In Episode 8, Is Everything OK With Your Heart? Learning to Unpack What We Carry, we welcome a very special guest, Carmen!!! She is making her podcast debut and we are so excited to share her with you guys! This episode is a heartfelt and honest conversation about what it looks like to intentionally unpack our hearts so we can live healthy, free, and open to what God has for us. We center our conversation around Proverbs 3:5, reflecting on Carmen’s personal struggle with trust and how Scripture has played a key role in shaping her faith. We also draw from Andy Stanley’s Enemies of the Heart, exploring the importance of recognizing what we’re holding onto before it quietly affects our hearts and relationships.

This episode is filled with encouragement on memorizing Scripture, listening to the Holy Spirit, and bringing God’s Word back to the forefront when emotions, worries, or past hurts resurface. Pat also shares the simple but powerful heart-check questions she asked every night—questions that created space for honesty, healing, and deeper connection. As we learn what it means to unpack our hearts daily, we’re reminded that a healthy heart leads to freedom, openness, and a greater awareness of God’s presence. This conversation also lays the foundation for our next episode, where we’ll dive even deeper into communication.

Heart-Check Questions We Discuss: * Is everything OK with your heart? * Are you mad at anybody? * Did anyone break a promise? * Did anyone hurt your feelings? * Is there anything you need to tell me? * Are you worried about anything?
