  • Letting Go of Resentment: A Heart Check for the Redeemed

    Resentment doesn’t always roar. Sometimes, it whispers quietly through unresolved conflict, unmet expectations, or the pain of feeling unseen. In this heartfelt episode, I share how resentment has shown up in my own life—especially when I’ve felt misunderstood or pushed aside by someone I love.

    We’ll talk about where resentment begins, how it can quietly grow, and the toll it takes when left unaddressed. Drawing from both the Bible and the wisdom of the Big Book of AA, I’ll walk you through how we can recognize it, release it, and find healing through grace and truth.

    If you’re carrying the weight of bitterness or feel stuck in silent anger, this episode is for you.
    There’s freedom waiting—and Jesus is ready to help you lay it down.

  • Performing for Approval: The Mess I Didn’t Know I Was Making

    Have you ever caught yourself pretending just to be accepted? Saying yes when your soul is tired, smiling when you're breaking, or serving others—not out of joy, but out of fear?

    In this vulnerable episode of The Redeemed Mess, Kathy shares how years of people-pleasing and performing slowly became one of the biggest messes of her life. She opens up about the fear of abandonment that often hides beneath our need for approval, and how Jesus gently calls us out of performance and into freedom.

    This is a conversation for the woman who’s tired of pretending—who wants to rest, be real, and finally live from a place of truth. You are already accepted. You are already loved. You don’t have to perform to belong.

  • It Takes One to Know One – And That’s Not a Bad Thing

  • Faking Strong: When Holding It All Together Becomes Too Much

    Are you exhausted from always being the strong one? In this heartfelt episode of The Redeemed Mess, Kathy opens up about what it’s like to reach your threshold—when holding it all together just isn’t sustainable anymore. She shares how faking strength can become a quiet performance rooted in pride, and how God gently invites us to be honest, broken, and real before Him.Scripture reminds us: “He holds all things together.” – Colossians 1:17“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:7“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” – Psalm 34:18Let this episode be your permission to stop performing—and start resting in grace. You were never meant to carry it all. Jesus is strong enough for both of you.

  • Let Perseverance Finish Its Work

    When you’re walking through a season of deep trial—like a diagnosis, a loss, or a season of uncertainty—it can feel impossible to find joy. But James 1 reminds us that these trials are doing something far deeper than we can see.In today’s episode, I share how this passage has encouraged me during my daughter’s cancer journey. God is not only working all things for good—He is forming perseverance in us right now. We’ll reflect on what it means to ask for wisdom, to trust Him when things don’t make sense, and to hold on to the promise of the crown of life for those who endure.If your heart is weary or your faith feels shaky, I pray this brings peace to your soul.🤍 Let perseverance finish its work.
