In this episode, we talk about what it really means to trust the unfolding of life when things don’t go according to plan. We’ve both longed for the blueprint—the full picture—but God often asks us to take just the next step without knowing what’s around the corner. Releasing control is tough, but we’ve learned that peace doesn’t come from having all the answers. Heidi shares how something as inconvenient as a flat tire turned into a sacred moment with her mom—reminding us that what feels like an interruption may actually be part of God’s gentle redirection.

We lean into scriptures like Psalm 37:5 and Proverbs 16:9 and explore how to practice trusting the unfolding through simple breath prayers, journaling, and asking God to help us loosen our grip on control. For us, trusting the unfolding means choosing to believe that God is present and active, even when the path feels uncertain. If you're in a season of waiting, change, or unknowns, we invite you to join us and remember: your life is not random, and the One writing your story is trustworthy.

Have you ever felt like you're sitting on an emotional trash can, afraid that lifting the lid will make everything spill out? We’ve both been there. In this episode, we talk about how we've tried to hold it all together—telling ourselves to “move on” or “just get over it”—because that’s what we heard from others and from our own inner critic. But we’ve found that real healing doesn’t come from avoidance. It comes when we let God into the mess, one honest moment at a time.

We share personal stories—like digging through old journals and clothes tied to body image struggles—and how counterfeit comforts only gave temporary relief. The real shift started when we stopped numbing the pain and started facing it with God. Psalm 23 reminds us He walks with us through the darkest valleys, not around them. This isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about trusting the One who holds us even in our weakness. We hope you’ll join us in exploring what it means to find lasting comfort, not in escape, but in Christ.

In this episode, we get real about the counterfeit comforts we each reach for when life feels too heavy—whether that’s emotional eating, perfectionism, scrolling, or even throwing ourselves into ministry. We open up about how our personal stories shaped these patterns. Heidi shares how growing up with alcoholic parents taught her to cope through control and performance, while Christina talks about how her mom’s trauma from WWII in Germany created a legacy of anxiety and over-functioning in her own life. These habits may look harmless, but they often mask a deeper ache we’re trying to numb.

We also talk about how family history and cultural messages feed these false comforts and how even “good” things—like spiritual routines—can become a way to avoid real connection with God. But there’s hope. Scripture invites us to bring our struggles into the light and let God meet us in the very places we tend to hide. Instead of running from discomfort, we’re learning to pause and invite God in—right in the middle of our mess. Tune in and join us as we unpack the beginning of this healing journey.
