If you’ve been trying to be everything for everyone—and still quietly feeling like you’re failing—this episode is for you. In this deeply honest, faith-filled conversation, we step into the hidden weight many Christian moms carry: shame, overwhelm, anger, and the pressure to get it all right.

You may remember Shayla Huber from her first appearance with us, where God healed and restored her marriage. This time, God goes even deeper—into motherhood itself. You’ll hear how He met her in real life—postpartum anxiety, emotional outbursts she couldn’t control, and a breaking point that sent her crying out to Him after a brutal school-morning meltdown. That very night, her young son looked her in the eyes and spoke words only the Holy Spirit could give—marking the beginning of a healing that changed how she disciplines, how she repairs, and how she now sees her children through God’s eyes.

This is one of those God’s goodness stories where survival turns into restoration. Where yelling no longer has the final word. Where connection replaces control. And where shame finally loosens its grip. These inspiring Christian stories remind us that miracles today often begin inside the heart.

If you’re at the point where you know something has to change in your home and in you, this faith-based podcast episode will meet you right there. As you listen, imagine how God might be moving in your story too.

If this encourages you, follow or rate the podcast so more hearts can find hope. Share it with a mom who needs grace today. And if you feel led, consider supporting the show—your generosity helps these faith and purpose stories reach those who need them most, right now.

What if the Christmas story is richer, deeper, and more surprising than we’ve ever been told?

In this special December episode, Tricia and Murray unpack fascinating historical, cultural, and theological insights that may completely reshape how you see Christmas. With Murray’s trademark bubbly explanations and Tricia’s thoughtful reflections, this conversation explores the backstories behind the story.

We dive into ancient sources like the Protoevangelium of James, exploring traditions that say Mary lived and served in the Temple from a young age, sewing sacred curtains of purple and scarlet. We discuss why early Christians believed Joseph was an older widower — not by accident, but for protection, virtue, and obedience — and what it means that Joseph is called a tekton: a builder, craftsman, and skilled artisan, not simply a carpenter.

You’ll hear about Jesus being born not in a wooden stable, but likely in a cave, why Bethlehem (“House of Bread”) is overflowing with prophetic symbolism, and how the Bread of Life was laid in a feeding trough — imagery that Jewish believers would have instantly recognized.

We explore the Roman census and Jesus being born as the King of Peace in a time of empire, the mysterious journey of the Wise Men (with ties reaching back to Daniel and the East), and even how Saint Nicholas shaped modern gift-giving traditions — including stockings, secret generosity, and yes… a legendary moment involving Arius.

Tricia also shares the beautiful story behind the German Christmas tree, where evergreen life, starlight, and candles point back to the Star of Bethlehem and the glory of God — a tradition often credited to Martin Luther.

The episode closes with a powerful reading from John Chrysostom, reminding us that Christmas is not sentimental nostalgia, but a cosmic turning point — where heaven and earth meet, ancient slavery is broken, paradise is reopened, and God Himself is received in a manger.

This is Christmas as you’ve never heard it before — ancient, holy, surprising, and filled with wonder.

ABOUT TODAY’S EPISODE:

It is such a gift of hearing MORE from the extraordinary leader and a true force in the world of human transformation: Marilize Smit—Founder, CEO, and Global Head of International Coaching for Mind Studio.

I loved my conversation with Marilize so much, we made it into a two part series. In this second episode with Marilize, She discusses how the brain actually drives leadership, decision-making, and follow-through—why high-capacity leaders set bold goals yet struggle with execution, and what neuroscience reveals about sustained motivation and accountability.

We’re also cover—imposter syndrome, inner criticism, and the self-talk that quietly shapes confidence, courage, and clarity. Because the truth is, the quality of your leadership is inseparable from the quality of your inner dialogue.

Later in the episode, we bridge science and faith. If you’ve ever wondered whether neuroscience and Christianity are at odds, today’s conversation will change that narrative. We explore how Scripture’s call to “be transformed by the renewing of your mind” is being validated by modern brain science, and how prayer, meditation, and spiritual disciplines tangibly reshape emotional regulation, resilience, and brain health.

Stay throughout the episode to hear more of Marilize's personal story. Thanks for listening!

She lives in Tennessee and is currently working on a new book focused on overcoming ADD, ADHD, and ASD.

En este episodio hablamos de lo que realmente significan la paz y el gozo… y cómo una mentalidad eterna transforma la manera en que enfrentamos nuestras pruebas de hoy. Te comparto una transición reciente en nuestro ministerio y cómo Dios me ha enseñado que la paz no es la ausencia de miedo, sino obedecer a Dios en lugar de obedecer el temor.
 Cuando recuerdas hacia dónde vas —la eternidad con Cristo— puedes caminar con paz ahora, incluso en la incertidumbre.
