You can know the Bible, love God, and still feel unsure about what He is saying to you personally. That uncertainty does not mean you are failing spiritually. God may already be speaking through Scripture, nature, dreams, other people, or ordinary moments—but you may be overlooking what He is doing within them.

In this episode, I share June's story from the Heal with God Signature Program and how learning to recognize God's voice more tangibly helped her deepen her trust in Him, understand her identity, steady her emotions, and find the courage to move forward.

• Recognize four purposes in God's communication: teaching, correction, preparation, and equipping

• Understand why God's loving correction is different from condemnation

• Notice repeated themes without forcing an immediate interpretation

• Move from simply hearing truth to responding with one faithful step

• Replace "I don't hear God" with the identity of someone learning His voice

Listen now and ask God which of these four purposes He may already be using in your everyday life.

Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:16-17; John 10:27

Prayer: God, open my awareness to the ways You are teaching, correcting, preparing, and equipping me. Help me recognize Your voice, test what I hear against Scripture, and respond with trust.

Declaration: I am not spiritually defective. I am learning to recognize the voice of my Shepherd. God is not withholding Himself from me.

For seven years, I lived with depression without ever asking why I was sad in the first place. I cried myself to sleep, woke from a dead sleep to vomit, and eventually accepted that this was simply how life was going to be. But as I began pursuing Jesus, taking communion, and paying attention to what He was doing around me, my mind was slowly being retrained. In this episode, I'm sharing the two Biblical healing practices that helped me stop rehearsing what pain had done and begin remembering what Jesus had done—and was still doing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Why depression can keep pulling your attention back toward painful memories

How to recognize what your mind has been rehearsing without shaming yourself

Why communion is a practical way to remember Jesus' finished work

How Biblical, shared, and personal testimonies can strengthen hope

Why taking thoughts captive is simple, but requires intentional practice

How supported walking out can help when information alone has not changed the pattern

Listen now, then ask God to show you what your mind has been rehearsing and which testimony of His faithfulness you need to remember today.

Scripture: "They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony." — Revelation 12:11

Prayer: Jesus, thank You that what happened to me does not get the final word. Show me what my mind has been rehearsing, and bring Your faithfulness back to my remembrance. Help me take every thought captive and walk in the freedom You have already made possible. Amen.

Declaration: I am not defined by depression or by what happened to me. I am an overcomer through Jesus, and I will train my attention toward truth and hope.

Betrayal can do more than break trust. It can make you question your worth, your identity, your ability to hear God, and whether healing is actually possible for you. In this episode, Heather talks with Kristina Joy about healing after betrayal, rebuilding safety with Jesus, and learning how to stop letting shame name who you are.

This conversation is for the Christian who has been hurt, hidden, or emotionally guarded and still wonders why they feel stuck after praying, forgiving, or trying to move forward. You are not who betrayal told you you were. You are still loved, still seen, and still invited into freedom with Jesus.

You'll gain:

• A clearer understanding of how shame attaches itself to betrayal

• Language for the lies betrayal can create around your identity

• Encouragement for healing with Jesus without hiding or self-punishment

• Insight into why safety matters in emotional and spiritual healing

• A first step for bringing shame into the light without condemnation

Listen now and connect with Kristina Joy through her podcast, Intimacy After Infidelity: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/intimacy-after-infidelity-cut-contact-rebuild-trust/id1691443054

Scripture: Romans 8:1 says, "So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus."

Prayer: Jesus, thank You that shame does not get to name me. Show me where betrayal has shaped the way I see myself, others, or You. Lead me into truth, safety, and healing. Help me receive Your love in the places I have wanted to hide. Amen.

Declaration: I am not who betrayal told me I was. I belong to Jesus. I can bring my pain into the light, receive grace, and walk in freedom.

Anger can feel like the whole problem when it's the thing coming out of your mouth, affecting your relationships, and leaving you regretting how you responded. In this episode, I'm letting you listen in on Keenan's real live coaching from a Heal with God Workshop as we slow down, ask God questions, and follow the anger somewhere Keenan had never fully connected before.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why Keenan came into coaching wanting freedom from anger outbursts

• The childhood connection that surfaced as he talked about feeling unheard

• The moment anger led deeper into loneliness, worth, and identity

• What Keenan recognized about depending on other people's opinions

• The prayer and declarations that helped him reconnect with his identity in God

• Why Keenan ended the coaching feeling more free, peaceful, and secure in God's heart

Listen now and consider whether the symptom you've been fighting may be pointing toward something deeper God wants to help you see.

Declaration: I am a child of God. I am not abandoned. I am not alone. My struggle is not my identity. My identity comes from God.

Marriage can quietly become frustrating when you feel like you are the only one trying to grow, heal, communicate, or change.

I know how easy it is to start focusing on everything your spouse is not doing. But sometimes the first place God wants to bring healing is not in their heart. It is in ours.

In this episode, I am sharing four ways to heal your marriage as a Christian without waiting for your spouse to change. We are talking about unmet needs, expectations, forgiveness, judgment, and what happens when we accidentally make our spouse responsible for giving us something only God can fully provide.

• Why your spouse can be a vessel God uses, but cannot become your source of peace, joy, love, or security

• How to recognize when you are waiting for your spouse to heal before giving yourself permission to heal

• Why disappointment often points to hidden expectations, comparison, or a fantasy of what marriage "should" look like

• How words like "always" and "never" may reveal unforgiveness and judgments you have been collecting

• A simple way to ask God what He wants to heal in your own heart instead of constantly diagnosing your spouse

• Why forgiving quickly can protect your heart from bitterness and emotional distance

Listen now and ask God one honest question: What are You showing me about my heart in my marriage?

Declaration:
God, You said Jesus is the cornerstone. Therefore, I am built on Jesus, and I will receive my love, peace, joy, and security from You. I will forgive quickly, release judgments, and let You lead my healing.

Forgiveness can feel tender, especially when you've already prayed about the same pain for years and still feel the sting of what happened.

In this conversation, I'm sitting down with Kathleen Johnson to talk about the power of forgiveness for Christian healing—not as a religious phrase, not as pretending it didn't hurt, and not as forcing yourself to trust someone who hasn't rebuilt trust.

Kathleen shares how unforgiveness can become a block in our spiritual, emotional, mental, and even physical healing. We talk about what forgiveness is, what it is not, and why releasing unforgiveness can open the door for God to reach the wound we've been trying so hard to protect.

Key Takeaways:

• Forgiveness is not the same as trust
• Forgiveness does not mean giving up on justice
• Forgiveness does not mean what happened was okay
• Unforgiveness can keep us tied to the person or pain we're trying to move past
• God can heal in layers, even when the process takes longer than we expected
• When God heals us, our story can become part of how we help someone else heal too

Listen now and ask God if there is any place where unforgiveness has been acting like protection, but is actually keeping the wound closed off from His healing.

You may feel like God is silent when you pray, especially when you're trying your hardest to hear Him clearly. That tension can create confusion, self-doubt, and the belief that something is wrong with your ability to hear God.

But often, the issue isn't silence—it's recognition.

In this episode, I share a simple but powerful shift in how hearing God actually works. Through a real-life moment watching birds feed and a coaching breakthrough inside the Heal with God Workshop, you'll see how God often speaks in patterns, awareness, and subtle clarity rather than obvious answers.

You'll also learn a 4-step process to begin recognizing His voice more clearly and consistently in your everyday life.

• Feeling like God is silent often comes from misunderstanding how He speaks

• Hearing God is a learned awareness, not a spiritual "ability you either have or don't"

• God often speaks through repetition, impressions, Scripture alignment, and peace

• You can train your awareness by slowing down and asking intentional questions

• Discernment is what turns hearing into clarity and direction

• Application is where trust in God actually becomes healing

Listen now and begin learning how to recognize God's voice with clarity instead of confusion.

I've noticed that a lot of people can feel like they've already dealt with something in their life, but it keeps showing up again in different forms. When that happens, it's easy to assume something is wrong with you or that you're not actually making progress. But often what's really happening is that there's still something deeper underneath the surface that hasn't been fully seen yet.

In this episode from a Heal with God workshop, I walk through a real coaching moment with Shawna where her cycle of inconsistency was exposed at the root level. What looked like a discipline issue was actually tied to something internal around what feels safe when change begins to take place.

Key Takeaways:

• Inconsistency is often not about discipline, but about internal beliefs that get activated when change starts happening

• When something in me feels unsafe about growth or change, I may unknowingly pull back into old patterns

• God often uses repeated cycles in my life to reveal something deeper that needs attention, not to condemn me

• Awareness of what's happening beneath the behavior brings clarity and breaks the cycle of shame

• Healing happens at the root level, not just through trying harder to change the outward behavior

Listen now and reflect on where I may be seeing repeated patterns in my life that are actually pointing me toward something God wants to heal more deeply within me.

Scripture, Prayer & Declaration
"God, You said You search my heart and know my ways. Therefore I am and I will allow You to reveal what is beneath the surface so I can walk in truth, peace, and freedom. I am and I will trust You with what You are uncovering and let You heal what I cannot fix on my own."
