Faith in the Wild Podcast

In this episode, Angelica and Nicole reflect on a chaotic-feeling week and discuss how the desire to control chaos can intensify stress, while peace can be found through presence, small steps, and trusting God’s plan. They explore questions about identifying with struggle, the safety response behind control, ego attachment, and whether peace is being chased through achievement rather than God’s call. They emphasize discernment, prayer, and timing aligned with God’s will, sharing a business launch example and the quote, “What you repeat in peace will be your reflex under pressure,” alongside Romans 5:1. They describe peace as a status—wholeness and restored relationship—rather than a feeling, and talk about shifting from intellectual knowing to heart-level knowing. They end by challenging listeners to invite God’s peace into their space through morning stillness and continued breath and presence throughout the day.00:00 Morning Chat00:56 Peace In Retrograde02:11 Control And Chaos05:15 Safety Stress Response07:08 Achievement Or Calling07:59 Discernment In Action11:00 Reflex Under Pressure13:41 Romans Five Peace15:23 Peace As Status16:56 Practicing Peace Daily17:21 Refined Under Pressure18:25 Peace Inside Chaos19:22 Where Do You Go First22:48 Choosing God Over Control26:48 Head Knowing vs Heart Knowing28:27 Invite Peace This Week29:57 Start the Day in Peace32:41 Stillness Before the Phone35:03 Closing Blessing|| JOIN THE COMMUNITY ||> Subscribe and Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and YouTube> Purchase our “Faith Over Fear 11-week Devotional & Reflection Guide” on Amazon> Follow our journey on Instagram: ⁠@FaithInTheWildPodcast⁠> Visit our website: ⁠FaithInTheWildPodcast.com⁠|| ABOUT FAITH IN THE WILD PODCAST ||> Hosted by: ⁠Nicole Moran⁠ and ⁠Angelica McCarthy⁠> Music: “⁠Dialed In” by Afro Bop Alliance Big Band⁠ (comp. ⁠Luis Hernandez⁠, arr.

In this episode, hosts Nicole and Angelica discuss “patience” and “pause” as antidotes to discontent, restlessness, and anxiety, within their season theme of the call to action: Faith in Action. Angelica shares how her busyness often masks discontent and how pausing helps her discern God’s direction, using breath and prayer to ground herself during anxious, restless moments. Nicole relates through a parenting story about banana bread batter chaos, choosing to pause rather than react, and emphasizes that people are watching how we respond. They explore how different practices work for different people, the importance of self-awareness and somatic tools, surrendering control, and trusting God’s timing in unpredictable seasons, while showing up authentically at home and in community.00:00 Welcome and Pause Theme01:57 Busy Life vs Stillness04:46 Anxiety to Breath Practice06:04 Trusting God's Timing09:08 Banana Bread Chaos Lesson11:02 Choosing Pause as Example13:08 How She Learned to Ground17:41 Takeaways Find What Works20:16 Embrace Daily Shifts21:09 When Practices Trigger21:49 Pause With God22:18 Seasonal Restlessness24:28 Surrender Control25:45 Purpose Over Timelines27:31 Community And Armor31:46 Leading At Home First34:53 Masks Versus Essence36:18 Weekly Reflection Sendoff|| JOIN THE COMMUNITY ||> Subscribe and Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and YouTube> Purchase our “Faith Over Fear 11-week Devotional & Reflection Guide” on Amazon> Follow our journey on Instagram: ⁠@FaithInTheWildPodcast⁠> Visit our website: ⁠FaithInTheWildPodcast.com⁠|| ABOUT FAITH IN THE WILD PODCAST ||> Hosted by: ⁠Nicole Moran⁠ and ⁠Angelica McCarthy⁠> Music: “⁠Dialed In” by Afro Bop Alliance Big Band⁠ (comp. ⁠Luis Hernandez⁠, arr.

In this episode, Angelica and Nicole discuss consistency as the ability to keep showing up through uncertainty, doubts, and distractions, emphasizing that consistency is driven more by “why” than “how.” They reflect on feeling stuck in their heads, the need for rest, stillness, and surrender, and how immediacy culture fuels pressure for quick outcomes. They explore faithfulness plus consistency over time as a path to lasting impact, share examples from starting a new business, and talk about doubt as an alarm that can prompt reflection. Both name vulnerability and “enoughness” fears as obstacles, and Nicole highlights time, load, and small habits—like limiting snoozes or waking earlier—as practical starting points. They encourage staying close to God’s word and supportive community, and invite listeners to reflect and share their own consistencies.00:00 Monday Morning Check In01:15 Why Consistency Matters02:56 Stuck In Your Head03:32 Rest, Stillness, and Surrender04:23 Consistency Is Your Why06:07 Achievement Versus Identity09:24 Immediacy And The Long Game11:51 Building With Faith Over Time15:32 Willpower Versus God's Power17:25 Doubt And Staying Open Handed18:57 Consistency Is A Practice19:42 Purpose Over Comparison20:29 Graceful Vulnerability21:41 Doubt As Alarm22:59 Therapy Deep Enoughness24:54 No Blueprint For Purpose26:29 Bringing Experts Together30:07 Overload And Time33:13 Small Habits Ripple38:37 Rooted In God39:49 Ebook And Farewell|| JOIN THE COMMUNITY ||> Subscribe and Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and YouTube> Purchase our “Faith Over Fear 11-week Devotional & Reflection Guide” on Amazon> Follow our journey on Instagram: ⁠@FaithInTheWildPodcast⁠> Visit our website: ⁠FaithInTheWildPodcast.com⁠|| ABOUT FAITH IN THE WILD PODCAST ||> Hosted by: ⁠Nicole Moran⁠ and ⁠Angelica McCarthy⁠> Music: “⁠Dialed In” by Afro Bop Alliance Big Band⁠ (comp. ⁠Luis Hernandez⁠, arr.

Hosts Angelica and Nicole open with a casual check-in, then dive into their weekly theme, “Courage over Insecurity,” as part of their larger focus on “Faith over Fear” and Faith in Action. They discuss how insecurity often shows up as persistent internal questioning and “noise,” and how courage can look like taking small steps, staying curious, and seeking God rather than getting stuck. Referencing Brené Brown (The Gifts of Imperfection), Angelica shares that courage comes from the Latin “cor” (heart) and is rooted in vulnerability and honesty, not heroic intensity. Nicole connects courage to resilient faith and grounding in God’s truth, including navigating financial insecurity and control. They emphasize identifying insecurities, surrendering them, and recognizing that courage also includes saying no, resting, and choosing alignment over short-term gain.00:00 Warm Welcome Banter01:34 Mom Life Update02:27 Theme Courage Over Insecurity03:04 Insecurity As Background Noise04:34 Small Steps Into Action06:44 What Courage Really Means09:34 Resilient Faith And Truth13:03 Naming Financial Insecurity17:42 Enoughness And Worthiness20:30 Trading Questions on Insecurity21:03 Money Fears and Family Pressure22:01 Control vs Trusting God24:24 Stepping Over Insecurity26:10 Armor of Faith and Resilience27:08 Insecurity as an Alarm28:59 Courage to Say No31:40 Real Time Temptation and Identity34:09 Let Courage Be Stronger34:50 Weekly Challenge and Closing|| JOIN THE COMMUNITY ||> Subscribe and Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and YouTube> Purchase our “Faith Over Fear 11-week Devotional & Reflection Guide” on Amazon> Follow our journey on Instagram: ⁠@FaithInTheWildPodcast⁠> Visit our website: ⁠FaithInTheWildPodcast.com⁠|| ABOUT FAITH IN THE WILD PODCAST ||> Hosted by: ⁠Nicole Moran⁠ and ⁠Angelica McCarthy⁠> Music: “⁠Dialed In” by Afro Bop Alliance Big Band⁠ (comp. ⁠Luis Hernandez⁠, arr.

In this episode of the “Faith in the Wild” Podcast, Nicole and Angelica continue their season theme of faith in action and faith over fear by exploring “Purpose over Distractions.” They define purpose as an embodied, heart-and-soul anchoring in God’s calling rather than just the work you do, and describe distractions as internal and external “noise” that pulls you off course. They discuss practices like the “seven whys” to get to the root of intention, daily surrender of control and timelines, and noticing when self-judgment, overwhelm, or phone habits derail focus. Nicole shares her purpose-driven business, Live With Purpose Consulting, supporting aging-in-place solutions through home safety assessments and community education. In contrast, Angelica shares her purpose of love expressed through healing artists and communities via music and wellness through Angelface Records.00:00 Sunny Greetings01:18 Season Theme Setup02:52 Defining Purpose07:01 Seven Whys Method10:37 Anchored Calling16:25 Self-Made Distractions18:32 Nicole Weekend Spiral25:00 Surrender Daily Practice26:54 Live With Purpose Intro27:37 Aging in Place Mission28:25 Home Assessments and Education29:33 Purpose at Every Stage30:38 Where to Find Nicole32:39 Angelica Purpose and Healing Arts37:55 Angel Face Records and Projects39:15 God Timeline and Patience43:51 Navigating Distractions49:25 Seven Whys Exercise52:20 Be Curious Closing|| JOIN THE COMMUNITY ||> Subscribe and Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and YouTube> Purchase our “Faith Over Fear 11-week Devotional & Reflection Guide” on Amazon> Follow our journey on Instagram: ⁠@FaithInTheWildPodcast⁠> Visit our website: ⁠FaithInTheWildPodcast.com⁠|| ABOUT FAITH IN THE WILD PODCAST ||> Hosted by: ⁠Nicole Moran⁠ and ⁠Angelica McCarthy⁠> Music: “⁠Dialed In” by Afro Bop Alliance Big Band⁠ (comp. ⁠Luis Hernandez⁠, arr.

In this episode of “Faith in the Wild,” Angelica and Nicole continue their Faith in Action theme after last week’s “Faith Over Fear,” focusing on “Truth over Illusion.” They define truth as reality revealed by God and illusion as deceptive, misleading false beliefs, discussing both external illusions (culture, social media, comparison) and internal ones (self-doubt, reactive emotions, and the “lies” we tell ourselves). Nicole shares how discouragement and fear surface while starting a new business, and how surrender, prayer, Scripture, and staying intentional help her keep moving forward. They emphasize discernment through pausing, reducing “noise,” practicing grace and self-care, and speaking truth over yourself. Nicole and Angelica invite listeners to identify a personal falsehood and replace it with God’s truth using the Bible or the Bible app.00:00 Welcome Back01:16 Theme Truth Over Illusion04:10 Defining Truth And Illusion06:20 Internal Versus External Illusions09:07 Instagram Versus Reality11:30 Entrepreneur Doubt And Surrender19:30 Truth Is God Alone21:56 Daily Practices And Social Noise23:47 Discernment In Practice25:36 Pause Before Reacting27:05 Faith Over Fear Training28:29 Building Business On Truth32:50 Noise Distractions And Focus35:52 Music And Holy Spirit37:06 Grace Self-Care Alignment39:30 Speak Truth Over Yourself40:44 Listener Challenge Name Falsehoods41:42 Bible App And Next Episode43:46 Closing Blessing And Farewell|| JOIN THE COMMUNITY ||> Subscribe and Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and YouTube> Purchase our “Faith Over Fear 11-week Devotional & Reflection Guide” on Amazon> Follow our journey on Instagram: ⁠@FaithInTheWildPodcast⁠> Visit our website: ⁠FaithInTheWildPodcast.com⁠|| ABOUT FAITH IN THE WILD PODCAST ||> Hosted by: ⁠Nicole Moran⁠ and ⁠Angelica McCarthy⁠> Music: “⁠Dialed In” by Afro Bop Alliance Big Band⁠ (comp. ⁠Luis Hernandez⁠, arr.

Nicole reflects on fear tied to control and safety, especially in marriage and parenting, and Angelica explores fear as inaction and the need for openness and receiving.
