    Episode 4. She Laid It At The Cross: Fear

    Fear can stop us in our tracks.  It can steal our peace, keep us stuck, and convince us that we’re not capable, strong, or worthy of more.  In this episode, we’re talking about how fear holds us back — and how faith invites us forward.  Through the story of Esther, we’ll explore what it means to step out even when we’re scared, and how to release the fears we were never meant to carry. Whether you're facing anxiety, self-doubt, or the fear of failure — this episode is for you.  Take a deep breath, picture your cross (mine’s pink!), and let’s lay fear down together. 🎧 Be sure to subscribe, share with a friend, and follow along as we keep releasing what no longer serves us — one burden at a time. 💖 My Favorite Things & Resources These are the tools, books, and little comforts that keep me grounded, inspired, and feeling supported — especially on hard days.  Some of the links below are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you choose to make a purchase (at no extra cost to you).  Thank you for supporting this podcast and my mission to help women heal, grow, and walk in freedom. 💗  💌 Join My Email List for Encouragement + Updates →Click Here To Join!!

    Episode 3. She Laid It At The Cross: Bitterness

    Bitterness is a heavy burden—one we carry long after the hurt has happened.  In this episode, we’re naming the pain, acknowledging the cost of holding on, and inviting God into the healing process.  Through the story of Naomi in the book of Ruth, we’ll explore how bitterness can block something beautiful from being reborn.  You'll be reminded that letting go doesn’t mean it was okay—it means you're ready to be free. Grab your quiet space, picture your cross (mine is pink!), and let’s pin this burden down together. 🌸 Subscribe, share with a friend, and follow along each week as we release what we were never meant to carry.   💖 My Favorite Things & Resources These are the tools, books, and little comforts that keep me grounded, inspired, and feeling supported — especially on hard days.  Some of the links below are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you choose to make a purchase (at no extra cost to you).  Thank you for supporting this podcast and my mission to help women heal, grow, and walk in freedom. 💗  💌 Join My Email List for Encouragement + Updates →Click Here To Join!!

    Episode 1. She Laid It At The Cross Mini-Series: Burden of Not Being Enough

    In this powerful kickoff to the She Laid It At The Cross mini-series, I share a personal moment that changed everything — a Christmas Eve Service where I physically pinned my burden to the cross.  Since then, I have my own pink cross, a place I return to whenever I need to surrender again. In this episode, we’re naming one of the most common and quietest struggles: the belief that we’re not enough.  Whether you're a mom, a teen, or a woman trying to keep it together — this message is for you.   You don’t have to carry this weight anymore.  Together, we’re laying it down… and walking lighter.  Your burden today: “I am not enough.” 🪧 Let’s pin it to the cross.   💖 My Favorite Things & Resources These are the tools, books, and little comforts that keep me grounded, inspired, and feeling supported — especially on hard days.  Some of the links below are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you choose to make a purchase (at no extra cost to you).  Thank you for supporting this podcast and my mission to help women heal, grow, and walk in freedom. 💗    💌 Join My Email List for Encouragement + Updates →Click Here To Join!!   My Skincare Must-Have (20 Years & Still Love it)- This is my favorite skincare, and they offer many other products I love! → Aloette Skincare   🛍️ Faith-Focused Journals & Devotionals: → The 5 - Minute Gratitude Journal     100 Days To Brave     100 Day To Brave for Kids   🎵 Some of My Fav Items: →  Candle      Coffee cup      Blanket      Javvy Coffee     📸 Let’s Connect on Instagram! → @christiegstutz     Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/dan-phillipson/making-progress License code: 258FAXFGPDAQWQRF
