Book: You Will Make Mistakes

Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 10:5, Psalm 139:14, Psalm 14:3, Romans 3:10, Romans 5:8, Psalm 118:5-9, Ephesians 2:1, Matthew 10:31

Have you ever noticed how quickly “I failed” turns into “I am a failure”?

In this powerful episode of The Redeemed Perfectionist, Leneé Pezzano unpacks the subtle but dangerous shift perfectionists make—from behavior to identity—and why that shift sends your nervous system into fight-or-flight.

If you’re a high-achieving Christian woman who swings between pride when you succeed and shame when you don’t… this episode is for you.

You’ll learn:

• Why perfectionism is really about identity, not behavior
• How pride and shame are two sides of the same performance-based mindset
• What Scripture says about boasting, humility, and grace
• How to calm your body using a simple vagus nerve breathing practice
• Why grace isn’t just forgiveness—it’s the power to stop striving

Leneé walks you through biblical truth from Galatians, Romans, Psalms, and more to show how your worth was settled by Christ—not your performance. If you’re exhausted from living on the pendulum of achievement and self-criticism, this conversation will help you step off entirely.

Because your value is not on trial.
 God is not grading you—He is growing you.

Not everything that seems like it should help your marriage actually does.

In this episode, Josh and Shelly break down what they’ve learned firsthand—what strengthened their relationship, what quietly created distance, and what they didn’t realize until they were already in it.

This isn’t theory. It’s what actually played out.

They share the patterns that didn’t work, the shifts that made the biggest difference, and how small changes in how they communicated and showed up began to change everything.

This conversation will help you:

• Recognize what may be hurting your marriage without realizing it

• Understand what actually helps a marriage grow over time

• Make simple shifts that lead to real connection

If you’ve ever wondered what really works in marriage—and what doesn’t—this episode will give you clarity.

What would you do if saving your marriage meant risking everything—your reputation, your safety, even being misunderstood by the very person you were trying to protect? In this breathtaking Faith Through Fiction interview, Nitzevet of Bethlehem—wife of Jesse and mother of King David—reveals the night she disguised herself as her servant Rhea, the pregnancy that resulted in public shame, and the years of silence that followed. But this isn't just a story of deception; it's a story of intercession. Nitzevet stood between her husband and the lie that said God's grace had limits. She carried shame that wasn't hers, endured rejection in her own household, and fought spiritual warfare through worship when words failed. From discerning God's voice from the enemy's whispers ("Fear bears isolation; Yahweh's voice draws you nearer") to the profound revelation that "every wilderness experience has a yes at the end of it," Nitzevet's words will resonate with anyone who has ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or forced to choose between love and law. Discover how a mother's hidden faith shaped the heart of Israel's greatest king, why "crying forward" became her family's spiritual inheritance, and what it means when surrender becomes warfare.

When asked how she distinguished between the enemy's whispers and Yahweh's voice, Nitzevet offers a profoundly practical answer: examine the fruit. Fear bears isolation and comes from the enemy. Yahweh's voice draws you nearer, even in correction. The enemy shames; Yahweh convicts but then restores. This simple yet powerful test gives listeners an immediate tool for spiritual discernment. When anger toward Jesse rose within her, she recognized it as "pride calling itself justice." Her prayers continually reminded her that God was fighting for Jesse's freedom too—reframing spiritual warfare not as destroying people who hurt you, but dismantling the lies that keep them bound.

Nitzevet's decision to disguise herself as Rhea wasn't selfish deception—it was intercession. She stood between her husband and a theological lie (that God's grace had limits based on Moabite lineage) by risking her own reputation and safety. This challenges conventional definitions of "obedience" that equate it with obvious righteousness. Sometimes, Nitzevet explains, "obedience looks nothing like perfection. Sometimes it's love daring to be misunderstood." This takeaway liberates listeners who've made unconventional choices out of love and faith but have been judged harshly for them. It also validates those who've felt led to do something that appeared wrong from the outside but was actually faithful from within.

This phrase, which even made Anna pause and say "I needed to hear that," captures Nitzevet's perspective on suffering with purpose. She endured years of ridicule, ostracization in her own household, and cutting glances in the marketplace—but she held onto the prophetic word she received in prayer: "He will sing." She didn't know what it meant, only that heaven knew her unborn child's name before his first breath. The wilderness wasn't punishment; it was preparation. This takeaway offers profound hope to anyone in a prolonged difficult season, assuring them that their current pain has prophetic purpose and will eventually yield to God's "yes."

Have you ever been told, “You’re too sensitive”?

In this honest and encouraging episode, Tricia and Murray talk about what it really means to be wired deeply — emotionally, spiritually, relationally — and why that wiring is not a weakness… it’s a design.

They unpack how sensitivity can feel overwhelming when you don’t understand it — but becomes powerful when you do. What once felt like “too much” starts to look like discernment. Compassion. Creativity. Spiritual awareness.

Together they explore five core personality expressions — from leaders to nurturers to rescuers to those who see and sense the spiritual atmosphere — and how each type has both healed and unhealed patterns. When you understand your design, you not only grow in confidence, you also learn how to navigate other personalities with wisdom and grace.

They also touch on what it’s like to care deeply — about people’s feelings, integrity, truth, atmosphere, and God’s presence — and how maturity transforms intensity into strength.

Because the goal isn’t to harden. The goal isn’t to shut down. The goal isn’t to become numb.

The goal is to become strong without becoming hard.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why am I like this?” — this conversation will help you feel seen.

You’re not broken. You’re not dramatic. You’re not weak.

You’re wired with intention.

And once you understand your wiring, you stop apologizing… and start stewarding the gift.

Unforgiveness doesn't just live in your thoughts. It can show up in your body.

In this episode with Heidi Mortenson on the Strong Tower Mental Health Podcast, we talk about why symptoms don't always mean the problem is physical—and how prophetic discernment helps you identify whether what you're dealing with is body, soul, or spirit.

If you've been stuck managing symptoms, this conversation will help you get to the root—so you can heal with God, not just cope.

This episode is for you if you:

• Keep dealing with the same symptoms even after you've "done the right things"

• Feel confused about whether you need prayer, counseling, medical help, or all three

• Suspect bitterness, fear, or trauma is affecting your body

• Want a Spirit-led approach to forgiveness, inner healing, and deliverance without weirdness or fear

You'll gain

• A simple way to ask God what's really going on: body, soul, or spirit

• Why unforgiveness can create spiritual and emotional "weight" that affects your life

• How to use triggers as information instead of shame

• A grounded approach to deliverance that's clear and practical

• A powerful prayer for anxiety and panic attacks

Scripture: Psalm 139:23–24
Prayer: God, search me and know my heart. Show me what I'm carrying that You never asked me to hold. Give me discernment to know what's physical, what's emotional, and what's spiritual. Lead me into forgiveness at the root and into the healing You already paid for.
Declaration: I am not confused. I have the mind of Christ. I hear God's voice and I have discernment. I release unforgiveness, bitterness, and fear. I receive God's love, peace, and healing in my body, soul, and spirit.

Have you been feeling off lately, even though nothing is technically “wrong”?

Chronic stress doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like being responsible. Reliable. The one who keeps handling everything.

But when stress becomes your normal, your body begins to adapt, and those adaptations affect sleep, digestion, hormones, inflammation, and energy in ways that can feel confusing and discouraging.

In this episode, Dr. Rachelle Wilson explains:

• What chronic stress actually does to the nervous system
• Why you can feel wired and exhausted at the same time
• How fight-or-flight becomes a long-term physiological state
• Why constant stress disrupts healing
• The connection between faith, trust, and nervous system safety

You’ll learn why your body responds to perceived pressure the same way it responds to physical danger, and why living in that state long term leads to fatigue.

This is not just about stress management. It’s about understanding how the body was designed to function, and why peace, rest, and trust aren’t just spiritual concepts… they are biological necessities.

If you’ve ever been told “you’re just stressed” and felt like that answer wasn’t enough, this episode will bring clarity.

In Episode 7, we’ll go deeper into fatigue, what it really means when your system has been in protection mode too long.

Still Managing What Jesus Healed? Live Inner Healing & Deliverance

If you've been coping, suppressing, or "doing better" but still not free… this invitation is for you.

There's a difference between managing symptoms and actually uprooting what Jesus already paid to heal. In this short episode, I'm inviting you into a live, Spirit-led space where we slow down, discern the real root, and partner with God for inner healing and deliverance — not through striving, but through surrender.

This is for you if you love Jesus, serve faithfully, and still feel stuck in patterns of fear, performance, shame, or emotional heaviness.

You'll gain:

• Clarity on what you've been managing instead of healing

• A safe, live environment to hear God's voice clearly

• Guided inner healing and deliverance prayer

• Space to observe quietly or receive personal breakthrough

This isn't about hype. It's about freedom.

Scripture: "He was pierced for our rebellion… and by His wounds we are healed." — Isaiah 53:5

Prayer: Father, reveal anything I've been managing that You already healed. Give me courage to surrender the root and receive Your peace fully.

Declaration: I will not manage what Jesus already redeemed. I receive healing at the root.
