    When God Funds The Calling

    Send us Fan Mail The call finally comes, but it arrives at the worst possible time. I’ve dreamed about going on a mission trip for years, imagining the people I’d meet and the chance to share God’s love, yet when the door actually opened I wasn’t jumping up and down. I was calculating, worrying, and quietly hoping the deadline would pass. If you’ve ever wanted to obey God but felt blocked by finances, responsibilities, or fear of hearing “no,” you’ll recognize yourself here. I talk through the real tension between faith and pressure: competing priorities, urgent needs, and the nagging thought that saying yes to God will cost more than you can spare. Then I share the moment everything shifted, when I heard a simple word in my spirit: “If you take care of my business, I will take care of yours.” That reminder lines up with Romans 8:28 and Matthew 6:33, and it reframes trust as action, not wishful thinking. You’ll also hear how God provided in a way that made it unmistakably His hand at work, including unexpected giving and matched support that moved the total from overwhelming to nearly complete. My prayer is that you take this as a restart, a do-over, and a push to take the first step toward the desire God placed in your heart. If this encourages you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs courage, and leave a review so more women of faith can find it. What is the thing you’re excited about but afraid to fully trust God with?

    God Already Knew The Obstacles You Fear

    Send us Fan Mail God can show us the promised land and we still hesitate on the edge. That tension is the heartbeat of this message: we want the promise, but we keep replaying the obstacles. We’re sitting in Numbers 13, where the spies see a land overflowing with fruit and still come back overwhelmed by giants. It’s a painfully familiar picture of what happens when fear becomes the loudest voice in our head. We talk about what a “bad report” looks like today: focusing on everything that could go wrong, assuming God didn’t account for the bumps and bruises, and shrinking our calling down to the size of our insecurity. The line that stings the most is the one that exposes identity: “we saw ourselves as grasshoppers.” When self-doubt takes over, we start imagining other people’s opinions, comparing ourselves to someone who looks more qualified, and quietly retreating to what feels safe. That’s how we miss purpose, delay spiritual growth, and settle for less than God’s best. Then we pivot to what builds courage. Sometimes the crowd is loud, but faith still speaks. We’re reminded that God is a promise keeper, that He equips what He calls, and that we’re not walking alone. If you’re looking for Christian encouragement, faith for hard seasons, overcoming fear, and a mindset shift rooted in Scripture, this is your sign to stop staring at the giants and start moving toward your Canaan.

    When Life Is Hard

    Send us Fan Mail When life is lifeing and it feels like everything is coming at you at once, it is easy to wonder where God is and whether you are about to go under. I talk candidly about those moments when faith feels harder than usual, when bills are due, hearts are aching, prayers feel delayed, and the world around us adds even more weight. If you have ever felt overwhelmed, alone, or quietly angry while still trying to believe, you will feel seen here.  I walk through what helps me when my back is against the wall: anchoring myself in Almighty God, remembering what He has already done, and fighting the “amnesia” that makes us forget God’s past provision. We turn to concrete, comforting Bible promises like Psalm 46:1, Matthew 11:28, and Joshua 1:9, and I share how asking God for “a word” or even “a song” can steady your spirit. A simple hymn, “’Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus,” becomes a lifeline and a daily prayer for grace to trust Him more.  You will come away with Christian encouragement you can use right away, plus practical faith habits for anxiety, grief, financial stress, and uncertainty: honest prayer, Scripture anchoring, worship that shifts the atmosphere, and a reminder that God is constant even when circumstances are not. If this conversation strengthens you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs hope today, and leave a review. What is the one verse or worship song you run to when life gets hard?

    The Messy Middle

    Send us Fan Mail The hardest part of your story usually isn’t the beginning or the ending. It’s the middle, when the bills stack up, the doubts get loud, and you’re still trying to show up with faith even when nothing looks “glam” from the outside. I’m Colette Marie, and I’m talking straight about what I call the messy middle: the unfinished chapters we’re tempted to hide while we post only the mountaintop moments. We look at social media and assume everyone else is thriving, but so many of us are quietly asking, “God, where are You in this?” I share why authenticity matters, how discernment keeps honesty from becoming oversharing, and why the broken places in your story can be a blessing to someone who feels alone. You’ll also hear me open up about my own wrestle with calling, confidence, and building, including the pressure of trying to get clients and the fear that I’m not doing what God wants me to do. We talk practical encouragement too: praying, staying in the Word, finding community, using resources, and being willing to tell the truth when someone close asks how you’re really doing. I lean on Proverbs 3:5–6 and Romans 8:28 as reminders that God can direct your path and use even this season for good and for purpose. If you’re in a hard season of faith, entrepreneurship, relationships, or family life, let this be your reminder that you haven’t been forgotten.

    God Sees You

    Send us Fan Mail When life gets loud and God feels quiet, the first lie we tend to believe is that we’re alone. I’m speaking to the tired heart that’s asking, “Where are You, God?” and the person who feels unseen in relationships, overlooked at work, or emotionally spent from a valley season that won’t end. If you’ve ever wondered whether God still cares about the details of your life, this conversation is a gentle but firm reminder that His silence is not His absence. We walk through three anchor Scriptures that bring real Christian encouragement without pretending pain isn’t real. We start with Hagar’s wilderness moment in Genesis 16:13 where she names God “El Roi,” the God who sees. Then we move to Jeremiah 31:3 and God’s promise of an everlasting love that does not change when we struggle, doubt, or feel far away. Finally, we sit with Ephesians 3:17-19, asking God to root us in love and help us grasp the width, length, depth, and height of Christ’s love that surpasses knowledge. If you’ve been searching for Bible verses for anxiety, loneliness, or feeling abandoned by God, these passages meet you right where you are. I also pray for you at the end, asking God to minister to you in stillness and make His Word come alive in your heart. If this encouraged you, subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next, share it with a friend who needs comfort, and leave a review to help more people find this message.  Be encouraged my friend, God is aware of and is acquainted with your grief and He will not leave nor forsake you.

    Why The Cross Still Matters When Life Hurts

    Send us Fan Mail Good Friday hits differently when you’re already carrying something heavy. I’m Collette Marie, and today I’m sitting with the raw meaning of the cross: an innocent Jesus taking the punishment we deserved, choosing sacrifice so we can have access to God, forgiveness, and life everlasting. If you’ve ever wondered whether God really sees your pain, this conversation offers a steady, faith-filled answer. We talk about the moments when hardship, trials, finances, sickness, or heartbreak make you feel abandoned. I keep coming back to this truth: God understands because He came close. Jesus knows weakness, grief, and pressure, and Scripture says He is touched by what we feel. When you can’t go any further in your own strength, you can still pray honestly, ask for grace, and take the next step without pretending you’re fine. We also connect Good Friday to purpose and calling. Your position in life right now, even the painful parts, doesn’t cancel the plan God has for you. I reflect on Exodus and the tabernacle, where God gives people wisdom, knowledge, and understanding for the work He assigns. Your gifts aren’t random, and they aren’t meant to stay dormant. God can use what He placed in you to encourage someone else, to redeem a story, and to show love in practical ways. If this Christian podcast episode encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a sister who needs hope, and leave a review so more listeners can find it. What are you carrying today, and what gift do you want to put back in motion? The Cross gives us hope and I prays that today you will be reminded of ALL Christ did so you didn’t have to face the penalty of your sin. Be reminded that the Cross reminds us of the gifts we have and how we should use them for the glory of God.

    God Honors The Commitments We Keep

    Send us Fan Mail The hardest part of a promise to God often comes after He answers the prayer. When the thing you begged for is finally in your hands, “giving it back” can feel impossible and that’s exactly where Hannah’s story hits home. We sit with the weight of her vow, the courage it took to release Samuel, and the quiet proof of her follow through as she returns year after year with a robe for her son. We open the Bible to 1 Samuel 2:18–21 and slow down on a line that changes everything: “The Lord visited Hannah.” After Hannah honors her commitment, God blesses her with more sons and daughters, showing that what we surrender in faith is not wasted. But we also talk honestly about expectations. Sometimes we assume obedience will be repaid in the same form like money for money. Yet God often answers with something bigger: favor, open doors, peace, and help we could not create for ourselves. That’s why the reminder lands so strongly: God is no man’s debtor, and God multiplies what we place in His hands. We also bring the lesson into everyday life with a personal story about spiritual discipline and prayer. You may not have a perfect prayer closet, but you can still build a faithful practice right where you are, even kneeling at your bedside and returning again when you fall short. If you’re carrying a promise, a vow, or a commitment to God that feels heavy right now, let this be your encouragement to tell Him the truth and ask for strength to obey. Subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next, share this with a friend who needs courage, and leave a review. What commitment are you trying to keep, and where do you need God’s help today?

    Promises To God: Do You Keep Yours?

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever told God, “If you do this for me, I’ll do that for you,” then realized the promise feels impossible once the blessing arrives? That tension sits at the heart of this conversation as we walk through 1 Samuel 1 and the story of Hannah, a woman who carries grief, endures ridicule, and still chooses to worship. Her prayer is so raw and quiet that Eli mistakes her for being drunk, but what’s really happening is a soul being poured out before the Lord.  We trace Hannah’s vow and the moment God remembers her, then we slow down at the part many of us skip: she follows through. After Samuel is born, she weans him and brings him back to the house of the Lord, keeping the commitment she made when she was desperate. Along the way, we talk about the promises we make in prayer, why unanswered prayer can dim worship, and how spiritual maturity looks like serving and showing up even when we feel disappointed or forgotten.  You’ll hear encouragement for your own “Hannah season” and practical language for surrender: praying according to God’s will, trusting God’s timing, and learning to accept whatever the answer is. Yes, no, or wait, we come back to one steady confession: it is well. If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s waiting on God, and leave a review with the biggest takeaway you’re holding onto today. My prayer is that you will be reminded that God isn’t withholding His best for you.  Support the show Colette’s Bio Colette Lawrence is an author, dynamic motivator, life coach, and personal development Trainer.
