Hello, beautiful!

How are you doing after last week’s episode? After we sat in the ashes with Job, gave ourselves permission to ask, "Why me, God?", and learned that the Shepherd walks with us through the valley — not around it.

Well, this week, we're building on that. Because the next question is just as important as the first one.

Last week we asked, "Why me, God?" This week, we ask, "Who am I becoming because of this?"

Today we're talking about the lies that grow in hard seasons — the negative beliefs that whisper in our ears when we’re too tired to fight back.

We'll name two of the loudest ones, hear what scripture says back to them, and learn what it means to "stay in your lane" when life gets heavy.

Inspired by Romans 8 and 2 Corinthians 12, we'll explore why God's love isn't earned, why your brokenness isn't a disqualifier, and how the inner work of healing negative beliefs is some of the most sacred work we do.

You'll Learn:

👣 What it really means to "stay in your lane" when something hard is happening to you

👣 The two loudest lies that whisper in women's hearts during hard seasons — and the scripture that confronts each one

👣 Why your past explains you, but does not excuse you (and how emotional intelligence meets faith)

👣 One tender invitation for healing a negative belief this week

Hello, beautiful!

Has anyone ever said to you, "It's okay, everything happens for a reason"?

Oh, friend. That phrase isn't in the Bible. It never was. And if your heart has been quietly carrying the question, "Why me, God?" — This episode is for you.

Today we're opening the book of Job — a man who lost almost everything in a single breath, sat in ashes, and asked the very question you may have whispered at 3 a.m.

We'll talk about what Job's friends got wrong (and what God Himself had to say about it), why asking "why me?" is not a lack of faith, and what the rod and the staff of Psalm 23 actually mean for you in the valley.

You'll Learn:

👣 Why "everything happens for a reason" isn't biblical — and what God Himself said to the friends who said it

👣 How to sit with someone in their ashes (and how to offer that same grace to yourself)

👣 What the rod and the staff of Psalm 23 actually are — and how they're working for you right now

👣 Three invitations for walking through the valley when you wish you could skip to the end

✨ Plus, a tender prayer, a Lauren Daigle lyric that may become your anthem this week, and the permission you've been waiting for to stop explaining your ashes.

Hello, beautiful!

Last week, we stood with Thomas in that locked room and practiced loosening our grip.

But believing is one thing — stepping out is another

And the minute we start to move, a sneaky new friend shows up: resistance. Dressed as worry. As what-ifs. As "maybe not today."

In this Part II Sunday episode, we're digging into why we resist change, where fear really comes from, and how Jesus gave us the most loving, gentle pep talk for exactly this moment in Matthew 6:25-34.

Because worrying about tomorrow? It doesn't add a single hour to your life. Your only job is today.

You'll Learn:

👣 How to reframe change from something happening TO you into something happening FOR you

👣 That breaking change down to one step, one day at a time, is straight from scripture

👣 The power of celebrating small wins is evidence that God is already walking with you

✨ Plus, a tender prayer, a powerful reminder from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and three gentle practices you can start this week.
