Early 2025 was a difficult and challenging season for me. I process what all was happening in my life, how I felt about it, and what God taught me in it.

*Key takeaway

1. Seasons of intensity and pressure are hard, but it's important to stay present and in peace through them.

*Truths to remember

1. Esther 4:14 "Who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”
2. Romans 8:28 "We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him."
3. Isaiah 40:11 "He will care for you as a shepherd tends his flock, gathering the weak lambs and taking them in his arms. He carries them close to his heart and gently leads those that have young."

Most of us are looking for a breakthrough somewhere in our life. Remember this - you probably don’t need a big change; you just need a small revelation that can shift everything. So don’t overlook the small stuff!

In this episode, we're talking about being yoked with Christ, what that means, and how it will impact our lives.

"My yoke is easy." - Jesus in Matt. 11:30

Anxiety is the opposite of trusting God.

Anxiety comes when we don't know who we are in Christ or who he is for us.

What does it take to shake my confidence, my trust, in God? How quickly do I lose my focus and try to take control?

"My people are destroyed because they do not know who I am." - God in Hosea 4:6

"Oh, I already know that."

Questions to take away and process with Holy Spirit -

1. Where am I being anxious instead of trusting God?
2. What lie am I believing that is causing this anxiety, and what is the truth that I need to know that will keep me in peace in spite of this challenge?
3. Is my heart open and receptive to truth, or am I too distracted for truth to take root in me?

Truth to remember -

1. "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matt. 11:28-30

In this episode, I look at two stories, one from the Bible and one from my own life, that show how important it is to live with our minds anchored in God's promises, then I draw a few parallels that show some surprising details about miracles.

As you passionately seek his kingdom, above all else, he will supply your needs. So don’t ever be afraid, dearest friends! Your loving Father joyously gives you his kingdom with all its promises! Luke 12: 31,32

If you, imperfect as you are, know how to lovingly take care of your children and give them what’s best, how much more ready is your heavenly Father to give wonderful gifts to those who ask him? Matt. 7:11

Key Takeaway - Believing God’s promises and walking in obedience are the only ways to live with sustained victory.

Truths to Remember -

1. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17
2. ...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6
3. A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow! John 10:10

In this episode I tell you a story of how I learned to face my fear and take action in spite of it. I had literally run away from this fear in the past but was in a position with no great options; so I faced my fear and did what needed to be done afraid. I also tell you what I saw in my life as a direct result of not running from my fear.

Key Takeaways:

1. What we focus on grows.
2. Taking action will disarm our fear.

Truths to remember this week:

1. "Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on the very glorious work of God, praising him always." Phil. 4:8
2. "And if anyone longs to be wise, ask God for wisdom, and he will give it! He won't see your lack of wisdom as an opportunity to scold you over your failures, but he will overwhelm your failures with his generous grace." James 1:5

Remember - you probably don't need a big change: you just need a small revelation that can shift everything.

I answer questions that I received from some of you -

1. What was the process of starting a podcast? Was it a new idea or something you've been thinking about for a while?
2. What made "the summer of hell" the summer of hell?

I also tell you several things I learned from both of these experiences that I hope might help and encourage you if you are experiencing similar questions and circumstances.

In this episode I tell you about myself, how my relationship with God developed, and the Summer of Hell and how it pushed me into a much deeper, more personal revelation of God. I tell you about how knowing truth in my head was very different from experiencing truth in my heart and how my thoughts and beliefs changed drastically because of it.

Key takeaways -

1. True change starts in our beliefs. Knowing truth with our mind does nothing at all until we allow truth to change our beliefs.
2. Living from God's approval is much better than trying to live for others' approval.

Truth to remember this week -

1. "...be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think..." Romans 12:2
2. "Fill your thoughts with my words until they penetrate deep into your spirit. Then, as you unwrap my words, they will impart true life and radiant health into the very core of your being." Proverbs 4:21,22
3. "The fear of mankind is a snare, but the one who trusts in the Lord is protected." Proverbs 19:25

Remember this – you probably don’t need a big change; you just need a small revelation that can shift everything. So don’t overlook the small stuff!
