For the month of December, I am taking a step back from the podcast to hear where the Lord is calling me to refine and move into something new.

Have you ever wondered why believing lies about yourself feels easier than believing what God says about you? Or why faith can feel heavy, harsh, or confusing — even when you genuinely want truth?

Do you ever feel guilty, uncomfortable, or “too much” when you need help? What if the real problem isn’t the help… but the beliefs you’ve been carrying about yourself?

In this episode, we talk about why it can feel scary to let others help you and how this may be blocking connection, healing, and peace in your home. You’ll hear a gentle and honest look at why receiving help is part of God’s design for you, and how saying “yes” can actually grow your marriage, friendships, and walk with the Lord. If you’ve been carrying life alone, this episode will show you a better way.
