    49 Episode - Can pain and peace exist together?

    Can pain and peace exist together? In this episode of Still With Purpose, Amanda and Christy explore the tension most people quietly live in but rarely know how to name. We tend to believe we have to choose between grief and gratitude, struggle and stability, or pain and peace. But what if healing is not about choosing one emotion over another, but learning to hold both at the same time? We talk about what it looks like to: Recognize what is still good in your life while something else feels like it is falling apart Stop forcing yourself into a single emotional response Allow grief and gratitude to coexist without guilt Reframe seasons where life feels both broken and beautiful Stay grounded when your emotions feel divided or overwhelming This conversation challenges the idea that peace only shows up when everything is resolved. Instead, it invites you into a deeper kind of stability that can exist in the middle of uncertainty. If you have ever felt like you should be “over it” or “only grateful” or “only hurting,” this episode will meet you right where you are. Reflection questions from this episode: Where are you trying to force a single emotion instead of allowing both What would it look like to acknowledge the pain without losing sight of the good Can you recognize what is being given while you are grieving what is being taken Listen now and share this with someone who needs the reminder that both can be true at the same time.

    48 Episode - Contentment While You Wait on God

    What if peace was never supposed to come after the breakthrough?What if real faith is built while you’re still waiting? In this episode, Amanda and Christy dive deep into the tension between trusting God after the miracle versus trusting Him before anything changes. We talk about waiting seasons, unanswered prayers, fear, anxiety, grief, faith, surrender, and learning how to find contentment before the outcome arrives. “CONTENTMENT IS NOT FOUND IN OUTCOMES. IT'S FOUND IN TRUST.”— Amanda Sharp This conversation explores why so many of us struggle during seasons of uncertainty, why waiting on God can feel exhausting, and how peace is possible even when life feels unresolved. We discuss: Trusting God in hard seasons How faith is formed in the waiting Finding peace before breakthrough Learning contentment in uncertainty Anxiety while waiting on answered prayers Choosing joy during grief and disappointment Letting go of control and outcomes Why God develops character during delays The emotional battle between trust and fear Contentment vs chasing outcomes Faith during terminal illness and difficult news How waiting seasons reveal what we truly believe Why gratitude alone is not enough without trust Biblical contentment and Philippians 4 Moses, the Red Sea, and stepping forward in faith How to trust God when nothing is changing If you’ve been waiting for healing, financial breakthrough, clarity, direction, restoration, provision, or peace, this episode is for you.

    45 Episode - The Pattern Isn’t the Problem — The Lie Is

    The Pattern Isn’t the Problem — The Lie Is In this episode, Amanda and Christy break down the hidden reason behind self-sabotage, procrastination, and staying stuck — and it’s not what most people think. “The actions that hold you back are fueled by the lies you’ve swallowed.” Every behavior that keeps you stuck is rooted in something deeper — a belief you accepted as truth. “I’m not ready.” “I don’t have what it takes.” “I’m not enough.” These thoughts don’t just exist… they quietly shape your decisions, your confidence, and your entire direction in life.In this conversation, we unpack how these lies are formed, how they show up in your daily habits, and how to start breaking free from them — practically, not just theoretically. If you’ve ever struggled with overthinking, procrastination, self-doubt, or feeling stuck in cycles you can’t break, this episode will give you the clarity you’ve been missing.You’ll learn: How to identify the lie behind your self-sabotage, Why awareness is the first step to real change, How taking action builds confidence faster than waiting, Where these beliefs actually come from, How to replace limiting beliefs with truth that moves you forward, Why growth always triggers internal resistance, How to stay grounded when fear and doubt show up, The role of discipline, routine, and mindset in breaking cycles, We also talk about: Imposter syndrome and stepping into something new, Morning routines that create clarity and direction, Letting go of old identities that no longer serve you, How your environment and past experiences shape your beliefs, Why most people stay stuck — and how to choose differently Reflection Questions: What lie am I still believing that holds me back? If I chose to challenge it today, what would my life look like tomorrow? What action can I take this week to disprove the lie? This isn’t about perfection — it’s about awareness, honesty, and taking your next step. If this resonates, you might want to hear the full conversation on our podcast.

    44 Episode - What if you stopped being the strong one?

    What if you stopped being the strong one? In this honest and deeply relatable conversation, Amanda and Christy unpack the emotional weight of always being “the strong one” and what it actually costs you over time. If you’ve ever felt like the one who holds everything together, carries everyone else’s emotions, and never gets to fall apart… this episode is for you. We talk about the hidden burnout behind strength, the identity crisis that can come when you try to let that role go, and how to begin allowing support back into your life without guilt. “Being strong isn’t the problem. Feeling like you have to be strong all the time is.” This episode dives into: – what creates the “strong one” identity – why high-capacity people struggle to ask for help – emotional burnout from carrying too much responsibility – how single parents and leaders get stuck in survival mode – masculine vs feminine energy in daily life and decision making – why you feel resentful even when you love serving others – how to communicate your needs clearly without guilt – practical ways to stop overfunctioning and start receiving support – how to rebuild identity beyond being “the strong one” – faith, surrender, and trusting God with what you can’t carry anymore We also share real life experiences around parenting, relationships, grief, leadership, and healing, along with simple shifts that can help you step out of constant pressure and into a more supported, balanced life. If you’ve been strong for too long… this might be the permission you didn’t know you needed. We’re so glad you’re here.– Amanda & Christy If this conversation speaks to you, we would love to know.

    43 Episode - From “Say Goodbye” to Miracle Recovery - Ronda's Story

    What happens when doctors say there’s no hope… and then everything changes? In this episode, Amanda and Christy sit down with Ronda Davis to share a powerful, real-life story that answers a question many people quietly ask: Do answered prayers actually happen today? This is the very first episode in our Answered Prayers series, where we bring you real stories of faith, surrender, and the moments where God shows up in ways we can’t explain. Ronda walks us through the terrifying moment her mom went into acute liver failure, the call to “say goodbye,” and what happened next as prayers began pouring in from family, friends, churches, and even strangers. This is a story about specific prayers, surrendering control, community support, and watching a situation go from impossible… to undeniable. We talk about: what to do when you don’t have the strength to pray how to surrender when the outcome is out of your hands why specific prayer requests matter how community prayer can carry you when you can’t carry yourself recognizing answered prayers in real time trusting God when things don’t go the way you expected how faith grows through real-life miracle stories Ronda shares how she reached a point where she couldn’t carry the weight anymore and simply said, “God, carry me.” And what followed was something no one in the room could have predicted. If you’ve ever wondered if God is listening…If you’ve ever prayed and felt like nothing was happening…If you need hope in a situation that feels impossible…This conversation is for you. We are honored to share this story with you, and we hope it strengthens your faith, encourages your heart, and reminds you that you are not alone. – Amanda & Christy If this conversation speaks to you, we would love to know.

    42 Episode - Answered Prayers Series Introduction

    Amanda and Christy introduce a powerful new series by asking a simple but profound question: Do you believe God still answers prayers? Welcome to our Answered Prayers series—a collection of real stories, real testimonies, and real moments where God showed up in ways only He can. We believe there is power in sharing what God has done. When we keep those stories to ourselves, we miss the opportunity to build faith in others. But when we speak them out loud, something shifts. Faith grows. Hope rises. And suddenly, what felt impossible starts to feel possible again. In this series, we will be: Sharing real answered prayer stories from everyday peopleTalking about miracles—both big and smallHighlighting testimonies that build faith and inspire hopeCreating a space where you can hear what God is doing right now Some of these stories will be dramatic. Some will be quiet but deeply personal. All of them matter. Because the same God who raised Lazarus…who multiplied food for thousands…is still moving today. We also talk about why testimonies are so important. As humans, we forget. We question. We lose sight of what God has already done. But when we hear someone else’s story, it reminds us of our own—and invites us to believe again. This series is about filling your mind with truth, hope, and the goodness of God instead of the negativity we are constantly surrounded by. If you have a story of an answered prayer that could encourage someone else, we would love to hear from you. Your story might be exactly what someone else needs to keep going.
