She reflects on the unique challenges and blessings of growing up in church culture, navigating expectations, and learning how to make her faith her own. Together, we talk about what it truly means to let God be the Father of His House, releasing control, pressure, and performance, and trusting Him to lead, guide, and nurture His people. Annika reminds us that God is not just present in the church—but actively parenting, protecting, and shepherding His children.

    85: Building Your Faith

    Send us a text In this powerful episode of the Fearless Queens Podcast, we dive into what it truly means to build unshakable faith—faith that stands firm in trials, grows in the waiting, and trusts God beyond what feels possible. Faith is not just something we talk about; it’s something we live out daily. Together, we explore how faith is strengthened through obedience, perseverance, and wholehearted trust in God—even when the road is hard or unclear. 📖 Scriptures We Discussed: Hebrews 11 – Faith as confident assurance in what we hope for and certainty in what we cannot seeJames 1:2 – Choosing joy in trials because God is producing endurance in usLuke 1:37 – Forgetting “impossible” because nothing is impossible with GodJames 2:17 – Faith that is alive is faith that moves us to action1 Peter 4:12, 19 – Standing firm through suffering and entrusting our lives to a faithful Creator💡 Episode Themes: What faith really looks like in everyday lifeHow trials refine and strengthen our faithMoving beyond fear, doubt, and the word “impossible”Living out faith through obedience and actionForsake all and trust Him—fully and completely✨ Key Takeaway: Faith grows when we stop relying on our own understanding and start fully trusting God. When we release control and place our confidence in Him, we discover that He is always faithful—even in the fire. 🙏 Call to Action: What step of faith is God asking you to take today? Choose to trust Him, walk it out in obedience, and remember—your faith is being built for something greater. 🎧 Listen now and be encouraged to rise as a Fearless Queen, walking boldly by faith and not by sight.
