You Don’t Fit In Podcast | Identity in Christ, Christian Mental Health, Biblical Mindset, Biblical Confidence

Have you ever felt stuck in the same cycle, wondering why nothing seems to change? While many of us have experienced real pain, disappointment, and hardship, there is a difference between being wounded and allowing our wounds to define us. In this episode, we're taking an honest look at victim thinking through the lens of Scripture. The book of Proverbs offers practical wisdom that challenges us t...

In this episode, we’re talking about body image, weight, insecurity, and the constant pressure women feel to measure their worth by a number on a scale. For so many women, the scale has become a source of validation, shame, fear, control, and identity. One number can determine your mood, your confidence, and even how worthy you feel. But God never called you to build your identity on your appearan...

Life is messy.  And for many Christians, faith doesn’t remove all the struggles, pain, anxiety, disappointment, or hard seasons we face in everyday life. In this episode, I sit down with Eva Thiessen for an honest conversation about her Christian testimony, her journey to faith, and the challenges she has faced as a believer. We talk about mental and emotional struggles, growing in your relationsh...

You trusted in Jesus for your salvation, but now you think you have to figure out how to live a life good enough to be deserving of that salvation, or for the goodness of God. You want to be good. You want to please God. But somewhere along the way, you start believing it’s up to you now. So you strive. You fail. You feel guilty. And you pull away from God. And the whole time, you’re missing the t...

Do you feel like you were made for more than the life you’re living, but feel stuck, stagnant, or unsure where to start? The problem is not a lack of time. It is not a lack of ability. It is the battle in your mind. You hear thoughts like: “I’m not ready.” “I don’t know enough.” “What if I fail?” “I’m not creative.” Those thoughts feel true, but they are not aligned with what God says about you. L...

You’re reading your Bible. You’re praying. You’re showing up. But it still feels off. In this episode, we talk about why that happens. Not from a lack of effort, but from a misplaced identity. If your quiet time feels heavy, forced, or empty, this will help you see why. And more importantly, how to shift out of striving and into a real relationship with God. Learn how to stop performing for God an...

Do you ever feel stuck in your faith?  Do you wonder if you are supposed to feel more mature, more grounded by now?  Or maybe you feel the tension of knowing you are called to more, but you’re not sure what moving forward actually looks like. In this episode, we talk about what it means to actively grow in your faith instead of staying stagnant.  Scripture calls you to run your race with endurance...

It happens to all of us. We get stuck. We feel unmotivated. And there we sit. You want to move, but you also don’t want to move. So you stay in the same place. But there is one simple way out of that rut. And you can start today. In this episode, I walk you through one practical step that helps you break out of that heavy, stagnant feeling. If you feel tired, unmotivated, or mentally stuck, this w...

I'll be honest with you... My lack of boundaries is something that has kept me up at night,  and I'm still very much in the middle of this journey.  But I couldn't not talk about this.  When we don't have healthy boundaries in place,  it doesn't just exhaust us.  It doesn't just build resentment in relationships we actually care about.  It can keep us from the very thing God is calling us to do, t...

You say you trust God. You say you believe prayer matters. You say your identity is in Christ. But what do your daily habits reveal? In this episode, we break down the connection between your habits and your beliefs. Your routines expose what you actually believe. If prayer is inconsistent, that may reveal a lack of faith. If you overwork and overcommit, that may reveal a belief that your value de...

Are you truly aligned with your God given identity, or have you grown comfortable in patterns that are slowly pulling you out of alignment? This episode will help you examine where you may be coasting instead of growing, staying silent instead of speaking truth, or choosing ease over faithfulness. Alignment is not about becoming someone new. It is about returning to who you were created to be. Thi...

You love God. You know the truth. You believe what Scripture says about who you are. And yet your heart still races in social settings. You still overthink conversations. You still feel small, exposed, or insecure around other people. It can feel confusing and even discouraging when your lived experience does not seem to match your theology. In this episode, we talk about how social anxiety often...

Your heart starts racing before you even walk into the room. Your chest feels tight. Your stomach knots up. You feel the dread of being in social settings before anything has even happened. When you struggle with social anxiety, your body often reacts first. It becomes hard to stay present in conversations when your nervous system feels like it is in danger. Social anxiety does not just affect one...

You love your kids. But you feel constantly behind. No matter how much you do, it never feels like enough. You second-guess yourself. You watch other families and wonder why your life doesn't look like theirs. You are tired of measuring yourself. Tired of carrying expectations that leave you drained. Tired of feeling like peace is always just out of reach. This episode speaks to the mom who feels...

We have all done it. You feel the nudge to say yes. Or to say no. You feel the pull to speak up. Or to stay quiet. And deep down, you already know what the right thing is. So why is it so hard to do it? Often, it's not confusion. It's fear. In this episode, I talk about how people pleasing quietly takes the place of true worship. How it disguises itself as humility, service, or being nice, while s...

Real change rarely happens in big, dramatic moments. More often, it begins with small, faithful choices that don’t feel impressive at the time. In this episode, I talk about how quiet faithfulness and small, consistent action leads to meaningful, lasting transformation. Not overnight. Not through pressure or perfection. But through obedience, patience, and trusting God with the process. If you’ve...

What do you do when you don’t like who you are? When you look at your life, your choices, or your habits and feel disappointed or ashamed? Most of us try to “fix ourselves” by striving harder, proving ourselves, or chasing approval from people who will never be able to give us what our hearts truly desire. In today’s episode, we’re talking about what the Bible really says about identity, self-wort...

What does the Bible really teach about self-talk, mindset, and your identity in Christ? And how do you begin taking biblical steps to replace destructive thoughts with life-giving truth and speak hope over yourself and your circumstances? In today’s episode, we’re talking about the biblical power of words, why Scripture says life and death are in the tongue, and how the way you speak (even about y...

Are you feeling a little lost, aimless, or unsure about where you’re headed? Maybe you’re wondering why you can’t seem to get clear on your next step or even make sense of where you are right now. In today’s episode, we’re discussing why so many Christian moms find themselves feeling confused, directionless, or disconnected from their God-given purpose. And more importantly, we’re talking about ho...

Do you feel like you’re constantly striving, battling guilt, comparing yourself to other Christian women, or feeling unworthy of God’s promises? These struggles reveal how you truly see God and how you believe He sees you. What you believe about His love will always show up in the way you live your everyday life—your thoughts, your parenting, your actions, and your reactions. In this episode, we’r...

Have you ever wished you could just snap your fingers and be healed from the pain, the memories, the things that still weigh heavily on your heart? Me too. Healing can feel so slow, especially when you’ve been carrying years of hurt and struggle.   In today’s episode, we’re talking about the slow work of healing — the kind that happens one piece at a time, in the middle of what still feels messy....

Do you ever catch yourself thinking, “I should be further along by now”? Maybe you thought you’d be more patient, more mature — more this, more that. But instead, you see all the ways you still fall short. In today’s episode, we’re talking about that voice of self-condemnation that tells you, “You should be better by now.” If you’ve been feeling behind, let this conversation remind you that we can...

Have you ever missed the days after you were first saved when your faith felt fresh and your quiet time came easily? Between the noise, the laundry, and the endless needs, it can feel almost impossible to connect with God the way you used to. But is that what He's calling you to? In this episode, I want to help you see that worship isn’t about long, quiet mornings. It’s about a heart that turns to...

Do you ever feel like your faith, your habits, or even your daily life are just…mundane? Like you’re showing up, but it doesn’t seem to matter? In today’s episode, I want to encourage you with the truth of how God does big things through small, faithful steps. If you’ve been overwhelmed, discouraged by your progress, or tempted to quit, I'm here to remind you that your everyday obedience is never...

Have you ever had an area of your life that you just don’t want to face? Maybe it’s a dream that didn’t turn out the way you hoped, a prayer that went unanswered, or a wound that still hurts too much to touch. Instead of tending to it, you’ve left it alone, like a garden you’re afraid to step into because you know the weeds have taken over. In this episode, we talk about how disappointment and unm...
