GOD IN THE MIDDLE (Ecclesiastes 4:12)

from She Wrestles with God | Daily Devotional for Women · host Giselle Ugarte

For so long, I chased validation... Whether it was wanting to be chosen by the right man, accepted by the cool groups of friends, or counting followers online. I thought THOSE would make me feel complete. But, nope. In this replay episode, I’m talking about what changed when I stopped making love about being picked and started understanding what it truly means to build relationships (and friendships and teams) with God at the center. If you’re praying for a love, marriage, or friendship that feels deeper than chemistry and stronger than circumstance, this conversation is for you.

If you're feeling a pull to get closer to God while also wrestling with ambition, guilt, self-doubt, relationships, unanswered prayers, big life decisions, and a packed schedule, you're in the right place! Most episodes are only 5-15 minutes long, and my hope is that whether you listen for a few seconds or binge every word, you'll sign off feeling lighter, more joyful, more grounded, and more capable of becoming the person God made you to be.
