    136. Is God really telling you to break up with your partner?

    If you’ve ever felt a sudden “voice” telling you to break up, and it came with guilt, fear, or shame, this episode is for you. In this conversation, we’re responding to a message that deeply moved us. A man shared that after hearing a sermon, he felt what seemed like conviction telling him he was in the wrong relationship and needed to leave, even though he loves his girlfriend and wants to serve Christ with her. So how do you know if something is truly from God? In this episode, we talk about the difference between conviction and anxiety. We unpack how God actually leads His children. And we share why we do not believe He randomly asks someone to leave a relationship as a test of obedience or trust. If a thought feels urgent, condemning, and heavy, it may not be the Holy Spirit. God’s voice brings clarity and peace, even when it challenges us. It does not trap you in shame or constant second-guessing. If you struggle with relationship anxiety or constantly question whether you should stay or go, this episode will help you slow down and discern what is really happening beneath the fear.

    135. How to Talk to Your Partner About Relationship Anxiety

    👉 If you struggle with relationship anxiety or ROCD, one of the hardest questions is: “How do I tell my partner what’s going on in my head… without scaring them, hurting them, or damaging the relationship?” In this episode, we’re talking about how to have the conversation and how to know when you’re actually ready to have it. Because sharing your anxiety isn’t about confessing every intrusive thought. And it’s definitely not about offloading your anxiety onto them. In this conversation, we cover:     •    How to explain relationship anxiety to a partner who doesn’t experience it     •    What your partner actually needs to know — and what they don’t     ​    How to talk about anxiety without making your partner responsible for managing it    •    Common mistakes that accidentally fuel more anxiety in the relationshipIf you’ve ever worried that being honest about your anxiety might push your partner away, this episode is for you. 👉 Our course Silence the Noise is officially out now!

    134. When the Prophetic Becomes Harmful in Relationships

    The prophetic is often presented as a reliable way to discern relationships — but for many people, it becomes a source of fear, control, and harm. In this episode, we talk about spiritual abuse that took place in the context of prophetic language and relationships, and why relying on prophetic words to make dating or marriage decisions can be deeply unsafe. We unpack how “God told me” has been used to override consent, silence discernment, and create anxiety — and why this approach doesn’t reflect how God actually leads His people. This conversation is honest, grounded, and necessary for anyone who has been hurt or confused by spiritual authority in relationships. 👉 Our course Silence the Noise is officially out now!

    133. When Spiritual Authority Replaces Discernment

    What do you do when spiritual advice about your relationship leaves you feeling anxious, confused, or afraid of getting it wrong? In this episode of When You Don’t Know, we talk about the tension many Christians experience when church leadership doesn’t support their relationship — not for biblical reasons, but because of feelings, preferences, or a perceived “lack of peace.” For many, this creates deep relationship anxiety and the fear that disagreeing with leaders means disobeying God. We explore: • The difference between spiritual guidance and spiritual control • Why anxiety often shows up when obedience to leaders is confused with obedience to God • How God actually leads His people — and why fear, pressure, and urgency aren’t part of His voice • What healthy spiritual leadership looks like in dating and relationships If you’ve ever felt torn between your faith, your relationship, and your own discernment, this conversation is for you. You’re not rebellious. You’re not faithless. And you’re not broken for wanting clarity and peace. 👉 Our course Silence the Noise is officially out now!

    132. When You Don’t Know If Your Callings Align

    You’re in a relationship, but you’re unsure if your callings align. “What if this means we’re not meant to be together?” “What if I’m missing God’s will?” In this episode, we talk about why uncertainty around calling creates so much anxiety in Christian relationships, and why not having clarity doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. We also discuss how fear can disguise itself as discernment, and how to approach questions about calling without spiraling into overthinking. You’re not broken. You’re not behind. And you didn’t ruin God’s plan. Hope you enjoy! 👉 Our course Silence the Noise is officially out now!
