This week on New Way Voice Podcast, we’re diving into a conversation so many of us struggle with: Why am I worthy of God’s love?

Condemning voices — from others and even ourselves — along with the grip of sin, can make us forget just how loved and chosen we are. But God’s love isn’t based on perfection; it’s based on grace.

Tempted, Tried, and Still Choosing Abstinence

This week, your host Shania Shaw is celebrating 2 years of walking in abstinence as of July 2nd, 2025. In this powerful episode, she opens up about her personal journey—why she chose abstinence, the challenges along the way, and why it’s worth it.

We’re diving into why abstinence matters as a Christian, how sex outside of marriage can lead to emotional, spiritual, and even physical consequences, how to stand strong even when temptation comes knocking, and being grateful for the Lord’s protection, grace and mercy.

Because yes, we’re human. We have desires. But not everything we desire is good for us.

Have you ever found yourself in a season where you’re praying, fasting, obeying, and fully devoted to Christ—and yet, nothing seems to be happening?

In today’s episode, your host, Shania Shaw, gets transparent about where she currently stands with God. She opens up about those moments when you don’t know what to do, but you hold on to the truth of Psalm 46:10: “Be still, and know that I am God.”

Life can be overwhelming, and God will surely test your faith. But through it all, you must learn to stand firm and trust that He knows what’s best.

This week, we’re back with Part 2 of “Trusting God Through It All.”

In this episode, we go even deeper—continuing Jamya’s testimony about overcoming a weed addiction, both of us denouncing what doesn’t align with God, knowing your worth as a woman in Christ, and so much more.

It’s real, raw, and Holy Spirit-led. Don’t miss it.

In today’s episode, we’re joined by Jamya Latham from Chicago to talk about what it really means to trust God through it ALL. The conversation was so powerful, we had to split it into two parts—Part 1 is here, and Part 2 drops next week. Holy Spirit led from start to finish and we followed.

We dive into real and relevant topics like:

-Trusting God with your finances

-How to navigate relationships and trust people wisely

-Not idolizing emotions, but standing firm in faith

-Jamya’s personal journey of getting to know God—from childhood to now (the start of it)

If you’ve ever struggled with faith, trust, or emotional clarity, this episode will speak to you in a deep way.

Be sure to tune in next week for Part 2.

Endurance isn’t just surviving—it’s becoming.

On this episode, we invite Alicia Renea as she comes on and opens up about a pivotal season in her life that began in 2019 when she moved back to Memphis after serving as Miss TSU. On the surface, it looked like she was thriving, but behind the scenes, she was dealing with who she was and more.

Through unplanned changes, unclear perspectives, and the emotional weight of transition, she discovered the true meaning of endurance—withstanding hardship and still choosing to grow. This story is a reflection of her personal journey, but it speaks to anyone who’s ever felt lost after success, unsure of their purpose beyond performance.

She shares how she learned to rebuild herself from the inside out, and how enduring life’s most difficult moments led her back to her true identity in the Lord.

Season 1, Episode 4: Let’s Be Honest Here…

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the importance of being honest—with God and with ourselves.

We’re talking about what it really looks like to grow in your relationship with the Lord. That growth starts with raw honesty: Where do you truly stand? What are you holding onto in the world that you haven’t trusted God with yet?

To experience real healing and transformation, you have to be willing to get uncomfortable. Acknowledge where you struggle. Ask yourself—what people, places, or habits are filling a void you don’t believe God can?

This is a space for truth, growth, and grace. Everything shared comes from a place of love.

Let this episode challenge and encourage you.

Enjoy & be blessed!

Let’s talk about FAITH! Faith is essential when walking with God. In fact, it’s impossible to please the Lord without faith (Hebrews 11:6). It’s also important to recognize the difference between walking by faith and simply taking a risk.

If we love God like we say we do, we must understand that He knows what’s best for us.

Most importantly, we need to have faith in God and believe that He is who He says He is—especially when He gives us instructions to move.

Enjoy!
