What if the miracle you’ve been praying for… starts with surrender?

At 25, Renita Brannan’s life was falling apart. Raised by an alcoholic father and wrecked by rejection, she worked harder, pushed further, and wore the pain like armor—until her health, marriage, and identity began to unravel.

Then one day, a friend gently asked, “What do you have to lose?” And that’s when everything changed.

In this episode, Renita shares how a single whispered prayer—“Jesus, please help me”—ushered in miracle after miracle:

A warm presence that filled her body with peace

A dusty Bible that suddenly read like a love letter with her name on it

A soup bottle and a television screen showing the same exact verse, moments apart

️ A supernatural word of wisdom for a stranger that left them weeping

And a total rewiring of her mind, worth, and walk with God

If you’ve been stuck in old patterns… this is your wake-up call. If you’ve questioned if God still speaks… this is your proof. If you’ve begged for breakthrough… this may be the moment.

Listen now to the God’s Goodness Podcast—where modern-day miracles still unfold.

Carrie walks listeners through the deeply personal and spiritual practice of forgiveness — not as weakness, but as a choice to get "unstuck" from what has been holding us back.

• You’re not stuck because of what happened. You’re stuck because of what you believe about what happened.

• Forgiveness isn’t about the other person. It’s about your freedom.

• Forgiveness is a process, not a one-and-done.

Challenge:
Ask the Holy Spirit to show you who you need to forgive — even if it’s you. Write their name down. Speak it out loud:
“I forgive ____ for ____________________. I cancel all offense, unforgiveness and bitterness that I hold against them and I release them to Jesus.”

Your healing matters to God — and so does your freedom. Don’t wait for someone to apologize before you move forward. Today is a good day to forgive… and get unstuck.

What if your child’s disobedience wasn’t defiance—but a cry for connection?

In this episode of Junk Drawer Mamas, Deena and Christina delve into the messy, yet beautiful, work of parenting with love and boundaries—especially when everything feels out of control.

Based on the principles of connection over control, they explore what it looks like to build relationships that reflect the heart of God, even when your kids are pushing all your buttons, boundaries are being tested, and healing still feels out of reach.

Through stories of parenting teenagers, navigating trauma, and learning to communicate with truth and love, this conversation reminds us that we don’t have to parent from fear or control. There’s a better way.

Inspired by Danny Silk’s book Keep Your Love On, this conversation explores how to:

Parent from love, not control

Learn how to discipline with love, not shame

Understand the root behind your child’s “defiance”

Break generational patterns of fear-based parenting

Set firm boundaries that protect connection, not destroy it

Heal the mess in our relationships by cleaning up our own first

Creating a safe space for your child to make mistakes without condemnation

Whether you're struggling with your spouse, your teen, your toddler, or your adult child—this episode is for the mama who’s tired of power struggles and longs for peace and connection in her home.

We’re learning how to stop controlling out of fear, and start leading with love & connection.

Mama, you're not meant to do this alone. God's God you, and so do we. Let's tackle this junk drawer of life together.

TUNE IN NOW as we share how partnering with God in your parenting journey can turn even the messiest, most stressful days into moments of peace and joy.

Do you even recognize when the enemy is attacking you? Spoiler alert: It’s not usually with pitchforks and fire—it’s in your thoughts, reactions, stress triggers, and doubts.

Spiritual warfare is REAL.The enemy can’t read your mind, but he absolutely studies your patterns. Whether it’s fear, pride, perfectionism, or self-doubt, he’ll use it.

Spiritual warfare is personal, not fantasy

But God didn’t leave us defenseless—He gave us armor…HIS armor: Isaiah 59:17 - "He put on righteousness as his body armor and placed the helmet of salvation on his head.He clothed himself with a robe of vengeance  and wrapped himself in a cloak of divine passion."  (Note:  I misspoke in the audio and said Ephesians 59:17. *facepalm*)

Let’s walk through each piece of armor found in Ephesians 6:10-18 NLT, and break down how it applies to real life—yes, even when you’re yelling into a pillow or trying not to lose it in traffic.

• Recognizing enemy attacks and emotional triggers

  • The enemy is strategic. But so is our God.

• How to stop fighting people and start fighting the real enemy

  • Recognize people aren’t your enemy

  • You don’t fight for victory—you fight from it.

• • • Armor isn’t optional—it’s essential for daily living.

    • Belt of Truth & Body Armor of God’s Righteousness

    • Feet shod with the Gospel of peace (hobnail boots!)

    • Shield of Faith

    • Helmet of Salvation & Sword of the Spirit

    • Pray in the Spirit at all times - Prayer is a weapon, not just a comfort.

      What each piece of armor represents and how to "put it on"

       

• Practical ways to stand firm, even when life is a battlefield

  • Intentionally armor up

  • Recognize the real enemy - ask Holy Spirit for revelation

  • Repent of any legal right the enemy may have to you

  • Bind the enemy to the foot of the cross

  • Cover the whole situation with the blood of Jesus

  • Speak and Act in congruence with your identity as a Child of the King

  • REMINDER:  Standing firm doesn’t mean never being hit—it means never staying down.

Challenge of the Week: Every morning this week, before your feet hit the floor, speak Ephesians 6:10–18 out loud. Visualize putting on each piece of armor. Declare it like you mean it—and watch what shifts.

Sister, you don’t need to stay worn down,
