We'll talk about pain, anger, grief, healing, hope, and the kind of faith that survives even when everything around you feels like it's falling apart.   Each episode will help you: • Strengthen and restore your faith during difficult seasons • Find hope when God feels distant • Bring your honest emotions to God without guilt or shame • Discover that questioning God doesn't disqualify you from His love • Develop healing faith in the middle of life's hardest moments   Why should you listen?   Because I've lived it.   I've experienced devastating loss, heartbreak, disappointment, and seasons that left me asking questions I never thought I'd ask. I've cried out to God through tears, confusion, frustration, and anger. I've wrestled with my faith while desperately trying to hold on to it at the same time.   What I've learned is that God is not afraid of our questions. He is not intimidated by our doubts.

    EP23 | Why Is It So Hard to Be Disciplined? | When Your Spirit Is Willing but Your Flesh Is Weak

    Why is it so hard to do the things we KNOW are good for us? Why do we keep choosing comfort, distractions, and temporary satisfaction over the life God is calling us to live? In this episode of Angry Prayers, we're getting real about self-discipline, breaking bad habits, denying our flesh, and the frustrating battle between what our spirit wants and what our flesh desires. Have you ever prayed, “God, why can't You just change me? Why can't You take away these desires and make me WANT to do better?” Friend, I've been there. I'm there right now. But what if we've been waiting for God to change our desires while He's inviting us to take that first step of obedience? We're talking about the struggle between flesh and Spirit, the power of our choices, and learning to give God our best instead of whatever we have left. Because your flesh may have a voice, but it doesn't get the final word. Straighten your crown, beautiful. Let's walk through the hell together. ❤️

    EP22 | What If I Don't Like the Life God Gave Me? How to Trust God When This Isn’t the Life You Prayed For.

    What if you love God… but you don’t particularly love the life you’re living right now? Hard seasons are coming. Jesus never promised us a life without trouble, but a hard season doesn’t mean God has left you, forgotten you, or stopped using you. In Episode 22 of Angry Prayers, we’re talking about trusting God when life looks nothing like you prayed it would, grieving the life you thought you’d have, and asking a different question in the middle of the struggle: “God, what are You trying to teach me while I’m here?” Because your purpose doesn’t disappear when life gets hard. Even in the waiting, disappointment, grief, and unanswered prayers, God can use you for His glory and build His Kingdom through your story. You don’t have to love every chapter to trust the Author writing the story. 🤍

    EP21 | Does God Still Love Me After Divorce? | How to Move on After Divorce, Shame, and Starting Over

    Does God still love you after divorce? Is He disappointed in you? And what if you were the one who caused the hurt? Divorce can leave behind grief, anger, guilt, shame, and questions you never thought you’d have to ask. In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about what the Bible says about divorce, the pressure to “stay for the kids,” letting go when someone no longer wants to stay, and finding grace when you know you made mistakes too. Whether you left, were left, or are still trying to figure out what comes next, your divorce does not disqualify you from the love, grace, or purpose of God. Your marriage may have ended. Your story with God didn’t. 🤍   www.angryprayers.com   https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1M6ipTkgt9/

    EP20 | Jesus Won... But Have We?

    We put it on shirts. We say it boldly. We celebrate the truth that Jesus defeated sin and death. But here’s the question I couldn’t stop thinking about: Jesus won… but have we? Because knowing about Jesus isn’t the same as knowing Him. Wearing His name isn’t the same as representing Him. And calling ourselves Christians should change more than what we believe, it should change the way we live, love, forgive, speak, and treat the people around us. In today’s episode, we’re talking about where JESUS WON comes from, what His victory actually means for us, and why wearing His name carries a responsibility. Because when you walk out the door wearing a shirt that says JESUS WON, somebody may be watching who doesn’t know Him yet. So straighten your crown, Queen. 👑 Jesus won. Now let’s live like we believe it.

    EP19 | Sometimes You Swing, Sometimes You Get Off of the Ferris Wheel | My Daughter's Incredible Courage and My Incredible Weakness, all in the Same Week

    What if courage doesn’t mean you’re no longer afraid? What if fear and courage can actually sit at the same table, and you get to decide which one gets the final say? In this Front Porch Friday episode of Angry Prayers, we’re talking about what courage really looks like when fear is still very much present. I’m sharing a few stories from my own week, including a Ferris wheel I was VERY ready to get off of 😂, watching my daughter finally swing the bat after fear had kept her frozen at the plate, and a pretty exciting first for me: being a guest on May Renfro’s Hope Again podcast and sharing Colton’s story. Because maybe being brave isn’t about waiting until you’re not scared anymore. Maybe it’s swinging the bat while you’re scared. Getting on the ride while you’re scared. Saying yes while you’re scared. Taking the next step while you’re scared. Fear may have a seat at the table, but it doesn’t get to make the decisions. Grab your coffee and come sit on the porch with me. ❤️ Front Porch Friday:  Sometimes You Swing, Sometimes You Get Off of the Ferris Wheel | My Daughter's Incredible Courage and My Incredible Weakness, all in the Same Week Straighten your crown, Queen. 👑 And keep walking through the hell of it, I’ll be walking with you.

    EP18 | How to Let Go of People, Outcomes, & Expectations | Trusting God with What Happens Next

    What if the thing stealing your peace isn’t what happened, but how hard you’re fighting against what already is? In this episode of Angry Prayers, we’re talking about how to let go of people, outcomes, and expectations you can’t control, and trust God with what comes next. Inspired in part by Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory, we’ll talk about allowing people to make their own choices, accepting when relationships and seasons change, and why “it is what it is” doesn’t mean you don’t care. Sometimes acceptance simply means recognizing what is true, loosening your grip, and asking, “Okay, God… what do I do from here?” We’ll also look at what Scripture shows us about people walking away, relationships changing, and trusting that God’s purpose for your life doesn’t disappear when a person, plan, or season does. Because some things aren’t yours to fix. Some people aren’t yours to convince. And some seasons aren’t yours to extend. Seasonal doesn’t mean meaningless. ❤️ If you’re struggling to let go, accept what you can’t change, or trust God when life isn’t unfolding the way you expected, grab your coffee and come sit with me. It is what it is, but that doesn’t mean it’s all it will ever be.

    EP17 | What If I’m Scared of My Own Thoughts? How to Cope When Your Mind Doesn’t Feel Like Your Own

    What happens when your own thoughts scare you? What if your brain suddenly doesn’t feel like your own? What if you’re experiencing intrusive thoughts you don’t want, panic you can’t explain, or anxiety that makes you wonder, “Am I losing control?” In today’s Front Porch Friday, we’re having a very real conversation about mental health, anxiety, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, psychiatric medication, suicide, faith, and asking for help. I’m also sharing a part of my own story that I don’t talk about often, the terrifying mental-health experience I went through about 15 years ago, the unwanted thoughts that made me afraid of my own mind, the nights I slept clutching my Bible, the times my mom and I sat outside an emergency room just so I could feel close to help, and the phone calls that sometimes consisted of nothing more than, “Mom, just talk to me.” We’re also talking about something I believe deserves more attention: advocating for yourself when it comes to medication. Ask questions. Keep an updated medication list. Make sure every doctor and specialist treating you knows what else you are taking. Ask why a medication is being prescribed, how long you’re expected to take it, what side effects to watch for, and when it should be reevaluated. And please hear me clearly: this episode is not medical advice. I am not a doctor, psychiatrist, therapist, counselor, or pharmacist. I’m sharing my personal experience. Never start, stop, change, or taper a prescribed medication based on something you hear in this episode. Talk with your doctor, prescriber, or pharmacist about your individual care. Most importantly, if your own mind is scaring you today, please tell somebody. An unwanted thought is not automatically a desire. A frightening thought does not automatically define your character. Needing help does not mean you have failed God. Prayer and treatment do not have to be enemies. And you do not have to survive the night by yourself. Please stay. Stay long enough to ask for help. Stay long enough for someone to sit beside you. Stay long enough to discover that this moment was not forever. Stay for morning. ❤️ ⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussion of anxiety, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, psychiatric medication, mental-health crises, and suicide. Please take care of yourself while listening. CRISIS SUPPORT: If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis in the United States, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Free, confidential support from trained crisis counselors is available 24/7. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Straighten that crown, talk to Jesus throughout your whole day, and keep walking through the hell of it. I’ll be walking with you. ❤️

    EP16 | Did I Miss God's Calling for My Life? How to Trust God When Your Life Didn't Go as Planned

    What happens when you look around at your life and realize it looks NOTHING like you thought it would? Maybe you thought you'd be married by now. Maybe you thought you'd have the career, the house, the family, the financial stability, or at least have some idea what you wanted to be when you grew up. 😂 Instead, you're wondering if you made too many wrong turns, wasted too much time, or somehow missed God's calling for your life. I've been there. At 30, I was a single mom raising four boys, looking at my life and feeling like I was already behind. Now, at 48, I can look back and see something I couldn't see then: maybe I hadn't missed my calling at all. Maybe I just hadn't gotten there yet. In this episode of Angry Prayers, we're talking about trusting God when life doesn't go as planned, letting go of the timelines we created for ourselves, starting over after mistakes and disappointments, and believing that God can still bring purpose and beauty from a story that feels messy. If you've ever wondered, “Is it too late for me?” “Did I ruin my life?” or “Did I miss what God had for me?”.... come sit with me. Your story isn't over just because this chapter didn't look the way you expected. Straighten that crown. 👑❤️   PRIVATE FACEBOOK COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18sBfMbJtS/   JOIN MY EMAIL LIST FOR WEEKLY ENCOURAGEMENT: angry-prayers-podcast-rxaxzh.subscribepage.io
