If you’ve been feeling heavy lately, like joy takes too much effort and everything feels harder than it should be...you’re not alone.

54 | The Danger of a Quiet Time: Rethinking How You Connect With God 10.10.2025 32:34
Sometimes the things that look the most spiritual are the ones that trip us up. In this episode, I’m talking about quiet time. You know, that carved-out 30 minutes where we read our Bible, pray, light a candle, and try to connect with God. It’s beautiful. It’s life-giving. BUT… it can also become a box we check. A straightjacket we can't get out of. A guilt trip when we miss it. Let’s talk about:...
53 | The Hidden Cost of Compromise: Sin, Repentance & Real Change 03.10.2025 45:53
We need to talk about sin and the compromises we keep choosing even when we know better. I’m sharing my own story of ignoring conviction, what happened when I stepped outside God’s protection, and how repentance isn’t about trying harder but changing how we think. If you’ve been feeling off in your faith or wondering why it’s hard to feel close to God, this episode will help you see what might be...
52 | You're Missing God's Goodness: Learn Why and How To Finally See It (Psalm 23:6) 26.09.2025 33:27
What if God’s goodness has been chasing you this whole time and you just haven’t noticed? We rush, we compare, we fear, we try to control...and in the middle of all that noise, His love and blessing can feel invisible! Psalm 23:6 paints the picture of a God who relentlessly comes after you. In this episode, we’ll look at why we miss His goodness and how to finally recognize it in our everyday live...
51 | Transitions, Battles, and Anxiety (Psalm 23:5) 19.09.2025 36:52

But Psalm 23:5 reminds us that the Good Shepherd has already gone ahead of you, prepared the way, and offers peace right in the middle of it all. In this episode, you’ll hear: How fear and change stir up anxiety and the need for control How the Shepherd prepares the table and protects you, even when enemies surround you...
50 | Fear No Evil: God's Presence in the Darkest Times (Psalm 23:4) 12.09.2025 32:25
When your child says they don’t want to live anymore, it feels like the valley of the shadow of death. Psalm 23:4 isn’t just words, it’s what we lived: “Even when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.” In this episode of Oopsy Daisy, Amanda shares her family’s battle with fear, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, and how the Good Shepherd carried t...

44 | Being Led By The Good Shepherd (Psalm 23:3) 29.08.2025 28:19
Psalm 23:3 calls us to a hard truth: we weren’t meant to lead, we were meant to follow.

43 | Finding Peace & Rest in the Good Shepherd (Psalm 23:2) 22.08.2025 20:08
Psalm 23 paints a picture of peace with green pastures and still waters. So why does kind of rest feels out of reach?? We’re carrying fears, relationship tensions, and thoughts we can’t shut off. Here’s the good news: the Bible gives us a clear, 4-step plan for peace. It’s not vague. It’s not “try harder.” It’s an actionable path you can start walking today to find real relief for your soul.

36 | Boss of Your Brain: Taking Every Thought Captive 03.07.2025 34:41

Ever walked away from a moment thinking, “I should’ve done more… said more… been more”? In this episode, we’re digging into the kind of regret that doesn’t let you move on.

We’re pulling apart that lie and replacing it with freedom: God is big enough to...

This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who’s been holding back, shrinking their faith, and calling it “humble.” We’re going all in on what the Bible actually says about asking God for big things without guilt, without shame, and without the false humility that keeps so many of us stuck.

33 | Permission To Change (Even When Nobody Wants You To) 13.06.2025 27:54
God is growing you. That’s a good thing. But not everyone will like it. Sometimes the hardest part of spiritual growth isn’t the obedience, it’s the pushback. The awkward glances. The people who liked you better the old way. This episode will give you permission to change and become who God is calling you to be, even when others resist it. Because staying small for the comfort of others isn’t what...
