June 30, 2025 S11.01 | Faith Without Action: Are You Waiting on God Without Obedience?
It's easy to pray for breakthrough while staying stuck in fear or inaction. In this episode, we look at the story of Jesus turning water into wine and reflect on what it means to "fill the jars" in our own lives. Are you partnering with God in faith, or just waiting on Him to move without stepping forward?

Join me as we look at how God wants to partner with us in the miracle. You'll be challenged to examine what faith in action looks like for you. If you've been stuck in paralysis, wondering why your prayers seem unanswered, this one's for you.

April 21, 2025 S10.15 | Forgiving Yourself: How to Release Shame and Walk in Freedom
In this personal episode, Carla opens up about her own journey of self-forgiveness—especially in the aftermath of trauma, fear, and hard choices made as a teen. As a Christian mental health coach, she sees this struggle often in her clients: the inability to forgive oneself even after receiving God's forgiveness.

Carla walks you through the emotional and spiritual layers of shame, regret, and condemnation and shows you how to begin releasing that burden. She shares the biblical truths that set her free and will do the same for you. If you've ever felt unworthy of God's forgiveness—or your own—this episode is a must-listen.

April 14, 2025 S10.14 |Replay: Spiritual Abuse, Church Hurt, and the True Heart of God
Have you ever been hurt by the church? You're not alone. A discussion on Church Hurt has been highly requested recently - so I am starting at the beginning with a replay of a Season 3 interview with Pastor Tim Woodcock

In this honest episode, we talk about spiritual abuse, religious manipulation, and what happens when the church doesn't reflect the heart of Jesus. We unpack the pain of church hurt, the impact it has on our identity and faith, and how to begin healing without walking away from God.

If you've ever wrestled with authority in the church, questioned your place in the body, or felt abandoned by spiritual leaders, this conversation will remind you that your pain is valid — and it's not the gospel. Jesus is still safe.
