This conversation is honest, a little messy, and full of hope.

We’re talking about what it looks like to meet God in your brokenness, not once you’ve cleaned it all up. From wrestling with abandonment and feeling unlovable, to slowly learning how to trust God as a good Father… this episode is about letting truth speak louder than the lies.

We also get into Bible journaling, not for perfection or aesthetics, but as a way to slow down, stay present, and actually connect with God.

If you’ve ever felt like God’s promises are for everyone else but you… this is your reminder: He hasn’t left, and He’s not going anywhere.

You don’t have to have it all together.
You just have to come honest.

Scriptures mentioned:

• Romans 8:28
• James 1:2
• James 4:8
• Psalms 73:26

What if the thing you thought was helping you cope… was actually the thing quietly destroying you?

Struggling with addiction, codependency, or feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns?

In this episode of A Messy Amen, I sit down with my friend Alyssa to talk about addiction, trauma, and what it really looks like to surrender your life to God, not just in words, but in the hard, uncomfortable, “I don’t want to let go of this” kind of way.

Alyssa shares her powerful testimony of overcoming drug and alcohol addiction, breaking free from codependency, and learning that surrender wasn’t about giving God pieces, it was about giving Him everything.

This conversation is honest, heavy at times, and full of the kind of moments that make you stop and think, God really does meet people in the middle of their mess.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Addiction and recovery through faith in God
• Codependency, control, and surrendering relationships
• Healing from trauma, anger, and past abuse
• Learning to hear God’s voice in the middle of the mess
• Identity in Christ and moving from brokenness to restoration

If you’ve ever tried to numb the pain, control the outcome, or hold everything together on your own, this episode will meet you there. “I thought I was just having fun… until I couldn’t stop.”

Because no matter how far you feel gone, God is still in the business of restoration.

Scriptures mentioned:

• Jeremiah 33:3
• Ephesians 3:20
• Romans 12:19-21
• Matthew 6:33

What does it look like to trust God when things feel uncertain—or even uncomfortable?

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Teresa to talk about learning to hear God’s voice and follow His lead in real, everyday moments. From wrestling with failure and intrusive thoughts to stepping out in bold faith with complete strangers, Teresa shares how God has met her in both the tension and the breakthrough.

We also talk about how different our callings can look in different seasons, whether you’re out traveling and evangelizing or at home raising your family, and why both matter deeply in God’s Kingdom.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re hearing God correctly or wondered if you’re doing enough, this conversation is a reminder that He’s not asking for perfection, just your willingness to trust Him right where you are.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

• Learning to recognize and trust God’s voice
• Moving from fear and doubt into bold obedience
• Walking through failure, depression, and spiritual warfare
• Real-life stories of sharing faith in everyday moments
• Trusting God in different seasons and callings
• Why love—not perfection—is where it all begins

Key Takeaway

You don’t have to have everything figured out—you just have to be willing to trust God in the tension.
