    Introducing PARIS JACKSON: “No Intervention Could Have Gotten Me Sober” from On Purpose with Jay Shetty. Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty Musician and artist Paris Jackson joins Jay for an extraordinarily raw, courageous, and deeply honest conversation on addiction, recovery, and the messy, non-linear journey of healing. Paris reflects on her unconventional childhood, the chronic loneliness that shadowed her early years, and the dark reality of substance abuse that nearly cost her her life and her voice. She opens up about the trauma of adolescent rehab centers, surviving severe mental health crises, and why true recovery requires moving beyond symptom-focused treatment to embrace holistic health, self-grace, and spiritual surrender. Together, Jay and Paris explore the power of inner child work, why pain can be alchemized into medicine, and how finding a conscious connection to something higher can help us feel truly safe in our own skin. Healing is not linear, and growth is not a straight line, it’s a spiral. Every time you revisit a challenge, you are meeting it with more wisdom, more resources, and a deeper capacity for self-forgiveness. Trust that your darkest moments can become your most potent medicine, and that peace begins the moment you give yourself permission to feel it all.

    S12.08 | When God Feels Silent

    Have you ever felt like God has gone quiet? In this episode, Carla shares from her own sabbatical season where God has felt silent - and what He's been gently revealing in that space. We explore the difference between God's silence and His absence, the 400 years between Malachi and Matthew, and why God often invites us to act on what He has already said instead of seeking something new. You'll also learn what it actually looks like to meet God in the silence, why silence feels so uncomfortable, and how to respond in a way that deepens your trust rather than shakes it. If you've been waiting for clarity, direction, or a fresh word from God, this episode will help you remain grounded, faithful, and connected - even when heaven feels quiet.

    S12.07 | When Comfort Becomes an Idol

    As Christians, we say we want to grow, heal, and become more like Jesus - but what happens when that process requires discomfort? From avoiding silence to staying in familiar patterns of brokenness, many of us are unintentionally choosing comfort over formation. This episode unpacks how comfort can become an idol, why our brains resist change, and what Scripture actually says about the cost of spiritual growth. If you've been feeling stuck, numb, or resistant to deeper healing, this conversation will gently challenge and invite you into something more.

We'll explore how this small shift brings peace, clarity, and freedom, along with the science behind reframing your thoughts and the biblical foundation for living a faithful, grounded life.

    S12.05 | He Is Risen: What the Resurrection Means for Your Life Today

    "He is risen." It's a phrase we hear every Easter - but what if it's more than a declaration about the past? In this episode, we explore how the resurrection of Jesus is not just a historical truth, but a present power and a future promise. Because of the resurrection, you are not only forgiven - you are made new. You belong. You are free. And even in the midst of ongoing struggles, the victory has already been secured. If you've ever felt stuck in your past, defined by your struggles, or unsure how to actually live out your faith in a real and tangible way, his episode will ground you in what the resurrection truly means for your life today.

    S12.04 | When God Tells You to Pause: The Power of Seasons of Restoration

    Have you ever felt called to something - but instead of being released into it, you feel like God is asking you to pause? In this episode, we're talking about the often misunderstood and deeply uncomfortable season of restoration. The season where God calls you to step back, be still, and allow Him to restore what has been poured out. Drawing from Leviticus 25 and the Biblical principle of letting the land rest, we explore why God's design includes pause, how our identity can become entangled with productivity, and why hiddenness in Christ is not a setback - but preparation. If you're afraid of losing momentum, being forgotten, or becoming "nothing" in the stillness, this episode will gently reframe what God is actually doing beneath the surface.

    What happens when you're doing "God's work" - but you feel completely burned out? In this episode of Affirming Truths, Carla shares why she is stepping into a 5-week sabbatical and what God has been revealing about identity, striving, and control. Reflecting on Matthew 11:28–29, she unpacks what it truly means to "take Jesus' yoke" - not as a poetic phrase, but as a practical invitation. If you've been hustling for your worth, overworking to prove yourself, or quietly exhausted from trying to carry life in your own strength, this episode will gently challenge and encourage you. You'll learn: What a yoke actually was in biblical times Why Jesus calls His burden "light" How burnout can reveal misplaced identity What it means to let Jesus set the pace This is an invitation to stop striving, release control, and walk beside the One who carries the weight.
