Episode Description

Have you ever made a decision based on how you felt in the moment... only to look back and wish you had responded differently?

We've all been there.

Our emotions are real, and they're a gift from God. But they were never meant to lead our lives.

In this episode of Held, Healed, and Empowered, we're talking about what it looks like to live by conviction instead of emotion. You'll learn why your feelings make great indicators but poor leaders, how to recognize the beliefs driving your emotional responses, and how to anchor your decisions in the unchanging truth of God's Word.

If you've ever struggled with fear, discouragement, anxiety, or self-doubt, this conversation will encourage you to pause, examine what's happening beneath the surface, and choose truth over impulse.

In this episode, we'll explore:

• Why emotions are indicators, not dictators.

• What biblical conviction really is.

• How Jesus modeled living by conviction in the Garden of Gethsemane.

• Five practical questions to help you respond instead of react.

• How to build convictions that remain steady even when your emotions aren't.

My prayer is that you'll walk away feeling encouraged, grounded, and equipped to trust God's truth more than your feelings.

Remember: You don't have to believe everything you feel. But you can always trust what God says.

What do you do when life breaks wide open and everything you once held onto feels shattered? In this raw and honest episode, Amanda opens up about a dark season of her life when she felt abandoned, overwhelmed, and unsure of how to keep going and how, in the midst of it all, God never left her side. If you’ve ever wondered where God is in your hardest moments, this episode will remind you that His presence is closest in the mess. You are not alone, and your healing can begin today.

In this heartfelt kickoff episode, Amanda Brothers shares the story behind the transformation from the Walking in the Glory of God Podcast to the newly rebranded Held, Healed & Empowered Podcast. You’ll hear the "why" behind the change, what listeners can expect moving forward, and how this new season is all about meeting women in their real, raw, and painful moments—and walking with them toward healing, identity, and empowerment in Christ. If you're navigating life after loss, transition, or heartbreak, this episode will remind you that you're not alone... and that healing is possible.

In this episode we are talking about our beliefs. In particular as they relate to how we see ourselves and how they can negatively affect what we say about ourselves and how we see ourselves if it is not positive. Be encouraged.

Welcome to today’s episode! I’m excited to talk about how you can reset, heal, and rebuild your life through faith. If you’re feeling lost or overwhelmed after a significant life change, you’re not alone, and there is hope for a new beginning.

We're talking about love today. Our world is in such a state of confusion, division and hatred and I believe God is calling us to love. It is time for the sons and daughters of God to Rise Up and Love.
