****Top 10% Global Ranking**** Are you wondering if you can trust God with your mess? Do you long for more peace, clarity, and confidence in both God and yourself? Are you tired of holding it together for everyone else while feeling overwhelmed or unseen inside? Do you desire to live with integrity, depth, and a faith that feels steady even in uncertain seasons? Then you are in the right place, my friend. This podcast offers honest, faith-filled conversations to help you find peace with God in seasons of transition, uncertainty, and everyday chaos. Through biblical truth, real-life stories, and practical encouragement, you’ll be supported as you heal emotionally, grow spiritually, and feel more secure in your identity in Christ. Hi. I’m Sarah. A wife, mom of three, and the big sister you didn’t know you needed. My earlier adult years were marked by confusion, waiting, deep growth, and real pain. I loved Jesus and wanted to follow Him faithfully, but I struggled to trust Him fully with my life. I searched for worth through approval, relationships, and achievement. I carried emotional wounds far longer than I should have, and I exhausted myself trying to feel secure in all the wrong places. God eventually led me into a season that required total trust and dependence on Him. Through that season, and through the mentorship of wise, godly women who met me in my vulnerability, my relationship with Christ was transformed. They were the spiritual mentors and encouragers I didn’t know I needed at the time. As I began to understand that my identity was rooted in Christ, not in my performance, relationships, or roles, everything started to shift. My confidence grew. My trust in God deepened. I found contentment, clarity, and a new steadiness in my calling. I began to see that every season God had walked me through, even the painful and confusing ones, carried purpose He could redeem for His glory. Now, I want to walk alongside you. Whether you are navigating early adulthood, motherhood, transition, grief, uncertainty, or a season where life feels especially heavy, this podcast is here to remind you that you are not alone and that God is near. So, if you’re ready to: Heal from past wounds and unresolved pain… Feel rooted and steady in your faith… Have a safe place to bring your mess to God… Understand who God is, who you are, and how those intersect in real life… Then this podcast is for you. Come as you are. Yoga pants optional. Bible open. Let’s walk this out together. Join the TGBC Insiders: https://sarah-coppiano.kit.com/insider What to join other listeners in an exclusive community?

    What does the Bible Says About Grief? For Women Navigating Loss, Change, and Uncertainty | 37

    Have you been pushing through pain that God is asking you to process? Is there a loss, disappointment, or transition you never fully grieved? Do you feel anxious about the future because you’re still carrying pain from the past? Have you mistaken grief for weakness instead of seeing it as part of healing? What if your tears are the very thing God wants to use to bring blessing? In this deeply personal episode, Sarah shares how the Lord led her into what she calls a “holy time-out.” After stepping away from social media, quitting her job, and navigating significant personal loss, God began uncovering grief she had been carrying for years. What started as a simple prompt from the Holy Spirit to “write down all the pain you’ve been carrying in your heart” became the beginning of a profound healing journey. Through The Book of Psalms, Sarah discovered the beautiful picture of the Valley of Baca, also known as the Valley of Tears. Scripture promises that those who walk through this valley can make it a place of springs, where God turns sorrow into blessing. Sarah also shares three life-changing insights from Back Porch Theology that reframed her understanding of grief and healing. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why grief often sneaks up on us when we think we’re “fine” How God may intentionally assign seasons of grief What the Valley of Baca reveals about sorrow and healing Why grieving is not weakness, but evidence that something mattered How unprocessed grief can fuel fear about the future Connect with Sarah Follow Sarah for biblical encouragement, faith-filled mentorship, and behind-the-scenes content from the podcast.

    Depression or Divine Interruption? What Christian Women Need to Know When God Hits Pause | 36

    Have grief, depression, or burnout left you feeling confused about what God is doing? Do you tend to push harder when things stop making sense, or do you freeze and feel stuck? What if God’s interruption is not a setback, but an invitation to heal? In this deeply personal episode, Sarah shares what happened during her two-month break from the podcast and how an unexpected depression diagnosis became the catalyst for a powerful season of healing and surrender. Using the analogy of a GPS rerouting mid-drive, Sarah unpacks what it feels like when God changes the plan and you’re left wondering, “But I thought this was the way.” When life suddenly shifts, many of us respond in one of two ways: we either push harder in the wrong direction, trying to force the original plan, or we freeze and stop moving altogether. Both responses are often rooted in fear, control, and the quiet belief that God’s reroute must mean we did something wrong. Sarah shares how grief from her mother’s passing, years of accumulated stress, ministry fatigue, and an unexpected season of depression led God to interrupt her striving and call her into a season of rest. In this episode, you’ll learn: What depression looked like in Sarah’s life, even when she was still functioning How unresolved grief and chronic stress can impact your mind, body, and spirit Why God sometimes asks us to pause good things to make room for healing Biblical examples of divine interruption, rest, and redirection How striving and productivity can become subtle identity traps Three lessons God taught Sarah during this season of surrender and restoration If you are navigating change, grief, burnout, anxiety, or uncertainty, this episode will remind you that God’s reroutes are not signs of failure. They are invitations to trust Him more deeply and discover that your worth has never depended on your output.

    Why Change Feels So Scary And What It Reveals About Your Identity in Christ

    Have you ever walked through a major life change and suddenly felt unsure of who you are? When a role, routine, or season shifts, does your sense of security feel shaken too? Have you noticed how much peace you attach to sameness, predictability, or being needed? What happens internally when the things you’ve built your life around are taken away? This episode is for anyone navigating transition, identity shifts, anxiety around change, or confusion about calling and purpose. In this episode, we explore how major life shifts often reveal where our identity and security have been quietly rooted. I share how, over time, my identity slowly moved from who I am in Christ to what I was doing. Not intentionally. Not rebelliously. Gradually. And when those roles and rhythms were disrupted, I felt lost and unsettled. We talk about the difference between identity and function. How we often confuse calling with worth. And why change feels so threatening when our security is built on sameness instead of on Christ. This conversation centers on Galatians 2:19–21 as the foundational scripture for identity in Christ. A reminder that our old ways of defining ourselves have been crucified with Christ, and that our life now flows from Him, not from performance, productivity, or people-pleasing.   Contact → https://www.facebook.com/share/g/17npCJcUYY/ Instagram → @sarah.coppiano Resources → www.sarahcoppiano.com

    Disappointment Isn’t the Problem. What You Do With It Is (A Biblical Path to Healing) | 34

    Ever worked hard for something you loved, only to feel overlooked or undervalued? Have you ever had the rug pulled out from under you right when you thought things were finally moving forward? Do you struggle with disappointment that quietly turns into bitterness or self-doubt? Are you ignoring a disappointment because it hurts too much to face? Do you replay a situation over and over, assigning meaning and intent that may not be true? In this episode, I’m unpacking the pain of disappointment and the two unhealthy extremes we often fall into when life doesn’t go the way we hoped. Ignoring it or amplifying it. I share a personal story of workplace disappointment and how unprocessed hurt slowly turned into resentment, insecurity, and distorted self-beliefs. We’ll talk honestly about how disappointment shows up in our jobs, relationships, church spaces, leadership dynamics, and seasons where expectations go unmet. You’ll learn why ignoring disappointment doesn’t make it go away. It only buries it. And why amplifying disappointment can feel justified but often keeps us stuck, assigning false narratives and blocking reconciliation. We’ll also name the role pride plays in both responses and how it quietly hardens our hearts. Most importantly, I walk through the biblical practice of acknowledgement. How to name the pain without becoming bitter. How to pursue reconciliation when it’s needed. And how to release disappointment to God when healing doesn’t come the way we hoped. This episode is for anyone carrying unresolved disappointment and longing for emotional healing, restored peace, and renewed trust in God.   Contact → https://bit.ly/TrustGodBeConfident Connect → Join our free Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/share/g/17npCJcUYY/ Instagram → @sarah.coppiano Resources → www.sarahcoppiano.com   Next Steps: Step 1: Join a supportive community of women learning to trust God in transition inside the free Facebook group Step 2: Sign up for the weekly newsletter for encouragement, biblical truth, and practical faith tools at https://bit.ly/tgbc-insider Step 3: Get more personalized support through faith-based coaching resources coming soon

    Ever say, “I trust God” but realize real life is testing that statement? Feel stuck between knowing what the Bible says and struggling to believe it applies to your situation? Trying to let go of control but afraid everything will fall apart if you do?   In this episode, I’m sharing why trusting God can feel so difficult in seasons of transition, anxiety, and uncertainty, especially when you’re trying to let go of control but don’t feel safe doing so. If you’ve ever wrestled with trusting God in hard times, struggled to hear God’s voice, or felt overwhelmed by fear, waiting, or emotional exhaustion, this conversation is for you. We explore how life with the Lord is one long trust fall, walking through obstacles that stretch your faith and require surrender again and again. Using three powerful names of God from Scripture. Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Nissi, and Abba Father, we unpack God’s character as faithful provider, victorious protector, and loving Father. These truths help anchor your faith, calm anxiety, and build spiritual confidence when peace feels far away and clarity feels out of reach.

    Have you ever heard the quote, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results”? So what if this year, we stopped setting vague spiritual goals. And instead, we did something different. In this episode, I’m sharing why simply saying “I want to grow spiritually” isn’t enough. And how creating a simple, intentional spiritual growth plan can change everything. I walk you through what I’m personally changing this year. I also share a powerful story from our family that reframed spiritual growth for me in a whole new way. Growth happens when we get what we actually need. That’s true physically, emotionally, and spiritually. If you’ve felt stuck, inconsistent, or like you’re just coasting in your faith, this conversation will help you slow down, reflect, and take ownership of your spiritual life with grace and purpose. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about being intentional so real growth can happen. What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why repeating the same spiritual habits won’t lead to new growth How to stop letting life lead you and start leading your spiritual life A simple framework for creating a spiritual growth plan that’s realistic How to inventory your current prayer life, Bible reading, and community Practical tools to deepen your prayer life, including praying Scripture Why quarterly check-ins can keep you focused and encouraged The role of community, accountability, and discipleship in real growth Scripture, Tools, & Resources Mentioned Jennie Allen Dream Guide Prayer lists and prayer schedules Praying Scripture.

    Feeling Like You’re Not Behind in Life? Faith for Women Still in the Middle

    What if you’re ending the year without clarity. Still waiting. Still in transition. Still carrying unanswered prayers into the new year. In this episode, I talk honestly about what it means to live in the middle. That in between season where life feels unresolved and faith feels quieter, yet God is still present and faithful. This conversation is for Christian women navigating transition, waiting on God, motherhood, and seasons that feel unfinished. I share how the song The Middle by Jimmy Eat World became a personal anthem during a season of transition and why the concept of “the middle” still matters today. 🎵 Song referenced: 👉 The Middle by Jimmy Eat World https://open.spotify.com/track/6GG73Jik4jUlQCkKg9JuGO?si=4406562a4a4d425a We explore the cultural pressure to end the year with answers and why clarity is not required for faithfulness. Through the stories of Hannah and Ruth, we see how God works in waiting, obedience, and uncertainty. Scriptures referenced: 1 Samuel 1:12–16 Ruth 2:11–12 Proverbs 3:5–7 Philippians 4:7 If you’re ending the year in the middle, you’re not behind. You’re being held. 👉 Join my email newsletter for encouragement and support for women walking through seasons of transition and waiting. https://bit.ly/tgbc-insider   Contact → https://bit.ly/TrustGodBeConfident Connect → Join our free Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/share/g/17npCJcUYY/ Instagram → @sarahcoppiano Resources → www.sarahcoppiano.com
