    Anger: The Emotion We're Afraid to Feel

    Can Christians be angry? Yes. Should we? Sometimes. The real question isn't whether anger shows up, it's what we do when it does. In this episode, we're talking about the emotion many of us are afraid to feel. Anger often feels dangerous or out of control, so we tuck it away, soften it, rename it anything but anger. Yet Scripture refuses to let us pretend it doesn't exist. Ephesians 4:26 says "Be angry and do not sin" telling us that anger itself is not automatically sinful. We'll look at how Jesus expressed righteous anger, examine what happens when anger goes unprocessed (bitterness, explosive reactions, hardened hearts), and discover how to steward anger well. You'll learn to name it clearly, ask what it reveals about your values, bring it to God first, and address it righteously rather than reactively. Because anger unprocessed becomes a weight. And stewarded well, anger can fuel justice, set boundaries, and protect what matters. Scripture: Ephesians 4:26, Mark 3:5, Psalm 4:4, James 1:19-20 Follow along on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and YouTube @TheRestoredOrchard and visit www.therestoredorchard.org for more resources.

    Overcoming Fear: When Anxiety Keeps You From Obedience

    What if fear is one of the main reasons we stall out in obedience? Not because we don't love God or lack faith, but because fear gets loud and obedience starts to feel costly. In this episode, we're exploring fear and anxiety as emotions to steward. Fear is God-designed, alerting us when something we value feels threatened, but when fear moves from being informative to directive, it becomes a hindrance to the race God has set before us. We'll look at Peter sinking on the water, the paralyzed man at the pool of Bethesda, and the servant who buried his talent. All moments where fear shaped the response. You'll discover the four fear responses (fight, flight, freeze, and fawn) and learn practical steps to steward fear well: naming it specifically, bringing it honestly to God, remembering His character, and obeying anyway. Because courage isn't the absence of fear. It's obedience while fear is still present. You can feel afraid and still obey.

    Unhindered Emotions: How Your Emotions Can Keep You From the Things God Has For You

    What if the biggest obstacle to your faithfulness isn’t your circumstances, but your unprocessed emotions? In this episode, we talk about why emotions are God-designed, why ignoring them quietly hinders spiritual growth, and how bringing them honestly before the Lord leads to freedom. You’ll learn how unprocessed emotions cloud judgment, drain energy, distort identity, and distance us from God and how Scripture invites us to steward our emotions instead of suppressing them.

    Rest Isn’t Laziness — It’s Stewardship

    We live in a culture that glorifies exhaustion and calls rest weakness, but Scripture tells a different story. In this episode, we unpack why rest is not a lack of faith. It’s an act of trust and obedience. Rooted in Psalm 23 and God’s design for Sabbath, this conversation addresses the guilt many women carry around slowing down. If you’ve ever felt pressure to keep producing, proving, or pushing through even when your body and soul are tired, this episode is an invitation to release that weight. Learn how stewarding your soul through rest actually positions you to live faithfully, clearly, and unhindered.

    Stewarding Your Capacity: Why Saying No Is an Act of Faith

    We often think faithfulness means saying yes to every opportunity, but Scripture tells a different story. In this episode, we talk about why saying no is sometimes the most obedient thing you can do. Rooted in Exodus 18 and the wisdom Moses received from Jethro, this conversation explores how overfunctioning can look spiritual while quietly leading us toward burnout. If you’ve felt pulled in too many directions, afraid to say no because you don’t want to miss your moment, this episode is for you. Learn how discernment, seasons, and trust in God’s timing help us steward our capacity so we can live faithful, unhindered lives.

    Why Distraction Is Stealing Your Faithfulness (and How to Reclaim It)

    Distraction doesn’t always look like rebellion. Sometimes it looks like busyness, good intentions, and saying yes to too many things at once. In this episode, we talk about how noise, comparison, phones, and overcommitment slowly pull us away from what actually matters and how Jesus invites us back to attentiveness at His feet. Rooted in the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10), this conversation explores why faithfulness requires focus, how distraction fractures our spiritual clarity, and what it looks like to intentionally make room for God in a world that constantly demands our attention. This episode offers practical steps for replacing distraction with deeper connection and learning how to steward your attention without guilt or shame. If you’ve been feeling scattered, spiritually foggy, or stretched thin, this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen again, and choose the better portion.

    Faithful Without Burnout: A Reflection on Stewardship

    What if faithfulness isn’t about doing more but about stewarding better? As we begin a new year, many of us feel the pressure to add, strive, and prove ourselves spiritually and practically. But before January is halfway over, we’re already exhausted. In this episode, we’re talking about biblical stewardship and exploring what it actually means to be faithful without burning out. Rooted in the wisdom Moses received from Jethro in Exodus, this conversation explores how cultural expectations, coping mechanisms, and unexamined habits can quietly pull us away from God’s design. We’ll talk honestly about overfunctioning, wearing too many hats, and why overwhelm is sometimes a holy reminder that we are human and God is not asking us to be limitless. This is an invitation to release what God never asked you to carry, to pace yourself with discernment, and to steward your life in a way that produces fruit without sacrificing your soul.
