E:46: Living an “AND” Kind of Life: How to Hold Joy and Struggle at the Same Time

from Beyond Believing: Helping Christian Women Heal Post Divorce · host beyondbelieving

What if your life could be both? Healing and content. Growing and at peace. Wrestling with God and full of joy. We’re talking about the “AND” life — the powerful, biblical truth that you can hold two seemingly opposite realities at once and still walk in peace, purpose, and abundance. The enemy wants you stuck in fear, confusion, and “I don’t know” land. But Christ calls you into rest and work. Trust and action. Faith and growth. In this episode, we’ll unpack: ✨ Why your brain resists discomfort — and how to stop listening to it ✨ The subtle ways “I don’t know” thinking steals your motivation ✨ How Proverbs 31 models the balance of strength and softness, humility and confidence ✨ A mindset shift that will help you find purpose in your current season — even if it’s not what you hoped for Sis, you don’t have to wait until everything is “fixed” to live fully. You can be in your most challenging season and your most beautiful one — right now. 💬 If you’re ready to stop waiting for “someday” and start living in the fullness God has for you today, press play. If this blessed you, take 30 seconds to leave a review or share it with another woman who’s learning how to walk in her worth. 💜 Find all the details about her new Selah Healing Case Study here.

Growing up in the LDS (Mormon) religion, she always believed she had the "truth" of the gospel. All of that was radically challenged after she was encouraged to read the Bible and defend the truths she was taught to believe in. After embracing the teachings of Jesus from the Bible, her faith journey has profoundly changed her life and the facts she has come to recognize. This podcast is aimed at supporting divorced Christian women to navigate their paths with faith in God, grace, resilience, and a renewed sense of hope for the future. Coming to learn and understand relationships, love, and marriage through Bible facts and the Word of God, Katie discovered how deeply intertwined its teachings were with the tools she had learned as a LifeCoach, and she is here to teach you how to understand that the power of the Bible's teachings are more relevant and applicable to your life today than ever. With Katie, you'll learn how to understand the concepts of the Bible and how to apply them into your life with the knowledge and training I've received as a Life Coach.In each episode, we'll explore the powerful intersection of Christianity and thought work, uncovering how our beliefs and the stories we tell ourselves shape our lives, and more importantly, relationships. You'll learn practical strategies for becoming more aware of your thoughts, how they connect to Biblical teachings of Christ, and ways to align them with the life and love you know God has in store for you. #christianwoman  #daughterofgod #christiandivorce #blessed #love #godislove #lovelikegod #christlove #exmormon #ldsChrist #wisdom #trustinggod #divorcedchristian #Jesus #christ #bibleplan #bible #childrenofdivorce  #christainmoms #christianrelationships #postdivorce #faithrelationships #faithmarriage #faithdivorce #lds #empoweredwomen #exlds #faithafterdivorce #divorcedwomen #christianwomen #faithafterdivorce #womenoffaith #healingfromdivorce #christiansupport #divorcerecovery #spiritualgrowth #christiancommunity #righteousness #blendingfamilies #secondchances #biblicalcoaching #christianwomen #christianity #boundaries #selfworth
