Today marks the completion of the 40-Day Soul Detox and the closing of Season 1 of the Soul Therapy Podcast.

This isn’t just an ending.

It’s a sealing.

In this final episode, we anchor in Psalm 112:7 — “They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.”

Steadfast means anchored.

Rooted.

Immovable.

Unshakable.

Over these 40 days, we have confronted fear at its root. We uncovered the Five Toxic C’s — criticism, comparison, complaining, competition, and confusion — and recognized what was hiding underneath them all: fear.

But something shifted.

Fear may still knock.

But it cannot dwell where the peace of God is resting.

In this finale, we confront the deeper fear many won’t say out loud:

What if I finally receive what I prayed for… and then fail?

What if I can’t sustain it?

Here’s the truth:

If God entrusted it to you, He already equipped you for it.

You are not sustained by performance.

You are sustained by obedience.

You are anchored by promise.

Today we declare:

🗣️ My heart is anchored.

🗣️ I am immovable and unshakable in Christ.

🗣️ Fear may come, but it cannot dwell here.

🗣️ The peace of God rests on me.

🗣️ What He started in me, He will finish.

Season 1 closes with stability.

With sealing.

With peace that remains under pressure.

🌿 Season 2 begins next month — and we’re going deeper into Security in Christ.

Rooted identity.

Stable confidence.

Unshakable belonging.

Because when you are secure in Christ, fear loses its foothold.

If this 40-Day Soul Detox blessed you, share the podcast, leave a review, and invite someone into the work.

Your heart is anchored.

Immovable.

Unshakable.

On Day 39 of the Soul Detox journey, we reflect on Revelation 12:11 and the truth that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.

This fast has revealed five toxic C’s that fear produces: criticism, comparison, complaining, competition, and confusion. When fear operates beneath the surface, it steals joy, contentment, peace, clarity, and rest.

In this episode, I share what it feels like to finally rest in peace without the need for recognition in career or ministry. I’m learning that clarity shows up at the appointed time. The next book, the next project, the next role — I don’t have to force any of it.

When it’s time, I will know what to do.

Overcoming is not about effort alone. It is about trusting God’s power and remembering every victory He has already given you.

If fear has been whispering through criticism, comparison, complaining, competition, or confusion, this episode will help you realign your heart and reclaim your peace.

I overcome fear by God’s power.

And I trust His timing.

In today’s Soul Therapy Podcast, we rest in a powerful truth: God is our refuge.

Not a backup plan.

Not a last resort.

But our present help and safe dwelling place.

This episode invites you to release the urge to self-protect, self-manage, and self-defend—and instead, to dwell in God’s covering. When life feels loud, uncertain, or emotionally heavy, refuge is not found in control or clarity. It’s found in trusting where we stand.

Through Soul Therapy Work, we explore what it means to stop running from discomfort and start resting in God’s presence—allowing Him to stabilize our hearts, quiet fear, and remind us that we are not exposed or alone.

Scripture focus:

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” — Psalm 46:1

Let this episode be a place to breathe, reset, and remember:

You are held.

You are covered.

And God is your refuge—right here, right now.

As we approach the end of this fast, today’s soul therapy work calls us to stand firm—not emotionally reactive, not driven by fear, and not shaken by uncertainty—but rooted in truth.

Fear often doesn’t arrive loudly. It whispers doubts, questions our worth, and tries to pull us out of alignment. But James 4:7 reminds us that resistance is not passive—it is an active decision to submit to God and refuse agreement with fear.

Standing firm doesn’t mean arguing with fear or proving ourselves. It means staying planted in what God has already said. When we resist fear by choosing truth, fear loses its power.

Today invites you to check your alignment—gratitude, focus, and love—and to care for your body as part of your spiritual obedience. This is the work of finishing strong: staying rooted, grounded, and in agreement with God as this season comes to a close.

Let truth lead today. Fear doesn’t get the final word.

🤍

Fear often becomes powerful not because it is loud, but because it is repeated. In this episode of the Soul Therapy Podcast, Dr. Dee explores Day 36: Authority Over Fear, focusing on how repeated thoughts form strongholds—and how those strongholds can be dismantled through awareness, truth, and spiritual authority. Grounded in 2 Corinthians 10:5, this episode invites listeners to stop agreeing with fear and start taking thoughts captive as part of their Soul Therapy Work.

Waiting can feel uncomfortable, uncertain, and heavy—but Scripture reminds us that waiting on God is never wasted. In today’s episode of the Soul Therapy Podcast, Dr. Dee reflects on Lamentations 3:25 and explores what it means to place our hope fully in God, not as wishful thinking, but as settled trust.

This episode invites you to release pressure, realign your heart, and recognize how misplaced hope often shows up as frustration or fear. Through soul therapy work, you’ll be guided to examine what fear has been saying, practice daily alignment, and choose obedience and consistency while you wait.

If you’re in a season where nothing seems to be moving, this episode is a reminder that God is still working—and hope anchored in Him produces peace.

🎧 My waiting is not wasted.

Waiting can feel harder than a clear “no.” In today’s Soul Therapy Podcast episode, Dr. Dee reflects on Galatians 6:9 and the weariness that can surface when answers feel delayed. This episode names the fear many of us carry—that by the time the harvest comes, we’ll be too tired to enjoy it—and reframes waiting as a season of transformation, not punishment. Rooted in Soul Therapy Work, this conversation invites you to care for your heart, your body, and your focus while you wait, trusting that God is faithful and your efforts are not wasted.

What happens when the reward you expected doesn’t come—and you realize your heart was leaning on the wrong thing?

In this deeply honest Soul Therapy episode, Dr. Dee reflects on the pain of unmet expectations around compensation, the grief of realizing misplaced motives, and the freedom that comes from returning to full dependence on God.

This conversation explores what it means to release self-reliance, confront the desire for control, and trust that God is truly a rewarder of those who seek Him—not those who try to secure life on their own terms.

If you’ve ever worked hard hoping it would remove your need for God, this episode is for you.

Have you ever felt like you were behind—even when things were finally coming together?

In today’s Soul Therapy episode, we reflect on Ecclesiastes 3:1 and the truth that our lives unfold in divine order, not delay. This conversation explores how fear distorts our sense of timing, while wisdom anchors us in trust.

Dr. Dee shares a personal reflection on servant leadership—how maturity changes the way we view transition, responsibility, and calling. Instead of resisting the present while waiting for what’s next, we learn how peace comes from stewarding every season with joy and integrity.

If you’ve been wrestling with timing, growth, or the quiet pressure to “be further along,” this episode is an invitation to rest in God’s wisdom and trust that nothing in your life has been wasted.

What do you do when God’s promise feels slow—but Scripture says it isn’t delayed?

In today’s Soul Therapy episode, we reflect on Habakkuk 2:3 and explore the tension between lingering and delay. Fear often interprets waiting as denial, but God reminds us that timing is part of the promise—not a contradiction of it.

This conversation is for anyone navigating uncertainty, waiting on clarity, or wrestling with the thought, “What I want will never happen.” Together, we unpack how God’s appointed time is never late, even when the process feels long.

You’re invited to release impatience, realign your heart, and trust that what God has spoken will certainly come—right on time.
