45. Encountering God Changes You More Than Trying Harder

47. Feeling Stuck? Break Free From the Lies Holding You Back

Is there an area of your life where you feel stuck, hopeless, anxious, discouraged, or lacking peace? Often, those feelings are connected to lies we have believed. We call them limiting beliefs because they hold us back from living in the freedom, confidence, and identity God created us for. In this episode, Josh and Corina talk about what limiting beliefs are, how they become strongholds in our minds, and how to identify the lies that may be shaping the way we see ourselves, God, and our circumstances. Corina shares honestly about struggling with the lies “I’m not enough” and “I’m too much,” and how God continued to speak truth into her identity as His daughter. You’ll learn how limiting beliefs often show up through familiar thoughts, emotional reactions, repeated patterns, and areas where you lack hope, joy, peace, or freedom. Josh and Corina also walk through a simple process for letting God lead the conversation, listening for His voice, renouncing lies, receiving truth, and renewing your mind with what God says. https://joshandcorina.com/coachingFREE 5-Steps To Overcome Limiting Beliefs Guide [https://joshandcorina.com/5-steps]https://joshandcorina.com/coaching Clarity Coaching with Josh & Corina [https://joshandcorina.com/coaching] Overcome Limiting Beliefs Facebook Group [https://www.facebook.com/groups/overcomelimitingbeliefs/] Transformed by Truth book [https://a.co/d/bjYXyaX] 40 Days to Peace devotional [https://a.co/d/iXYgnt5] Support our podcast [https://believeandbecome.castos.com/donate?_gl=1*66vghi*_gcl_au*MjgzMTc2MjIuMTc1MzQ3OTQ1Ng..]

46. How to Move Forward When God's Will Feels Unclear

Making decisions can feel overwhelming when you’re stuck in indecision, anxiety, and all the “what ifs.” In this episode, Josh and Corina talk about how to hear God for your next step and make decisions with Him from a place of peace instead of fear. They share a personal story about stepping away from a long-time ministry position and church family, and how following God’s peace helped them make one of the hardest decisions of their lives. If you’ve been asking God for clarity, confirmation, or direction, this conversation will help you slow down, quiet the noise, and recognize how God may already be leading you. You’ll learn why practicing hearing God in the small things matters, how to follow peace, why confirmation is important, and how to stay open to God’s course correction along the way.

45. Encountering God Changes You More Than Trying Harder

Have you ever tried to change by trying harder, only to end up feeling stuck, discouraged, or frustrated? In this episode, Josh and Corina talk about why true transformation does not come from striving, willpower, or simply gathering more information. Real heart-level transformation happens when we encounter God’s presence. As we behold Him, hear His voice, and make space for Him to speak, He changes us from the inside out. Josh shares a personal story from high school when God met him in an ordinary moment on a choir tour bus and spoke identity, calling, and direction into his life through Scripture. Corina also shares a powerful story of encountering God’s grace during a youth camp moment centered around forgiveness, and how that moment began a deep work of transformation in her heart. You’ll hear biblical examples of people like Moses and Paul, who were marked and transformed by encounters with God, and learn how you can make space to encounter Him in your own everyday life. In this episode, you’ll learn: * Why trying harder is not enough to produce lasting transformation * How God’s presence changes us from the inside out * Why encounters with God often impart identity, calling, and grace * How Scripture can become a place of personal encounter * Why expectation helps us recognize what God is doing * How to ask God questions, listen, and write down what He says * Why acting on what God speaks is key to transformation Josh and Corina also share practical action steps: * Come expectant when you meet with God * Give Him room to speak * Ask questions and listen * Write down what you sense He is saying * Act on what He shows you This episode will help you: * Stop relying on striving and self-effort * Encounter God in everyday moments * Hear God’s voice more clearly * Receive fresh identity, calling, and grace * Partner with God for real transformation * Become more like Jesus as you behold Him Clarity Coaching with Josh & Corina [https://joshandcorina.com/coaching] Overcome Limiting Beliefs Facebook Group [https://www.facebook.com/groups/overcomelimitingbeliefs/] FREE 5-Steps To Overcome Limiting Beliefs PDF [https://joshandcorina.com/5-steps] Transformed by Truth book [https://a.co/d/bjYXyaX] 40 Days to Peace devotional [https://a.co/d/iXYgnt5] Support our podcast [https://believeandbecome.castos.com/donate?_gl=1*66vghi*_gcl_au*MjgzMTc2MjIuMTc1MzQ3OTQ1Ng..]

43. Hear God Again Through Holy Spirit Led Devotions

In this episode, Josh and Corina talk about how to protect your devotional life from becoming just another box to check.

If you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent in prayer or Bible reading, this conversation will bring freedom, grace, and a fresh perspective. They unpack why devotional time is not about earning something from God, accomplishing a spiritual goal, or proving you are a “good Christian.” Instead, it is about heart-to-heart connection with the Lord, learning to recognize His presence, and building a vibrant, life-giving relationship with Him.
