63 | Why You Can't Move Forward | The Difference Between Being Hurt and Staying Stuck

Have you ever felt stuck in the same cycle, wondering why nothing seems to change? While many of us have experienced real pain, disappointment, and hardship, there is a difference between being wounded and allowing our wounds to define us. In this episode, we're taking an honest look at victim thinking through the lens of Scripture. The book of Proverbs offers practical wisdom that challenges us to move from blame to responsibility, from helplessness to action, and from focusing on our circumstances to trusting God's guidance. Join me as we explore the subtle signs of a victim mindset, the biblical path toward personal responsibility, and how God invites us to walk in wisdom, freedom, and spiritual maturity. If you've been feeling stuck, discouraged, or powerless, this conversation will help you identify thought patterns that may be holding you back and show you how to begin moving forward with God's help.

62 | Smash the Scale | Body Image, Weight, Insecurity, and Identity in Christ

In this episode, we’re talking about body image, weight, insecurity, and the constant pressure women feel to measure their worth by a number on a scale. For so many women, the scale has become a source of validation, shame, fear, control, and identity. One number can determine your mood, your confidence, and even how worthy you feel. But God never called you to build your identity on your appearance. If you’ve ever struggled with body image, shame, insecurity, or feeling like you’ll finally be happy or “enough” once your body changes, this episode is for you. You are not the number on the scale. You are not your size. You are not your reflection. Your identity was never meant to be rooted in your body. It was always meant to be rooted in Christ. Stay Rooted!   I'd love to hear from you!

61 | When Faith Feels Messy | Anxiety, Doubt, Fear, and Identity in Christ with Eva Thiessen

Life is messy.  And for many Christians, faith doesn’t remove all the struggles, pain, anxiety, disappointment, or hard seasons we face in everyday life. In this episode, I sit down with Eva Thiessen for an honest conversation about her Christian testimony, her journey to faith, and the challenges she has faced as a believer. We talk about mental and emotional struggles, growing in your relationship with God, and what it looks like to trust Him when life feels heavy and uncertain. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, loneliness, shame, suffering, or feeling isolated in your Christian walk, this conversation will remind you that you are not alone.  This episode is for Christian women who want a deeper faith, authentic conversations about real life struggles, and encouragement rooted in God’s truth.

60 | Why Failure Doesn't Disqualify You From Your Calling | Faith and Purpose for Women

You trusted in Jesus for your salvation, but now you think you have to figure out how to live a life good enough to be deserving of that salvation, or for the goodness of God. You want to be good. You want to please God. But somewhere along the way, you start believing it’s up to you now. So you strive. You fail. You feel guilty. And you pull away from God. And the whole time, you’re missing the truth. Again. You are not saved by your performance. You are not kept by your performance. It has always been Jesus. We don’t move on from needing Him. If you feel stuck in that cycle, this episode will help you see why, and what it actually looks like to walk in freedom. Your problem is not that you keep failing. It’s that you think you’re supposed to succeed in your own strength. Your failure does not disqualify you. But rather, it reveals your need. And your need is what points you to Jesus. For Reflection Where am I still trusting what I do instead of trusting Jesus? What am I expecting from myself that God never asked of me? When I fail, do I run to God or pull away from Him?

59 | The Battle in Your Mind Is Blocking Your God Given Purpose

Do you feel like you were made for more than the life you’re living, but feel stuck, stagnant, or unsure where to start? The problem is not a lack of time. It is not a lack of ability. It is the battle in your mind. You hear thoughts like: “I’m not ready.” “I don’t know enough.” “What if I fail?” “I’m not creative.” Those thoughts feel true, but they are not aligned with what God says about you. Learn how to recognize the lies, replace them with truth, and take action even when fear is still present. Change what you believe. Change your life. Stay Rooted!
