    Ep 53 - God’s Grace Is Real—But So Are the Consequences

    Send us Fan Mail In today’s episode of Messy But Motivated, we’re having an uncomfortable conversation about what we’re putting our faith in. I’m talking about crystals, “the universe,” and why we can’t expect to hear clearly from God while continuing to look elsewhere for our guidance, protection, peace, and answers. If we say we follow Jesus, He has to be more than an option we turn to when everything else fails. I’m also addressing something I’ve heard from people who feel like I talk more about the consequences of our choices than I do about God’s grace. And here’s the truth: God’s grace is incredible—but grace doesn’t mean our actions have no consequences. There are plenty of people in ministry who will make everything sound comfortable, soften the hard truths, and tell you exactly what you want to hear. I’m not here to butter it up for you. I’m here to point you back to Scripture—even when the truth steps on our toes. This episode is about conviction, obedience, repentance, grace, and remembering who we are actually putting our trust in. If this message challenges you, maybe that’s exactly what it was supposed to do. ❤️‍🔥 Messy But Motivated — because following Jesus isn’t always comfortable, but it is always worth it.

    Ep 52 - Bonus Episode: When the Enemy Can’t Reach You, He’ll Come for Someone You Love

    Send us Fan Mail This bonus episode is one of the most personal I’ve ever recorded. Lately, spiritual warfare hasn’t just been something I’ve been teaching about—it’s something my family has been living through. I share how, when I stood firm in my faith, it felt like the enemy shifted his attack toward my husband, Mike. If you’ve ever watched someone you love struggle while feeling helpless, this episode is for you. I also talk about Perez Hilton and why I believe we often misidentify spiritual battles as something else. When we take our eyes off Jesus, we become vulnerable to the enemy’s lies. But the good news is that Jesus has already won the victory. We’ll dive into what Scripture says about spiritual warfare, why the armor of God is our protection, and why we must remember who fights beside us. The armor God gives us is not fragile—it is strong, steadfast, and sufficient for every battle we face. If you’ve been feeling attacked, discouraged, or exhausted, I pray this episode reminds you that you are not fighting alone. Stand firm. Keep your eyes on Jesus. The battle is real, but so is the victory we have in Christ.

    Ep 51 - Don’t Quit, Just Keep Going

    Send us Fan Mail In today’s episode of Messy But Motivated, I’m opening up about some of my own failures—the moments I wanted to quit, the setbacks that hurt, and how God taught me to turn those failures into fuel instead of excuses. We’ll also look at the greatest example of perseverance: Jesus. He endured rejection, betrayal, suffering, and the cross because He knew what was on the other side. If He didn’t quit on us, we shouldn’t quit on the purpose He’s placed on our lives. If you’ve been discouraged, feeling behind, or wondering if it’s worth continuing, this episode is for you. Your story isn’t over. God isn’t finished with you yet.

    Ep 50 - Your Testimony Has Power

    Send us Fan Mail In this week’s episode of Messy But Motivated, I’m opening up about some of the spiritual warfare I’ve been walking through lately and why I believe the enemy works so hard to keep us silent. We talk about the incredible importance of sharing your testimony—not because we have it all together, but because God uses our messy stories to point people to Him. Someone out there needs to hear what the Lord has brought you through. I also share why having a strong church community isn’t optional. We were never meant to fight spiritual battles alone, and surrounding yourself with other believers can make all the difference when life gets heavy. This episode also touches on a deeply personal subject: my relationship with my dad. It’s not an easy conversation, but it’s one the Lord has continually placed on my heart to share. We’ll discuss how our earthly fathers can shape the way we view our Heavenly Father—and why God’s love remains perfect, even when our earthly experiences aren’t.

    Ep 49 - When Grief Hits All At Once

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Messy But Motivated, my sister-in-law Kimberly joins me for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had. She opens up about walking through unimaginable loss—the deaths of her mother and brother, while also navigating our father’s mental illness. Instead of allowing grief to define her, Kimberly shares how leaning into her faith in Jesus gave her the strength to keep moving forward. We talk about heartbreak, unanswered questions, finding hope in the darkest seasons, and what it looks like to trust God when life doesn’t make sense. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your faith through suffering, this episode is for you. During this episode, I also share how you can help grow the Messy But Motivated podcast.

    Ep 48 - You’re Not Being Ignored—You’re Being Guided

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever prayed, “God, I just wish You would tell me what to do,” only to feel like you’re hearing nothing? In this episode of Messy But Motivated, I’m talking about a truth that changed my perspective: God is often speaking long before we realize He’s been guiding us. We’ll dive into how God uses unexpected signs, other people, Scripture, closed doors, and even seasons of discomfort to lead us exactly where He wants us. Sometimes the very hardships we’re asking Him to remove are the things He’s using to draw us closer to Him. If you’ve been wondering whether God hears your prayers, questioning His direction for your life, or feeling stuck waiting for an answer, this episode is for you. You may not be lost—you may simply be learning to recognize the Shepherd’s voice. Let’s talk about how God guides His children, even when we don’t realize He’s been leading us all along.

    Ep 47 - Laziness: You Have To Put The Work In

    Send us Fan Mail In this week’s episode of Messy But Motivated, we’re having an honest conversation about  laziness, the slow drift that happens when we stop prioritizing the things we need to do that’ll get us closer to our goals. Sometimes it doesn’t happen all at once. We get busy, distracted, or comfortable, and before we know it, we’re going days without working towards what we had been praying for.  I share my own thoughts on what spiritual laziness looks like. Let’s get honest, get encouraged, and get motivated to pursue what we’ve been praying for with our whole hearts.  Book referred to in my podcast:  Life Principles- Daily Bible   want to get ahold of me?  Email me,  Melinda@mrsmotivated.com Thanks for being a listener, stay blessed friends.  Don’t forget to follow me on social media: TikTok @mrsmotivated2025 Facebook @mrsmotivated2025 Instagram @mrsmotivated2025

    Ep 46 - God Sent Them, But Not To Be Your Best Friend

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Messy But Motivated, we’re talking about something we don’t discuss enough: not every person God brings into your life is meant to become your best friend. Some people are assignments, some are lessons, and some are simply passing through. I also share why it’s important to pay attention to how certain relationships make you feel. If being around someone constantly leaves you comparing yourself, feeling envious, or questioning your own journey, it may be a sign that you need to create some distance. Protecting your peace isn’t selfish—it’s wisdom. This episode is all about discernment, healthy boundaries, and trusting that the right relationships will draw you closer to God and the person He’s calling you to become.
