This Feels Holy is a sacred space for honest conversations about faith, identity, becoming, and the everyday moments where God meets us—right in the middle of our mess, our joy, and our becoming. Hosted by Danna Gift, this podcast explores the raw, unfiltered process of walking with God when life doesn’t always look or feel “put together.” Through personal stories, spiritual reflections, and powerful interviews, you’ll find encouragement for the in-between spaces: the waiting, the wandering, and the whispering from Heaven that reminds you—you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. Because not everything makes sense right away. But if you slow down… you might just realize: this feels holy.

    I Thought God Owed Me...Here's What I Learned About Entitlement

    Send us Fan Mail Hey you 🤍 I wanted to sit down and talk about something that honestly convicted me… because I didn’t even realize I was doing this in my relationship with God. Lately, I’ve been struggling with my faith — feeling frustrated, distant, and honestly questioning why things weren’t working out the way I thought they should. And as I sat with it, I realized something deeper was going on. In this video, I’m sharing a hard truth I had to face: I was treating my obedience to God like a transaction… expecting Him to show up the way I wanted Him to. We don’t always mean to do this, but it can quietly show up through: unmet expectations frustration when prayers aren’t answered comparing our lives to others or feeling like God “didn’t come through” This isn’t a perfect or polished message — it’s real, it’s raw, and it’s something I’m actively working through in this season of motherhood, life transitions, and growing my faith. If you’ve ever: -felt frustrated with God -questioned His goodness in your life -struggled with your faith in a hard season -or wondered why things aren’t working out I hope this feels like a conversation with a friend who’s figuring it out too. Because maybe it’s not that God isn’t showing up… maybe He’s just not showing up the way we expected. And maybe there’s something deeper He’s trying to do in us. We’re learning, growing, and choosing faith — one day at a time 🤍 ___ ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Intro: Following Up on My Faith Struggle 01:00 – Why I Felt Distant From God 02:00 – The Birth Story That Changed My Perspective 03:30 – When God Protects You Differently Than Expected 04:30 – Where Entitlement Comes From (Pride) 05:30 – Control, Ego & Lack of Surrender 06:30 – “Transactional Faith” (Hard Truth) 07:30 – Cultural Christianity vs Real Faith 08:30 – The Reality of Walking With God 10:00 – Signs You Might Be Feeling Entitled 12:00 – When Frustration Pulls You Away From God 13:00 – Comparing Your Life to Others 14:30 – Social Media & Feeling Overlooked 16:00 – Treating Obedience Like a Transaction 18:00 – Hard Questions to Ask Yourself 19:30 – Why I Still Choose God 20:30 – God Is Checking Your Heart 21:30 – Shifting My Perspective 22:30 – Focusing on Gratitude & Truth 23:30 – Remembering God’s Character 24:30 – Final Thoughts & Encouragement Support the show If you want to participate and interact with the show, head over to www.dannagift.com where you can submit your topics or questions you want to hear on any upcoming episodes.

    I Obeyed God and Things Got Worse - My Honest Faith Struggle

    Send us Fan Mail Hey you 🤍 I wanted to sit down and talk to you honestly… because this season of my life hasn’t looked the way I expected it to. My husband and I moved to Miami out of obedience to God. We prayed, we fasted, and we truly believed He was leading us here… but since then, life has felt heavier, harder, and honestly a little confusing. In this video, I’m opening up about what it feels like when your faith doesn’t feel as strong anymore… when God feels quiet… and when life doesn’t match what you thought obedience would bring. This isn’t a “how to have stronger faith” video. This is the real, in-the-middle-of-it version. If you’ve ever: felt like God went silent questioned why your life isn’t working out struggled with your relationship with God felt overwhelmed in a hard season or wondered if you did something wrong… I hope this feels like sitting with a friend who understands. Because even in the silence, I’m learning something I didn’t expect… And maybe you are too.
