    11. Fighting Fear, Discouragement or Insecurity? You Don't Have to Fight Alone (Jehovah Nissi)
    Jun 15 2026

    Do you ever feel like you're fighting fear, discouragement, insecurity, or a battle in your own mind?

    In this episode, we'll explore the powerful name of God, Jehovah Nissi—The Lord Is My Banner, and discover why victory isn't found in striving harder but in depending on God.

    You'll learn: ✨ What Jehovah Nissi means ✨ Why Israel's victory in Exodus 17 depended on God's strength, not their own ✨ How insecurity often comes from standing under the wrong banner ✨ How to identify the banners of fear, approval, performance, and self-reliance ✨ Why God's banner over you is both victory and love

    Plus, stay to the end for a guided activation meditation to help you surrender your battles and learn to stand under God's banner.

    When the Lord is your banner, you no longer have to fight for your identity—you fight from it.

  • 10. Struggling to Feel Good Enough? How to Break Free from Performance and Find Your True Identity with Special Guest Kara Schrock

    10. Struggling to Feel Good Enough? How to Break Free from Performance and Find Your True Identity with Special Guest Kara Schrock
    Jun 8 2026

    Do you feel like you have to be "good enough" to be accepted?

    Do you find yourself striving, comparing, overthinking, or trying to prove your worth?

    Have you ever wondered why following all the rules still doesn't bring peace?

    In this powerful conversation, Kara Schrock shares her journey from insecurity, performance, and perfectionism into freedom and healing. Growing up in a strict religious environment, Kara learned to hide her struggles and strive for acceptance. But when health challenges and a deep hunger for God led her into a personal encounter with Him, everything began to change.

    Together, we talk about the difference between living from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil versus the Tree of Life, how performance can keep us trapped in insecurity, and why true healing begins when we embrace our identity in Christ.

    ✨ In This Episode: • How childhood wounds can shape our identity • Why striving and perfectionism never satisfy • The connection between insecurity and performance • What it means to eat from the Tree of Life • How truth brings healing and freedom • Practical steps for releasing old beliefs and embracing truth

    ✨ Key Truth: You don't become whole by trying harder. You become whole by receiving the truth of who God says you are.

    ✨ Guest: Kara Schrock is a life coach, speaker, and host of The Imagine Code. She helps women heal, rediscover their identity, and step into freedom through truth, healing, and personal transformation.

    09. Stumped on Understanding the Way God Speaks to You? This Encouragement Will Help.
    Jun 1 2026

    In this episode of Break Free From Insecurity, we talk about why hearing God can feel so difficult—and how the key is not striving harder, but learning to abide. If you’ve ever wondered why other Christians seem to hear God so clearly while you feel unsure, discouraged, or spiritually disconnected, this episode will encourage you deeply.

    You’ll discover what it means to abide in Christ, how spiritual union with God changes the way we hear Him, and why God may already be speaking to you more than you realize. Through biblical teaching, personal stories, practical steps, and a guided activation, you’ll learn how to become more aware of God’s presence within you and grow in confidence hearing His voice.

    In this episode:

    • Why hearing God is relational, not mechanical
    • What abiding in Christ really means
    • How guilt, shame, fear, and striving block spiritual awareness
    • Bible verses about being one with Christ
    • Practical ways to recognize God’s peace and presence
    • A guided visualization and journaling exercise to help you connect with God

    If you’ve struggled with spiritual insecurity, overthinking, or feeling distant from God, this episode will help you stop striving and start abiding as you grow in friendship with the One who loves you deeply.

  • 08. How to Hear God's Voice When Fear and Insecurity are Loud: With Special Guest Amy Wadlington

    08. How to Hear God's Voice When Fear and Insecurity are Loud: With Special Guest Amy Wadlington
    May 25 2026
    In this episode, I’m joined by Amy Wadlington, prophetic Christian life coach, speaker, and host of the globally ranked podcast Prophetic Breakthrough for Christian Women. Together, we discuss our similar calling to help women break free from insecurity and walk confidently in their true identity in Christ. In this conversation, we talk about: ✨ How Amy would begin helping a woman who feels insecure by first asking: 👉 “What is God saying?” ✨ Learning to quiet the mind and allow the Holy Spirit to guide us ✨ Why the Holy Spirit is like a GPS: We may know the destination, but first we have to recognize where we are now and what season we’re currently walking through ✨ How healing and growth often happen one step at a time as we learn to trust God daily ✨ Amy’s journey as a single mom struggling financially and how God faithfully guided her step by step ✨ How both of us experienced a new courage and boldness after receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit ✨ Why receiving the Holy Spirit required partnership and surrender—choosing to step out in faith and respond to God ✨ Practical ways to begin hearing God more clearly by slowing down and quieting internal noise ✨ How insecurity and fear can sometimes be rooted in deep beliefs, lies, or inner vows we made long ago Amy also vulnerably shares a powerful story from her childhood. At only two years old, after seeing her mother crying, she unknowingly made an inner agreement that she would never become a burden to her mom. That belief quietly shaped many of her decisions and behaviors growing up until God revealed and uprooted the lie. We discuss how once truth exposes a lie, darkness can no longer hide there. Most of all, this episode is a reminder that God deeply loves us and continually walks us into greater freedom, healing, and wholeness layer by layer throughout our lives. If you’ve been feeling stuck, fearful, overwhelmed, or unsure how to hear God clearly, this conversation will encourage you to slow down, listen, and take the next small step with Him.

  • 07. Why You Still Feel Insecure (Even Though You know God Loves You)

    07. Why You Still Feel Insecure (Even Though You know God Loves You)
    May 18 2026

    Do you know God loves you… but you still feel insecure? Do you find yourself overthinking, striving, or wondering what others think—even though you believe the truth? Have you ever wondered, “Why isn’t this changing me?”

    If that’s you, you’re not alone.

    In this episode, we talk about the gap between knowing God loves you and actually experiencing His love in a way that transforms your thoughts, your identity, and your confidence.

    Because insecurity doesn’t come from a lack of information… it comes from a lack of revelation. A truth that hasn’t yet reached the heart.

    I’ll walk you through what’s really missing, why truth sometimes doesn’t “stick,” and how to begin receiving God’s love in a deeper, more personal way.

    ✨ In This Episode
    • Why knowing God loves you isn’t always enough • The difference between information and revelation • How insecurity is tied to what you truly believe in your heart • Why truth doesn’t always “stick” right away • How to begin experiencing God’s love personally
    ✨ Key Truth

    God’s love doesn’t change you when you hear it. It changes you when you receive it.

    ✨ 3 Simple Steps

    1️⃣ Slow down and notice what you actually believe (Not just what you know, but what feels true)

    2️⃣ Ask God for revelation, not just understanding “God, show me Your love in a way I can experience”

    3️⃣ Sit with truth instead of rushing past it Let it settle… this is where transformation happens

    ✨ Activation

    Take a moment to pause.

    Ask: 👉 “God, do I really believe You love me?”

    Notice what comes up—no judgment. Be honest with any doubt that shows itself with a twinge of resistance.

    Then ask: 👉 “Will You show me Your love right now?”

    Be still. Let Him meet you there.

  • 06. Why Trying to Be “Good” Made Me Judgmental (and What I Didn’t Understand About God’s Love)

    06. Why Trying to Be “Good” Made Me Judgmental (and What I Didn’t Understand About God’s Love)
    May 11 2026
    Do you ever feel like you have to be “good enough” to be accepted? Do you find yourself comparing, judging, or being overly critical—of yourself or others? Do you feel pressure to get everything right, even in your walk with God? What if trying to follow all the “right” rules is actually keeping you stuck in insecurity? In this episode, I share a personal story from my younger years—when I truly loved God, but didn’t yet understand His grace. Without realizing it, my desire to be “good” led me into comparison, criticism, and a rule-based mindset that affected how I saw myself and others. We’ll talk about the difference between living under pressure to perform and living from a place of already being accepted—and how understanding God’s righteousness and love changes everything. If you’ve ever struggled with insecurity, people-pleasing, or feeling like you have to earn approval, this episode will help you begin shifting from striving to receiving. ✨ In This Episode Why trying to be “good enough” can actually increase insecurity • How legalism leads to comparison, judgment, and criticism • The connection between insecurity and performance • What the Old Covenant reveals—and why it couldn’t make us righteous • What it means to be declared “not guilty” through Jesus • How understanding God’s grace changes how you see yourself and others ✨ Key Truth You don’t become accepted by getting it right. You live differently because you already are. ✨ Activation Take a moment today to notice where you feel pressure to perform or “be good enough.” Instead of trying harder, pause and ask: 👉 “God, where am I striving to earn what You’ve already given me?” Then simply receive: 👉 “I am already accepted. I am already made right.” Let that truth begin to settle into your heart. Alright, let’s come back. Feel your feet on the floor. Rub your face. ✨ Mentions: Romans 3:27-28 Also check out Galatians 2:16 and Romans 4:5 ✨ Take the Next Step If you’re ready to begin renewing your mind and replacing insecure thoughts with truth: Join my private facebook page: Break Free From Insecurity Email me at marji@BreakFreeFromInsecurity.com If you want to practice listening to God, Get my free 3-Day Listening Prayer Journal and weekly email: https://breakfreefrominsecurity.com/insider Find my Show (all the episodes) Apple users: Apple podcast app: https://shorturl.at/LkeY0 Android users: Spotify app https://shorturl.at/htTPr Youtube: https://shorturl.at/3UYKH Or look up “Break Free From Insecurity” on any podcast platform Directions to leave a review I’d love if you gave me a great review!

    05. Stuck in Insecurity and Overthinking? This One Truth Can Change Everything!
    May 4 2026
    Do you feel like you have to be “good enough” to be accepted? Do you find yourself overthinking, comparing, or wondering what others think of you? Do you feel distant from God—even though you want to be close? What if your insecurity isn’t complicated… what if it comes down to one truth you haven’t fully believed yet? In this episode, I share a powerful truth that began to change everything for me—a revelation of God’s love that led to what I call my “year of awe.” For the first time, I began to experience what it meant to be fully accepted—not because of anything I had done, but because of what Jesus had already done. We’ll talk about how core beliefs are formed, how they shape your thoughts, relationships, and even your connection with God—and how one truth from Scripture can begin to undo those beliefs from the inside out. If you’ve ever struggled with insecurity, people-pleasing, comparison, or feeling like you have to earn approval, this episode will help you begin shifting from striving to receiving. ✨ In This Episode What core beliefs are and how they are formed • How insecurity, comparison, and overthinking are connected • Why trying to be “good enough” keeps you stuck • The truth about God’s righteousness and acceptance • How one revelation can begin to change everything • Why healing is a process—not instant, but powerful ✨ Key Truth You don’t earn God’s acceptance—you receive it. And when you begin to believe that, your core beliefs start to change. ✨ Activation In this episode, I guide you through a powerful listening prayer experience where you will: Encounter God’s unconditional love • Release old patterns of thinking • Begin to receive your identity as already accepted and made new ✨ Take the Next Step If you’re ready to begin renewing your mind and replacing insecure thoughts with truth, and If you want to practice listening to God, Get my free 3-Day Listening Prayer Journal and weekly email: https://breakfreefrominsecurity.com/insider Join my private facebook page: Break Free From Insecurity Email me at marji@BreakFreeFromInsecurity.com Find my Show (all the episodes) Apple users: Apple podcast app: https://shorturl.at/LkeY0 Android users: Spotify app https://shorturl.at/htTPr Youtube: https://shorturl.at/3UYKH Or look up “Break Free From Insecurity” on any podcast platform Mentions: Romans 4:4-8 Passion Translation https://shorturl.at/1SSgY The Bait of Satan by John Bevere: https://shorturl.at/2wxtB GIVE A REVIEW!

    04. Why Your Core Beliefs Keep You Insecure and 3 Steps to Change Them
    Apr 27 2026

    Do you ever wonder why you keep reacting the same way—even when you’re trying so hard not to? Have you tried to stop negative thinking, but it just keeps coming back?

    Maybe it shows up as getting offended… feeling jealous… comparing yourself… feeling “less than”… assuming people are upset with you… overthinking… intrusive thoughts… or people-pleasing.

    What if those reactions aren’t the real problem— but just the fruit of an underlying belief?

    In this episode, we’ll talk about what core beliefs are, how to begin identifying them, and how to start replacing those lies with truth.

    Because real change doesn’t happen by trying harder— it happens by going to the root.

    And remember, this is a journey. We take it one root at a time.
