Growing Through It

You’ve been avoiding that thing.
Maybe it’s one thing. Maybe it’s a few.
But deep down… you know exactly what this episode is about.
For so long, I believed I had to wait for peace before I moved, before I started something, ended something, or took the next step God was asking of me. I thought peace was the sign. The confirmation. The green light.
But Scripture tells a different story.
In this episode, we’re talking about why God doesn’t always give peace before obedience and why waiting for the “right feeling” might be the very thing keeping you stuck. We’ll walk through what the Bible actually shows us about faith, obedience, fear and how God so often meets us after the yes, not before it.
If you’ve been scared… unsure… anxious… or procrastinating until you feel ready, this conversation is for you. Obedience doesn’t require confidence. It doesn’t require certainty. And it doesn’t require all the right emotions. 
It only requires trust. Trust in Him.
“Blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” — Luke 11:28

Scripture Mentioned:
Luke 11:28 · Matthew 26:36–46 · Luke 22:39–46 · Genesis 12:1–4 · Joshua 3 · Matthew 14:22–33 · Deuteronomy 20:8 · John 10:27 · Matthew 4:1–11 · 2 Corinthians 5:7 · Romans 8:28 · John 14:15 · Matthew 6:11 · Matthew 22:37–39

Special Note:
After recording this episode and sitting with God a little longer, there were a few things He kept putting on my heart that I wanted to add here and will talk about so much more in the future.
Obedience isn’t only something we push through when it’s hard. Over time, it actually can become something we delight in, because it draws us closer to God. “I delight to do your will, O my God” (Psalm 40:8). I know I’m learning this so much right now. 
Obedience and disobedience also doesn’t just affect us. It impacts the people around us in ways we may never fully see. The way we live, love, and follow God can point others back to Him (Matthew 5:16).
Something else I’m learning is that obedience isn’t something we’re meant to put off forever. Tomorrow isn’t promised. “You do not know what tomorrow will bring” (James 4:14). Sometimes when God asks us to move, there’s an urgency to it, not out of fear, but out of love.
And lastly, because you guys know I never want to sell you a prosperity gospel, being obedient doesn’t mean everything will go well or feel easy. Some of my most obedient moments actually led me into the hardest seasons of my life. Obedience isn’t a guarantee of comfort. Jesus Himself obeyed the Father and still walked through suffering (Matthew 26:36–46). But God promises He will be with us. “I will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9).
If this episode stirred something in you, keep bringing it to God. He sees your heart, He’s patient with you, and He will meet you as you walk with Him. 🤍
Love you guys!!

A lot of us are “locking in” this year, but what does that actually look like with God?
Especially when faith doesn’t feel intense anymore… when you’re still showing up, but you don’t always feel God the way everyone else says they do.
Every New Year, we hear messages that fire us up: “reset your faith”, “get back on track”, “go harder this time” but so often they don’t give us the tools to actually stay with God once the excitement fades.
This episode is about something deeper than motivation.
I talk about what happens when faith shifts from feelings to knowing. When the spiritual highs fade and Jesus invites you into something quieter, steadier, and more secure.
If you’ve been wondering whether you lost your fire or outgrew it, this conversation might bring a lot of peace.
This is about letting this be the year and the way you live the rest of your life where you and God stop going back and forth. Where your faith isn’t dependent on how you feel, but rooted in who He is.
Quiet doesn’t always mean distant. Sometimes it means you’re close enough to hear His voice.

Scriptures Mentioned
Hebrews 5:12-14 • 1 Kings 19:9-12

This episode is for the girl who’s becoming, but still surrounded by the things that shaped her wounds. The one who feels caught in the in-between season, the waiting season, where you’re no longer who you used to be, but you’re still not who you’re praying to become. It’s for the one who loves God, wants to heal, and is trying to grow, yet keeps finding herself triggered by the same family dynamics, the same emotions, the same questions.
It’s about that quiet fear that whispers, “If God is really working, why does this still hurt?” And the ache of becoming in public, without the space to fall apart quietly or figure things out unseen.
In this episode, I share how God met me right there, not after the healing, but inside the tension and gently reminded me that becoming often feels like breaking long before it ever feels like growth.
If you feel exposed, unfinished, and tired of being strong, you’re not alone. God sees you. 

Scriptures Mentioned
Isaiah 43:19 · Genesis 16:13 · Ezekiel 37 · Philippians 3:13 · Isaiah 61:3
