Unmasking Our Counterfeit Comforts-Part 1

In this episode, we get real about the counterfeit comforts we each reach for when life feels too heavy—whether that’s emotional eating, perfectionism, scrolling, or even throwing ourselves into ministry. We open up about how our personal stories shaped these patterns. Heidi shares how growing up with alcoholic parents taught her to cope through control and performance, while Christina talks about how her mom’s trauma from WWII in Germany created a legacy of anxiety and over-functioning in her own life. These habits may look harmless, but they often mask a deeper ache we’re trying to numb.

We also talk about how family history and cultural messages feed these false comforts and how even “good” things—like spiritual routines—can become a way to avoid real connection with God. But there’s hope. Scripture invites us to bring our struggles into the light and let God meet us in the very places we tend to hide. Instead of running from discomfort, we’re learning to pause and invite God in—right in the middle of our mess. Tune in and join us as we unpack the beginning of this healing journey.
