Are you finding it tough to see the true beauty amidst the chaos? Yearning for a deeper connection to your faith and a renewed sense of purpose? Then this episode, Fields of Gold, is just the breath of fresh air you need. Join me as I open up about my personal journey, from feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and unworthiness to realizing the profound love and hope found in Jesus. Together, we'll explore how to navigate life's challenges with faith and discover the immeasurable value of wisdom over worldly pursuits.

In today's episode, I share my story of struggling to belong and the lies we often tell ourselves. From my early insecurities as a preteen to crying out to God amidst deep loneliness, you'll hear how I found solace in unexpected moments, like when “Fields of Gold” played on my Walkman and brought me a divine sense of peace. We'll delve into the importance of choosing God's wisdom over fleeting trends and how that choice transforms our lives.

Just some reasons to listen to the entire episode:

    • Discuss how to recognize and combat the lies we believe about ourselves.
    • Hear strategies for building a faith-filled, hopeful mindset.
    • reflect on the power of crying out to God and finding comfort in His love.
    • Gain practical ways to foster a positive self-image in ourselves and our children.
    • Encouragement to seek professional help and engage in spiritual disciplines.


And so much more!

As we wrap up this episode, I invite you to reflect on your own journey. Are there lies you’ve believed that have kept you from experiencing God’s truth? Let's challenge ourselves to hold onto His promises, seek His wisdom, and embrace the beautifully messy lives He’s given us.
