If you’ve been carrying guilt or shame, questioning yourself, or wondering how long this pain will last, this conversation will meet you gently right where you are.

You’ll learn:

If you’re longing to pray without heaviness, to breathe again, and to rediscover hope while walking through estrangement, this episode will remind you that your grief matters, your faith is not broken, and God is still near.

In this episode, we’re discussing what it means to be a prodigal and why they struggle to come back to the Lord. I share a bit about my own prodigal journey, spiritual blindness, and what to do when you feel like you’re at a loss of what to do about your loved one’s spiritual waywardness.

You’ll learn why praying Scripture is one of the most powerful ways to put your trust in God for your prodigals or estranged loved ones who have wandered away from their faith.

Praying for a prodigal can stir up sadness, because it grieves your heart to know that your loved one is not following Jesus. Yet, God uses His Word to draw hearts back to Him, and He uses us to intercede on behalf of those we love.

Whether you have wondered how to pray—or struggled to trust God with your prodigal adult children, siblings, or friends in your life—this episode will encourage you to pray with confidence, peace, and urgency.

Christmas is often portrayed as joyful and full of celebration—but for many Christian women, holidays don’t always look the way we hoped they would. Unmet expectations, grief, strained relationships, or longing for what once was can quietly steal our joy. If you’re struggling with quiet disappointment and looking for peace this week, this episode is for you.

If Christmas doesn’t look or feel the way you hoped it would, this conversation will gently guide you back to the source of true peace.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

If Christmas feels heavy this year, listen in to refocus your heart, strengthen your faith, and renew your trust in God, no matter what this season brings.
