LIE: Bible study is for Experts only vs. TRUTH: God’s Word Is for Everyone (with Kristin Nave @shelovesbible) Oct 06, 2025

Ever felt like deep Bible study is only for pastors, church leaders, Christian influencers, or scholars full of commentaries and Hebrew concordances? I mean, they have degrees in that stuff. They’re trained in theology. They just GET the Bible in a way ordinary Christians don’t. But... me? I’m just normal. I love Jesus and I believe the Bible is God’s very Word that I respect and honor, but I didn’t go to seminary, I’m not bilingual, and I wouldn’t even know where to start.

Join Kristin Nave and podcast host Heidi Lee Anderson to dismantle the lie that deep Bible study is just for experts. They share honest stories, relatable struggles, and practical ways to approach Scripture--with or without a seminary degree.

You’ll hear:

Why Bible study is for every believer—not just the “professionals”
Deep study doesn't always mean complex methods
Highlighting and journaling can enhance Bible study
The role community plays in understanding Scripture
Simple, doable tips for studying the Bible with confidence
How God’s mercy meets us right where we are—not where we think we “should” be

Kristin reminds us that God’s Word was never meant to be locked behind titles, training, or theology degrees. This episode is a gentle but powerful invitation to open your Bible with curiosity, freedom, and expectation.

Whether you’re brand new to Scripture or returning after feeling disqualified, this conversation will remind you: you are invited to the table.

LIE: Find yourself vs. TRUTH: Find Him (Identity Crisis with Alena Franklin) Sep 29, 2025

Ever been told to “look within” to discover who you really are? Maybe it came in the form of self-help advice, motivational quotes, or even well-meaning encouragement. But here’s the problem: when we look inward for identity, we buy into the very lie keeping us lost.

On this episode of Trade a Lie for a Truth, join Heidi Lee Anderson and Alena Pitts Franklin (actress, vocalist, and author of the devotional God Is) to uncover together the cultural lie that identity starts within... and exchange it for the life-giving truth: before we can know who we are, we must first know who God is.

✨ What you’ll discover in this episode:

➖Why the “search within” advice always leaves us empty

➖How Alena personally wrestled with identity and found freedom in Christ ➖The role honesty plays in reshaping our view of God and ourselves ➖How God’s unchanging character transforms our perspective on purpose, talents, and even past mistakes 📖 Scripture Highlight: Ephesians 2:10 – “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Together, let’s trade the lie for the truth: God’s Word isn’t dull, uninteresting, irrelevant, but alive, active, rich, and full of life. Listen in to discover encouragement, practical wisdom, and renewed hope for opening your Bible with fresh eyes.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why we sometimes feel like Scripture is dry
How to approach God’s Word when you’re in a spiritually dry season

LIE: Fear Gives Good Counsel vs. TRUTH: God is the Wise Counselor (with Susie Larson) Sep 15, 2025

You know those warnings that go off in our mind?

“You better prepare for the worst.”
“You can’t trust people — you’ve been hurt before.”
“God might not come through this time.”
“Play it safe. Don’t risk it.”

It sounds like wisdom. It feels like caution. But underneath, it’s fear. And fear is not the fruit of a good counselor — it’s the evidence of a liar.

Scripture tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7 that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and a sound mind. That means anytime fear is steering the ship, God isn’t the one driving.

The enemy loves to masquerade as someone looking out for you. He’ll disguise fear as foresight. He’ll present anxiety as “being realistic.” But he’s not protecting you — he’s paralyzing you. Why? Because fear shrinks your faith. It keeps you stuck. It puts you in self-preservation mode instead of God-trust mode.

So today, how about you join Susie Larson and me in trading that lie — the enemy’s warnings are worth listening to — for this truth: God alone gives wise counsel, and His perfect love casts out fear?

Susie Larson is a bestselling author, national speaker, and host of the popular radio show Susie Larson Live, and her book, Closer Than Your Next Breath was a finalist for the ECPA book of the year in 2024. More at https://www.susielarson.com.

You Missed Your Chance vs. It's Never Too Late with God (with Sarah Molitor @modernfarmhousefamily) Sep 08, 2025

Have you ever believed the lie that it’s too late? Too late to change careers, too late to repair a relationship, too late to step into your calling, or too late even to return to God? The enemy loves to whisper, “You’ve missed your chance. The door is closed. The opportunity wasted. It’s all downhill from here. Your story is over.”

Good news: the Word of God tells us something very different.

Join me as I chat with Sarah Molitor @modernfarmhousefamily, who opens up about a time she took a big risk and in turn, fell behind compared to friends... and what came of that. (Spoiler: She met her husband + God proved once again, with Him, it's never really too late.)

The Real Purpose of Marriage: Happy or Something Better? (with Ryan + Allie Lundeen @proverbsthirtyonegirl) Sep 08, 2025

Marriage is supposed to make us happy, right? I mean, that's what we've been sold: the perfect spouse, the fairytale wedding, the happily ever after. It sounds good, right? But what happens when life doesn't follow the script? When your spouse disappoints you, says things that kind of make you mad, or just doesn't complete you like rom-coms promise?

Suddenly that belief that marriage is here to make us happy, it starts to feel less like a dream and more like a setup... a setup for bitterness, for disappointment, maybe even walking away. So today we are trading that lie for a truth that is harder, but it is better because what if marriage wasn't meant to complete you, but to grow you, to make you more like Christ?

Join my husband and me as we chat with Ryan and Allie Lundeen @proverbsthirtyonegirl for an exclusive true confessions interview talking about how God confirmed “this is who you're gonna marry,” counter-cultural ideas of marriage, and personal stories we didn't even know we'd share.😂

I Feel Defeated vs. I am Victorious in Christ (with Heidi Lee Anderson) Sep 08, 2025

Ever feel like life just keeps knocking you down? No matter how hard you fight, no matter how much you pray, you just can’t seem to win? Have you ever wondered why the battles feel so constant, or caught yourself thinking, ‘I’ll never get past this struggle’? Maybe you’ve questioned if you’ll ever feel strong or free again.

But what if defeat isn’t your story at all? What if it’s just the enemy’s script—and God has already written a different one? Today, we’re trading the lie of ‘I feel defeated’ for the truth: ‘I am victorious in Christ.’

Join me in this episode of my podcast Trade a Lie for a Truth, as I open up about my personal journey as a cancer survivor and emphasize the importance of recognizing our giants against the scope of our great God. Ultimately, I talk about how God helped me overcome this giant of fear and ultimately, why He allows trials in the first place. Together, let’s actively seize the abundant life promised in Christ and move forward in His victory.

Takeaways:

Life can feel overwhelming, but as Christians, defeat isn't our story.
We think thousands of thoughts daily, many are negative, but we can trade them for the truth.
Every trial is a test of faith, set up for our victory.
God's promises are fulfilled in Christ, and it’s time to live in them.
We cannot wait for problems to disappear to find happiness. Jesus offers the free, abundant life in Him today.
Possession of God's promises requires action and faith.

I Can Do It All vs. I Can’t (and Shouldn’t) Do It All with Heidi Lee Anderson May 20, 2024

Ever tried juggling all the things?

Work, mom life, extracurricular activities? Clean house, toned body, healthy meals? Volunteering at church, keeping up with the yard, staying on top of emails, meeting up with friends, and organizing the toys? Not to mention, reading your Bible and being a loving, attentive wife?

Join me as I pull back the curtain of my life and share a behind-the-scenes look into what God is actively teaching me and I believe has for me in this next season ahead. While it’s tempting to want to do it all, the truth is freeing: we are limited human beings with time constraints and physical limitations, so we can’t do it all—and even better… we shouldn’t do it all.

In the end, we can trade that crippling lie (you can do it all) for the truth: There are some things in this season that need our focus, so there are some things in this season we can step away from.

Sit in Ecclesiastes 3 with me, and together, let’s ask God and find out for ourselves what should be our top priority in this current season of life.

God Won't Give You More Than You Can Handle vs. What He Can Handle with Elle Cardell, Daughter of Delight May 13, 2024

Have you ever heard someone say, "God won't give you more than you can handle"?

But then life happens, and you do face more than you can handle. There's a diagnosis that's far bigger than you. Bills that seem insurmountable. Your child’s challenges that are far out of your control. The strains in your marriage, well… it's all requiring a lot more from you than you feel like you have left in you.

Today, we're going to talk to someone who gets it. Elle Cardell, founder of Delight of Delight, is going to share more about her story and help us trade this lie for the freeing truth.

God may give you more than you handle—but it’s never more than He can.

All Religions Point to the Same God vs. There's Only One True God, with Pastor Jason Carlson May 06, 2024

A Jehovah’s Witness knocks at the door, reciting Bible verses.

A Mormon posts on social media, talking about the grace of God and following Jesus.

A Muslim prays… do all religions really lead to the same God?

And what about atheists and the God they disbelieve in?

Join me as I interview one of the nation’s leading apologists, Pastor Jason Carlson, as he tackles the lie, “All religions point to the same God.” Not only will we learn about the key polar differences in each religion, but we’ll also get valuable conversation tips as we interact with nonbelievers and hear about the most convincing piece of evidence that the God of Christianity is the one true God.

In the end, let’s trade this lie for the truth: Jesus is God, and He’s the only Way, the Truth, and the Life.

I Don't Belong vs. I Belong in Christ + the Church, with Caroline Saunders Apr 29, 2024

Ever felt like you don't belong?

Maybe it’s because you homeschool and everyone else sends their kid to public. Or you moved, and while everyone else has their people, you have to start fresh with all strangers. Or maybe it’s in your job—you’re a Christian and everyone else… let’s just say doesn’t show the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

Whatever it may be, we’ve got to tackle this lie, because because God has gone to great lengths to give you a place of belonging.

Join me as I interview my friend Caroline Saunders, author of her latest Bible Study Come Home as we trade this lie "I don't belong" for the truth "I belong in Christ and in the Church."

Joy Comes When Life is Perfect vs. Joy is Yours Today, with Hannah Crews @hannahcrews.blog Apr 15, 2024

Ever thought, “Once I can get past this, I’ll have joy again”?

Here’s the deal: While happiness is based on circumstances, joy comes from something—er, rather, someone—completely different. Once we understand what it is and learn from the Bible how to get it, then we can live with joy TODAY.

Join me as I interview Hannah Crews, popular social media content creator @hannahcrews.blog and author of the Goodness Gracious devotional, to hear her story, talk about Bible characters who get it, and move forward in the path God has for us to receive joy.

In the end, let’s trade this lie that “joy comes when life is perfect” for the truth that “life will never be perfect, but since a fruit of the Spirit is joy, I can have it today.”

I Could Never vs. I Can Through Christ, with Katie Klein @littlehouselearningco Apr 08, 2024

Have you ever thought, “I could never do that”?

I could never be a SAHM.

I could never start my own business.

I could never go back to school or try a different career.

Today, we’re talking to someone who originally thought, I could never homeschool,” but now finds herself at home, educating her 3 kids, and would never trade it for the world.

How did she get there? And how can we get to that place of confidence too?

Join me and Katie Klein, popular content creator at Little House Learning Co., as we talk about a Bible character who gets it, pull truths from his story to apply to ours, and find out how to move forward in the plan and purpose God has for us.

In the end, let’s trade the lie that "I could never ________" for the truth that "I can do what I am called to, by Christ who equips me" (Hebrew 13:21).

To Get The Life You Want, You Have to Chase It Down vs. Slow It Down, with Jennifer Dukes Lee Mar 25, 2024

Have you ever bought into the lie of hustle culture that’s screaming, “To get the life you want, you have to chase that life down!”? You know, work 24/7. Be available around the clock. Run yourself into the ground.

Basically, if you want it, you gotta make it happen… all day, every day.

But what if that’s not true? What if to get the life you want, you actually have to slow it down? Join me as I interview Jennifer Dukes Lee, bestselling author of several books including, Growing Slow, It’s All Under Control, and Stuff I’d Only Tell God, as she retells her story, ties seasons on the farm to seasons in life, and helps us grasp a slower paced life.

In the end, you’ll be able to trade this lie for the truth: To get that life you want, you don’t have to chase it down… you just need to follow Jesus, who is the Life.

It’s Never Gonna Get Better vs. It's Only a Season Mar 18, 2024

💭Have you ever thought, “This is just how it is? It’s never gonna get better? It’s gonna last forever?”

The good times seem to fly on by💨, but when we keep seeing that negative pregnancy test month after month, when our child’s struggles at school continue to be there, or a chronic illness has shadowed many of your days and there’s no hope of healing on the horizon...

👉It’s in these moments we can entertain the lie that “it’s never gonna get better,” but when we do, we lose one of the most important things God has ever given us: hope❗️

Today, I want to speak to the person whose hope quotient is so low, and to even hope, wish for better, long for more… well, you just don’t feel like you have it in you anymore. 🗣️Through the power of the Holy Spirit who raised Christ from the dead, I believe He’s going to restore some dead things in our souls today too and resurrect it back to life.

Something so bad, so tragic, so horrific happened that it was almost spoken as a reassurance or thought to make you feel better. Like “how could a good God have allowed something so bad?”

But is it true? And does it actually make you feel better?

Join me as I interview Amber Smith, host of the Arise podcast and wife to Granger Smith. She retells the story of her 3-year-old son drowning, how she met Jesus during this time, and how God has turned their life upside down for the good.

In the end, we’ll be able to trade this lie for the truth: Quite the opposite of God having nothing to do with it... God is in this with you. He is intimately involved in the details of your life, and His sovereignty is actually the reassurance needed to pull you through.

If I do _____, Then I’ll Be a Success: Your Identity Crisis with Mariela Rosario, She Speaks Fire Mar 04, 2024

Have you ever bought into the lie that if you do ______, then you’ll be a success… a good mom, a good wife, impressive to others, and finally, loved and accepted?

If so, you’re gonna want to join me as I interview Mariela Rosario, Author and Founder of She Speaks Fire, as she retells a fresh look into the Genesis Garden, those figurative fig leaves we tend to pick up today, and her own story of drug addiction and freedom found in Jesus’ name. Trust me when I say you’re gonna want to close your eyes and bask in this firehose of encouragement and truth.

In the end, as we together pick up the Sword of the Spirit to demolish this lie, we’ll be able to trade it for the truth: Our identity is secure in Christ, and we are already redeemed, loved, accepted, and complete.

Good People Go to Heaven: Only One is Good with my husband, Ty Anderson Feb 26, 2024

Ever heard, "All good people go to heaven"? Whether it’s Islam, Judaism, or secular humanism, the common belief of culture today is that getting into heaven is just a matter of following the Ten Commandments or the precepts of the Quran or the Golden Rule... ultimately, just "being a good person." But is this true? Let’s find out today. My husband grew up learning about religion, but when he heard about a relationship? Everything changed. Join us in this new episode as Ty retells a key conversation with his mom, how that split up his family each Sunday, the word he heard from God, and the truth he lives to tell today. In the end, let's trade the lie that "good people go to heaven" for the truth that "only One is good, and if you believe in Him as your Lord and Savior, you can be confident you're going to heaven."

When Things are Hard, God is Punishing Me: No Condemnation in Christ, with Amy Seiffert Feb 12, 2024

Have you ever wondered, “When things are hard… God must be punishing me”? When you experience something painful—a trial within your marriage, your home, your finances, or your health—it can be easy to buy into this lie that God is punishing us because of something we said or did.

But there is some good news found in Jesus.🙌

Join Amy Seiffert and I as we talk about the heart of the Father, the difference between punishing vs. correcting, and God’s motivation behind allowing trial to come into our lives.

In the end, you’ll be able to trade this lie for the truth: Even when things are hard, there’s more going on because I know God isn’t punishing me—since Christ is the complete Sacrifice and there’s now no condemnation for those found in Him.

God’s timing isn’t (always) best: Our Plans vs. His, with Tara Sun at Truth Talks with Tara Feb 05, 2024

We’ve heard God’s timing is always perfect, but have you ever doubted it?

When plans go south, bad news comes, and the trajectory keeps getting worse, it’s at this point we start to entertain this lie, don’t we? Because we know how to turn the story around! We have it all mapped out in our mind + in our prayers, and we know what would usher in the redemption and give us that happy ending we’re craving… if only God would do it.

Join Tara Sun (from Truth Talks with Tara) and I as we share our stories and tackle this lie in order to trade it for the truth: His timing is better, redemptive, good, and always perfect.

Ever feel like your children are a burden?

Maybe you've never thought it, but others certainly have when they're giving you the look at the grocery store, annoyed you brought them on the plane, and making it seem like you all need to walk on egg shells when visiting a family member's house.

Join Ariel Tyson and I as we look to God's Word to hear what He has to say on the subject, and as we look at one psalm in particular, we'll uncover the absolute truth that, no matter how other people view our kids, God says they are 3️⃣ things in particular that should shape our perspective.

In the end, let's trade this lie for the truth: Children are indeed a blessing.

Everyone is More Put Together Than Me: Comparison Trap with Crystal Paine, The Money Saving Mom Jan 15, 2024

To fight the lies found in every comparison trap, we need to uncover 2️⃣ truths: who we are in God and the reality of every person we're comparing ourselves to.

Join Crystal and I as we root out our identity in Christ, uncover how to (practically) find worth in God alone, and recognize and embrace our unique gifts and talents to live in the fulfillment that can only come from our God-given purpose.

In the end, let's trade this lie for the truth: I am a sinner saved by grace, who falls short, yes... yet even still, now in Christ, I am complete.

When Life is Bad, How Can God Be Good? Jan 08, 2024

When bad news comes, curveballs are thrown + the trajectory looks worse...where's God? We know He could do something, so then why hasn't He? Why isn't He?

In the end, let's trade this lie for the truth: Even if things look bad, God is still very good.

Trade a Lie for a Truth Trailer Dec 03, 2023

On any given day, we think 50,000-80,000 thoughts. Of those, 98% are the same ones from yesterday. Which means we just keep thinking the same stuff over + over + over again…

Which is great if it’s all true, encouraging, good. But with the father of lies on the loose, my guess is… they’re not.

So join me each episode as we pick up the Sword of the Spirit to follow the voice of truth, seizing the free abundant life in Christ one thought at a time.
