Ep. 188: Renewing Your Mind After Trauma 13.09.2025 28:15

Scriptures referenced in this episode: Romans 12:2 and 2 Corinthians 10:5. Renewing our minds in Christ is a daily act of surrender! It allows us to be focused on God’s Word and His truth, so we are susceptible to the lies of the enemy! It’s one of...
Ep. 187: Breaking Free from the Cycle of Fear & Anxiety 24.08.2025 36:25
Hi Beautiful friend! Today we are talking about how to start breaking free from the cycle of fear and anxiety! Anxiety is not who you are—it’s a response to what happened to you. But it’s not your final story. 1 John 4:18 – “Perfect love drives out fear.” If anxiety has had the final word for too long, it’s time to rewrite your story. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to hang ou...
