Season 2 Episode 38 | Overwhelmed and Running on Empty? Jesusā Abundance is for You Too (John 21:1-14)
In this episode of What the Heaven?, weāre diving into the powerful story in Gospel of John chapter 21 ā the moment Jesus filled the disciplesā empty nets after a long night of disappointment and exhaustion.
If youāve been feeling spiritually drained, discouraged, stuck in survival mode, or wondering if God still has good things ahead for you, this episode is a gentle reminder that Jesus is not a God of barely-enough. He is a God of abundance.
Weāll talk about:
This Christian podcast episode is for women walking through burnout, uncertainty, emotional exhaustion, faith struggles, or seasons where nothing seems to be working.
Scripture Focus:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This already has a strong emotional voice, but right now it leans more toward:
faith deconstruction
church hurt
āhard and holyā intensity
ā¦while your clarified avatar Hannah is ALSO searching for:
overwhelm
survival mode
emotional exhaustion
healing
burnout
reconnecting with joy
feeling alive again
So the goal is NOT replacing your existing brand voice.
The other major improvement:
front-load searchable keywords earlier
simplify repetitive lines
make the transformation clearer
tighten the emotional promise
Hereās the stronger SEO + emotionally aligned version:

Season 2 Episode 36 | How to Grow Spiritually (Even When It Feels Slow) | Christian Growth & Mindset Shift (Matthew 13:31ā32)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Feel like youāre not growing in your faith? Like your spiritual growth is slow, stagnant, or invisible?
In this episode of What the Heaven?, weāre breaking down one of the biggest lies in the Christian faith journey: that growth has to be big, dramatic, and obvious to be real.
If youāve been frustrated with slow growth, discouraged in your personal development as a Christian, or questioning your progress with Godāthis episode will shift your mindset in a powerful, practical way.
Rooted in Matthew 13:31ā32, where Jesus teaches about faith as small as a mustard seed, we explore how Christian growth actually happens in quiet, consistent, and often overlooked ways.
Youāll learn how to:
Recognize real spiritual growth (even when it feels slow)
Shift your Christian mindset from āIām stuckā to āIām growingā
Identify the small ābudsā of progress in your daily life
Train your brain to see transformation instead of failure
Stay encouraged in your faith journey during seasons of slow growth
This episode is for you if you're walking through a season of waiting, healing, or steady obedience and wondering if itās making a difference.
Keywords: spiritual growth, Christian mindset, faith journey, slow growth, personal development Christian, mustard seed faith, Christian encouragement, growing in faith, mindset shift, Bible teaching Matthew 13
You are not stuckāyou are growing. You just need to learn how to see it.
Until next time friendā¦keep your faith fiery and your eyes fixed on Jesus!

In this episode of What the Heaven? Podcast, weāre talking about how the spring rain doesnāt just wash the earthāit reveals whatās been hiding underneath after a long winter. The dirt, the clutter, the buildup we didnāt even realize was there.
And spiritually? Itās no different.
Sometimes God allows a āspring rainā season in our livesānot to overwhelm us, but to lovingly expose what needs to be cleared out. Old habits. Lingering sin. Thought patterns that no longer align with who Heās calling us to be.
This episode is your gentle (but honest) invitation to do a soul check:
Weāre diving into:
Friend, this isnāt about shameāitās about transformation.
So if youāve been feeling stirred, convicted, or just aware that something needs to shiftāthis episode is for you.

What do you do when you know God led you somewhere⦠but the season still feels incredibly lonely?
In this honest and vulnerable episode of the What the Heaven? Podcast, we talk about the side of life transitions that people rarely discuss ā the deep loneliness that can come with change, moving somewhere new, and starting over.
After moving to Vermont over a year ago, I expected that by now life would feel more settled. Community would be forming. Friendships would be growing. Things would feel⦠rooted.
But the reality?
Itās been far more isolating than I expected.
In fact, after more than a year here, I only have three peopleās phone numbers⦠and we donāt even text regularly.
And while that might sound discouraging, this episode is a reminder that loneliness doesnāt mean God has forgotten you.
Sometimes when God moves us into a new place or season, He begins by growing deeper roots before new relationships appear.
In this episode, we talk about:
⢠The hidden loneliness of moving to a new place ⢠Faith during isolating seasons ⢠Why life transitions can feel emotionally disorienting ⢠Trusting God when community takes longer than expected ⢠What the Bible says about loneliness ⢠Finding hope when you feel disconnected or unseen
We also look at the encouraging truth from Psalm 68:6 ā that God sets the lonely in families ā and what that promise means for those walking through quiet or isolating seasons of life.
If youāre navigating loneliness after a move, a life transition, a new job, or a new calling, this episode will remind you that your story isnāt finished yet.
God is still writing the chapters where connection grows, friendships form, and the unfamiliar begins to feel like home.
Until then, remember this truth:
It wonāt always be this lonely.

This podcast will help you grow closer to God, deepen your faith, and strengthen your trust in Jesus as we study biblical truth and apply it in practical ways each week so you can experience the full peace of Christ.
Hey friend! Iām Riley- a wife, Frenchie fur mom, caffeine addict and Bible teacher who has been in the fiery furnace for so much of my life Iāve gotten pretty comfortable here.haha
When health issues, emotional trauma, family arguments and financial stress came, I consistently found myself reacting emotionally, searching for a worldly solution, or seeking comfort in the hard season through all sorts of distractionsā¦.
Ā
But in Daniel 3, when Sharach, Meshasch and Abednego refused to bow to anything āless thanā God, they were thrown in a furnace, set 7 times higher than usual, and they survived (and actually walked away with a deeper, more rooted peace) by focusing on Jesus Himself not trying to quiet, strategize or organize the flames around them.Ā
I knew I needed to do the same because the solution to an overwhelming season of hardship, confusion and pain is and always will be Jesus Christ our Savior.Ā Ā
I began to dig deep into the Bible and found a deeper love and desire for Christ. And in Godās abundance of grace, that led me to have more resilience, joy & peace in the midst of any suffering I was experiencing.Ā Ā
If you are ready to reconnect deeply with Godā¦.
Fully trust Him at His Word...
And experience a life lived with the true peace of Christā¦this podcast is for you!
