    More Than My Past — Episode 1: The Story I Was Ashamed to Tell- Audio Version

    Send us Fan Mail  More Than My Past — Episode 1: The Story I Was Ashamed to Tell There are some parts of our story that are easier to talk about than others. In the first episode of More Than My Past, I’m opening up about a part of my testimony that I carried quietly for a long time—not because God hadn’t healed me, but because sometimes shame can make us wonder what people will think if they really know where we’ve been. This episode is about what happens when you look back at a version of yourself you barely recognize anymore and realize just how far God has brought you. Maybe you have a chapter of your life you wish you could erase. Maybe there are things you’ve experienced, decisions you’ve made, or seasons you survived that still make you question how God could possibly use your story. I want this episode—and this entire series—to remind you that something can be part of your past without becoming your identity. Your story is not over. Your worst chapter does not get to write your ending. And no matter where you have been, God is still a Redeemer. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” — 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIVIf this episode speaks to you, subscribe and come back for the rest of the More Than My Past series as we go deeper into healing, shame, identity, survival, redemption, and what it really means to move forward with God. You are more than your past. #MoreThanMyPast #ChristianTestimony #MyTestimony #GodRedeems #HealingThroughJesus #ChristianHealing #FaithAfterTrauma #OvercomingShame #IdentityInChrist #GodsGrace #ChristianEncouragement #JesusChangesLives #RedemptionStory #HealingJourney #ChristianYouTube #WhereIsYourVoice More Than My Past, The Story I Was Ashamed to Tell, Christian testimony, powerful Christian testimony, testimony of redemption, God changed my life, God redeemed my past, overcoming shame, healing from your past, Christian healing, identity in Christ, your past does not define you, Christian encouragement, faith after trauma, trauma and Christianity, healing through Jesus, God’s grace, Christian survivor testimony, redemption through Jesus, overcoming your past, testimony of God’s protection, God is a redeemer, Christian podcast, Christian women testimony, Christian testimony series, healing journey with God, finding your identity in Christ, letting go of shame, overcoming guilt, God can use your story, 2 Corinthians 5:17, new creation in Christ, Where Is Your Voice podcast  Support the show

    The Voice of the Counterfeit Friend-Walking in Discernment EP 7: Audio Version

    Send us Fan Mail  The Voice of the Counterfeit Friend | Walking in Discernment Not every counterfeit friend looks like an enemy. Some of the most confusing friendships are the ones that begin with encouragement, support, laughter, and closeness—but over time, something starts to feel different. You may notice that you are second-guessing yourself more. You may feel like your boundaries are disappearing. You may feel less like yourself when you are around them. You may even start wondering why a friendship that once felt so safe now feels draining, controlling, critical, or confusing. In this episode of Walking in Discernment, we are talking about how to recognize when a friendship may be influencing you in a direction God is not leading you. This is not about becoming suspicious of everyone around you. It is not about expecting your friends to be perfect. And it is not about labeling every difficult friendship as toxic. This episode is about discernment. It is also about self-reflection, because sometimes we may recognize that we have shown some of these same behaviors in our own friendships. Most importantly, we are going to look at the fruit. Does the friendship produce love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control? Or is it consistently producing confusion, insecurity, bitterness, resentment, dependence, division, or temptation? Sometimes the clearest way to understand a friendship is not by asking how long you have known someone or how close you feel to them. It is by asking: Who am I becoming while I am connected to this person? And what happens when you finally start using your voice? In this episode, we talk about discernment, boundaries, influence, friendship, spiritual growth, and what it looks like to stop surrendering your God-given voice just to keep a relationship. Watch what happens when you start using the voice God gave you.

    How to Heal After Being Cheated On | 7 Steps to Find Peace After Betrayal

    Send us Fan Mail  How to Heal After Being Cheated On | 7 Steps to Find Peace After Betrayal Being cheated on can leave you questioning your worth, replaying every detail, comparing yourself to the other person, and wondering what you could have done differently. In this episode, I’m sharing the steps God used to help me heal after betrayal, stop blaming myself, let go of shame and unforgiveness, and finally find peace again. I know what it feels like to become consumed by the betrayal—to stalk social media, obsess over what happened, compare yourself, blame yourself, and even lose pieces of who you were in the process. But healing is possible. And one of the biggest things I learned is that someone else’s decision to betray you does not define your value. In this episode, we talk about:  Telling yourself the truth about their cheating  Recognizing who you became in an unhealthy relationship  Allowing yourself to grieve  Letting go of shame  Forgiving without excusing what happened  Putting purpose behind your pain  Understanding your identity in Christ  What NOT to do while healing from infidelity  How to stop carrying somebody else’s betrayal into your future If you are currently dealing with heartbreak, betrayal, infidelity, rejection, or the aftermath of a toxic relationship, I pray this episode reminds you that what happened to you does not have to become who you are. You can heal. You can have peace again. You can trust yourself again. And most importantly, you can rediscover who you are in Christ. Scriptures mentioned: Galatians 6:5 Proverbs 14:12 Psalm 107:9 Jeremiah 2:13 Psalm 139:14 Matthew 7:16 Psalm 147:3 Isaiah 55:6 Romans 8:1 Ephesians 4:31-32 Psalm 84:11 Romans 8:28 1 Peter 2:9 Romans 12:19 Timestamps 00:00 Put a Finger Down: Have You Been Cheated On? 01:40 My Story: When Betrayal Took Over My Life 04:20 Step 1: Tell Yourself the Truth 07:30 Step 2: Be Honest About Who You Became 09:40 Step 3: Let Yourself Grieve 11:40 Step 4: Let Go of the Shame 13:40 Step 5: Forgive 16:40 Step 6: Put Purpose Behind Your Pain 18:50 Step 7: Know Your Identity in Christ 21:00 What NOT to Do After Being Cheated On 23:30 Encouragement for the Brokenhearted 25:30 Closing Prayer #Cheating #Betrayal #Heartbreak #Healing #Infidelity #Forgiveness #ChristianHealing #ChristianPodcast #Relationships #SelfWorth #IdentityInChrist #ToxicRelationships #BreakupHealing #Faith #Jesus how to heal after being cheated on, healing after cheating, how to get over infidelity, Christian healing after betrayal, cheated on by partner, healing from betrayal, how to forgive someone who cheated, how to stop thinking about being cheated on, how to stop comparing yourself after cheating, Christian relationship advice, healing from heartbreak, overcoming betrayal, recovering from infidelity, how to trust again after cheating, letting go after betrayal, how to forgive after infidelity, betrayal trauma healing, Christian breakup advice, toxic relationship healing, identity in Christ, overcoming rejection, healing from relationship trauma, God healing a broken heart, how to move on after cheating, signs you are healing after betrayal, faith after heartbreak, Christian podcast relationships, steps to heal after cheating, emotional healing after infidelity, finding peace after betrayal  Support the show

    When the Storm Hits | How to Stand on God’s Word in Hard Seasons

    Send us Fan Mail There are seasons in life that hit harder than we ever expected. Sometimes the storm becomes so overwhelming that we begin questioning ourselves, our faith, and even wondering whether God is angry with us. In this episode, I’m speaking from inside my own storm and sharing what the Holy Spirit has been teaching me about staying rooted when life feels uncertain. Jesus told us about two houses in Matthew 7. One was built on the rock and one on the sand—but both houses experienced the storm. Following God does not mean the rain will never come. The difference is what you are standing on when it does. I share the practical and spiritual things that have helped restore my peace: going to church even when I wanted to isolate, getting completely honest with God, speaking Scripture back to fear and lies, surrendering the outcome to God’s will, worshiping through tears, remembering Jesus through communion, and refusing to stay down after the storm knocks me over. If you are going through something difficult right now, I pray this episode reminds you that crying does not mean you have lost your faith. Feeling afraid does not mean God has abandoned you. You can be hurting and still be standing on the Rock. The storm may be new, but God’s faithfulness is not. 00:00 When the storm hits 02:30 The two houses: rock vs. sand 04:45 What if you’re actually doing everything right? 06:10 Go to church when you want to isolate 09:30 How God comforted me through His people 12:00 Get completely honest with God 14:45 Speak back to the lies with God’s Word 18:00 Surrender the outcome to God’s will 21:00 Worship in the middle of the storm 23:30 The power of communion and remembrance 26:00 Don’t stay down—get back up again 28:15 Prayer and final encouragement #Faith #Jesus #God #Christian #Prayer #Storm #Hope #Worship #Bible #Encouragement #Healing #Trust #Peace #Faithfulness #Christianity#whereisyourvoice#testimony#healing#loss#freedom when the storm hits, Christian encouragement, going through a storm, trusting God in hard times, how to trust God, faith during difficult times, Christian podcast, standing on the rock, Matthew 7 24 27, God’s faithfulness, finding peace in God, worship during hard times, prayer during difficult seasons, surrendering to God’s will, communion remembrance, Christian motivation, overcoming fear with Scripture, speaking truth over lies, trusting God’s plan, Holy Spirit comfort, how to keep faith during trials, God is with you, Christian testimony, Where Is Your Voice podcast Support the show

    The Voice of Trauma | When Your Wounds Start Speaking-Walking in Discernment Ep. 6/Audio Version

    Send us Fan Mail  Walking in Discernment Ep. 6: The Voice of Trauma | When Your Wounds Start Speaking Trauma can end in the past and still keep speaking in the present. In Episode 6 of the Walking in Discernment series, we’re talking about The Voice of Trauma—how unhealed wounds can affect your identity, your relationships, your confidence, your habits, and even the way you respond to people who never hurt you. Trauma can whisper: “You’re not worthy.”  “You’re not capable.”  “You have to be perfect.”  “Just isolate.”  “Protect yourself before they hurt you.”  “Don’t trust anybody.” But just because a thought comes from a painful experience does not mean it deserves authority over your future. In this episode, I also share part of my own testimony of what happened after one of the most traumatic relationships of my life. I isolated myself and began reaching for alcohol, binge eating, video games, and other things that felt comforting at the time. I convinced myself, “At least this is better than what I went through.” But relief is not always healing. We’ll also look at Jephthah and how rejection can influence the way we respond from our wounds, Joseph and how he refused to allow betrayal to turn him bitter, and Jesus—the greatest example of forgiveness. Forgiveness does not mean what happened to you was okay. It does not mean you have to trust that person again or remove healthy boundaries. Forgiveness means you stop allowing what they did to keep controlling what happens next. Your trauma may explain some of your wounds, but it does not get to name you. You survived it. Now let God teach you how to live free from it. This episode is spiritual encouragement and is not a replacement for professional mental-health care. Prayer is powerful, and God heals, but if trauma is severely affecting your ability to function, feel safe, sleep, maintain relationships, or live your everyday life, please do not be ashamed to seek appropriate support.

    The Voice of Anxiety: How to Recognize It & Take Your Thoughts Captive Walking in Discernment Series Ep. 5

    Send us Fan Mail In Episode 5 of the Walking in Discernment series, we’re exposing The Voice of Anxiety. Anxiety can sound like “What if?”, “You need to control this,” “Figure it out now,” “Just escape,” or even “Try harder—you’re still not enough.” And if we don’t recognize where those thoughts are coming from, they can begin affecting our relationships, decisions, peace, confidence, and even our walk with God. In this episode, I also share my personal experience with anxiety, how it once felt like torment, and what helped me learn to recognize that voice and take those thoughts captive. We’ll talk about anxiety and control, relationships, escapism, maladaptive daydreaming, perfectionism, waiting on God, forgiveness, surrender, and the pressure to feel “Christian enough.” IMPORTANT: This episode discusses anxiety from a spiritual and emotional perspective. If you struggle with an anxiety disorder, panic attacks, trauma, depression, intrusive thoughts, or another mental-health condition, seeking professional support does not mean you lack faith. God can work through prayer, Scripture, counseling, doctors, therapy, and appropriate treatment. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Intro: The Voice of Anxiety 02:00 – My Experience With Anxiety & Torment 05:00 – Voice #1: “What If?” 09:00 – How to Take Anxious Thoughts Captive 12:00 – Anxiety & the Need for Control 16:00 – Anxiety in Relationships 21:00 – Forgiveness, Bitterness & Surrender 26:00 – Anxiety & Escapism 31:00 – “You Need to Figure This Out Now” 35:00 – Waiting Is Spiritual Warfare 40:00 – “Try Harder: You’re Still Not Enough” 45:00 – When Anxiety Says You’re Not Christian Enough 50:00 – Growing Without Proving Your Worth 54:00 – Encouragement & Closing Key Scriptures: Philippians 4:6–8, Matthew 6:34, 2 Corinthians 10:5, Psalm 27:14, Romans 8:15, Ephesians 2:8–9, John 10:27.

    8 Powerful Benefits of Dwelling on the Crucifixion - Audio Version

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when you stop casually thinking about the cross and actually dwell on what Jesus did for you? For years, I knew Jesus died for me—but when I began intentionally spending time thinking about His crucifixion, something changed in my walk with God. In this episode, I share 8 powerful benefits of dwelling on the crucifixion and how the cross transformed the way I see salvation, God's love, sin, spiritual warfare, forgiveness, suffering, gratitude, and my identity in Christ. The cross helped me walk away from addiction, rejection, lust, people-pleasing, fear, and the need for validation because I finally understood who I belong to and the price Jesus paid for me. Don't just remember the cross. Dwell on it. “The message of the cross…to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” — 1 Corinthians 1:18 Hashtags #Jesus #TheCross #Crucifixion #JesusChrist #ChristianPodcast #ChristianYouTube #Faith #Salvation #IdentityInChrist #SpiritualWarfare #Forgiveness #ChristianLiving #WhereIsYourVoice Keywords Jesus Christ, crucifixion of Jesus, benefits of dwelling on the crucifixion, power of the cross, Jesus died for me, Christian podcast, Christian encouragement, salvation through Jesus, blood of Jesus, spiritual warfare, full armor of God, identity in Christ, forgiveness, overcoming rejection, overcoming lust, people pleasing, Christian testimony, carrying your cross, dying to self, gratitude to God, faith in Jesus, Calvary, cross of Christ, Where Is Your Voice Support the show
