Faith doesn’t always feel confident or peaceful. Sometimes it feels like fear, hesitation, and obedience without clarity.

In this episode of Bibles and Botox, we explore what I call “but faith”. The kind of faith that chooses obedience even when emotions, logic, and circumstances say otherwise. From Simon Peter lowering his nets after a night of failure, to Abraham placing Isaac on the altar, to Jesus praying in Gethsemane, we see a consistent pattern in Scripture: God works through surrendered obedience before understanding comes.

You’ll hear a powerful personal testimony that brings this concept to life, and we’ll unpack how but faith shows up in real places: marriage, motherhood, calling, waiting seasons, and the moments when trusting God feels costly.

If you’ve ever said, “God, this doesn’t make sense… but I’ll obey,” this episode is for you.

Anxiety often has deeper roots than stress or overwhelm. In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between shame and anxiety and the way shame quietly shapes our identity, our faith, and how we relate to God.

Many Christian women carry anxiety fueled by self-blame, fear of disappointment, perfectionism, and the belief that God is distant when they struggle. But the Bible tells a different story—of a God who comes looking for His children, not after they’ve fixed themselves, but right in the middle of hiding.

In this episode, we talk about:
• How shame fuels anxiety and emotional exhaustion
• Why anxiety isn’t always about control—but about identity
• The biblical picture of a God who pursues, not withdraws
• Finding freedom from shame through God’s grace and presence

If you’re a Christian woman struggling with anxiety, burnout, or feelings of unworthiness, this episode offers biblical truth, encouragement, and hope rooted in Scripture—not self-help.

You are seen. You are pursued. You are not disqualified.

This episode dismantles one of the most seductive lies modern women live under: “If I don’t keep moving, producing, proving, and performing, everything will collapse.”

Restlessness isn’t just exhaustion — it’s unbelief dressed up as hustle. It’s the false gospel that tells you you must earn worth, secure identity, fix everyone, anticipate every crisis, and carry what only God can carry.

But Christ didn’t hang on a cross, drink the full cup of wrath, descend into death, rise again, and ascend to the right hand of the Father just so you could live like the world is still on your shoulders.

“It is finished.” (John 19:30)
Not partly finished.
Not almost there.
Not “Jesus did His part, now you better do yours flawlessly.”

Finished means:

• the penalty is fully paid
• the striving for identity is over
• the performance treadmill is shattered
• the restlessness of self-salvation is exposed as a lie

If you’re constantly anxious, constantly hustling, constantly proving, constantly afraid to stop because life might unravel — then this isn’t just a lifestyle issue. It’s a lordship issue.

You’ll hear why:

• Restlessness is not a personality flaw — it’s a theological misalignment.
• Busyness isn’t the enemy — burdened self-redemption is.
• Rest is not laziness — it’s obedience.
• Sabbath is not suggestion — it’s identity formation.

Jesus didn’t invite you to burnout discipleship. He invited you to union, yoke, communion, and freedom.

This episode will expose the counterfeit rest culture sells (self-care, spa days, escapism, numbing) and contrast it with the violent, victorious declaration Christ made over your life:

“It is finished.”
Finished striving.
Finished earning.
Finished proving.
Finished performing for love you already have.

Come listen — not to be inspired — but to be re-ordered. Come, and rest.
