370 | Calming Your Mind and Finding Peace in God

Peace isn’t something you have to chase; it’s something you learn to rest in. So often, when life feels uncertain, we find ourselves searching… thinking harder, praying differently, looking for signs that will finally help us settle down. In this episode, Angie continues the Cast Your Cares study by stepping into Psalm 131:2. This conversation invites us to move from frantic searching to quiet trust as we grow in faith and learn that God is already near, already at work, and fully able to provide what we need.   What you’ll hear in this week’s episode * What it means to “calm and quiet” your soul in anxious moments * Why restless searching often keeps us from experiencing true peace * How spiritual maturity leads to deeper trust and contentment in God * A powerful picture of moving from frantic need to peaceful rest * The reminder that God’s presence, not proof, is what brings lasting peace   Resources Step By Step Starter Kit A simple, guided resource to help you open Scripture with confidence and study one verse at a time alongside the podcast.

368 | What Pressure Reveals About Our Faith

What pressure reveals doesn’t have to define you; it can remind you what’s true. When pressure rises, it has a way of exposing what we believe. Fear, accusation, and doubt can feel loud and convincing, making it seem like what we’re facing has more power than it actually does. In this episode, Angie continues the Cast Your Cares study by stepping into Revelation 12:11. This conversation reminds us that the enemy’s accusations don’t have the final say because the victory has already been won through the blood of Jesus and the truth of our testimony.   What you’ll hear in this week’s episode * How pressure can reveal what we believe in moments of fear and anxiety * How remembering God’s work in your life protects you from deception * Why your personal story with God is powerful, even when it feels simple * How the enemy uses accusation and how truth disarms those lies * The reminder that victory comes through Jesus, not through our own strength   Resources Step By Step Starter Kit A simple, guided resource to help you open Scripture with confidence and study one verse at a time alongside the podcast.

367 | Letting Go of What You Were Never Meant to Carry

You don’t have to carry what God never asked you to hold. So often, we carry more than we realize: responsibilities, expectations, decisions, and the quiet weight of anxiety that builds over time. In this episode, Angie begins the Cast Your Cares study by slowing down in 1 Peter 5:7. This conversation invites us to see that releasing our anxiety isn’t passive; it’s an intentional act of trust.   What you’ll hear in this week’s episode * Why we often carry more than we were meant to hold * What it really means to “cast” your anxiety on God * The difference between quietly holding burdens and actively releasing them * A powerful illustration of what it looks like to carry too much on your own * How humility and trust help protect us from becoming overwhelmed   Resources Step By Step Starter Kit A simple, guided resource to help you open Scripture with confidence and study one verse at a time alongside the podcast.

In this episode, Angie begins a new conversation on anxiety and faith, rooted in 2 Corinthians 12:9.
