    Why You Feel Behind in Life (And How to Fix It) | Ep. 8

    Do you feel like you're falling behind in life? Like everyone else is getting married, building careers, finding success, and moving forward while you're still trying to figure everything out? You're not the only one feeling the pressure. But what if the expectations you're trying to meet aren't the ones God has for your life? In this episode of Truth Over Feelings, Marjorie Cole and her granddaughter Jacinta have an honest conversation about stress, anxiety, comparison, and the pressure to have your entire future figured out. Jacinta shares what it's like being in your twenties, trying to make decisions about careers, relationships, and your future while feeling like everyone else is further ahead. Marjorie challenges the idea that our worth comes from what we accomplish, how successful we become, or what other people think about us. Instead, she explains why understanding who God created us to be is essential to finding peace and purpose. Together, they explore the spiritual battle behind stress, the lies that tell us we're failures, and why trying to control everything ourselves only adds to the pressure. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why you feel behind in life, even when you're doing your bestHow to deal with stress and pressure from a biblical perspectiveWhy social media comparison can distort your identityHow fear of failure and unrealistic expectations affect your decisionsWhy your accomplishments don't determine your worthHow negative thoughts and spiritual deception can keep you stuckWhy God doesn't always immediately remove difficult circumstancesHow challenges can become opportunities for growthWhy knowing your identity in Christ changes how you approach lifeHow to stop carrying the burden of figuring everything out yourselfWhy God's plan for your life matters more than the world's definition of successWHAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIGURE EVERYTHING OUT? Marjorie reminds us that God already knows who we are, why He created us, and what He wants us to become. Instead of carrying the weight of our future, we can learn to trust Him, seek His direction, and stop allowing fear, comparison, and expectations to control our decisions. Jesus said: "My yoke is easy, and my burden is light." — Matthew 11:30 You weren't meant to carry every burden alone.

    How to Know if It's God or Just Your Own Thoughts | Ep. 7

    How do you know if God is speaking to you or if it's just your own thoughts? How can you recognize the Holy Spirit's voice without being misled by your feelings, false signs, or spiritual deception? Explore more biblical teaching and resources: https://liferecovery.com In Episode 7 of Truth Over Feelings, Marjorie Cole and her granddaughter Jacinta tackle one of the most important questions Christians ask: How do I hear God's voice and know it's really Him? Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice" (John 10:27). But what does that actually mean? Does God speak through our thoughts, our feelings, or a still, small voice? And how can we tell the difference between the Holy Spirit's leading and something that simply feels right? Marjorie explains why God's Word must be our standard for truth, how spiritual discernment works, and why following the Holy Spirit requires more than just hearing Him. It also requires trusting and obeying Him. Jacinta shares a personal story about asking God for a very specific sign involving a yellow truck—and what happened when she received an answer she didn't want to accept. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER: How to distinguish God's voice from your own thoughtsWhy your feelings aren't always a reliable guide to truthHow the Holy Spirit leads and reveals God's willWhy Scripture is the standard for spiritual discernmentHow the enemy can use deception and false signs to lead people astrayWhy asking God for a sign can be misleadingThe importance of being still and trusting God's directionWhy hearing God's voice and obeying Him are two different thingsWhy following God's will doesn't always mean taking the easy roadKEY TAKEAWAY God wants you to know the truth. He wants to lead you out of deception and into His will. But recognizing His voice means learning to trust His Word above your feelings and being willing to follow Him even when His answer isn't what you wanted to hear.

    How to Break Free From Unforgiveness and Resentment | Ep. 6

    Forgiveness is an act of the will, not a feeling you have to wait for. Holding a grudge doesn't punish the other person. It only keeps you in a cage. Marjorie Cole and her granddaughter Jacinta take a deeper look at unforgiveness, bitterness, resentment, self-forgiveness, emotional control, and the spiritual trap of staying connected to the people who hurt you. There are people who can leave your life physically and still control your life emotionally. When you replay what they did, hold onto resentment, or wait for them to feel guilty, it may seem like you are punishing them—but often you are the one still carrying the weight. Marjorie explains that people can become stuck not only because they refuse to forgive someone else, but because they continue punishing themselves for past mistakes, sins, and regrets. That can keep a person from progressing, growing, and fully stepping into what God has for them.

    How to Forgive Someone Who Hurt You | Anger, Betrayal & Letting God Handle Justice

    What do you do when someone hurts you, betrays you, walks all over you—and you still don’t feel ready to forgive? Marjorie Cole and her granddaughter Jacinta talk honestly about forgiveness, anger, betrayal, emotional pain, bitterness, boundaries, spiritual warfare, and identity in Christ. Jacinta shares the very real frustration of wanting justice after being hurt. Marjorie explains that biblical forgiveness does not mean pretending the offense was okay. It means releasing the person from your judgment and trusting God to handle the case. Forgiveness is not a feeling. It is a choice. You can forgive someone and still feel hurt, angry, disappointed, or triggered by what happened. Forgiveness is an act of your will, not proof that every emotion has disappeared. Marjorie and Jacinta also discuss why painful feelings can come back after you forgive, how old wounds can become weak spots, and why recognizing the spiritual battle can help you stop falling back into the same cycle of anger and bitterness. The conversation also explores the temptation to build emotional walls after being hurt. Instead, Marjorie points to Jesus, who knew who He was, where He came from, and did not allow rejection or mistreatment to define His identity. In this episode: What biblical forgiveness really meansWhy forgiveness is a choice, not a feelingHow to forgive when you are still angryWhy hurt can return after you forgiveHow bitterness and unforgiveness can keep you stuckWhy emotional walls do not create real safetyHow Jesus handled rejection and mistreatmentWhy identity in Christ helps you stop taking everything personallyThe difference between love as a feeling and love as a choiceHow God’s Word helps ground you when emotions are unstable Key takeaway: Forgiveness does not erase what happened. It releases you from carrying the judgment and gives the case to God. Truth doesn't change. Feelings do.
