Through personal testimony, the story of Mephibosheth, and biblical encouragement, this episode reminds us that God is still a Father to the fatherless and often shows His love through the people He places in our lives.

The man in the sycamore-fig tree

Episode 21: The Man in the Sycamore-Fig Tree 🌳 What would make a grown man climb a tree just to catch a glimpse of Jesus? In this episode of Unfinished but Faithful, Cristina explores the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19 and discovers that this story is about much more than a man in a tree. It’s about curiosity, being seen, and what happens when we pursue Jesus despite our fears, doubts, and distractions. Cristina also shares a personal and vulnerable reflection on recurring dreams about her teeth falling out, how anxiety has been showing up in unexpected ways, and what God has been teaching her about surrendering control, navigating spiritual warfare, and choosing faith over fear. If you’ve been carrying anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, battling discouragement, or simply wondering if God sees what you’re going through, this conversation is for you. Together, we’ll explore how Zacchaeus’ curiosity led him closer to Jesus—and how sometimes the very thing we’re searching for has been searching for us all along.

The Version of Me God Had to Break

Episode 19- The Version of Me God Had to Break Episode 19 is one of the most personal conversations I’ve had on this podcast so far. In this episode, we talk about the painful but necessary seasons where God begins breaking the versions of us built from survival, fear, pride, people pleasing, insecurity, and emotional dependence. Through the story of Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis 32, we unpack what it really means to be transformed by God — not just blessed by Him. I share honestly about: • survival mode vs surrender • why pruning seasons feel so painful • emotional dependence on people • healing, identity, and spiritual growth • why God sometimes isolates us before transforming us • the difference between performance and true surrender • learning to trust God while still healing If you’ve been feeling stretched, humbled, disconnected from old versions of yourself, or confused by the season you’re in… this episode is for you. You are not being abandoned. You are being transformed. Still becoming. Still faithful. 🤍 Thank you for being here and walking this journey of faith with me. — Cristina Host of Unfinished but Faithful Email us at unfinishedbutfaithfulpodcast@gmail.com Follow us on social media @unfinishedbutfaithfulpodcast Come chat with me on threads @itsnathalyaa

You Can’t Bring the Old You Into the New Season

Some seasons with God require more than change… they require transformation. In this episode of Unfinished but Faithful, Cristina talks about the painful but necessary process of leaving behind old versions of ourselves in order to step into the new season God is calling us into. Together, we dive into the story of the Israelites leaving Egypt, what it truly means to be spiritually transformed, and why healing often comes with grief, pruning, surrender, and discomfort. This episode is for anyone struggling to let go of old mindsets, survival habits, fear, people pleasing, control, or identities that no longer align with who God is calling them to become. We also reflect on powerful Scriptures including Isaiah 43:19, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 4:22-24, and John 15:2, exploring how God renews us from the inside out. Plus, Cristina shares a moving testimony from a listener about what brought them back to Jesus after 36 years of living as a Druid — a reminder that no one is beyond God’s reach and transformation is still possible. If you’ve been feeling stretched, uncomfortable, or caught between who you were and who God is calling you to become… this episode is for you. Still becoming. Still faithful. 🤍 Thank you for being here and walking this journey of faith with me. — Cristina Host of Unfinished but Faithful Email us at unfinishedbutfaithfulpodcast@gmail.com Follow us on social media @unfinishedbutfaithfulpodcast Come chat with me on threads @itsnathalyaa
