Entering a new season with God can feel exciting and disorienting at the same time. When you step into new territory, new responsibility, new calling, new visibility, it’s easy to confuse anxiety with discernment and overthinking with wisdom.

In this episode, we talk about how to stop spiraling and start trusting God when clarity feels far away. Using the biblical story of King Jehoshaphat, we break down what faith actually looks like when you don’t have a plan, don’t feel ready, and don’t know the next move, yet you know God is leading you forward.

This conversation is for anyone navigating a new season, struggling with fear or anxiety, or learning how to trust God without constant confirmation. You’ll learn why confusion isn’t a sign you missed God, how to respond when fear gets loud, and what obedience looks like when you’re entering unfamiliar territory.

If you’ve been waiting to feel more confident before moving, this episode will help you reset your focus, regulate your emotions, and take the next obedient step with peace and clarity.

What do you do when a new season begins, and you honestly don’t know what to do next?

In this episode, we explore faith when clarity is missing, pressure feels heavy, and trust feels harder than usual. While the world pushes “new year, new you,” this conversation takes a different approach, one rooted in honesty, surrender, and biblical truth.

Drawing from the story of King Jehoshaphat, we look at a powerful moment where he stood before God in one of the most vulnerable seasons of his life and simply said, “I do not know what to do, but my eyes are on You.” That kind of honesty didn’t repel God, it moved Him.

This episode is for anyone who:

You’ll be reminded that not knowing doesn’t mean you’re behind, it may be the very place God meets you.

In this episode:
Caren shares how a new season requires a new spiritual wardrobe, beginning with the first garment: rest.
You’ll learn why God lets the “fabric of your life” rest before He cuts the pattern for your next assignment, and why stillness is the doorway to becoming the Closet Dressed Woman He designed.

In this raw and sacred episode, Caren opens the door to a deeply personal chapter of her life, the divine story behind why The Closèt includes a “Pay What You Can” option.

What many see as generosity is actually obedience rooted in pain, pause, and prophetic instruction.

Caren shares the dark season where her husband went blind, money was tight, and access to spiritual growth felt out of reach. From that valley came a conviction: no daughter of God should be denied transformation due to cost.

This is more than a business model. It’s a mantle. It’s oil. And it’s holy.
