Walking Through The Dark Night of the Soul (A Time When You Feel Distant and Abandoned by God) Oct 30, 2024

Show notes

Today, we’re diving into a topic that many believers experience - the dark night of the soul. If you’ve ever felt distant from God, like your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling, or that you’re spiritually wandering through a desert, this episode is for you. In this episode, I'll define "the dark night of the soul," some reasons we go through it, and share some uncommon, yet powerful, ways to walk through this challenging season.
Remember, this isn't the end of your story. God is with you, even in the silence, and He’s doing a deeper work in you than you may realize. Embrace the stillness, care for your body, lament honestly, and let go of the need to ‘do’ more. Trust that in time, the light will break through.
Rooting for you,
Jessica

The "Good Child" Struggle: Healing from Neglect and Breaking Free from Approval-Seeking (A Root That Could Be Driving You to Perform to Receive Love) Oct 23, 2024

Show notes

In today’s episode, I delve into the experiences of those who grew up as the ‘good child’—the one who followed the rules, stayed out of trouble, and asked for little, yet often felt neglected or overlooked. As adults, many of these individuals find themselves in a constant cycle of seeking approval and validation. We will explore the reasons behind this, its roots in past experiences, and, most importantly, how to heal from it with Christ.

Feeling Distant from God? Break Free from Self-Punishment and False Beliefs (Biblical, Clinical, and Practical Approach) Oct 16, 2024

Show notes

Pain, whether physical or emotional, can lead us to question God’s goodness and presence in our lives. We might wonder, "Has God abandoned me?" or "Why is this happening to me?" These doubts can leave us feeling isolated from Him.
In this episode, I explore the false beliefs that can arise from pain, such as thinking it's a form of punishment or that we're unworthy of God’s love. These distorted thoughts often keep us stuck in a cycle of guilt, shame, and self-punishment, but there is hope! Listen as I explain how to replace these lies with biblical truth, using both scripture and practical tools like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to reframe our thoughts and reconnect with God.

3 Common Christian Phrases We Need to Stop Saying (These Phrases Are Hurting Us More than Helping Us) Oct 02, 2024

Show notes

In this episode, we're diving into three common Christian phrases that, while often spoken with good intentions, might be doing more harm than good. Have you ever heard or even said things like, "All things work together for good," "Everything happens for a reason," or "God allowed this to happen"? These phrases can be problematic when taken out of context or misused. Today, we’ll explore why some of these statements aren't even biblical, how others depend on your view of God’s sovereignty, and when it's crucial to share them with care.

Do You Think God is Withholding Healing from You? A Discussion on God's Love for Us and Our Willingness to Let Him In (Why Doesn't God Heal Me?) Sep 25, 2024

Show notes

Welcome back, friend! I'm so glad you're joining me for today's episode, which dives into a deeply personal topic I’ve had to walk through myself. This isn’t something I talk about lightly—it's a question I hear often from my one-on-one coaching clients: "Why doesn’t God heal me?"
While I’m not addressing physical healing today, I want to talk about healing in terms of emotional pain and brokenness, and how it relates to our beliefs about God’s love for us. If you’ve ever wondered why you still carry pain or questioned if God is withholding healing, this conversation is for you. We’ll explore what it means to open our hearts and invite God into those difficult places, because healing starts with surrender.

Do You Think God is Punishing You? A Discussion On God's Boundaries with Us and Our (Unhealthy) Fear of Him Sep 19, 2024

Show notes

In today’s episode, we’re tackling a powerful and often misunderstood belief: the idea that God is punishing us for the challenges we face in life. Many of us feel guilty, thinking we deserve the hardships we're going through. But God's boundaries are set out of love, not punishment. Together we’ll explore the difference between discipline, consequence, and punishment, and how to break free from the cycle of self-condemnation. If you’ve ever felt like you need to "fix" yourself before coming to God, this episode will offer clarity, encouragement, and a fresh perspective.

Are you Feeling Guilty After Setting That Boundary? Let's Talk Why You Could Be Experiencing This and What To Do About It Sep 11, 2024

Show notes

Have you ever set a boundary and then felt guilty afterward, wondering if you were now the "bad person" in someone else's story? In today's episode, we dive deep into that exact feeling—the guilt that comes with standing up for yourself. We explore why this happens, how pain and self-worth play a role, and what you can do to move past it. Setting boundaries is less about keeping people out and more about creating healthier, more respectful relationships—even if it sometimes feels uncomfortable.

The #1 Thing Holding You Back from Forgiving Someone (Hint: It Goes Beyond Saying "I Forgive.") Sep 04, 2024

Show notes

If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I forgive them,” but still feel weighed down by lingering anger or hurt, this episode is for you. This week, I dive into the often-overlooked factor that keeps us stuck in the process of forgiveness: blame. As someone who struggled to forgive for years, I know this is a hard topic, but my story has offered me valuable insight into how we can move beyond blame and take responsibility for our healing journey.
Forgiveness doesn’t have to include carrying hurt with you forever. By releasing blame and taking responsibility for our healing, we can move forward with clarity and peace.
