In this tender and truth-filled episode, Maria and Meghan pull back the curtain on one of the most damaging lies they’ve seen women carry: the belief that you're still single because you're not “doing it right” spiritually.
Maybe you’ve heard it—or felt it too: if you just prayed harder, were holier, or checked the right boxes off, God would have answered your desire for marriage by now.
Together, they name this lie for what it is: not from the heart of God.
This conversation gently but boldly calls out the pressure many women feel to be perfect—before God, in dating, and in life. It’s an invitation into something deeper and freer: imperfection, honesty, and radical surrender to the Lord as you are right now.
Through stories, scripture, and deep personal reflection, Meghan and Maria walk with you through:
- The shame of “not doing it right” in your spiritual life
- The difference between surrender and giving up
- The grief of unmet desires—and what to do with it
- Why honesty is often the doorway to deeper intimacy with God
- Practical ways to notice where you feel unsafe with the Father
- How to crack the door of your heart—just a little—for grace to enter
Whether you’re in a season of disappointment, wrestling with your story, or simply needing a reminder that you’re not alone—this episode is for you.
