    🎙️ UNFILTERED FAITH WITH AFIYA | SEASON 1, EPISODE 5

    First, let me apologize for my absence and the inconsistency in releasing new episodes. Life has been happening, and sometimes you have to allow yourself the grace to navigate the very things you speak about. I’ve been sitting on this episode for a while now, contemplating when the right time would be to release it. And I’ve come to realize that sometimes a message isn’t meant to be released when it’s recorded, but when it’s needed. There’s too much invested in who I’m becoming for me to compromise what it took to get here. The healing. The lessons. The sacrifices. The prayers. The growth. None of it was for nothing. In Episode 5 of The Unpacking Series, we’re having an unfiltered conversation about what happens when we risk compromising ourselves for something that may only be temporary. Because everything we desire isn’t necessarily worth what it could cost us. And sometimes the greatest act of growth is recognizing that what you’ve invested in becoming is worth protecting. 🎧 Listen or watch on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. Healing is a journey. Faith is a lifestyle. Becoming is a daily decision. #UnfilteredFaithWithAfiya #TheUnpackingSeries #TooMuchInvested #PersonalGrowth #FaithAndHealing

    When Rejection Becomes a Wound | Unpacking the Weight of Rejection | Ep. 4

    Have you ever been rejected by someone, overlooked for an opportunity, or told “no” so many times that eventually you started questioning you? Rejection can hurt but when rejection goes unhealed, it can become a wound that changes how we see ourselves, how we love, how we trust, and even how we show up in rooms God has called us to enter. In Episode 4 of Unfiltered Faith with Afiya, we’re reaching back into the backpack and unpacking the weight of rejection. We’re talking about what happens when rejection teaches us to overexplain, overgive, people-please, shrink, prove ourselves, or become whoever people need us to be just so they won’t leave. Because sometimes rejection didn’t just hurt you. Rejection trained you. But here’s the truth we’re unpacking together: Rejection is something you may have experienced. It is NOT who you are. It’s time to stop allowing someone else’s inability to choose you to determine your ability to choose yourself. So grab your Bible, grab your journal, and come unpack with me. 🎙️ Unfiltered Faith with Afiya

    What’s Really in Your Backpack? Unpacking the Weight of Unforgiveness

    🎙️ EPISODE 3 IS HERE AND WE’RE OPENING THE BACKPACK. We’ve all got something we’ve been carrying. Maybe it’s what they said. What they did. The betrayal. The rejection. The apology you never got. Or maybe the person you’re struggling to forgive is you. This week on Unfiltered Faith with Afiya, we’re continuing The Unpacking Series with: What’s Really in Your Backpack? Unpacking the Weight of Unforgiveness And this conversation gets REAL. Because forgiveness doesn’t mean what happened was okay. It doesn’t automatically mean reconciliation. And it doesn’t mean everybody gets the same access to you again. But at some point, we have to ask ourselves: How long am I going to carry what they did? Some situations have already gotten enough of your tears, your energy, your sleepless nights and your peace. They don’t get your future too. Take the lesson. Leave the weight. 🎧 Episode 3 of Unfiltered Faith with Afiya is available now. After you listen, come back and tell me: What are you finally ready to take out of your backpack? #UnfilteredFaithWithAfiya #TheUnpackingSeries #TakeTheLessonLeaveTheWeight #Forgiveness #Healing #Faith #ChristianPodcast

    What Are You Carrying? | The Unpacking Series | Season 1 • Episode 2

    What are you carrying that God never intended for you to carry? In Episode 2 of Unfiltered Faith with Afiya, we begin The Unpacking Series by talking about the invisible weight so many of us carry—fear, shame, rejection, disappointment, unforgiveness, and the pressure to have it all together. Jesus never asked us to carry these burdens alone. Through Matthew 11:28–30, we’ll discover His invitation to come to Him, surrender what has become too heavy, and begin the journey toward healing and freedom. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why emotional baggage becomes “normal” • How to identify the weight you’ve been carrying • What Scripture says about surrendering your burdens • Practical steps to begin unpacking and healing • A prayer to help you release what God never intended you to carry This Week’s Becoming Challenge: Take 10 minutes alone with God and ask yourself: “What am I carrying that Jesus is inviting me to release?” Write it down. Pray over it. Then trust Him with it. Thank you for joining me on this journey. Healing is a journey. Faith is a lifestyle. Becoming is a daily decision. Until next Monday… Keep Becoming. – Afiya J. #UnfilteredFaithWithAfiya #TheUnpackingSeries #ChristianPodcast #Faith #Healing #SpiritualGrowth #Jesus #BibleTeaching #ChristianWomen #Matthew1128 #Purpose #Becoming #ChristianEncouragement #FaithJourney #Podcast
