On the Edge of a Crash Out? What the Bible Says About Anxiety, Overwhelm, and Emotional Health

This episode is for the woman who feels she is one inconvenience away from spiraling. A few months ago I had a real crash out of my own. It started with car trouble but the truth is, the pressure had been building since my son was born in January 2024. We walked through postpartum anxiety, developmental delays, a hospital stay for failure to thrive, feeding struggles, seizures, and financial strain. By the time another unexpected repair bill hit, I broke. My faith wobbled. My hope felt thin.
Then recently, the week before Thanksgiving, I got the call that my mom passed away after a long battle with addiction. While sitting in that grief, our family van broke down with all my kids inside. It should have been another crash out moment. But instead, I heard this: Do not be dismayed.
That took me straight to Isaiah 41.10. the verse God uses to pull you back from fear, overwhelm, and that shattered feeling you can’t put language to. In this episode we talk about:
• What “dismayed” really means and why it hits so deep• How God starts with presence before promise• Learning to receive His strength instead of trying to muster your own• Elijah’s crash out in 1 Kings 19 and why his burnout mirrors ours• How God upholds you when life feels impossible
If you’re carrying fear, anxiety, grief, or spiritual exhaustion, this episode will remind you that God has not left you. You are held. And you are strengthened.

This is a story about obedience, surrender, and what it really means to trust God’s timing when life feels out of control. It’s about learning to let go of your need for clarity and choosing confidence in Christ even when you don’t have the answers.

I’ll talk about how God uses quiet seasons to strengthen your spiritual growth, humility, and identity in Him, and how faith in the waiting can actually bring you closer to purpose and peace.
Expect real talk, honest reflection, and biblical encouragement that reminds you: the pause isn’t punishment—it’s preparation. God may be silent, but He’s not still. He’s forming something beautiful beneath the surface of your story.

23 | It’s Time to Let the Old You Die: Receive Freedom in Christ and Live Authentically You (The New You)

You know those habits you really want to break — the patterns that seem stuck on repeat, even though you love Jesus and want to change?
In today’s episode, we’re diving into Ephesians 4:17–32, where Paul gives us a powerful roadmap for living a transformed life in Christ. This isn’t about behavior modification — it’s about renewing your mind, putting off the old self, and putting on the new one that’s created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
I’m sharing a funny middle school story (involving a not-so-great word choice 😅) and how it taught me that being a new creation isn’t just about what we don’t do — it’s about what we do put on.
In This Episode:
💭 1. Renewing Your Thinking (Ephesians 4:17–19)Paul reminds us not to live — or think — like the world. Transformation begins in the mind. We’ll unpack how your thoughts shape your actions and how to develop a renewed mindset grounded in truth.
🧠 2. Putting Off the Old Self (Ephesians 4:20–24)Through Christ, you’ve been empowered to lay down your old patterns and step into a new way of living. Renewal is a daily process — and the Holy Spirit gives you the ability to walk in true righteousness and holiness.
✨ 3. Getting Specific: What to Put Off and What to Put On (Ephesians 4:25–32)Paul lists what needs to go — and what should replace it:
Put off falsehood → speak truth
Put off anger → forgive quickly
Put off stealing → work and give
Put off unwholesome talk → build others up
Put off bitterness and malice → choose kindness and compassion
Living this way protects unity, honors God, and keeps your heart sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
💜 4. Living a Transformed LifeGod’s goal isn’t better behavior — it’s a renewed heart. Holiness isn’t striving; it’s living out who you already are in Christ. Every day, you get to choose what to put off and what to put on.
