    Faith in the Waiting — When God’s Timing Feels Painful

    Waiting seasons can stretch faith in ways answered prayers never do—especially when waiting is marked by loss, grief, or unmet longing. In this deeply personal episode of Grace Over Guilt, host Cheryl Goldizen shares her story of miscarriage, infertility, and trusting God through painful waiting. Drawing parallels to Hannah’s story in Scripture, this episode offers comfort to women navigating loss, longing, and unanswered prayers, while reminding listeners that God’s timing is intentional—even when it hurts. In This Episode, We Talk About: The silent grief of miscarriage and infertilityWrestling with God’s timing after lossFaith that exists alongside sorrow and questionsHannah’s story and raw prayer before GodWhy waiting seasons are not wasted Scripture References: Psalm 34:18 — God close to the brokenhearted1 Samuel 1:10 — Hannah’s anguished prayerProverbs 3:5 — Trusting God without understandingPhilippians 1:6 — God finishes what He begins Reflection Question: Where am I still waiting—and how might God be inviting me to trust Him in that space?

    Why Guilt Is Not the Voice of God

    Guilt is something many moms carry quietly—believing it’s part of being faithful, responsible, or “doing enough.” But what if the guilt we carry isn’t coming from God at all? In this episode of Grace Over Guilt, host Cheryl Goldizen gently explores the difference between conviction and condemnation, and why guilt is not the voice God uses to lead His children. This conversation invites moms to release shame, recognize God’s kindness, and grow in faith without pressure. In This Episode, We Talk About: How guilt subtly shows up in motherhoodThe difference between conviction and condemnationWhy God does not parent us through shameRelearning how to recognize God’s voiceGrowing spiritually without guilt or fearScripture References: Romans 8:1 — No condemnation in ChristRomans 2:4 — God’s kindness leads usPsalm 103:8 — God’s compassion and grace Reflection Question: Is the guilt I’m carrying drawing me closer to God—or pushing me further away? Closing Prayer: A prayer asking God to help us release guilt that is not from Him and to recognize His gentle, grace-filled voice.

    Faith In The Middle Of It

    Faith doesn’t always begin when life feels calm or certain. More often, it grows right in the middle—of unanswered questions, tired days, and ordinary moments that feel heavier than expected. In this opening episode of Grace Over Guilt, host Cheryl Goldizen invites moms into a gentle conversation about what real faith looks like in the middle of motherhood. Faith when you’re exhausted. Faith when you don’t have clarity. Faith when you’re still figuring things out. This episode is a reminder that God meets us exactly where we are—not where we think we should be—and that honest, imperfect faith still matters deeply to Him. In This Episode, We Talk About: What faith looks like in everyday motherhoodLetting go of pressure to have “perfect” faithHow guilt creeps into our spiritual livesGod meeting us in uncertainty and exhaustionWhy faith in the middle still countsScripture References: Hebrews 11:1 — Faith without seeingPsalm 34:18 — God is close to the brokenheartedMatthew 28:20 — God’s promise to be with us alwaysReflection Question: What does faith look like for you right now—not ideally, but honestly? A Note for Moms: You don’t have to have it all together to walk with God. You don’t need perfect faith to be held by Him. Faith in the middle still matters.
