  • S2E7 Why We Push Away What We Pray For
    Feb 17 2026
    In this episode, the discussion revolves around the concept of praying for blessings but struggling to receive them when they arrive. Termed 'resistance to blessing,' this phenomenon is explored through Biblical examples and personal anecdotes. Angela explains how unhealed memories and survival instincts create barriers to receiving good things, even those prayed for. By recognizing and rewriting relational scripts, practicing receiving in safe environments, and building supportive communities, you can learn to trust and receive God's blessings without fear. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own resistance to blessings and join the private podcast series for deeper exploration. 00:00 Introduction: Wrestling with Prayer 00:49 Resistance to Blessing: A Spiritual Battle 01:36 Biblical Examples of Resistance 03:18 Understanding the Reflex of Resistance 03:55 Physiological Roots of Resistance 05:27 The Tension Between Spirit and Body 08:47 Personal Story: Learning to Receive Love 11:07 Steps to Practice Receiving 14:48 Building a Community of Healthy Receiving 17:06 Reflection and Invitation 18:19 Conclusion: Living a Beloved Life

  • S2E6 Living What You Say You Believe: When Faith Is Still Settling
    Feb 10 2026

    What happens when the truths you agree with in your heart haven’t fully taken shape in the way you move through everyday life yet?

    In this episode, Lisa explores the quiet tension many faithful women live with—the space between the truths we affirm and the rhythms we actually live from. It’s a tension that doesn’t mean something is wrong with your faith, but often signals that faith is still settling, deepening, and becoming embodied in real time.

    Drawing from her own journey, Lisa reflects on how understanding of God matures over time—through Scripture, tradition, lived experience, and the ongoing guidance of Holy Spirit—and how growth often happens not by striving to live better, but by noticing where alignment has not yet fully taken root.

    This conversation gently reframes the gap many women feel, not as failure or hypocrisy, but as the honest middle place where belief is still forming—where faith is moving from agreement into lived trust.

    What You’ll Hear in This Episode
    • Why agreeing with truth doesn’t always mean it has fully settled into daily life yet

    • How faith matures as our whole being learns to trust what our spirit longs for

    • The difference between wanting to live from truth and having the capacity to do so

    • Why tension often points to growth rather than resistance

    • How everyday moments become the place where belief quietly takes shape

    Gentle Invitation

    This week, choose one ordinary moment—a walk, a pause, a quiet cup of coffee—and notice how you respond when you slow down. Not to correct yourself or try harder, but simply to observe where trust feels natural and where it still feels tender.

    Often, belief takes root not through effort, but through awareness.

    If you’re longing to walk this journey alongside others, our Kingdom Identity Network is a space for women who are learning how faith becomes lived over time, not performed. And for those sensing a desire for deeper support, our VIP Level offers more intimate space for prayerful conversation and guidance as these layers continue to unfold.

    Looking Ahead

    Next week, Angela takes us deeper into this conversation by exploring why we sometimes pull back from the very things we’ve prayed for, and how fear of disappointment can quietly shape our ability to receive what God brings near.

  • S2E5 When You Don't Feel Qualified (But God Calls You Anyway)
    Feb 3 2026

    God doesn’t wait for perfection to call you—He perfects you through the calling.

    Angela shares what it looked like to lead, mother, and build while still healing, teaching how God uses hidden seasons to refine identity, stretch faith, and train leaders to carry His heart.
