384 | Seven Deadly Sins: How Pride Distorts Your Identity (and How to Reclaim It in Christ)
Comparison doesn't reveal your worth. It only distracts you from the One who gave it to you.Pride rarely announces itself with arrogance. More often, it quietly slips into our hearts through comparison, self-reliance, and the subtle belief that our value is something we have to earn or prove.In this episode, Angie opens Proverbs 16:18 to explore how pride distorts our identity, why it leads u
383 | Seven Deadly Sins: Why We Feel Stuck (and How Freedom Begins)
Christ didn't set you free just to remove your chains. He set you free so you could live differently.It's surprisingly easy to grow comfortable with the things that keep us bound.

382 | Looking Back, I Can See It Now with Natalie Hixson

381 | Small Choices, Big Direction: What Proverbs Shows Us About the Life We’re Building

380 | Talk to Your Triggers: Repeating the Rhythm of Trust
The rhythm of peace isn't found in carrying more.Anxiety has a way of convincing us that if we don't hold everything together, everything will fall apart. But God never asked us to carry what He has already promised to carry Himself.In this episode, Angie concludes the Cast Your Cares study and the Talk to Your Triggers series by exploring Isaiah 46:4. This conversation reminds us that p
379 | Talk to Your Triggers: Receiving Peace That Settles Your Soul
Peace is something we receive from Christ, not something we manufacture.When anxiety rises, our instinct is often to work harder, worry more, or search for a way to regain control.

378 | Talk to Your Triggers: Remembering God's Faithful Presence
Remembering God's faithfulness changes how we walk through fear.When anxiety shows up, it often isn't because we don't know what's true.

377 | Talk to Your Triggers: Revealing the Lie Beneath the Fear

376 | Talk to Your Triggers: Recognizing Your Inner Alarm
Recognizing anxiety begins with recognizing what’s happening underneath it.So often, our anxious reactions feel sudden and unexplained. But beneath the surface, they are often connected to fears, wounds, beliefs, or patterns we may not even realize are shaping our responses.In this episode, Angie begins the five-part "Talk to Your Triggers" framework by stepping into Psalm 139:23. This c
375 | Why Small Steps in Bible Study Still Count
Confidence in Bible study doesn’t come from mastering everything at once. It grows through small, faithful steps over time.So often, we expect ourselves to immediately understand Scripture in a way we would never expect with any other skill. When confidence doesn’t come quickly, it’s easy to feel intimidated, discouraged, or spiritually behind.In this episode, Angie steps away briefly from the Cas
374 | 3 Obstacles to Bible Study and How to Overcome Them
Most women don’t avoid Bible study because they don’t love God. Often, something just feels in the way.Fear, overwhelm, insecurity, and even the vulnerability of being known by God can quietly keep us from opening Scripture consistently. But what if Bible study was never meant to feel like a performance? What if confidence in God’s Word grows slowly?In this episode, Angie pauses the Cast Your Care
373 | Resting in God’s Love When You Feel Overwhelmed
God’s love isn’t hidden from you. It’s already been declared over your life.When life feels overwhelming, one of the first things we begin to question is whether God sees us, cares for us, or is still near.

372 | Letting Go of Control and Learning to Trust God
Peace isn’t found in gripping tighter. It’s found in learning to let go and trust God.So often, what we call responsibility or being prepared is really a quiet reliance on ourselves.In this episode, Angie continues the Cast Your Cares study by stepping into James 4:10. This conversation reminds us that humility is not weakness. It’s the deliberate choice to release self-reliance and come under God
371 | Afraid to Speak Up? How to Be Bold in Your Faith
Boldness isn’t about feeling ready. It’s about trusting God enough to move forward anyway.So often, we choose what feels comfortable over what God is prompting us to do. In reality, it may be fear quietly keeping us from obedience.In this episode, Angie continues the Cast Your Cares study by stepping into 1 Thessalonians 2:2. This conversation reminds us that boldness doesn’t come from within us,
370 | Calming Your Mind and Finding Peace in God
Peace isn’t something you have to chase; it’s something you learn to rest in.So often, when life feels uncertain, we find ourselves searching… thinking harder, praying differently, looking for signs that will finally help us settle down.In this episode, Angie continues the Cast Your Cares study by stepping into Psalm 131:2. This conversation invites us to move from frantic searching to quiet trust
369 | Will God Let Me Fall?

This conversation reminds us that God is constantly watching over us, steadying our steps, and holding us firm. What
368 | What Pressure Reveals About Our Faith
What pressure reveals doesn’t have to define you; it can remind you what’s true.When pressure rises, it has a way of exposing what we believe. Fear, accusation, and doubt can feel loud and convincing, making it seem like what we’re facing has more power than it actually does.In this episode, Angie continues the Cast Your Cares study by stepping into Revelation 12:11. This conversation reminds us t
367 | Letting Go of What You Were Never Meant to Carry
You don’t have to carry what God never asked you to hold.So often, we carry more than we realize: responsibilities, expectations, decisions, and the quiet weight of anxiety that builds over time.In this episode, Angie begins the Cast Your Cares study by slowing down in 1 Peter 5:7. This conversation invites us to see that releasing our anxiety isn’t passive; it’s an intentional act of trust. What

God’s grace meets us right in the middle of our anxiety.Anxiety is one of the most common struggles we face, and within the Christian life, it can feel especially complicated.In this episode, Angie begins a new conversation on anxiety and faith, rooted in 2 Corinthians 12:9. Through personal story and Scripture, we’re reminded that anxiety is not something we have to hide or overcome on our own; i
365 | Promises for New Seasons
When someone we love steps into a new season, sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is pray.Transitions, whether joyful or difficult, often leave us searching for the right words. In those moments, Scripture gives us a place to anchor our hearts and lift the people we love to God with confidence.In this episode, Angie shares a deeply personal moment as her son prepares to graduate from colle
364 | God Fills His People with Power: The Season of Pentecost
The Spirit fills, empowers, and guides His people.Pentecost is often remembered for dramatic images such as rushing wind, tongues of fire, and bold preaching.

Rooted in Psalm 51:10, this conversation invites us to reflect on the areas of our lives

360 | Believing in Belonging: How Imposter Syndrome Affects our Faith
Belonging is not earned, it’s given.Imposter syndrome has a quiet way of convincing us that we don’t belong, that our gifts aren’t enough, or that we’re only one step away from being exposed. It whispers that faith communities are for other people.In this episode, Angie pauses the journey through the Jewish Feasts and Christian Calendar to address the deeper question of belonging. Rooted in 1 Timo
359 | The Light That Brings Us Joy: The Season of Christmas
Joy entered the world when God came near.Christmas is more than a familiar story or a single day of celebration; it is the announcement that the long-awaited Messiah has come.

Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s promise and the turning point from waiting to rejoicing.In this episode, Angie continues the journey through the
358 | Hope for the Waiting Heart: The Season of Advent
Hope is often formed in the waiting, not the fulfillment.Advent opens the Christian year by inviting us into sacred waiting. It is a season where God’s promises feel close, yet still unfolding.

It reminds us that we live between two advents: the promise fulfilled in Christ’s b
357 | Celebrating the God Who Stays Faithful: The Feast of Tabernacles
God’s presence is found even in temporary places.So many of us assume that God’s faithfulness should feel comfortable, stable, and settled. But real life doesn’t always look that way. Seasons shift. Circumstances change. Some days feel more like wilderness than harvest. And yet, Scripture reminds us that God does not wait for permanence to show up. He dwells with us right in the middle of what’s u

355 | 3 Reasons Gathering In Person Still Matters
Gathering in person still matters.In a world where connection is easier than ever from a distance, it can be tempting to believe that showing up physically no longer holds the same weight.

But there are still moments, movements, and transformations that only happen when

349 | Why God Asks Us to Remember: The Feast of Passover
