Have you ever felt like your “yes” wasn’t enough? Or doubted whether you were truly ready for what God was asking of you? In this episode, I sit down with my friend Tara to talk about the quiet courage it takes to step out in faith, even when everything feels shaky.

Tara shares her powerful story of recovery after a life-altering car accident and the way God used that season to strip away distractions and prepare her heart for ministry. We talk about trusting God when the outcome is unclear, spiritual warfare in everyday life, and what it really means to surrender our need for control.

We explore:

• How to trust God’s timing even when it feels terrifying

• The difference between preparation and readiness

• What Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 12:9 (“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness”) meant in Tara’s real-life moments of fear and obedience

• Why community, prayer, and discernment are essential when stepping into the unknown

• How to see God’s hand in the stretch and the struggle

Tara’s journey is such a beautiful reminder that God isn’t asking for perfection. He’s asking for a willing heart.

And friend, if you’ve been sensing a shift in your perspective, maybe through a hard season, a healing process, or even just the everyday moments of life, I would love to hear your story. You don’t need a platform, a following, or a ministry. Just a heart that’s open to sharing what God is doing.

Welcome to Season 2!
I’m kicking things off with a solo episode to reflect on what God has already done and what He might be inviting us into next. This isn’t just a recap. It’s a pause to notice the stories, the voices, and the grace that’s been woven through each conversation we’ve shared so far.

This past season, we’ve talked about hearing God’s voice, trusting Him through grief and change, choosing obedience even when the next step feels unclear, and learning to rest without guilt. These aren’t just stories. They’ve been invitations to look at our own lives with fresh eyes.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through some questions I’ve been asking myself and now I’m asking you too:

• What has God been teaching you lately?

• Where have you noticed a shift in how you trust or respond to Him?

• What feels different in your faith now compared to six months ago?

• Where might He be inviting you to take the next step, even if it’s small?

I also share what it’s like to be a guest on the podcast and why I believe every story matters, including yours. Whether you’re in the middle of motherhood, healing, waiting, or everyday faithfulness, your small steps of obedience are seen. They matter. And God is still working.

I’d love to hear from you.

In this episode, it is just me, sharing what has been stirring in my spirit as we close out this year. I want to remind you that you do not have to wait for a new year or a perfect moment to experience a shift in your relationship with the Lord. That shift can begin right now.

This episode wraps up our Faith Reframed series and continues the conversation. Today, I am talking about why faith is not passive and why God often calls us to stand, not sit.

Faith is not about comfort, appearances, or checking spiritual boxes. Real faith requires courage, awareness, and action, especially when standing feels uncomfortable or lonely.

In this episode, I chat about:

• Why faith was never meant to be passive, and how comfort can quietly stall growth

• The warning against lukewarm faith, found in Revelation 3:16

• How religion without relationship leads to spiritual emptiness

• What it looks like to stand firm, knowing who you are and whose you are in Christ

• Praying with authority, trusting the power of Jesus’ name

• Why standing often requires discomfort, and how God uses it for growth

• My own experience with passive faith, and what surrender changed

• The call to courage and strength, from 1 Corinthians 16:13

• Simple ways to stand daily, Scripture, prayer, obedience, and community

• Why the Book of James is a powerful place to start when faith feels stuck

If you have felt spiritually stuck, disconnected, or unsettled, this episode is an invitation to pause and ask God what standing looks like in this season. You do not have to wait for the calendar to change. You simply have to choose to stand.

Do you have a story where God has met you in a moment of surrender, obedience, or bold faith? I would love to hear it. I am always inviting women to join me as guests on the podcast to share how they are walking with God and putting perspective into practice.
