Growing Through It

Leaving Survival Mode | How God Can Make You Soft Again


Listen Later

I think a lot of women secretly want their softness back.

We want to feel gentle again. We want to feel safe enough to be feminine, to be warm. But somewhere along the way, life taught us that softness isn’t safe. So we built walls. We learned how to protect ourselves. We became “the strong one.”

And sometimes that strength was necessary. Sometimes it helped us survive.

But if we’re honest… a lot of us are tired of it. 

In this episode, I want to talk about the tension so many women feel between strength and softness. What biblical femininity actually looks like, why the world slowly hardens our hearts, and how God becomes the place where we can finally lay our weapons down.

Because true femininity isn’t weakness.
Gentleness isn’t fragility.
And softness isn’t something you have to earn from the world.

God is the place where our hearts learn how to soften again.

Where we can be “just a girl” with a father who loves us.
