Hey sis, welcome back to the Possess Your Peace podcast! We’re continuing in Part 2 of Phase 2 of the “How to Overcome Anxiety” series, which is all about perspective and renewing your mind! In this episode, I’m diving deep into what it really means to walk by faith and not by sight. I had my notes ready, and the Holy Spirit rejected them and took over instead. LOL If you’ve been praying for peace but still feel anxious, stuck, or afraid, this message is for you. Faith isn’t just believing that God can, but it's acting like He will. The Bible says faith without works is dead, and in this episode, I share how applying God’s Word to your daily life will transform your mind, your habits, and ultimately help you possess your peace.

You’ll learn how to shift your perspective from fear to faith, how to stand firm even when life feels uncertain, and why you should be seeking progress in this process, rather than perfection. Faith is not a magic wand, but one of the tools that teaches us how to trust that God’s plan still works even when life doesn’t look perfect.

And don’t forget that our Girl, Stand Up! Revival is happening November 21st in Wills Point, Texas! Come experience real revival, real healing, and real peace with us. I hope to see you there! ____________________________________________

Hey friend, welcome back to the Possess Your Peace podcast!

First, check in with me. How has this week been since starting your journey? What's working? What's not? Leave a review and let me know!

This week, we’re stepping into Phase Two of the “How to Overcome Anxiety” series. Last week, we talked about grounding your faith and standing firm on what you believe. Today, I’m sharing how to refresh and renew your mind by setting boundaries, decluttering the things that feed your fears, and replacing them with habits that build peace.

So many of us allow too many things to have access to our hearts and minds. But if you’re ready to take your peace back, it starts with closing those doors and making room for God again. In this episode, I walk you through how to set real boundaries to help you heal from the past and take your peace back! You will also hear how forgiveness is the most powerful boundary to set. (Listen to get what I mean!)

If this episode speaks to you, don’t forget to join me this November for the Girl, Stand Up! Revival in Wills Point, Texas a powerful, faith-filled weekend where God is bringing dry bones back to life. Link below to RSVP! ____________________________________________

It's finally here! Honestly, I don't know why I waited so long to give this to you. In today's episode, I am introducing the four-part series on "Overcoming Anxiety Through Faith." I'm getting real with this one and sharing my personal struggle with anxiety and how my faith in God guided me to overcome it. As someone who suffered for years under anxiety's control, I know how few resources there are for this. I always knew I could beat anxiety, but I never knew how. That's why I created this series for you. In Part 1, you will learn the importance of belief, defining your faith, and declaring affirmations to counter anxiety - plus HOW to do all these things. There are key scriptures and practical exercises, such as journaling and consistent faith declarations, to help you start your journey toward an anxiety-free life. The most important detail for all of this to work is patience and diligence. "Let patience have her perfect work, that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing." James 1:4 Make sure you tune in each week for the next 3 weeks, as we unfold the next 3 steps in giving you the victory over fear. And don't forget to mark your calendar for the "Girl, Stand UP" Revival coming this November!

Are you struggling to feel hopeful? Does it seem like every time you get ready to trust God, you suffer another loss? After experiencing so much disappointment, it can become all to easy to reject hope and settle for less.

YET, even in the middle of all of that hopelessness, somehow you still managed to click on this podcast. The truth is that you are actually more hopeful than you think, but you're hiding it. You've chosen to numb yourself to possibility and, I get it, that's a safe choice.

But "the God of hope" is calling you out of that safe place, out onto the waters again. Without hope, we can't have faith! (Hebrews 11:1) And I will not sit quietly and watch you throw that hope away for fear of failing again.

It's time to reignite the fire, shake off the past (and the present), and lean into your hope again. I invite you to cast whatever you have left on Jesus, and watch Him do wonders!

Let's dive in.

Have you ever skipped a meal because you were afraid it would make you sick? Have you ever cooked a meal and didn't eat it because you feared it was unsafe to eat? It's a crazy concept, but anxious food aversion can make us feel this way! I personally have eaten the same things over and over because anything new or different made me afraid. But that is no way to live! Throughout the Bible, God used food as a means of celebration. He even established communion to remember Him by! Yet, anxiety can cause us to forfeit the benefits of a good meal, all for unnecessary fears. Today, I share with you my story of how God healed me, and slowly walked me through renewing my mind around eating. I went from eating the same things over and over again, to exploring new foods, and now I purposefully choose new restaurants and recipes just to expand my tastebuds! My prayer is that you hear something that will ignite your faith, give you hope, and a reason to leave that silly fear of food behind. Let's dive in!

Today's scripture references are James 5:14 and Luke 17:14. I am not a doctor and do not offer medical advice. If you struggle with eating disorders, please seek your medical physician. I'll be praying for you! _________________________________________________________________________

Will God still use me if I am anxious? Isn't anxiety a sin? How can God choose someone who can't even trust Him not to fear?!

"Do not be afraid" is mentioned in the Bible 365 times - that's one time for every day of the year! Yet somehow, fear shows up in our lives anyway. Being afraid or anxious doesn't disqualify us from being used by God. Though fear may try to stop us, God has given us the "power, love, and sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7) to overcome it, and to fulfill the purpose on our lives. But how do we know this to be true?

The Bible lists many examples of people who overcame their anxieties to do God's will - David, Elijah, and yes, even Jesus, struggled with this same obstacle. Nevertheless, they fulfilled all that was their calling, and more. Today, we will take a look at how these great men pushed beyond their fears and offer you 3 practical applications to help you do the same. Let's dig in. _____________________________________________________
