Do you feel stuck in the same anxious thoughts over and over again?

Have you been praying about the same fear, the same overwhelm, or the same emotional pattern and wondering if God sees you in it?

Do you feel like you know the truth in your head, but your heart and body still feel tired, tense, and afraid?

What if Jesus is not waiting for you to “get it together,” but is meeting you right in the place where you feel stuck?

Acts 3 reminds anxious moms that Jesus meets them in the places where they feel stuck and weary, His name has power, His presence brings refreshing, and He helps them take the next faithful step toward peace.

In this episode, Rachel walks through the story of the man at the temple gate who had been unable to walk since birth. He asked Peter and John for temporary help, but through the name of Jesus, God gave him something deeper: restoration, strength, and a new way to walk.

Rachel connects this passage to the places moms often feel emotionally stuck — fear of the future, anxiety spirals, overthinking, mom guilt, exhaustion, and carrying too much. Through Scripture, practical application, and encouragement, this episode reminds you that the length of your struggle does not limit the power of Jesus.

You’ll learn why the name of Jesus is not a formula, but a place of faith and authority, how repentance brings refreshing instead of shame, and why returning to God’s presence through His Word and gratitude can help steady your heart when anxiety feels loud.

If so, this episode is for you.

Do you want to trust God in anxiety and feel calm, present, and mentally at peace?

In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to trust God in anxiety when you feel fear of the unknown and lack of control. I’m sharing a personal story from my own life about the season when I left teaching to stay home with my girls, even though I had no idea how everything would work financially.

We’ll look at Ruth and Habakkuk and talk about what it means to trust God one step at a time when the future feels uncertain. I’m also sharing a simple psychology perspective on why uncertainty can feel so triggering in the mind and body, plus practical encouragement for the mom who feels overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, and unable to turn her brain off.

Highlights from this episode:

⭐️ Why fear of the unknown can trigger anxiety spirals and overthinking

⭐️ What Habakkuk teaches us about trusting God before provision is visible

Do you know God is good in your head, but still struggle to believe it in a hard season?

Have grief, motherhood anxiety, or painful circumstances ever made God feel distant, silent, or confusing?

Are you longing to trust God more deeply and find peace by understanding His true character?

When anxiety gets loud, it can distort more than your thoughts about life — it can distort your view of God. In this episode, Rachel shares a deeply personal story of losing her sister unexpectedly at 19 and how that season challenged everything she thought she knew about God’s goodness.

You’ll hear how pain, grief, fear, and anxiety can cause us to interpret God through our emotions instead of through Scripture — and why knowing the character of God is so important for Christian moms who want to walk in peace.

Rachel also unpacks several key attributes of God that bring comfort in anxious seasons, including His compassion, sovereignty, unchanging nature, holiness, and goodness. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why does God feel far?” or “How do I trust God when life hurts?” this conversation will help you renew your mind with biblical truth and remember who God really is.

If you are an anxious Christian mom who wants to grow closer to God, trust Him more in motherhood, and stop letting fear define your thoughts, this one is for you.

Do you ever feel like you’re failing as a mom after one hard moment with your child?

Are you carrying mom guilt, motherhood overwhelm, or the pressure to do everything perfectly?

Have you been stuck in shame, wondering what God says when you feel like you’re not enough as a mom?

If you’ve ever walked away from a hard parenting moment feeling embarrassed, defeated, or like you’re just not doing a good enough job, this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, we’re talking about why so many Christian moms feel like they’re failing in motherhood, how exhaustion, comparison, and unrealistic expectations fuel mom guilt, and what Scripture says when shame tries to define you.

Rachel shares a real story from traveling home with her 3-year-old on an airplane and opens up about the pressure, embarrassment, and internal spiral that so many moms know so well. You’ll be reminded that one hard moment does not define your motherhood, that condemnation is not from God, and that faithful motherhood matters more than perfect motherhood.

This episode will encourage the anxious Christian mom who feels overwhelmed, stretched thin, and weighed down by guilt to trade shame for grace, perfection for connection, and pressure for the truth of God’s Word.
