  • Frozen in the Waiting: Trusting God’s Will in the Hardest Seasons

    Have you ever felt like life just…paused? Like the world around you is moving forward, but you're stuck—waiting for healing, clarity, or peace? In this deeply personal episode, I share a conversation I had with my daughter, who is walking through a cancer journey, about what it feels like to be "frozen in time."

    Together, we reflect on the beauty and burden of waiting on God's will—and how even when we don’t see it, God is working. If you're in a season of waiting, this episode will gently remind you: you may feel frozen, but you are not forgotten.

  • The Little gods We Don’t Always See

    Have you ever wondered why you feel spiritually restless—even when everything seems “fine” on the outside?

    In this episode of The Redeemed Mess, Kathy shares a heartfelt confession about the “little gods” she’s discovered in her own life—things like people-pleasing, worry, control, and even caring too much about what others think. These aren’t golden statues, but the subtle idols that quietly take the place of God in our hearts.

    Join her as she walks through 20 common little gods many of us unknowingly serve and offers encouragement for how to surrender them in exchange for true peace, freedom, and intimacy with Jesus.

    If you’ve been feeling spiritually dry, anxious, or just a little “off,” this conversation might reveal what your heart has been craving all along.

  • Why Do We Always Jump to the Worst-Case Scenario?

    In this episode of The Redeemed Mess, I’m sharing a vulnerable look at my own habit of jumping to the worst-case scenario when it comes to worry—especially when it comes to aches and pains.

    Just the other night, I woke up with sharp, excruciating pain in my side. And instantly my mind went racing: “Is it a cracked rib? A tumor?”
    Before that, it was a pulled Achilles tendon that had me spiraling.

    Sound familiar?

    As women, we often carry the weight of worry. But what if we could shift that? What if we could pause, breathe, and trust the One who holds all things together—even our health?

    Let’s talk about worry, why we tend to fear the worst, and how God’s peace is truly available—one surrendered thought at a time.

    🎧 Tune in for truth, encouragement, and a reminder:
    Not every ache is an emergency. Not every thought is true.

  • Anxiety Isn’t a Lack of Faith: A Grace-Filled Look at Fear, Trauma, and Control

    In this episode of The Redeemed Mess, Kathy opens up about one of her greatest pet peeves: the stigma and shame placed on Christians who struggle with anxiety and panic attacks. She shares her own journey—from once believing anxiety could be controlled by stronger faith, to personally experiencing how real and overwhelming it can be.

    With grace and honesty, Kathy explores why anxiety is not a spiritual failure, how trauma and brain patterns can play a role, and why faith and therapy can absolutely coexist. If you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or alone in your struggle—this episode is for you.

  • Why Good Vibes Aren't Enough

    In this episode, Kathy shares her heart about the rise of “good vibes” and positive thoughts as a way of offering support during hard times—and why, as believers, that simply isn’t enough.

    If you’ve ever felt like the world’s comfort falls short, or you’ve caught yourself saying things like “sending good thoughts,” this conversation is a gentle but powerful reminder of where real peace comes from.

    Let’s talk about the difference between surface-level encouragement and life-changing prayer—and why, as Christians, we are called to something deeper.

    There is One who holds the power, the peace, and the purpose we so desperately need—and His name is Jesus.
