379 | Talk to Your Triggers: Receiving Peace That Settles Your Soul

Peace is something we receive from Christ, not something we manufacture. When anxiety rises, our instinct is often to work harder, worry more, or search for a way to regain control. But Jesus reminds us that peace is not found in our circumstances; it's found in His presence. In this episode, Angie continues the Cast Your Cares study and the Talk to Your Triggers framework by stepping into John 14:27 and the fourth "R": Receive. This conversation reminds us that even when our hearts are troubled, Jesus offers a peace the world cannot give. What you'll hear in this week's episode * What it means to have a troubled heart and why Jesus speaks directly to it * How anxiety stirs and unsettles our minds like water being shaken * A powerful illustration of receiving a gift we don't feel worthy of * Why Jesus offers peace instead of promising easier circumstances * How running to Christ brings calm and stability when fear begins to rise Resources Bible Study Sessions A four-week guided experience designed to help women study the Bible with more clarity, confidence, and consistency using the Step By Step method.

375 | Why Small Steps in Bible Study Still Count

Confidence in Bible study doesn’t come from mastering everything at once. It grows through small, faithful steps over time. So often, we expect ourselves to immediately understand Scripture in a way we would never expect with any other skill. When confidence doesn’t come quickly, it’s easy to feel intimidated, discouraged, or spiritually behind. In this episode, Angie steps away briefly from the Cast Your Cares series and dives into Zechariah 4:10. This conversation is a reminder that growth is often built through repetition, practice, and simply showing up. What you’ll hear in this week’s episode * Why small beginnings matter in Bible study * How unrealistic expectations can create intimidation and discouragement * The difference between consuming content and personally engaging with Scripture * A personal story about learning and growing in Bible study over time * The reminder that slow growth is still growth Resources Bible Study Sessions A new four-week guided experience designed to help women begin studying Scripture in a simple, approachable, and supportive environment.
