    Boundaries Are Biblical w/ Rev. Cheryl Kincaid | Ep 106

    ✝️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE In Episode 106 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with Rev. Cheryl Kincaid for a trauma-aware conversation about forgiveness, healing, and boundaries. Cheryl addresses one of the hardest questions Christians face: how do you forgive without excusing what happened? She explains the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, and why reconciliation requires repentance and safety, especially when children are involved. Cheryl also highlights confession as a Christian tool for healing (1 John 1:9) and challenges shallow, formulaic approaches to trauma recovery. The conversation touches on shame and the “damaged goods” mindset, how Scripture speaks honestly about human sin and exploitation, and why God can handle truth-telling. This episode is for anyone who has been hurt and wants a path forward that is biblical, honest, and grounded in both grace and wisdom. ****** PODCAST SHOW NOTES: Full episodes now out on YouTube! ➡️ Watch: Halfway to Sunday (Full Episodes) 🎧Listen onApple Spotify 🙏Join the community + bonus content (Patreon) 💌 Questions/Guest Requests ****** 🩵 ABOUT US Halfway to Sunday is a weekly faith-based podcast for people who want Jesus but still have questions, sharing honest, hope-filled stories of real faith through joy and loss, healing and growth, and even doubt.

    Faith After Trauma w/ Teresa Blaes | Ep 105

    ✝️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE In Episode 105 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with Teresa Blaes (podcast host, ministry leader, and founder of Kosh Media Productions) for a raw conversation about faith after trauma. Teresa shares her story of growing up in a broken home, facing severe medical challenges, and experiencing devastating loss that left her deeply angry at God. She describes how encounters with the supernatural pushed her to investigate what was real and, eventually, how the gospel began to break through through a praying teacher, Christian music, and a radio message that led her to “do business with God.” They talk about what it means to bring your questions to God, why Isaiah 1:18 (“come, let us reason together”) became an anchor, and why healing often starts when we stop hiding our past and bring it into the light. ****** PODCAST SHOW NOTES: Full episodes now out on YouTube! ➡️ Watch: Halfway to Sunday (Full Episodes) 🎧Listen onApple Spotify 🙏Join the community + bonus content (Patreon) 💌 Questions/Guest Requests ****** 🩵 ABOUT US Halfway to Sunday is a weekly faith-based podcast for people who want Jesus but still have questions, sharing honest, hope-filled stories of real faith through joy and loss, healing and growth, and even doubt.

    Psalms + Nervous System Reset w/ Dr. Angela Deulen | Ep 104

    ✝️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE In Episode 104 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with Dr. Angela Deulen to explore the connection between faith, stress, and the nervous system. If you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or “noisy on the inside,” Angela explains why spiritual habits can feel difficult when your nervous system is dysregulated and how calming your body can help you reconnect with God. She shares a powerful framework she calls the “Davidic arc,” showing how David’s Psalms often start in despair and move toward trust, helping us shift from fight-or-flight into a more regulated state where we can think clearly and renew our minds. They also talk about how gratitude supports regulation, why community matters (“borrow faith” from others), and how our view of God can impact fear-based responses. This episode is practical, hopeful, and deeply grounding. ****** PODCAST SHOW NOTES: Full episodes now out on YouTube! ➡️ Watch: Halfway to Sunday (Full Episodes) 🎧Listen onApple Spotify 🙏Join the community + bonus content (Patreon) 💌 Questions/Guest Requests ****** 🩵 ABOUT US Halfway to Sunday is a weekly faith-based podcast for people who want Jesus but still have questions, sharing honest, hope-filled stories of real faith through joy and loss, healing and growth, and even doubt.

He explains how faith, Scripture, and daily rhythms helped him keep moving forward plus why it’s okay to be honest with God when trust feels hard. Together they talk about identity in Christ over circumstances, reframing failure, and practical tools like journaling, learning from mentors, building a mission statement, and holding a vision even “in the pit.” This conversation is a steadying reminder: your challenges aren’t meant to stop you, they can become stepping stones as God redeems your story. ****** ➡️ Watch: Halfway to Sunday (Full Episodes) 🎧Listen onApple Spotify 🙏 Join the community + bonus content (Patreon) 💌 Questions/Guest Requests ****** 🩵 ABOUT US Halfway to Sunday is a weekly faith-based podcast for people who want Jesus but still have questions, sharing honest, hope-filled stories of real faith through joy and loss, healing and growth, and even doubt.

    Faith Over Fear: Trust God in Uncertain Seasons w/ Aneta Kuzma | Ep 102

    In Episode 102 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with Aneta Kuzma, author of Lanterns of Light, to talk about trusting God through fear, uncertainty, and big life transitions. Aneta shares how leaving the “false sense of security” of corporate life to step into entrepreneurship became a defining moment, when her faith became greater than her fear. She opens up about the practices that helped her stay grounded: gratitude, journaling, prayer, and surrounding herself with Scripture as daily reminders of God’s promises. They also talk about how her book is built around Bible verses she’s leaned on in hard seasons, paired with honest journal entries so readers can see the internal journey behind the outward obedience. This episode is for anyone who needs courage to take the next step and wants practical tools to keep trusting God when fear is loud. ****** ➡️ Watch: Halfway to Sunday (Full Episodes) 🎧Listen onApple Spotify 🙏Join the community + bonus content (Patreon) 💌 Questions/Guest Requests   ****** 🩵 ABOUT US Halfway to Sunday is a weekly faith-based podcast for people who want Jesus but still have questions, sharing honest, hope-filled stories of real faith through joy and loss, healing and growth, and even doubt.

    In Episode 101 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with author Kristen LaValley to talk about church hurt, spiritual perfectionism, and what it looks like to rebuild faith when it’s been tangled up with trauma. Kristen shares about her book Growing Up Saved and the “I am bad” mindset so many Christians carry, believing they must perform and become “better” to be loved by God. Together they explore the cost of spiritual perfection, the way harmful systems can distort our image of God, and the slow work of returning to the truth that we were created “very good.” They also reflect on God’s love as something we can’t fully comprehend alone, and why healing often requires community, honesty, and gentleness.

    Faith That Reaches Your Nervous System w/ Chaz Becker | Ep 99

    In Episode 99 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with Chaz Becker, founder of Storied, to explore why many believers know God loves them but still struggle to feel it. They talk about the gap between head knowledge and heart knowledge, and how spiritual formation can engage the emotional “right brain,” not just information and theology. Chaz shares how attachment patterns and nervous system responses affect our ability to receive love, and why imagination and guided practices can help move faith from concepts to lived experience. They also discuss why therapy can be a wise and important support when love has felt unsafe or wounds run deep. This episode offers language, compassion, and practical next steps for anyone who wants faith that’s not only true but deeply felt.
