What if the reason you’ve felt stuck… confused… or afraid of “missing it”… isn’t because you failed God…

…but because you’ve been carrying old stories He never asked you to hold?

In this episode, we return to the porch for a tender, honest, and Spirit-led conversation about calling, purpose, healing, and freedom.

Stephanie shares her personal journey of wrestling with “finding” her calling, releasing fear and regret, and discovering that calling isn’t something we chase — it’s something we live.

Together, we explore how past wounds, regrets, and lies can quietly shape our present — and how Jesus lovingly invites us to release them and step into the story He is redeeming.

☕ This is a gentle yet powerful episode about choosing your life, trusting God’s timing, and learning to live fully in faith, fire, and freedom.

Why fear of “missing your calling” keeps so many believers stuck Stephanie’s story of music, loss, regret, and surrender What the Bible really teaches about calling and purpose How old stories and wounds shape present decisions Why the enemy targets identity and purpose How Paul’s story models freedom from shame and regret What it means to rewrite your story with truth Why gratitude helps renew and rewire the mind A guided “black box” prayer for releasing burdens to Jesus How to recognize God’s “breadcrumbs” in your past Why calling is lived one step at a time A powerful invitation to choose your life today How freedom becomes daily, not just emotional Why God wastes nothing in your story

Philippians 3:13–14 Romans 8:30 2 Timothy 1:9 Ephesians 4:1 Matthew 28:19 Hebrews 13:5 Deuteronomy 31:6 Psalm 139:16 Jeremiah 29:11 Romans 12:2 Romans 11:36

This episode is an invitation to breathe, release, and remember who you are in Christ.

You are not behind. You are not disqualified. You are not forgotten.

You are called to your life — right now.

This podcast is dedicated to the One who called me, redeemed me, and fills me with fire and freedom.

Jesus, this is Yours.

May every word, every story, and every heart that hears it glorify You alone. Use this space to awaken faith, ignite fire, and lead Your children into true freedom in You.

Created through Him, for Him, and to Him. (Romans 11:36)

What if the struggle you feel isn’t because you don’t know the truth… but because you haven’t yet come into agreement with it?

In this episode, we pull up a chair on the porch and slow things down — not to re-teach, but to integrate.

Building on Episodes 02, 03, and 04, Stephanie invites you into a deeper conversation about identity, worth, belief, and renewing the mind. This is a porch check-in — a pause to notice what’s already shifting, to remove shame, and to let truth move from head knowledge into heart belief.

Through Scripture, honest reflection, breath, and Spirit-led practice, you’ll be reminded that worth is not something you earn or fix — it was proven at the cross. And that real freedom begins when we come into agreement with what God says about who we are.

☕ This is an integration episode. A “let’s fill in the gaps” episode. A “let’s go deeper” episode — with Jesus at the center.

• Why identity is often the root of many struggles we face
• The difference between knowing truth and believing it
• How coming into agreement with God bridges head knowledge and heart belief
• Why worth was proven at the cross — full stop
• A gentle porch check-in to help you notice growth without shame
• Why awareness itself is evidence of transformation
• Why mornings can feel mentally heavy — and how to respond with compassion
• How the Creation Cycle helps expose false-self thought patterns
• What a “bridge thought” is and how Scripture models it beautifully
• Why mindset tools must never be separated from Jesus
• How belief fuels action and why “waiting on God” doesn’t mean inaction
• A simple, Spirit-led daily practice to move from awareness into freedom

Genesis 1:26–27 Psalm 139:13–16 Psalm 23 Mark 9:24 Romans 5:8 Romans 7–8 Romans 12:2 Ephesians 1:3–4 Ephesians 1:13–14 Ephesians 2:1 2 Corinthians 5:21 John 1:12 John 3:16 1 John 1:9 1 Peter 1:18–19 Matthew 6:21

This episode is a gentle pause after the foundation-laying conversations — a moment to breathe, reflect, and let what you’ve been learning truly land.

You don’t have to rush. You don’t have to strive. And you don’t have to earn what’s already been given.

What if the emotions you feel every day aren’t the problem… but the doorway to understanding what’s really shaping your life?

In this episode, we pour some coffee and bring everything together as we talk about The Creation Cycle — the simple, powerful way God designed your mind to work.

Building on Episodes 02 and 03, Stephanie gently explains how your thoughts shape your emotions, your emotions drive your actions, and your actions create the results you experience. You’ll learn why emotions are not sinful, weak, or something to ignore — but important signals that help you understand what you’re believing.

Through Scripture, real-life examples, and a renewed way of seeing yourself, you’ll discover why Scripture doesn’t tell us to stuff our feelings or try harder… but instead calls us to renew our minds — and how that renewal leads to real freedom.

🌿 In This Episode, You’ll Hear: • What the Creation Cycle is and why it matters • Why emotions are not bad — they are signals, not shame • How thoughts create emotions, emotions drive action, and action creates results • Where your God-given agency actually lives • A real-life example of an unhelpful creation cycle — and a renewed one • Why a renewed mind leads to a renewed experience of life • A gentle practice to help you notice what’s shaping your days

📖 Scripture Mentioned: Romans 12:2 (AMPC)
