Have you struggled with feelings of anxiety, panic, fear, and despair because life is just too hard? Are you tired of feeling like you’re desperately trying to claw your way out of a pit of hopelessness? Do you want a relationship with God that is deep, real, and intimate – something to give you the hope to keep trusting God? To know that you are not forgotten.Take a deep breath, I got you!This is a show for the Christian Woman who is struggling to trust God because life is so hard. The woman who feels like there’s no hope, no way out, and no point in even praying about it anymore. You’re weary from the struggle and trying to do all the right things. You just want something to go right in your life – or a least not get any worse. I want you to know that as long as God is on the throne – it’s not time to throw in the towel! There is hope and rest for your weary heart, I want to help you find it.Hey there, I’m LaToya Edwards. I'm a Christian Spiritual growth, mindset, and life coach. An extremely highly sensitive introvert and empath. And a proud single mom to 4 boys! That third one has made growing closer to God a little interesting. After walking through decades of hard times, including spiritual and emotional abuse, death, and betrayal I tried to do all the “right things” and fix my problems on my own. I thought if I could just do everything God wanted me to do things would get better. But when that didn’t work, I was sure that God had forgotten all about me. And if I heard one more Christian platitude like “God doesn’t give us more than we can handle” I was sure I’d lose my testimony!The truth is that God has not forgotten about me! I was just weary after all the hard stuff. I needed some rest and hope for better days to come. I needed to trust in God and heal from my past. But I didn’t know how. The more I tried to do it on my own, the more frustrated, angry, and hopeless I felt. I was tired of waiting on God. I was overwhelmed, burned out, and spiritually exhausted.Turns out that’s exactly where I needed to be to hear from God. During a season of forced rest, God did a healing work in my heart and my mindset. In my quiet time with God, I learned more about my identity in Christ and how I was created to connect with Him. Then I was able to start a journey that lead from a soul full of despair to being able to say it is well with my soul. I even learned how to enjoy life and dream despite the difficult circumstances in my life.Guess what, you can too! You can find the strength you need to keep going, even when things continue to get worse. The peace you need in your mind to stop being overwhelmed with negative thoughts and emotions. How to rest and embrace true peace when you learn to trust God’s plan and timing. If that sounds like something you need, you are in the right place. I can’t wait to help you find renewed faith, a peace-filled mind, and restored hope.Because let’s face it – sometimes life just sucks! But God is always there with you in the messy middle. Rest in that truth and find hope for your weary soul.👋🏾Let’s Connect⭐Private FB Community: https://latoyaedwards.net/community 🎁Free Resources:📍Consistent Quiet Time Planner: https://latoyaedwards.net/planner 📍Hope for the Weary Christian Woman Roadmap: https://latoyaedwards.net/roadmap🤝🏾Let’s Work Together: ☕Course + Coaching: https://latoyaedwards.net/coaching

077| Come Study the Bible with Me: The Parable of the Lost Sheep
You don't need hours to really dig into scripture each day. After hearing from so many ladies who felt like they just couldn't get much out of their bible study time in 10 or 15 minutes I decided to show you what's possible.
The key to unlocking the treasures of scripture lies in three steps - reading, praying, and considering. Allow me to guide you through these steps, using the parable of the lost sheep as a practical, relatable example. As we explore, we'll unearth the profound love and compassion that God has for each of us, especially those who feel lost.
This episode is not just about providing a new method for studying scripture, it's an invitation to discover and embrace the transformative power of God's word in your life.

075| Lectio Divina: The Woman with the Issue of Blood
Ever felt weary, overwhelmed, or simply burnt out? Does it seem like life's challenges are relentless and you're desperately seeking solace and encouragement? I've been there too. That's why I'm inviting you on a spiritual journey to explore one of my favorite scripture passages - the story of the woman with an issue of blood in Mark 5:25-34. This woman’s faith can light our path even in the darkest times.
Through the practice of Lectio Divina, we'll observe her courage, fear, and resolute faith. Imagine the strength it took for her to approach Jesus and the reactions of those around her. We'll delve deep into her story, reflect on her healing experience, and draw valuable lessons for our own lives. And remember, faith like hers is not out of our reach.

072| Why You May Be Doing All The "Right Things" But Aren't Growing Any Closer to God
Ever wondered why you react differently to life’s trials compared to others? Why the things that other Christians do to grow stronger faith just don't work for you?
This can often leave you feeling like there's something wrong with you. But what if that isn't true? We are each created in the image of God with unique traits. Once you understand that you can challenge the notion that these traits are faults and embrace them.
I'm going to shed light on the differences between extroverted and introverted faith journeys and how they can help us understand God's unique design for each of us. This episode encourages you to lean into the way you were created so you can have a more personal and fulfilling relationship with God.

A balm for the soul!!
Wow, I LOVE how encouraging LaToya is in this podcast. It’s seriously like listening to an older sister just pouring life, truth, wisdom, and support into you - all based on God’s Word and her own real-life experiences. She does it all with grace and compassion, as well as an authenticity that just makes what she’s talking about super relatable instead of just hypothetical ideas. Absolutely love this podcast and how refreshing it is to the soul!!
