In this week’s episode, I sit down with someone whose life and legacy have deeply shaped my own faith journey — April Osteen Simons. Like her brother Joel, April brings an incredible blend of wisdom, humor, storytelling, and Holy-Spirit fire as she walks us through the confidence factor that truly changes everything.

April opens up about the life-altering season when her mother, Dodie, received a terminal diagnosis. As a teenager, April stood in the doorway as her parents prayed heaven down, physically watched her mom stand on the Word of God, and witnessed firsthand what it means to “flip the script” with God’s promises. That moment marked her forever — and it’s part of why she cannot be talked out of miracles today.

We dive into the battle of the mind, the discipline of speaking the Word over your circumstances, and why confidence isn’t arrogance — it’s alignment with who God created you to be. April shares practical, powerful ways to rebuild confidence, from opening the curtains each morning to rehearsing your victories to speaking life over your own reflection. Her reminders are simple but profound: You were made for pressure. You are built to withstand. You carry something great.

We also explore the relationship between loving yourself and loving others, the danger of speaking death over your identity, and how your confidence unlocks your calling. April’s words will remind you that your uniqueness is not a liability — it’s your divine assignment.

If you’ve been walking through a dark season, battling discouragement, or feeling unsure of your purpose, this conversation will breathe hope back into your soul. As April says, “Get God’s Word in you until God’s Word gets in you.” This episode is your invitation to do just that.

Ever catch yourself saying, “I can’t,” “I’m not ready,” or “Maybe one day”?
Those two words — “say not” — are the difference between the life you’re living and the one you’re meant to step into.

In this week’s episode, Amy dives deep into what she calls the Confidence Factor — that unshakable belief that grows when you stop letting your emotions run the show and start walking in faith. She shares how the words you speak have creative power and how every “I can’t” is actually blocking your next breakthrough.

Amy opens up about the daily decision to say no to doubt, to fear, and to every voice that tells you you’re not enough — and to instead say yes to the God who made you capable, qualified, and called. She reminds listeners that the foundation of true confidence isn’t self-help or ego — it’s identity. It’s knowing whose you are and walking like it.

You’ll learn how to strengthen your inner confidence through three simple steps:

• Guard your words. What you speak creates your reality.
• Align your thoughts. Don’t partner with fear or scarcity.
• Walk it out. Faith grows stronger every time you take action, even when you don’t feel ready.

This episode will inspire you to step into your next season with boldness, speak life over your circumstances, and build the kind of confidence that can’t be shaken by what’s happening around you.

You know those people who just radiate purpose the moment you meet them? That’s exactly who Miah Youngblut is. She’s the founder of Move with Miah, a Pilates instructor, and a woman on a mission to help others move — not just their bodies, but their entire lives — forward.

In this episode, we dive deep into what it means to keep showing up when no one’s clapping, to trust God in the waiting, and to build discipline even when you don’t feel like it. Miah shares her journey from feeling stuck, inflamed, and uncertain in Florida to building a thriving Pilates brand and community in Iowa. Her story is one of faith, grit, and a willingness to take the next step even when it’s scary.

We talk about honoring your commitments to yourself — because confidence doesn’t come from compliments, it comes from consistency. Miah reminds us that your future self is built on today’s choices and that movement, both spiritual and physical, creates momentum.

This episode will leave you inspired to move — in your purpose, in your body, and in your calling. Because the truth is, your miracle might just be waiting on your movement. 💛

Have you ever felt like your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling? Like you’re crying out to God, but heaven feels silent? I’ve been there — in those seasons where it feels barren, heavy, and like nothing’s moving.

But friend, here’s what I’ve learned: God is never silent. He’s speaking — even when we can’t hear it clearly. And sometimes, the greatest act of faith you can make is to praise your way through the valley.

🎵 “Sing, O barren woman…”

That verse has always hit me. It doesn’t say, “Sing after you get your breakthrough.” It says, “Sing in the barrenness.” In other words, worship right where you are — even when nothing looks like it’s working.

Your song in the middle of the battle does something powerful. It shifts the atmosphere. It reminds your heart that God is faithful, even when life feels hard. Praise isn’t about denying the struggle — it’s about declaring God’s goodness in spite of it.

🔥 Worship Is Warfare

I’ve learned that praise is one of the most powerful weapons we have. When we worship, we’re not just singing songs — we’re shifting spiritual realities.

So many of us talk about our problems instead of speaking to them. The Bible says to speak to the mountain. Don’t just describe how tall it is — tell it to move. Speak life into your situation.

When we open our mouths in worship, fear has to flee. Confusion lifts. Peace returns. And we begin to remember that the same God who showed up before… will show up again.

🌱 Keep Praising, Even in the Waiting

Sometimes we think breakthrough means the end of pain — but breakthrough starts when we choose to praise in the middle of it.

If you’re walking through a hard season right now, I just want to remind you: God sees you. He hears you. He’s working behind the scenes, even when it doesn’t feel like it.

So lift your eyes. Lift your voice. Praise your way through every valley. Because praise doesn’t just move God — it changes you.

🎧 Hit play and listen now to be reminded that even in silence, even in struggle, God is near. He’s faithful. And your praise is paving the way for your breakthrough.

Do you ever start something with fire and excitement — a new business, a fitness plan, a book, a podcast — only to lose steam a few weeks in? You’re not alone. Most people hit that wall, and when they do, they let emotions take the wheel. They quit. And yet, here’s the truth: quitters never win, and winners never quit.

In this episode, we’re tackling one of the biggest reasons people fail to follow through — their feelings. We’ll talk about why emotions are often the enemy of progress, how to push past them, and the daily habits and mindsets that will keep you showing up long after motivation fades.

🎯 Why Most People Quit (And How to Stop the Cycle)

Every January, millions of people start something new. A health journey. A business. A financial goal. And every February, most of them have stopped. The reason isn’t lack of talent, intelligence, or opportunity — it’s that they let their feelings dictate their actions.

Emotions are powerful, but they’re also inconsistent. One day you feel inspired; the next, tired and unmotivated. If you only show up when you feel like it, you’ll never build momentum. The winners of the world don’t have fewer negative emotions — they’ve just learned how to bench them.

🔒 Guard Your Dreams (And Your Energy)

Another trap many people fall into? Announcing their plans too soon. When we tell everyone about our new goals, we get a quick dopamine hit — but we also leak energy. Every time we talk about the dream instead of doing the work, we make it easier to quit.

Instead, keep some goals to yourself. Protect them until they’re strong enough to stand. And when those inevitable days come when your feelings say, “Not today,” choose discipline over emotion.

🧗‍♂️ Hitting the Wall Is Part of the Journey

Everyone who’s ever accomplished anything significant has faced moments when quitting felt easier. From world-class leaders to everyday entrepreneurs, every success story is full of chapters where the emotions screamed “Stop!” and they kept going anyway.

It’s in those moments — when you’re exhausted, discouraged, or convinced you’re failing — that greatness is forged. As Amy says, hitting the wall is what separates the “ain’ts” from the greats. It’s normal, and it’s part of the process.

🔥 Focus on the Mission, Not the Mood

The key to pushing past your feelings is to anchor yourself to a bigger mission. Why are you doing this? Who is counting on you to succeed? What future version of you will thank you for not quitting?

When you have a clear why, it’s easier to override temporary emotions with long-term purpose. That’s what keeps you moving when the motivation is gone, the feedback is silent, and the results aren’t visible yet.

✅ Keep Showing Up — One Step at a Time

Here’s the truth: momentum doesn’t come from one massive leap. It’s built one small action at a time — one decision to show up, one workout, one email, one step. And each small action shifts how you feel.

Action changes emotion. It creates energy. And when you keep showing up — even on the hard days — you eventually cross the line that most people never reach.

💡 Final Thought: Your feelings aren’t always your friends, but discipline, purpose, and consistency will never betray you. Keep showing up. Push past the wall. Don’t let temporary emotions sabotage a future that’s waiting for you on the other side of perseverance.

• 03:12 – Motivation fades, discipline stays
• 07:45 – Showing up when it’s hard

What would your life look like if fear didn’t have a say? If the loudest voice in your mind was faith — not doubt, not anxiety, not what ifs — but the steady confidence that God is who He says He is and will do what He’s promised?

In this episode of You Are More, Amy dives into one of the most important battles we face: the fight between faith and fear. Every decision, every dream, every step forward comes down to which one we choose to feed. And the good news is, you get to choose.

🧠 The Battle Starts in Your Mind

The enemy’s favorite battleground is not the world around you — it’s the space between your ears. Fear often shows up disguised as wisdom or logic, convincing you to play small and stay safe. But when we let those thoughts run unchecked, they shape how we live.

Amy shares how to identify when fear is taking over the narrative and how to start replacing those thoughts with God’s truth. Taking every thought captive and making it obedient to Christ isn’t just a nice verse — it’s a daily discipline that leads to peace, clarity, and strength.

🙌 How to Flip the Narrative

The Bible calls us to renew our minds, and that begins with replacing fear-based thinking with faith-based declarations. When you catch yourself spiraling into doubt or “what if,” pause and speak God’s promises over your situation.

Amy gives practical tools you can use right now:

• Speak Scripture out loud to shift your perspective.
• Focus on God’s character and past faithfulness.
• Replace fearful language with bold, faith-filled declarations.

Each time you do, you’re building a new mental muscle — one that will carry you through the next challenge with confidence.

🌱 Small Steps That Build Big Faith

Faith isn’t built overnight — it’s built one small step at a time. Amy reminds us that progress often looks ordinary: sending an email, starting a conversation, writing the first page of that book. But those small acts create momentum, and momentum builds belief.

Even when you don’t feel ready, keep showing up. Keep taking the next step. And watch how God meets you in motion.

🌟 You Were Created for More

At the heart of this message is one powerful truth: you were made for impact. God placed unique gifts and purpose inside you, and fear is the only thing standing in the way. When you start living from a place of faith, you stop shrinking back and start stepping into everything He’s prepared for you.

It’s time to silence the lies, take authority over your thoughts, and walk boldly into the future with unshakable confidence.

🎧 Final Thoughts

Fear will always whisper what if, but faith will always declare God can. One keeps you stuck. The other propels you forward.

Tune in to this episode of You Are More and learn how to:

• Take every thought captive and align it with God’s truth
• Replace fear with faith and anxiety with peace
• Build confidence through consistent, faith-filled action
• Step boldly into the purpose God created you for
