The Truth about Healing

The Lost Art of Being Present

We live in the most distracted era in human history. Our phones buzz constantly, our minds race from one thing to the next, and the idea of sitting still — truly still — feels almost impossible. But your horse notices. And so does God. In this warm, conversational episode, Ingela and Corrie explore what modern distraction is doing to our horsemanship, our faith, and our inner peace. Ingela shares how the constant pull of technology has eroded our ability to be present — not just with our horses, but with the people we love and with the Lord. She explains why the rest between exercises is just as important as the exercise itself, why your horse can feel the moment your mind drifts to your phone, and how learning stillness with God in the morning transforms the entire day. Corrie opens up about her own struggle to quiet her mind and the difference she has experienced when she truly connects in prayer versus just going through the motions. Together they offer a beautiful reminder: presence is a practice. Stillness is a skill. And both your horse and your Creator are waiting for you to simply be with them. If you have ever felt scattered, overstimulated, or unable to switch off, this episode will meet you right where you are.

When Your Horse Triggers You — It Is Not About the Horse

You went out to the arena with a plan. The horse was not cooperating. And suddenly you were not just frustrated — you were triggered. The peace was gone, the pressure was rising, and you either shut down or pushed harder. Sound familiar? In this episode, Ingela and Corrie get deeply honest about what really happens when we lose our peace during a training session. Ingela explains why the real issue is almost never the horse — it is the lies we believe about our own value, rooted in unhealed places in our hearts. She walks through a powerful, practical framework: how to approach your horse with a sense of eternity instead of time pressure, why having an agenda sets you up to hit your stuff, what it actually looks like when your childhood wounds get triggered by a horse that will not canter, and the exact steps she takes to return to peace in the middle of a session — including a prayer she prays to ask the Holy Spirit to move her from the triggered part of her heart back into her true self. Whether you have ever walked away from your horse feeling guilty, frustrated, or defeated, this episode will change how you understand those moments. It is not about the horse. It is about your heart. And healing is possible.

The Goal Is Not the Problem — Your Discipline Is

You love horses. You have goals. You know what you want to achieve. So why does life keep getting in the way? In this episode, Ingela and Corrie have an honest, practical conversation about the thing nobody really wants to talk about: discipline. Corrie opens up about the reality of working 12-hour nursing shifts and coming home too tired to do anything with her horses. Ingela shares how a former boss taught her to reclaim an entire hour every day simply by restructuring her routine — and why even 15 minutes of intentional horse time moves you closer to your goal than three skipped days ever will. But this episode goes far beyond horsemanship. Ingela breaks down exactly how she builds a fitness plan for an event horse over 12 weeks, draws a powerful parallel to human fitness, and then ties it all together with the often-neglected discipline of the spirit — scheduling time with God the way you would schedule a dentist appointment. Whether you are a busy professional trying to find time for your horse, a rider wondering how to get your horse fit, or someone who knows their spiritual life needs more structure, this episode is the honest push you have been looking for. Spirit, soul, and body — discipline in all three is what gets you to the goal. Want to learn more about Ingela Larsson Smith's work?

The Truth about Healing

Why do we get hurt — and why do even faithful believers sometimes wait so long for healing? In this deeply honest follow-up conversation, Ingela and Corrie open the Word and their own stories to explore what Scripture really promises about healing, and how to walk it out when your body hasn't caught up yet. Ingela shares a powerful personal testimony of three consecutive cross-country falls that led her to a heart-level revelation about childhood death wishes, open doors to the enemy, and the difference between being a new creation in spirit and the ongoing sanctification of the soul. Together the ladies unpack Psalm 91's "if," the myth that sickness is sent to teach us a lesson, the simple truth that faith is trust, and why agreeing with the enemy through our words can quietly shape our reality. If you've been discouraged in a long season of pain — in your body, your riding, or your relationship with your horse — this episode will strengthen your spirit, challenge your theology, and remind you that God's promise of healing is never running out.
