In this week’s episode, we take a deep, healing look into 1 Peter 1:2 — and uncover how father wounds can quietly shape the way women relate to God as Father.

Whether you grew up with a loving father… an emotionally absent father… an abusive father… or no father figure at all… wounds can still form in the hidden places of the heart. Those experiences can affect how we receive love & protection, depth of peace, and even the truth that God intentionally chose us.

Together, we explore: • What it means to be “chosen” by God the Father • The deeper biblical meaning of “foreknowledge” as relational intimacy • How sanctification is both instant and ongoing • The difference between self-produced change and Holy Spirit transformation • Why striving exhausts us, but surrender heals us • How the Holy Spirit gently reveals wounds, heals triggers, and transforms us from the inside out • What it truly means to live in relationship with God — not as a distant visitor, but as His beloved daughter and bride (Don’t let that combo trip you up… it’s spiritual :) )

This episode is an invitation to stop striving for God’s love and begin resting in it.

If you’ve ever struggled to fully believe you are chosen, deeply loved, protected, pursued, or worthy of peace… this episode is for you.

So grab a cup of coffee, settle your heart, and join me as we marinate in the truth of God’s grace, healing, and presence through 1 Peter 1:2.

“God the Father chose you long ago…” — and that changes everything

Love,
