Trade a Lie for a Truth

How many times have you asked yourself: Did I do enough today? Why can’t I keep up like she does? I should’ve had more patience. More connection. More prayer.

You love your kids fiercely, but sometimes you’re running on fumes—and wondering if you’re doing much of it right or just messing up your kids. And then someone says, “Motherhood is your highest calling,” and it just adds to the doubt.

But what if that belief that “motherhood...

Every generation has wondered about the end times—but with constant headlines, global instability, wars, and the rise of AI, it feels more real than ever. Underneath the question “Is this it?” lies a deeper fear many believers quietly carry: The end times are something to fear.

In this episode, I sit down with apologist and Pastor Jason Carlson to unpack your biggest questions about Israel, prophecy, global conflict, technology, an...

Our culture these days is obsessed with identity — how we define ourselves, express ourselves, and justify our choices. But sometimes what sounds like freedom, “God made me this way," is actually a lie that keeps us from living the way He designed us... to glorify Him.

Join Heidi Lee Anderson as she sits down with Amy Davison, co-host of the  @MamaBearApologetics  Podcast, to talk about how this subtle cultural lie is a dangerous o...

Ever feel like you're living in a world you just can’t relate to anymore? Where prayer has been traded for good vibes, what’s wrong is celebrated as if it’s right, “live your truth” has replaced the truth, and “follow your heart” gets louder applause than following Jesus?

Join me as I sit down with Marian Jordan Ellis, author of the new Lifeway Women’s study Anchored, to expose the tricky lie of “I just can’t relate to this world...

Have you ever caught yourself shrinking back—unsure if your voice, gifts, or calling mattered as much as the guys around you? Maybe you’ve played small in ministry because you didn’t want to come off as too much. Or wondered if being “quiet” and “safe” was your lane because you’re a woman?

Whew. You’re not alone.

In this episode, we’re trading one of the oldest lies in the book—the idea that women are somehow less in value, voice, ...

How can we preach a gospel of peace, yet still find our bodies wracked by anxiety? On the flip side, how do we call our bodies temples of the Holy Spirit, yet regard eating, exercise, or sleep as inherently "unspiritual" activities?

Join me and my sister as we hear from Justin Whitmel Earley, best-selling author The Common Rule and Habits of a Household, challenging the comm...

When bad things come, what you prayed for didn’t happen, and God feels silent, distant, or even unfair… what do you do? Today, we’re tackling one of the hardest lies to untangle:

“God isn’t faithful, trustworthy, or good when ‘bad’ things happen to us.”

Join me as I chat with best-selling author Gabrielle Meyer, creator of the beloved Timeless se...

Ever felt like deep Bible study is only for pastors, church leaders, Christian influencers, or scholars full of commentaries and Hebrew concordances? I mean, they have degrees in that stuff. They’re trained in theology. They just GET the Bible in a way ordinary Christians don’t. But... me? I’m just normal. I love Jesus and I believe the Bible is God’s very Word that I respect and honor, but I didn’t go to seminary, I’m not bilingua...

Ever been told to “look within” to discover who you really are? Maybe it came in the form of self-help advice, motivational quotes, or even well-meaning encouragement. But here’s the problem: when we look inward for identity, we buy into the very lie keeping us lost.

On this episode of Trade a Lie for a Truth, join Heidi Lee Anderson and Alena Pitts Franklin (actress, vocalist, and author of the devotional God Is) to uncover togeth...

Ever picked up the Bible and thought, “Agh, this is so dry”? You try to read, but the words don’t seem to connect, some parts are confusing, and discouragement creeps in. Why (and how) does it come alive for others? You’re not alone.

Join this conversation with Gretchen Saffles, founder of Well-Watered Women, as we tackle this lie that “the Bible is dry.” We’ll talk about th...

You know those warnings that go off in our mind?

• “You better prepare for the worst.”
• “You can’t trust people — you’ve been hurt before.”
• “God might not come through this time.”
• “Play it safe. Don’t risk it.”

It sounds like wisdom. It feels like caution. But underneath, it’s fear. And fear is not the fruit of a good counselor — it’s the evidence of a liar.

Have you ever believed the lie that it’s too late? Too late to change careers, too late to repair a relationship, too late to step into your calling, or too late even to return to God? The enemy loves to whisper, “You’ve missed your chance. The door is closed. The opportunity wasted. It’s all downhill from here. Your story is over.”

Good news: the Word of God tells us something very different.

Marriage is supposed to make us happy, right? I mean, that's what we've been sold: the perfect spouse, the fairytale wedding, the happily ever after. It sounds good, right? But what happens when life doesn't follow the script? When your spouse disappoints you, says things that kind of make you mad, or just doesn't complete you like rom-coms promise?
