I’ve felt a heaviness that’s hard to explain. Are you guys feeling it too?
Not just regular sadness, something deeper. Like my eyes have been opened to how much darkness there really is in the world. And if I’m honest, it made me feel overwhelmed… and even angry. The kind of anger that makes you want to call everything out. But somewhere in that, I realized my heart was starting to feel hard and that scared me.
Because I never want to look more like the world than I look like Jesus.
God has taken me through such a deep spiritual journey recently, and this episode is really just me speaking from that place. No perfect outline, no polished message just me trying to process what God has been showing me with you guys.
I talk about what it feels like to see darkness clearly without losing hope… how reading the Old Testament made me realize evil never really stopped… and how God met me in a moment where I honestly felt exhausted and asked Him what the point of all of this even is.
And instead of pressure, like always, He met me with gentleness.
This episode is about learning how to hold righteous anger without letting it turn into sin… how to discern truth and remain hopeful… and how to stay like Christ in a world that can feel harsh and confusing.
Because following Jesus right now can feel complicated. The lines feel blurred. There are so many voices telling us what is right and wrong. And sometimes it feels easier to become hardened than to stay loving.
But Jesus didn’t call us to perform righteousness, He called us to abide in Him.
This is not a fear message.
 It’s not a “Jesus is coming tomorrow” message. It’s just a reminder that we are not fighting for victory, we are living from it.
Jesus has already overcome the world.
And even when everything feels heavy and confusing… He is still gentle with the weary.
So if you’ve been feeling spiritually tired… overwhelmed by the world… or unsure how to follow Jesus without losing your heart in the process,
you’re not alone. I promise you’re not. 

Love you guys!!
John 16:33
“In this world you will have trouble. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
