Stuck. Fed up. Barely making it - maybe these words describe what's going on in your heart lately.  Not only do I understand, but God knows. What we're really saying is we need something in our lives to change. You don't need more motivation, discipline, or hours of Bible time, what you may need is to make a decision. In this episode, I'm sharing 3 questions that will help you determine why you ar...

REBROADCAST: Our quiet time with God will not always produce a feeling, but we can guarantee that we are becoming transformed. We know this because it’s not about what we do by effort - the Spirit is who brings transformation. In this episode, I explain the purpose of quiet time with God, why it's important, and how to spend your time with Him. The length of the quiet time does not matter, but it...

REBROADCAST: The depth we know God is the depth we will be able to trust God. Overcoming anxiety isn’t about pushing away your feelings, ignoring them, or treating what you are going through like nothing. Overcoming anxiety starts with knowing who God is to you and what you believe He believes about you. In this episode, I explain how our physical response to anxiety is connected to the beliefs we...

REBROADCAST: We can spend years building trust and growing deeper into our relationships only for a moment to occur that can begin to slowly destroy the time invested. When that happens, rebuilding broken trust takes time and the intentional pursuit of restoration. In this episode, I'm talking about what happens when trust is broken, how to rebuild trust with that person by taking Biblical action,...

REBROADCAST: Do you struggle to find peace and trust God because of bad things that have happened in the past? How can we break free from the fear of future pain? I can relate. That's what I'm discussing in this Q&A episode. God shows grace in providing for us and strengthening us for the path ahead. That grace is sufficient - it is all we need. Don't forget, you can submit your own question a...

REBROADCAST: Scripture talks about three kinds of strongholds. One is a fort, fortress, castle, or secure place (a physical place) to be safe against the enemy’s attacks. Another example is when God himself is referred to as our stronghold. The third refers to negative patterns of thinking, prideful thoughts, or worldly messages that have written negative messages on the minds and hearts of believ...

REBROADCAST: It’s our brokenness that blinds our eyes from the truth and keeps us focused on our pain. We can’t see clearly because our pain changes our perspective, and our perspective directs our path. Over time, ignoring our emotions, feelings, and pain only obscures our vision and ability to see clearly. Trying to pray them away or ignoring them causes even more blindness to the truth. In this...

How do we befriend the broken parts of us without allowing the broken parts to break us? How do we care for the pieces of our stories we aren’t ready to draw near to? Our pain wants someone or something to blame. If we keep our pain far enough away from us, then we don’t have to deal with it and we think it becomes someone else's problem. We can’t take responsibility for anyone else's actions or r...

As I've been praying about the direction of this podcast, I've felt led to add some episodes that are a little different in the hope that they will inspire you that God can turn your misery into your ministry. In this episode, I'm giving you a peek at what a live coaching call with one of the students in my Spiritual Growth Mentorship sounds like. In this conversation, Skyler shares about her past...

There is no escaping the fact that we will experience pain in this world. Therefore, we must learn how to deal with triggers from trauma and pain with God. We have responses from our pain and our bodies will respond accordingly. However, God’s love for you is not on trial. He wants to walk through this healing with you as you become more like Him. Love opens our hearts and welcomes the possibility...

What is anger? What beliefs cause us to become angry? Are there different types of anger? I'll be exploring all those questions in this brief study on anger, as well as investigating the seven-stage cycle we tend to go through when anger becomes toxic. When left unchecked, a disagreement may become contempt for another person. Anger becomes dangerous when we give in to it because your relationship...

Have you ever wondered if it's possible to move past your pain and forgive someone without letting the other person know? That's what I'm addressing in this Q&A episode. Forgiveness does not require forgetting or reconciliation. Determining your goals for the relationship will allow you to move forward with the correct heart posture. Don't forget, you can submit your own question any time at j...

According to the Bible, God's will is revealed through various means, including His written word, the scriptures. But what does God’s will look like when it involves change in our life? In this episode, I walk through key aspects of God's will in the Bible, God’s will and how it can change your life, why change feels so hard, and how we can embrace God's will for life change. We talk about change...

If you're a regular listener of From Head to Heart, you often hear me invite you to join my Spiritual Growth Mentorship . In this episode, I share my story of pain, revelation, and hope. I didn’t need someone telling me to read my Bible or to pray more and I didn't need another how-to guide. So God led me to create something I didn’t have - a mentorship and a safe community of women. I see your an...

When we're going through something hard we often want to isolate ourselves or feel like we're too far gone. Maybe you can relate. In this episode, I'm speaking with Sarah Standley, one of the students in my Spiritual Growth Mentorship . In this conversation, Sarah shares her personal story about what led her to join the mentorship, what she has learned from it, and why she recommends it to others...

Faith over fear is what we choose, walk out, and become disciplined in. To live in faith over fear, we must know that experiencing safety with God is physical, spiritual, and emotional. The enemy of our hearts is fear because it reminds us of the absence of our safety and comfort.   In this episode, I'm walking through some questions we can answer to determine how we arrived at this place of fear...

“I’m praying; I’m begging God. I want it to all go away.” Are you someone who feels like prayer isn't working? You are not alone in this wonder. When we call upon Jesus and He doesn’t show up when we want or how we would like, it makes us wonder and question. So what do we do when our prayer doesn’t take our pain away? We stand and we fight. In this episode, I'm chatting with you about the power o...

If it’s one thing I talk a lot about with the women in the Spiritual Growth Mentorship , it’s helping them walk through forgiving themselves for the mistakes they have made. We know God forgives us of our sins through Jesus, but we continue to carry the weight of the sin. We think we have to get ourselves right before we go to God. With this belief, we isolate ourselves. Making mistakes suck. It’s...

Hearing from God is discerning between the different voices we hear. Whether it’s through our feelings and what they communicate or what the enemy is trying to distract us from or with. Hearing from God requires us to think about what we are thinking, instead of allowing what comes to be have the ultimate say over our lives.  I want you to know, above all, that you have the ability to discern, kno...

Moving forward with God means we must allow Him to heal us from the pain of our past. Trusting God is more than a feeling; it’s a choice to have faith in what He says, even when your feelings or circumstances would have you believe something different. It’s not about convincing ourselves or others we have moved on. Healing is about honesty and humility. Honesty with where we are and humility in re...

Are you holding on so tightly trying to make it all work out, but exhausted? Trusting in God's guidance can provide the strength and wisdom needed to move on from difficult situations in life. Sometimes the best thing for us to do is to let go.  Letting go isn’t giving up. It’s giving it over to God so the yoke we now carry is His and not ours. Through prayer and faith, we can seek God's guidance...

You spent months with a person, building trust, only for the trust to be broken in what feels like an instant. Sometimes trust isn’t broken in an instant, though, but slowly over time. Sometimes their words are what we cling to the most, hoping for change. However, their actions are what often speak the truth. I know how hard it is to walk through broken trust and also the steps and time it takes...

Let me start by asking: Are you a people pleaser? Stay with me, then. Setting emotional boundaries is an essential part of maintaining our mental and spiritual well-being. Boundaries help us define our limits, protect ourselves from emotional harm, and maintain healthy relationships. In this episode, we'll explore the importance of setting emotional boundaries and how to do so in a way that aligns...
