    Stewardship: Why You're Actually Exhausted

    In this episode, Anna wraps up her deep dive into the three core values of this podcast, courage, stewardship, and belonging by tackling what she believes is the most misunderstood of the three: stewardship. If you've been feeling tired, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin, Anna offers one powerful reframe that just might change everything. True stewardship isn't about doing more; it's about abiding first. When we get that order right, bearing fruit becomes not just possible, but inevitable. Key Takeaways Stewardship inverted is the root of overwhelm. Abiding must be proportional to the call. Every yes is a thousand no's. Check with the Lord, not just the people asking. The one-talent servant's real failure was his view of the master. The five- and two-talent servants acted immediately because they trusted their master. You have the Holy Spirit — listen to those inklings. Those most afraid of being indulgent are usually the least likely to be so. It starts and ends with how we see Him. You are not called to be weary — you are called to abide. Scriptures Referenced Joshua 1:9 — "Be strong and courageous" — Hebrew roots: chazaq (to fasten to, grab hold) and amatz (to be transformed by stepping forward) Matthew 25:14–30 — The Parable of the Talents — the central passage for this episode's teaching on stewardship John 15 — The Vine and the Branches — abiding as the source of all fruit-bearing (used as a closing benediction) Hebrews 11 — The Hall of Faith — Abraham looking forward to a city whose builder and foundation is the Lord "Through a glass dimly" (1 Corinthians 13:12) — the contrast between the partial revelation of the Old Testament and the fullness believers have today through the Holy Spirit Books & Resources Mentioned Jon Acuff — Author and speaker on business, faith, and working faithfully in your sphere. Referenced for his teaching on the power of no — how every yes forsakes everything else that could have filled that space.: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B002Q36ZTE/allbooks Michelle Nezat — Previous podcast Episode Loving the Ugly Bride: Navigating Church Hurt with Michelle Nezat: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/loving-the-ugly-bride-navigating-church-hurt-with/id1714745503?i=1000750486165  (Referenced for her concept of "costly hallelujahs" — small, sacrificial acts of love that honor the Lord and those He's placed in our lives.) Remember: You don't need to figure out what you'll take on a year from now. You just need to know today's yes and today's no. Enjoying the podcast?

    Deeply Rooted, Unshakeable STRENGTH: Lamenting Losses Well with Jodi Snowdon

    In this deeply moving and hope-filled conversation, Anna sits down with author and speaker Jodi Snowdon to explore what it really looks like to walk through heartbreak with God — and come out stronger, deeper, and more rooted in faith. Drawing from her own journey through miscarriage, divorce, and the loss of a close friend to cancer, Jodi shares the powerful STRENGTH acrostic that God gave her as she healed — a framework that has become the foundation of her book Depth: Growing Through Heartbreak to Strength. Together, Anna and Jodi discuss how to lament honestly before God, how to navigate ongoing loss, what it means to allow yourself to grieve, and how God chisels our character through the hard places we never asked for. You'll hear stories of comfort, compassion, and God's surprising redemption — including tender accounts of friendship, parenting transitions, and the ministry God has brought out of Jodi's broken places. They also talk about how to support friends in grief, how to sit with others like "the rabbit who listens," and how your cracks may be the very places God is preparing to pour out hope to others. This is a conversation that will strengthen your faith, validate your pain, and gently lead you toward the God who meets us in the depths. Key Points & Topics Covered Jodi's Story & Calling The STRENGTH Acrostic How to Support a Friend in Grief The Rabbit Who Listens God's Redemption in Brokenness Trees, Roots, and Spiritual Growth Scriptures Mentioned Psalm 34:18 — "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted." Lamentations 3:17–23 — "Yet this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope…" Genesis 50:20 — "You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good." 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 — God comforts us so we can comfort others.

    Courage: We've Had It All Wrong

    What does it really mean to be brave? In this episode, Anna unpacks a revelation about courage that transformed her understanding of one of her core values, and it all started with a deep dive into the Hebrew roots of Joshua 1:9. If you've ever felt like you just aren't gutsy enough, bold enough, or brave enough, this conversation is for you. Courage isn't a character trait you either have or don't;  it's something available to every believer, in every season, no matter how quiet or small your life may feel. Anna weaves together her three core themes - belonging, stewardship, and courage, showing how they are not separate callings but one unified life posture: being the branch, holding fast to the Vine. Whether you're in a season of intercession, grief, waiting, or bold action, this episode will reframe what bravery looks like in your everyday life. Key Points The Three Strands: Belonging, Stewardship, and Courage The Hebrew Roots of "Be Strong and Courageous" Courage Is Not a Character Trait — It's a Posture He Holds Us Even When We Can't Hold On The Greek Connection: Rest and Empowerment The One Work: Be the Branch What Courage Looks Like in Real Life Scriptures Referenced Joshua 1:9 — "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, for the Lord will be with you wherever you go." Deuteronomy (context) — Moses first spoke the charge to Joshua before his death — the same anthem the Lord then brings back in Joshua 1. John 15 — The Vine and the branch; the abiding posture that underlies all three core values. Matthew 25 — The Parable of the Talents; the foundation of the stewardship strand. 2 Corinthians 12:9–10 — "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness… when I am weak, then I am strong." Ephesians 6:10 — "Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power." Philippians 3 (ref.) — "I grab hold of that for which Christ Jesus held onto me" — the duality of holding on and being held. 2 Timothy 2:13 — "When we are faithless, He will remain faithful, because He cannot abandon Himself." Luke 6:38 — "Give, and it will be given to you — a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over…" Illustrating God's abundant sufficiency.   Books Mentioned Books The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes by Nancy Pearcey — Discusses the arc of masculinity in culture and how the Bible's definition of courage - https://a.co/d/06WpYH9g   The good news is — you're already brave. As you hold fast to the Lord and look full on His wonderful face, you're living out the call God first gave to Joshua all those years ago through Moses. Be strong and courageous. Fasten to Him. Be emboldened by Him. And do the dance again and again, every day, for the rest of your life. Go forth. Be brave. And remember — you've got this, because He's got you.

    Loving the Ugly Bride: Navigating Church Hurt with Michelle Nezat

    In this deeply needed and tender conversation, Anna sits down with author, podcaster, and Bible teacher Michelle Nezat to talk about a topic many believers quietly carry: church hurt and spiritual abuse. With decades of experience studying Scripture, creating discipleship tools, and walking alongside the body of Christ, Michelle brings clarity, biblical grounding, and compassion to a conversation that is often confusing and isolating. Together, Anna and Michelle unpack the difference between being hurt at church and experiencing church hurt or spiritual abuse, why power and authority matter in that distinction, and how easy it is to get swept into a toxic bubble without even noticing. Michelle shares from her own current "wilderness season," as she and her family navigate healing, disorientation, and the slow, steady process of finding a healthy church home after deep hurt. If you've ever asked, "Am I crazy?" "How did this happen?" "Can I trust again?" "Where do I go from here?" this episode will breathe truth, comfort, and hope into your heart. Michelle reminds us that Jesus is not the one who hurt you, His Word can heal you, and His design for the Church is good—even when His people fall so painfully short. Key Points Discussed Hurt at Church vs. Church Hurt vs. Spiritual Abuse Why Naming the Hurt Matters How Toxic "Bubbles" Form Guarding Your Heart with Scripture Healing After Church Hurt Re-entering Community with Wisdom Turning Your Eyes Upon Jesus Scriptures Mentioned 1 Timothy – Qualifications for elders and church leadership 1 Corinthians 12 – The Church as one body with many parts 1 Peter 2:4–5 – Believers as living stones being built into a spiritual house Romans 14 – Disputable matters and living unto the Lord Isaiah & Jeremiah – Warnings about idolatry and spiritual delusion Ephesians 5 – The Church as the Bride of Christ Books & Resources Mentioned A Seat at the Table – Michelle Nezat (her debut novel centered on Scripture's authority) - https://a.co/d/0ad7sRW9 More Than a Song Podcast – Michelle's long-standing podcast connecting Christian music to Scripture - https://www.michellenezat.com/podcast-2/ The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse – David Johnson & Jeff VanVonderen - https://a.co/d/0boRB0rQ The True Vine – Andrew Murray - https://a.co/d/07gDSWEh Wesley Huff – Apologist and contextual Bible teacher (mentioned as a resource Anna enjoys) - https://www.wesleyhuff.com/ Connect with Michelle Nezat Website: https://www.michellenezat.com/ Podcast: More Than a Song - https://www.michellenezat.com/podcast-3/ Novel: A Seat at the Table - https://michellenezat.podia.com/mybooks Be a Guest on the Show Want to be a guest on Overwhelmed to Overcomer?

    True Belonging: Where It Lives

    What does it really mean to belong? In this episode, Anna explores one of the three core values of the Overwhelmed to Overcomer podcast: Belonging and gently but firmly dismantles the idea that community and belonging are the same thing. Drawing from Braving the Wilderness by Brené Brown, Maya Angelou's iconic interview with Bill Moyers, and 1 Corinthians 12, Anna unpacks why true belonging must be rooted first in our connection to the Father. This conversation invites listeners to consider why being the "other" in your circles may not be a failure, but a calling. It's a raw, thoughtful, and richly layered reflection on the difference between fitting in and truly belonging, and the freedom (and cost) that comes with choosing the latter. Key Points & Takeaways Community and belonging are not the same; when seasons change, the difference is revealed The opposite of belonging is not exclusion but fitting in, which requires self-censorship True belonging is rooted in belonging to the Father, not to self or social circles John 15 reminds us that our source is the vine; connection with others is a gift, not the foundation Navigating theological and cultural differences exposes where we choose fitting in over faithfulness Belonging to the Father may make us "other," but it is the pathway to true freedom and wholeness Scriptures Referenced Matthew 25:14–30 The Parable of the Talents — foundational to the value of Stewardship. 1 Corinthians 12:12–31 The body of Christ — one body, many members, each placed by God as He chose. John 15 — The Vine and the Branches Our only true belonging is to the vine. Branches may touch, but the source remains singular.

    What Your Teen *Actually* Needs: Powerful Insights with Tindell Baldwin

    In this episode, Anna welcomes Tindell Baldwin—author of Popular: Boys, Booze, and Jesus and long-time high school small group leader—to discuss what it really looks like to love and lead teenagers with wisdom, boundaries, and unshakeable faith. Tindell has spent more than 12 years speaking to and discipling teens, helping them see both the destructive lies of sin and the redeeming love of a Savior who pursues them. Tindell shares her own story of growing up in a strong Christian home yet running hard after popularity, acceptance, and rebellion. She opens up about addiction, brokenness, and the choices that nearly destroyed her—and how her parents' steady, unconditional love became the anchor that helped lead her back to Jesus. Today, she lives in Marietta, GA with her husband, four kids, and two pups, continuing her work of writing, mentoring, and cheering on families. Together, Anna and Tindell explore the reality of parenting teens: why boundaries communicate love, how to stay "sturdy" when emotions run high, why your influence matters more than you think, and how to trust God with your child's story—even when it looks different than you hoped. If you're walking through the teen years or preparing for them, this conversation will remind you: your love matters, your presence is powerful, and God is working in ways you cannot yet see. Key Points Discussed Teenagers Don't Need Distance—They Need Presence Why Boundaries Communicate Love Being the "Sturdy Parent" The Power of Unconditional Love Your Influence Doesn't End at the Teen Years Giving Kids Room to Build Their Own Faith When Your Kid's Story Scares You Healing Your Own Story Matters Marriage as a Foundation in Parenting Helping Kids Respond to Real-Life Conflicts Scriptures Mentioned Genesis 50:20 – "You intended evil against me, but God intended it for good…" —The redemption of painful stories.

In this podcast, you'll find practical, tactical steps; honest conversations; and my-heart-to-yours invitations to rest and receive at the feet of the God who sees you as you steward well His calling for your life. The Lord has called us to do a thing - and He'll not only equip us, but also fortify and fuel us along the way. So, let's dig into this conversation of belonging … purpose … and courage. Sweet friend, your. life. MATTERS. So, if you're here for this, I'm here for you! Let's do this thing. With clarity. With courage. With each other.
