    Drifting Away & Finding Our Way Back to God [My Testimony + Encouragement]

    Hey, Healing Bestie! Have you ever felt yourself drifting away from God—caught up in the busyness of life, worries about the future, or just trying to figure things out on your own? I know that feeling all too well. In this episode, I’m getting real about my own struggles with drifting—how I’ve been so used to working, doing, and figuring things out that I didn’t even realize I was moving away from the stillness God was calling me into. Maybe you’re in a season where you feel distant from God, or maybe just in certain areas of your life. If so, this episode is for you. I share how God spoke to me through the lilies of the field (Matthew 6:28-34), reminding me that He provides for everything—even our peace when anxiety rises, our hope when uncertainty takes over, and our clarity when we feel lost. But here’s the question I had to ask myself: Am I running so much that I’m missing what God is already providing? So many of us are used to striving—used to making things happen, used to controlling outcomes, used to the predictability of a paycheck, a plan, or a process. But what if God is inviting us to trust Him instead of running ahead of Him? In this episode, we’ll talk about:-The signs of spiritual drifting & how it creeps in-My personal struggle with being more like Martha than Mary (Luke 10:38-42)-How God gently calls us back—even when we’ve wandered-Why stillness is the key to deeper trust and intimacy with Him Get Ready for Next Week: We’ll dive deeper into practical steps on how to return to God when you feel distant. If you’ve been wondering, "How do I get back?"—we’ll cover that next!

    Episode Title: Falling Forward: Recognizing Spiritual Drift Episode Summary:Hey, Healing Bestie! Welcome back to the Trauma to Testimony podcast. In this episode, we’re kicking off our new series, Falling Forward, with a deep conversation about recognizing spiritual drift and what it means to fall away from God. Toni shares her personal experience of navigating life transitions, feeling distant from God's presence, and realizing the impact of making decisions outside of His will. She opens up about the struggle of doing all the right "Christian" things—praying, reading the Bible, going to church—while still feeling disconnected from God. If you've ever felt like you're going through the motions but missing the intimacy with Him, this episode is for you. We’ll explore what falling away can look like, how one decision can lead to a pattern of drifting, and why true intimacy with God is the key to staying in His will. Get ready for an honest and raw conversation that will encourage you to reflect and realign with God’s presence. Topics Covered in This Episode: The difference between doing religious activities and truly experiencing God's presence How to recognize signs of spiritual drift in your life The consequences of making decisions outside of God's will Understanding that falling away doesn’t always mean rejecting God outright The importance of stopping when God says stop and fully trusting in His plan Scriptures Mentioned: James 1:8 – "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways." Proverbs 3:5-6 – "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
