S.O.A.R. WITH GOD episodes

  • Finish What You Started
    You started strong — so why did you stop? In this episode, Andrea gets honest about the invisible barriers that derail good plans: perfectionism, fear of failure, distraction, and the subtle lie that if it is hard, it must not be God's will.
    You will learn:
    • The real reasons we abandon what we start — and how to name yours
    • How Philippians 1:6 reframes unfinished work as God's ongoing project, not your failure
    • Practical re-engagement strategies when momentum stalls
    • How to decide when to push through and when to pivot with purpose

    S.O.A.R. MOMENT: Identify one thing you started and left unfinished. Ask yourself: Is this still mine to finish? If yes, take one small action today. If no, give yourself permission to release it — and close it with intention, not shame.

  • Counting the Cost Before You Build
    Big vision without a realistic plan leads to burnout, not breakthrough. In this episode, Andrea unpacks the parable of the builder — and why Jesus says sitting down to count the cost is not a lack of faith. It is wisdom.
    You will learn:
    • Why counting the cost is an act of faith, not fear
    • How to audit your current capacity — time, energy, resources — before you expand
    • The difference between a dream and a strategy, and how to bridge the two
    • A practical exercise to align your plan with your God-given capacity

    S.O.A.R. MOMENT: Before you launch your next big goal, spend 15 minutes writing down what it will actually require — your time, your resources, your energy. Then ask God: Is this the right season to build? Let the answer shape your next step.

  • All Things Work Together, S.O.A.R. with God Ep. 20
    Romans 8:28 gets quoted so often it can start to feel like a platitude. Today Andrea slows it down and reads it phrase by phrase — and the promise it contains is far bigger than most of us have received.
    In this episode, she unpacks what "all things," "God works," "for the good," and "those who love him" actually mean, and why this verse is not a denial of pain but a declaration of God's active, purposeful presence in every single thing that touches your life.
    In this episode:
    • Why "we know" is a statement of settled confidence, not wishful thinking
    • What "all things" actually includes — even the things you would not choose
    • Why "for the good" is not the same as "for the comfortable"
    • How to use past evidence of God's faithfulness as an anchor for the present
    ❖ S.O.A.R. Moment: Name the hardest thing you have walked through. Name the good God worked through it. Let that evidence anchor your faith today.

  • God Is Still Writing Your Story, S.O.A.R. with God Ep. 19
    Have you already decided how your story ends? Not consciously — but in the way you talk about yourself, in the ceiling you have placed over your own possibilities, in the conclusion you have quietly written in the back of your mind?
    In this episode, Andrea brings Jeremiah 29:11 off the inspirational poster and into the real life of someone in exile — someone with every logical reason to believe the good chapter is behind them — and makes the case that God still has plans, and plans mean there is more story.
    In this episode:
    • Why Jeremiah 29:11 was spoken into devastation, not comfort — and why that matters for you
    • The mindset shift from "I can see where this is going" to "God knows where this is going"
    • Why refusing to let circumstances write your final chapter is not denial — it is faith
    • A four-pillar application using all four S.O.A.R. steps to activate this truth today
    ❖ S.O.A.R. Moment: Write the area where you feel most stuck. Underneath, write: God still has plans here. This is not the final chapter. Then spend five minutes imagining the story God might still be writing.

  • Who Told You That About Yourself? S.O.A.R. with God Ep. 18
    God asked one of the most penetrating questions in Scripture in the garden: "Who told you that?" Today Andrea brings that question directly into your life — and the limiting beliefs you have been living inside of.
    In this episode, she traces the source of the most damaging self-perceptions back to their origin and makes a powerful case for why identifying where a belief came from is the first step to rejecting its authority over your life.
    In this episode:
    • Why God's question in Genesis 3 is still being asked today
    • The connection between the source of a belief and its trustworthiness
    • How to trace a limiting belief back to its origin moment
    • Why living from an unreliable source has a compounding cost
    ❖ S.O.A.R. Moment: Name the limiting belief, trace its source, then ask: Is that source more trustworthy than God?

  • Renewing Your Mind Daily, S.O.A.R. with God Ep. 17
    Mindset renewal is not a one-time breakthrough. It is a daily practice. And if you have ever tried to sustain a shift in the energy of a single moment, you already know that.
    In this episode, Andrea opens Ephesians 4:23 and reveals the continuous-tense nature of renewal — what it means to keep being made new — and builds a practical 10-minute morning framework that makes daily renewal doable, not just aspirational.
    In this episode:
    • Why the Greek tense in Ephesians 4:23 changes everything about how we pursue renewal
    • What "the attitude of your mind" means and why it matters more than individual thoughts
    • The difference between renewing your mind and just being more positive
    • A 10-minute Daily Reset practice built around scripture
    ❖ S.O.A.R. Moment: The Daily Reset — one verse absorbed slowly, one default setting it challenges, carried through the day three times.

  • The Path Gets Brighter, S.O.A.R. with God Ep. 16
    Are you measuring your progress against someone else's position? Feeling like the gap between where you are and where you want to be is disqualifying?
    In this episode, Andrea offers a different frame — one that measures progress against where you started, not where someone else is. Drawing from Proverbs 4:18, she unpacks why the path of the faithful does not stay dim. It gets brighter.
    In this episode:
    • Why comparison is one of the most dangerous forms of discouragement
    • What the image of the morning sun tells us about a life walked with God
    • Why people who reflect and refine walk an ever-brightening path
    • How to measure growth in who you are becoming, not just what you have accomplished
    ❖ S.O.A.R. Moment: The Light Inventory — what do I know now, where have I grown, and where is the path brighter than a year ago?

  • New Every Morning, S.O.A.R. with God Ep. 15
    Some days you do not finish well. Some seasons end with more questions than answers. And the enemy would love for you to carry yesterday's weight into today.
    In this episode, Andrea draws on one of the most remarkable declarations in Scripture — written not from comfort but from rubble — and teaches what it means to receive the fresh start built into every single morning.
    In this episode:
    • Why Lamentations 3 is one of the most powerful contexts for this promise
    • What "new every morning" means for the person carrying yesterday's failure
    • The difference between mercy that diminishes and mercy that replenishes
    • A 3-minute Morning Reset practice to start every day from a place of grace
    ❖ S.O.A.R. Moment: The Morning Reset — release yesterday, receive what God has for today, set one intention.

  • Dreams Without Deadlines Are Just Wishes
    How long have you been carrying a dream that you have not yet written down? A vision without a date, a plan without steps, a calling without a calendar?
    In this episode, Andrea takes Habakkuk 2:2-3 seriously and builds a practical case for why writing your vision is not just a productivity tip — it is a specific, scriptural instruction that God gave for a reason.
    In this episode:
    • Why the instruction to "write it down and make it plain" is still for you today
    • The difference between a vision in your head and a vision on paper
    • What "make it plain" actually requires of your specificity
    • How to turn a dream into a 90-day actionable plan
    ❖ S.O.A.R. Moment: Write the vision plainly. Identify three 90-day steps. Put a date on each one.

  • Commit Your Plans to God
    There is a version of planning that is entirely self-reliant. And then there is a version built in partnership with God. Today we talk about the difference — and what it produces.
    In this episode, Andrea digs into Proverbs 16:3 and unpacks what it actually means to commit your plans to God, why the Hebrew word for "commit" means to roll your burden onto someone else, and what God promises to do with the plans you surrender to him.
    In this episode:
    • What the Hebrew word galal reveals about true commitment
    • Why "he will establish your plans" is better than "he will make them easy"
    • The difference between plans you commit and plans you clutch
    • How to hold your best ideas loosely without losing momentum
    ❖ S.O.A.R. Moment: Write your most significant plan in specific terms, pray it over, and surrender it with open hands.
