The podcast just got a glow-up! Say hello to Trust God, Be Confident — the podcast of The Tapestry of Us. In this quick trailer episode, I’m sharing why I renamed the show, the funny story behind the title, and what you can expect moving forward as we grow your spiritual confidence together.

Have you ever felt like your faith is on autopilot — where you’re reading your Bible, showing up to church, but your heart feels distant from God? In this episode, I continue my conversation with Thomas Davis — pastor, ministry leader, and current counseling student — as we dive into what spiritual numbness looks like and how to renew your connection with God.

In Part 1, we talked about approaching worship when you’re carrying shame, guilt, or unresolved pain. In Part 2, we take it further, discussing:

• Why spiritual numbness happens — and how to recognize when your heart has grown cold

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I feel stuck in my walk with God?” or “How do I get my passion for Him back?” — this episode will meet you right where you are.

What does it look like to worship God when you’re carrying shame, guilt, or unresolved pain?

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Thomas Davis — Pastor and ministry leader of 20 years, currently pursuing his Master’s in Professional Counseling — to talk about authentic worship, emotional healing, and how our family-of-origin and past wounds shape the way we approach God.

Thomas shares his personal story of growing up in a performance-driven environment, the anxiety and striving that followed him into ministry, and how worship became a place where he encountered a loving God who accepts us as we are — no striving, no measuring up required.

We also dig deep into:

• Worship when you’re carrying shame, guilt, or unresolved pain — and why authenticity is the sign of someone who’s not hiding from God.

Thomas doesn’t shy away from the real and the raw — and if you’ve ever wrestled with distorted views of God, emotional disconnection, or trying to earn God’s love, this episode will speak directly to your heart.

Key Quote from Thomas:

“Worship provided an avenue for me to encounter a loving God who didn’t ask me to measure up, but accepted me anyway.”

In today’s episode of The Tapestry of Us, we dive into Ephesians chapter 1 to discover the incredible spiritual blessings we’ve received in Christ.

We explore how Ephesians 1 reveals God’s eternal plan:

• You were chosen before the foundation of the world

This episode isn’t just theology, it’s truth for your daily identity, mindset, and spiritual confidence. Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians is also a prayer for you: that your heart would be enlightened, that you’d know the hope, inheritance, and incomparable power available to those who believe.
