How to Build Your Faith Circle: Mentors, Community and Growth

This episode is for the woman who knows she can’t do this faith walk alone anymore. You’ve tried growing solo. You’ve felt the sting of isolation. Maybe you’ve even been hurt trying to build with the wrong people. But you still believe in the power of community, mentorship, and accountability—and you’re ready to try again.

In this episode, we’re talking about how to actually find the support system your soul needs. You’ll get real strategies to help you find your people, heal from church hurt, and grow with clarity and conviction in this season of your walk with God.

Whether you’re starting fresh, rebuilding after a painful experience, or just ready to stop doing life alone—this conversation is your roadmap.

Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

• The #1 mindset shift that makes finding mentors and godly friendships easier

• How to know exactly what kind of support you need right now

• Why waiting for growth to “just happen” is costing you clarity and breakthrough

• What to do when you’ve been hurt by leaders or people in the church

• How to discern where to plug in, who to trust, and how to move forward

• Encouragement to stay in the game—because the enemy is terrified of your perseverance
