Freedom in Christ is a gift that’s yours for the taking, yet in so many areas of life, it’s easy to feel STUCK. We hope this show reminds you how the gospel allows you to live free in every area of life.

    Free to Please God, Not People (Ep 32)

    Y’all! This has got to be one of my favorite Miraculous Freedom episodes of all time!! Join me today for a delightful conversation with Pam Litchford of The Pert Plan Podcast! Pam is a Christian counselor by day and podcaster in the margins of life. Engaging, relatable, hilarious, insightful…you’re gonna LOVE her! Today’s topic is one that hits close to home for me – how to recognize & overcome people pleasing. This is so important in our pursuit of freedom in Christ. Pam shares ways to discern whether or not this might be an issue for you and also explains the negative effects people pleasing can have on our bodies, relationships, and emotions. My prayer is that after you listen to this episode, you’ll feel less burdened by the expectations of others and more free to say YES to what God is calling you to…and nothing else!  Listen to Pam’s Podcast Here! Episodes 13, 14, and 15 are some of my favs! Follow her on Instagram @thepertplan  JOURNALS!

    Free to Live Rooted in Christ (Ep 29)

    Neurotheology, post-traumatic growth, self-betrayal…three terms I’d never heard before today’s episode with Talia Thomas! Talia is a wife, mom, podcaster, and behavior analyst who taught me SO much during our conversation! We covered a variety of topic: everything from the importance of secure attachments, specifically with our relationships with God, to setting loving boundaries and living authentically as a Christian woman.  If you’ve ever wondered… If Jesus ever set a boundary If it’s okay to say “no” to opportunities, even at church/non-profits, as Christian women How to identify a “safe” person What the root of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and performance is What it means to be rooted in Christ How to avoid drifting from the Lord Then this episode is for you!! Books mentioned in today’s episode: Becoming a Face of Grace by Ed Khouri  Boundaries by Cloud and Townsend  As always, thank you so much for listening! I’m so grateful that you’re joining me on this journey of pursuing Christ and finding freedom in Him.  OUR PRODUCTS Grab a tshirt here!! https://shop.miraculousfreedom.com/shop/spring-summer-tees/7GVGQ6VIHNTLID346GKH24V5  📝Are you ready to cultivate a healthier thought-life in 2026?

    Free to Love Your Morning (Ep 28)

    What comes to mind when you hear “morning routine”? You may be thinking “I don’t have one of those” or at least “I don’t have TIME for one of those.” I’m guessing you fall somewhere between sleeping as late as possible and eating a granola bar in the car AND waking up at 5am, working out, reading your Bible, and cooking a gourmet breakfast…and you might even be either of those people, depending on the day! But what if our morning routines could be simple, sustainable, and crafted in such a way to offer deep connection with God? In today’s conversation, I had the honor of discussing Jennifer Dukes Lee’s latest book How to Love Your Morning, and it was such a joy! Jennifer presents a compelling argument as to why EVERYONE is a morning person, offers support on finding your morning archetype (there’s also a quiz here!), and leads you to build a personalized morning routine that will help you set the tone for your day, which she believes will set the tone for your life, and lead you to more of an awareness of God’s presence.  If you’ve ever wondered… How to handle chaotic, back-to-school mornings What the Bible says about mornings What a “quiet time” is and if it matters If waking up before sunrise is necessary for the Christian woman How to redeem the day when your morning has been hard Then this episode is for you!! Jennifer’s Book: https://jenniferdukeslee.com/how-to-love-your-morning/   Quiz Link: https://jenniferdukeslee.com/find-your-morning-archetype/  As always, thank you so much for listening!

    Wait – What Does Freedom in Christ Actually Mean? Understanding God’s Heart, Exercising Our Freedom, & Resting within the Lord’s Loving Limits (Ep 27)

    Today’s episode might just be the MOST anticipated one in the whole history of The Miraculous Freedom Podcast! We are finally focusing an ENTIRE episode on freedom in Christ!! I called in a friend who I believe is an expert on the subject, and she did NOT disappoint! My friend Brook Kerth is a wife, mom, and free spirit from Arizona who has worked in campus ministry for a number of years. I was so impressed by the way scripture poured out of her so naturally during our conversation and truly appreciated her vulnerability in sharing different barriers she’s had to overcome on her journey to growing in freedom in Christ.  If you’ve ever wondered… What “freedom in Christ” even means If our culture’s definition of freedom is different from the Bible’s If God cares about our personal freedom How you can get free from things that are holding you back Then this episode is for you!!

    Free to Engage in the Here & Now: Creating & Keeping Healthy Digital Boundries (Ep 26)

    Today’s episode was SO eye-opening to me! I was honored to interview Trinity Sprik, who beautifully and vulnerably shares her testimony regarding technology. As you’ll hear in the episode, social media morphed from a fun, creative outlet for her to a source of truth in her early days of being a new mom. Through a tragic time with a loved one, Trinity’s eyes were opened to the fact that she’d become a little too dependent upon social media. After a four-month fast, she re-entered the online space with intentionality and a passion to help others live free from technology dependence.  If you’ve ever wondered:  How to know if you rely on your phone too much  How a phone could hinder you from walking in freedom in Christ Why we turn to our phones when we’re anxious (even though we know they’ll make us more anxious!) How Christians should respond to the increase in usage of ChatGPT (especially for relational advice and as a Bible study tool) Whether or not technology usage can cause spiritual issues If there’s a difference between consuming the SAME information on Instagram vs. a book How to increase digital friction How to be more present with your kids during the summer months Then you’re in the right place!
