    70 | Insecurity in Men: Fear, Self-Doubt & Negative Thinking (with Chris Hirdler)

    If you’ve ever wondered why men pull away instead of opening up, this episode helps explain what’s happening underneath. Chris shares what it’s been like to live with fear, self-doubt, and negative self-talk as a man, a husband, a counselor, a father, and someone whose life changed forever after a spinal cord injury. He opens up about the quiet pressures men carry, the things they don’t say out loud, and how insecurity often hides behind silence, humor, control, or pulling away. This episode is for men who feel like they’re supposed to be strong but secretly feel unsure. And it’s for women who want to better understand what might be happening beneath the surface for the men they love. In this episode, Chris talks about: Why insecurity in men often goes unseen and unspoken How identity, comparison, and fear shape self-worth The “committee in your head” and automatic negative thoughts Why vulnerability feels risky but is necessary for growth How insecurity affects marriage, connection, and trust What Scripture says about redirecting fearful thoughts Why admitting weakness is not failure, but the beginning of trust Chris reminds us that insecurity is real, but it doesn’t get the final word. Our security isn’t found in performance, success, strength, or comparison. It’s found in God’s presence. Share this episode with someone in your life that needs it!!

    69 | Bitterness, Anger & Truth: A Heart Check in Chaotic Times

    With everything happening in Minnesota around ICE and immigration enforcement, emotions are high and the noise is loud. This episode is not about choosing sides or sharing political opinions. It’s a heart check for Christians. We talk about guarding our hearts, resisting bitterness, and staying anchored in Jesus during times of division, fear, anger, and unrest. Using Hebrews 12:15 and Philippians 4:8, I share: why stepping back from the chaos does not mean you don’t care how constant exposure to outrage can quietly change your heart why staying connected to God first is the only way we bring peace into broken situations Find more from Amanda: Website: www.amandahirdler.com Social Media: @theoopsydaisygirl

    68 | Shut Up: 3 Tips For Taming Your Tongue

    Many of us are stuck in patterns of complaining, careless talk, and constant venting when life feels heavy. Scripture is clear that our words carry weight and that what comes out of our mouth shapes our reality and relationships. We look at what the Bible says about controlling our words and offers practical ways to tame our tongue. We'll chat about: Why talking too much can actually lead you into sin. How to slow down and measure your words before you say them. A simple biblical prayer to guard your mouth. This episode is an invitation to pay attention to the “song” coming out of your mouth and let God help you change the chorus.

    67 | Give Up: Why Quitting Might Be The Right Move

    Somewhere along the way, the belief became QUITTING = FAILURE. But what if it's actually the opposite? If you’ve been exhausted, scattered, or afraid that stopping means falling apart, this episode gives you permission to see quitting as surrender...and the beginning of a very real trust in a very good God. Let's chat about: How being unable to stay present leaves us scattered and overwhelmed Why slowing down feels scary when we don’t trust God to handle what we release What happens when you quit managing everything and allow God to step in Find more from Amanda!

    66 | Honesty, Friendship, & Forgiveness: Real Marriage Talk (with Chris Hirdler)

    My husband Chris joins me for a very real, very unfiltered conversation about honesty, forgiveness, and what it actually looks like to support each other when marriage gets heavy. We’ve been divorced and remarried, and we’ve learned the hard way how quickly silence and resentment can do damage if you don’t name what’s going on. A big part of this conversation is about intimacy and friendship — how staying emotionally connected, feeling safe with each other, and remembering you’re on the same team matters just as much as fixing problems. It’s us talking through the stuff most couples avoid. We tackle: What honesty looks like when it’s uncomfortable but necessary How old wounds and unforgiveness sneak into everyday reactions The ways spouses tear each other down without realizing it What real support looks like when communication starts breaking down   Listen to our full story!  10 | From Wounded To Whole: Chris’s Journey Part 1 11 | From Wounded to Whole: Chris’s Journey Part 2 13 | Amanda’s Story & The Origin of Oopsy Daisy

    65 | Hope: Encouragement in the Dark Times

    Ten years ago, Christmas was a disaster. Broken families, anger, hurt, and walking away from people I loved. This Christmas looks completely different, not because time heals all wounds, but because God went to work. This episode is a Christmas reflection on hope that takes time. The kind that doesn’t come how you expect and doesn’t always look like change right away. But one moment, one breath of God, can still change everything. Let’s talk about: How God can restore what looks completely broken, even after years What the long silence before Jesus came teaches us about waiting Why hope can be real before anything actually looks fixed Find more from Amanda!

    64 | Why Is God Silent? 3 Truths For When You Can't Hear His Voice

    There are seasons when God feels quiet. You’re praying, asking for direction, and trying to do the right thing, but nothing feels clear. No new word. No next step. Just silence. In this episode, we talk about why God’s quiet seasons aren’t something to fear. Silence doesn’t mean He’s gone, disappointed, or ignoring you. Often, it’s an invitation to trust Him more deeply. In this episode, we talk about: Why God’s silence isn’t a sign that you’ve done something wrong Three reasons God may feel quiet and how trust and obedience fit in What Scripture shows us about why quiet often comes before something new If you’re longing for clarity, reassurance, or a sense of what’s next, this episode is a reminder that God is still working even when He isn’t speaking out loud.   Find more from Amanda!

    63 | Finding Peace in the Christmas Chaos: It's A Soul Condition

    This season is full. Not just calendars, but pressure, expectations, noise, and MINDS! This episode is about why Christmas can feel overwhelming even when it’s good, and why peace doesn’t come from getting through it or doing it better. The chaos isn’t just around you. It’s what happens when the soul is distracted and stretched thin. We look at the night Jesus was born and the story of Mary and Martha to learn how distraction affects relationships, why stillness matters, and where peace is actually formed. Let's chat about: Why the season itself isn’t the real problem What a distracted soul looks like in real life How stillness with Jesus recenters everything This is about learning how to carry peace into the middle of life instead of waiting for things to calm down first.
