You Won't Grow Spiritually Unless You Grow Emotionally - Ep 127
I'd love to hear from you! Text meEmotional maturity is key to your spiritual growth. That’s why I start with the heart and the skills for emotional maturity when pursuing spiritual growth. It takes emotional maturity to carry out the spiritual instruction in the Bible.For example, when you read a passage like James 1:19, 20 about being slow to anger you might think or have been told that you need to be more spiritual to do that. You don’t need to be more spiritual you need to be emotionally mature.Understand this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Let everyone be quick to hear [be a careful, thoughtful listener], slow to speak [a speaker of carefully chosen words and], slow to anger [patient, reflective, forgiving]; for the [resentful, deep-seated] anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God [that standard of behavior which He requires from us]. James 1:19,20 Amplified BibleBeing a careful listener when someone is confronting you or questioning a decision takes emotional maturity to listen without taking anything personally or without defending yourself. You need emotional maturity to listen and form a response rather than reacting to what is said.It also takes emotional maturity to see when you feel like reacting so you can bring that place in you that wants to react to the Lord for healing or correction.Seeing something from someone else’s point of view requires emotional maturity."Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn" (Romans 12:15)"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you" (Ephesians 4:32).It requires emotional maturity to not need people to understand you or to not need people to be like you, to be able to love them. To not take it personally if they don't understand what you're saying. To be able to be curious and be able to stay in conversations until there can be understanding of why they think the way they do, to see whether that's because they haven't been in the kingdom very long or because they've been taught wrong or life experiences or whatever it is.Being able to have those conversations and sit with disagreements and differences requires emotional maturity as well as spiritual maturity.It also takes emotional maturity to understand when you're feeling your own emotions versus someone else's or when you're trying to manage something for someone else versus being mature and responsible for yourself.It takes that emotional maturity to let someone around you be sad or be angry to feel however they feel instead of needing them to feel a certain way for you to be okay.It takes emotional maturity to see what's yours and what someone else's. If you're feeling sad or overwhelmed or scared or whatever, having the emotional maturity to practice discernment to see is this mine? Is this current, or is it feeling what someone else is feeling? Is it a spirit? Is it something from the past? Having that emotional maturity then allows you to ask the Lord for spiritual insight of why you are responding the way you are.I talk about all this in more depth in this week’s podcast.00:00 Why Emotions Matter00:38 Slow to Anger Skills02:15 Empathy in Romans 1202:53 Compassionate Perspective03:51 Safe Conversations05:15 Discern Your Emotions07:38 Faith Culture and Feelings09:13 Childhood Roles Reversed11:52 Unlearning Neglect Messages14:46 Grace for Your Parents1I'd love to connect with you!Find community in Healing Generations Learn how God communicates with you in Transformational Quiet Times

Boundaries About What You Will Do - Ep 126
I'd love to hear from you! Text meBoundaries aren’t impatience. They don’t mean you are not being loving.Boundaries are about what you will do, not getting someone else to do what you want them to do. If you’re like me the idea of boundaries sounds freeing and empowering - right up to the point you try to put them in place. It took me years to understand how to state what I needed and what I was going to do rather than trying to control the outcome of someone else’s choices. If you grew up without healthy boundaries it can be tricky to change your thinking and put them into practice.You’re right, though. They are empowering and create freedom. It is worth figuring out how to use them properly.To see how boundaries do and do not come into this situation listen to today’s episode.Podcast Chapters00:00 Boundaries Defined00:14 Facebook Post Example01:28 Contract vs Ultimatum02:43 Gods Loving Boundaries03:59 Learning Healthy Boundaries05:06 Scissors Stewardship Lesson06:55 Car Borrowing Boundary09:50 Freedom Fear and Control11:39 Access Points and Limits13:09 Self Worth and Creator14:18 Invitation and Closing I'd love to connect with you!Find community in Healing Generations Learn how God communicates with you in Transformational Quiet Times

What If Your Overreaction Is Old Pain Talking? Ep 125
I'd love to hear from you! Text meYou know the times you look back and wonder why your reaction to an event was over the top. This happens when the current event reminds you of a past event or events that felt the same way. The emotions from the past have not felt heard, the needs have not been met. When something happens that feels the same the old emotions try again to be heard and so you are overreacting.It creates a shame strom. Shame storms are not fun.

Move Into Your Promise Land: Don't Settle for Manna - Ep 124
I'd love to hear from you! Text meAre You Settling for Manna? Leaving the Wilderness for Your Promised LandI want to share a challenge with you. Are “settling for manna” by staying in the comfort of the wilderness instead of moving into the Promised Land?The Promise Land includes battles, giants, and the work of taking territory. I have personal seasons of deliverance followed by temptation to camp in comfort rather than fight the remaining battles with the Lord’s strength. I want to keep a Joshua-and-Caleb mindset of faith and forward movement. A key thing for moving into the Promise land is a supportive community to help establish God’s rule in your mind and soul, resist doubt and confusion, and take ground for future generations.00:00 Are You Settling01:17 Promised Land Reality03:00 From Slavery to Manna05:27 Spies and Giants09:55 Wilderness Comfort Trap11:32 Offense and Authority12:37 Caleb Mindset Shift15:27 Community and Inner Territory18:04 Generational Freedom19:01 Invitation and Next StepsI'd love to connect with you!Find community in Healing Generations Learn how God communicates with you in Transformational Quiet Times

Why Your “Should List” Feels Heavy (and 3 Things to Do Instead) Ep 123
I'd love to hear from you! Text meSchedule your complimentary 1:1Having a "should list" feels terrible, and it’s ineffectiveI printed my should list and processed it with the Lord. That looked like asking Him questions and seeing what He highlighted to me - if you care to watch, here’s a link to the unedited video of me processing live.In the process, I saw that more than half of the items contained "more" or "better" and carried condemnation. Yuck!When I saw how much condemnation there was, I decided to do a Heart Doodle with Jesus, asking, “If I put the way I feel in a picture, what would that look like?” The picture was trying to hit an archery target that was too far away and moving.God gently spoke, “Undefined is not kind.”The actions the Lord told me to take out of this process were:Count my steps - every movement in the right direction counts and deserves to be noticed.Evaluate each “should”. Is it a real need or a want? Can you trash it?If it is a need or want, define what it looks like and the steps to complete it.God doesn’t have a “should list”, only invitations to trust and experience Him.00:00 Why Should Lists Hurt00:15 30 Shoulds and Shame01:59 Heart Doodling Process03:14 Do More Do Better Trap04:45 Archery Target Metaphor06:32 God Has Invitations07:14 Sorting the 30 Items09:41 Three Steps Forward11:30 Define Needs and Wants13:03 Next Steps and SupportI'd love to connect with you!Find community in Healing Generations Learn how God communicates with you in Transformational Quiet Times

Did God Really Say? Why Do I Doubt? EP 121
I'd love to hear from you! Text me Did God really say? The devil has been asking that same question for all of human history. Did God really say whatever you feel like you heard him say, this is the ultimate battle to hear God and hold tightly to what he said. Eve saw fruit in the garden and it looked good to eat. And then she forgot exactly what God had said and made the wrong choice.When the serpent came and said, did God really say what Eve quoted back to him wasn't exactly what God said, it was enough off that the enemy was able to convince her to eat the fruit and make the wrong choice. And unfortunately, I do the same thing. If we haven't met yet, I am Mukkove Johnson and I teach Christian women to hear God's voice, to discern what he's saying and to heal the parts that don't always agree with him, and live the abundant life that Jesus called you to.00:00 Did God Really Say00:57 Meet the Creator01:39 Why We Doubt02:18 Ministry Story Lesson03:02 Refocus on God Said04:00 Build a Battle Plan04:21 Workshop Invitation04:38 Next Steps and WrapI'd love to connect with you!Find community in Healing Generations Learn how God communicates with you in Transformational Quiet Times

Do You Need A Battle Plan?
I'd love to hear from you! Text me Are you in a season where it feels like you need a battle plan? I know I have been and have been trying to figure out a practical way to keep it in front of me because I feel like the Lord gives me plans. I ask him for plans. He's faithful to give me that direction, and then life keeps lifeing and I forget.So if you're like me, I hope the thoughts I share today will be helpful. If we haven't met before, I'm mko. I have a heart to see the body of Christ living in health and wholeness and maturity. And I'm sharing the things that I am learning on my journey to all of those things in hopes that they will encourage you and show you practically what it looks like to walk that out step by step.The first step is seeking the Lord to clearly define the battle.Second is the battle plan. God’s strategies are not formulas but require listening, carrying His presence, and trusting Him for specific direction. That could include gratitude, worship, Scripture, prayer support, and specific obedience, cutting distractions, doubt, and double-mindedness while adding discipline and discernment. Third, refocus through reminders, or support as often as you need it.00:00 Need a Battle Plan02:30 Define the Real Battle03:11 Old Testament Strategies06:08 Ask God for Tactics07:15 Heart Doodling Workshop08:17 Cut Distraction and Doubt10:40 Discipline and Discernment12:55 Remember and Refocus14:24 Victory and Territory16:03 Little by Little Growth18:41 Get Support and Next StepsI'd love to connect with you!Find community in Healing Generations Learn how God communicates with you in Transformational Quiet Times

Embrace Your Mess, Find Your Message: Separating Identity from Behavior - Ep 119
I'd love to hear from you! Text meMess to Majesty: Let God Love You In Your Mess by Mukkove Johnson, available on Amazon.Embrace Your Mess, Find Your Message: Separating Identity from BehaviorBreak the shame cycle by refusing to hide your messes and instead practice the courage cycle of repeatedly facing fear, pain, and grief. “Embracing your mess” means being honest about what’s wrong without making it your identity, recognizing that messes can be cleaned up. Embracing the mess allows you to separate your behavior from your identity. Jesus loves you despite your sin and turns healing into a message that can encourage others. Doing harmful things is not the same as being defined by them.00:00 Shame to Courage00:42 Embrace Your Mess01:22 Why It Matters02:49 Personal Anger Story03:46 Jesus Sees Our Worth04:37 You Are Not Alone05:16 Testimony Brings Healing06:03 Closing InvitationI'd love to connect with you!Find community in Healing Generations Learn how God communicates with you in Transformational Quiet Times

EIght Seconds: Courage Requires Feeling Fear
I'd love to hear from you! Text meMess to Majesty: Let God Love You In Your Mess by Mukkove Johnson, available on Amazon.You may think being brave or courageous means never feeling fear.The opposite is true. If you didn't feel afraid, no courage would be needed.You also might think that once you've been brave, that's it. You've won.Also not true. You feel afraid. You use your courage to move ahead and overcome. You see the victory, and then fear comes again. Courage is needed again.In my Mess To Majesty Coaching, I call this the Courage Cycle.

Breaking The Shame Cycle With The Woman At The Well
I'd love to hear from you! Text meMess To Majesty: Let God Love You In Your Mess book on AmazonBreaking the Shame Cycle: Jesus, the Woman at the Well, and Living Free (Christian Women 35–55)This episode explains how shame pushes people away and keeps us stuck in a repeating “shame cycle,” and clarifies the difference between shame (believing we are bad or not enough) and guilt (recognizing we did something bad and can make it right). Using the woman at the well, it shows how Jesus brings hidden pain into the light without shaming her, separating her value from her choices and offering living water, hope, and truth that transforms. The lesson encourages silencing shame by bringing its messages into the light through vulnerability with safe people and first with Father God, using James 5:15–16 to show confession and prayer lead to forgiveness and healing. It also addresses shame culture, urges self-compassion, and teaches noticing emotions without filtering them, separating feelings and choices from identity.00:00 Shame Pushes People Away00:41 What Shame Really Is01:49 The Shame Cycle Explained02:39 Woman at the Well04:01 Jesus Breaks Shame05:57 Bring Shame to Light06:31 Confession and Healing07:36 Safe People and God10:06 Don’t Filter Emotions11:44 Shame Culture and Identity13:16 Personal Week Examples14:14 Uprooting Hidden MessagesI'd love to connect with you!Find community in Healing Generations Learn how God communicates with you in Transformational Quiet Times

Helping Kids Understand Consideration vs. Selfishness
I'd love to hear from you! Text meHow to Teach Kids Consideration: Modeling, Object Lessons, and StoriesThe host answers a listener's question about teaching children to be considerate rather than selfish. They explain that the most powerful teaching method is modeling, including clarifying the difference between parental authority and selfishness and, when appropriate, repenting and asking children for forgiveness. The episode suggests practical tools such as object lessons (e.g., giving kids a candy bag filled with rocks to help them identify how selfishness feels), naming and highlighting considerate vs. selfish behavior to build vocabulary, and checking that children understand expectations (illustrated by an R.C. Sproul story about children not knowing what “stoop” meant). The host recommends using stories—books, podcasts, movies, and the resource Tales of Virtue—to discuss examples of character traits, noting that stories and parables help lessons stick. The episode also mentions podcast fan mail, the host’s book "Mess to Majesty: Let God Love You in Your Mess" on Amazon with free journaling resources, and an email list for updates on a future group coaching program connected to the Mess to Majesty transformation.00:00 Listener Question: Teaching Kids Consideration Over Selfishness00:08 How to Submit Questions + Fan Mail Notes00:35 Quick Update: 'Mess to Majesty' Book & Free Resources01:10 Start of Today’s Answer: Model Consideration at Home01:55 Talk Through Authority vs. Selfishness (and Apologize When Needed)02:24 Object Lesson Idea: The Candy Bag Swap to Build Empathy04:07 Name It to Train It: Vocabulary, Spotting Selfishness in Real Time04:36 RC Sproul ‘Stoop’ Story: Kids Can Misunderstand Expectations05:37 Use Stories & Media to Teach Character (Books, Odyssey, Tales of Virtue)06:33 Wrap-Up: Why Stories Stick (Jesus’ Parables)I'd love to connect with you!Find community in Healing Generations Learn how God communicates with you in Transformational Quiet Times

How Simple Doodles Can Heal Wounds And Clarify God’s Truth
I'd love to hear from you! Text meThe Power of Doodling with Jesus Workshop (Heart Doodling for Emotions, Boundaries & Renewing Your Mind)Mukkove introduces the Power of Doodling Workshop and explains, with a disclaimer that she is not professionally trained to diagnose or treat, how “doodling with Jesus” can create space to stop overthinking, feel emotions, listen to the Lord, and evaluate thoughts and feelings. She shares how small creative choices (like adding color or using permanent marker) can teach boundaries, freedom, and peace, and describes doodling as a tool for renewing the mind, breaking agreement with perfectionism and performance, separating identity and worth from behavior, and accepting mistakes as part of learning. She discusses heart wounds that can lead to false beliefs about self and God, and how creativity and sitting with emotions can help uncover roots, invite Holy Spirit’s comfort, and bring wisdom and healing. Mukkove demonstrates a simple first doodle: drawing a basic version of yourself inside a box boundary, choosing a current emotion (she chooses gratitude), journaling prompts (“What do I feel? What am I thinking? What is the message?”), and then painting/adding color to create more space for clarity and revelation; she suggests adding words, scriptures, and visuals, signing and dating pages, and using doodles to sort thoughts, compare/contrast ideas, dream with God, and practice new emotions like confidence. She lists basic supplies (marker, sketchbook, watercolor/paintbrushes) and guidelines (keep it simple, accept mistakes, don’t fix, don’t push for results, be curious and compassionate, avoid judgment/comparison/shaming). She shares personal examples (gratitude for Alaska’s mountains, exploring the phrase “I don’t deserve the life I have” in a healthier gratitude-based way) and closes with background on her love for Jesus, her family, her books (Christmases about Jesus, an Easter book, and Messed Majesty about childhood emotional neglect), her certification training in childhood emotional neglect recovery, and her hope that heart doodling will be transformational for viewers, including moms doing it with their kids.00:00 Welcome + Workshop Disclaimer (Not Professional Advice)00:43 Why Doodle With Jesus?

Discerning Thoughts, Emotions, And God’s Voice
I'd love to hear from you! Text mePDF of the process: subscribepage.io/uiC8pxWhat if the pain you’ve been trying to bury is actually pointing you toward peace? We open up a simple, compassionate framework for turning chaos into clarity by writing down your thoughts, mapping emotions, and learning to recognize the tone of God’s voice versus the sting of accusation. Instead of forcing change or chasing formulas, we slow down and build a practical toolkit you can return to anytime life feels loud.We start by getting everything on paper—no judgment, just awareness. Then we highlight emotions, separate “I” statements from “you” statements, and link feelings to the thoughts they follow. That one-page snapshot uncovers where shame clings, where fear leads, and where an inner critic has been running the show. From there, we move into the cleanup toolkit: hearing God for specific guidance, choosing curiosity over self-judgment, practicing real forgiveness that releases debt without excusing harm, and engaging in specific repentance that realigns beliefs and behavior with truth.We also explore how hidden agreements and lifelong vows—like “I’ll handle it myself” or “I’ll never be like them”—quietly power anxiety and perfectionism. Learn how to break those agreements, invite discernment that doesn’t re-traumatize, and set a healthy pace that respects your capacity. We talk about when to seek help, why safe community accelerates healing, and how to receive a word, picture, or promise from God that replaces lies with lasting peace.If you’re longing to quiet intrusive thoughts, grow in spiritual discernment, and experience God’s kindness in the places that hurt, this guide is for you.

Hearing God In Everyday Life
I'd love to hear from you! Text meThe most impactful, practical way to live in peace in the midst of life's storms is learning to hear what God is communicating to me. I have always loved and read the Bible. The change in how I felt about myself didn’t happen. The truth didn’t stick.When I was introduced to the idea that God wanted to talk to me now, not just from the Bible. I was intrigued and even desperate. I sat down my small children on my bed and told them we were going to ask God to show us something or tell us something. We did, and He did.Being able to have conversations with God changes everything - not always as fast as I would like or in the way I would like, but it does.This week, I’m sharing practical tips on how to have conversations with God. Jesus said in John 10:27 that His sheep listen to His voice. You can learn to do that. If you already have regular conversations with God, I would love to hear your story of how you learned to do that.If you want to start practicing, you can purchase Transformational Quiet Times, a course that covers the teaching I gave today, plus 3 lessons of guided practice videos.

How To Untangle Worth From Behavior And Heal Emotional Habits #109
I'd love to hear from you! Text meFailing at something is different than being a failure. You feel like a failure because you weren’t given the skills and tools you needed to feel like anything else. That’s why I said, you’re not a failure. You were failed.In this week’s episode I talk about 3 ways you were failed and how you can start practicing the skills you missed out on. I walk you through a simple exercise at the end of the video. Grab a pen and paper and you can do it along with me.Ways You Were Failed1 - You were taught to connect your behavior and performance to your identity and value2 - You weren’t taught to celebrate success, enjoy the moment, or what to do with your emotions3 - You weren’t taught to separate thoughts from emotionsPracticeThis exercise walks you through listening to your emotions, taking your thoughts captive, and deciding what to do next.Grab a pen and paper and write down every thought and emotion you are aware of when you say, “I am not a failure.”Mark the thoughts and the emotions differently (colors, circle/underline)Which thoughts are yours? Which thoughts are true?What choices do you need to make?I look forward to hearing how it goes and what questions you have for me.

From Trauma To Maturity: Healing The Stuck Places #108
I'd love to hear from you! Text meThe simple phrase—“put away childish things”—can feel like a mountain when your emotional growth froze at a moment when life overwhelmed you. We explore how trauma, both the big events that shatter safety and the quiet absences of affirmation or validation, shapes our thinking, our nervous systems, and our relationships long after the moment has passed. I share how childish patterns like people-pleasing, always being alert to others, and self-blame often began as smart survival strategies, and why real change requires more than “think different.”Together we map the difference between Big T trauma and little t trauma and why comparing pain keeps us stuck. We talk about the lies we often agree to in hard moments—beliefs about God, ourselves, and others that promise quick safety but cost us freedom—and how to unwind them with honesty, compassion, and, for those with a faith lens, prayer and repentance. I walk through a layered approach to healing: addressing the body’s stored survival energy, reframing unhelpful mental rules, and letting trustworthy relationships provide the missing nutrients of affirmation, validation, and care.If you’ve ever wondered why “no” feels dangerous, why you over-function in relationships, or why old stories still run the show, this conversation offers hope. For next steps, I share community resources and a creative practice that helps surface lies, receive truth, and translate belief into daily behavior.

It’s too hard. It’s not working. You’ll never get it right. You know what’s right but you question if anyone sees Christ in your life.This is likely a wall that’s foundation was laid in childhood and with the sneaky influence of satan. It’s built with lies about God and His love for you. Lies about yourself. Lies about how the Kingdom of God works.Jesus is ready and willing to take the wall down.It’s your wall so He needs your permission.From an adult perspective it may not make sense that you built a wall to stop yourself. Somehow it was intended to protect you. The thing is when we try to protect ourselves we are not trusting God. We’re getting bad information. When we are hurting the enemy is always there trying to help us make sense of things in a way that will keep us stuck in the long run. Without the help, maturity, and discernment to know the difference, walls get built to protect that eventually trap you.Once Jesus has your permission He will dismantle the wall in whatever way He chooses. Along with your permission you may need to forgive, repent, break wrong agreements or something else as you sit in His presence.Wall 2You have been following God’s call, walking the path He laid out for you. Now you feel He is calling you higher, to more. But you feel like you’ve hit a wall. The doodle of this is walking a path in the mountains and coming to a cliff. The trail seems to dead end right in front you.Doubt floods in. Did You say to go this way? Haven’t I been obeying? Did I get it wrong? Then the accusations. You never should have come this way. Why did you think you could make it? Who do you think you are anyway?You are tempted to stop. It feels hopeless and pointless. Impossible.If you keep going you will see that when you get to the cliff there is a hidden stair cut in the mountain that goes to the next level. You can;t see it because you’re not there yet or because God is calling you to pivot. You need to turn, to shift your focus off the cliff to see the stairs.You haven’t been wrong. You needed to come this way to get to the stairs. The steps to get to the next level. There may be relationships, good ideas, things that worked in the past that need to be left behind to ascend the stairs. It doesn’t mean they were wrong or bad, just not for this part of the journey.What God taught me about my daughter's wall and it's foundation.

The Heart is Deceptive. Or Is It? #104
I'd love to hear from you! Text meWhat if the heart isn't as deceptive as we've been led to believe? Unearth the biblical truths about the heart's true nature as we challenge the conventional wisdom rooted in Jeremiah 17:9. Discover how the heart's condition changes based on whether it focuses on selfish desires or God. We dissect scriptures like Jeremiah 3:15, Psalm 20:4, and Job 22:22 to show that when aligned with God's will, the heart can be discerning and upright. We also highlight the profound connection between our emotions, experiences, and the healing journey, emphasizing that God truly cares about our feelings and pain.Ever wondered why Western culture often prioritizes the mind over the heart? We unravel the contradiction between this notion and biblical teachings, focusing on 1 Samuel 16:7. Learn how God looks beyond outward appearances and values the heart, which includes our feelings, thoughts, and character. By exploring the Hebrew concept of loving God with all your heart, soul, and might, we advocate for an integrated approach where heart, mind, will, and emotions coexist harmoniously. This episode invites you to reconsider the belief that the heart is inherently deceptive, and to embrace a balanced perspective that can enrich your faith journey.I'd love to connect with you!Find community in Healing Generations Learn how God communicates with you in Transformational Quiet Times

Embracing the Unfinished Story: Finding Purpose and Perspective Through Doodling #103
I'd love to hear from you! Text meHave you ever felt like sharing your story is only valid once you've conquered your demons? I've been there. This week on the podcast, we're tearing down the facade that we must be 'fixed' before we can contribute anything of value. With vulnerability as my compass, I navigate the raw, unpolished terrain of personal narratives that are still unfolding, and discuss why these tales in transit are just as vital as those with a polished end. Embracing the messiness of the middle, I reveal how gradual steps in the dark often lead to profound growth and why it's crucial to cherish the journey as much as the destination.The episode then shifts to a seemingly simple yet powerful tool for clarity—doodling. Sharing my own moment of mental fog lifting as I imagined sketching my thoughts, I invite you to discover how this act can anchor us in purpose and faith, serving as a beacon through life's storms. We're not all artists.Join me as we explore the beauty of grounding ourselves in purpose and the unexpected shifts in perspective that can emerge from the taking up a pen and listening for the Lord.I'd love to connect with you!Find community in Healing Generations Learn how God communicates with you in Transformational Quiet Times

I'd love to hear from you! Text meEver had a moment where a spilled coffee or a missed bus sent you into an emotional tailspin? You're not alone. On this episode, join me, Mukkove Johnson, as we delve into the world of repressed emotions and how they can disrupt our lives in unexpected ways.

98: How To Start Unpacking Repressed Emotions
I'd love to hear from you! Text meIf you grew up believing emotions were bad and best avoided the thought of starting to deal with them now can be overwhelming, downright scary. The good news is you don't need to do it all at once. You can go as slowly and gently as you need to.Accepting you have emotions is a good first step. Allow them to be close in small doses. Learn to be comfortable in their presence. You don't need to fix them or resolve them. Emotions are to experience. In experiencing them you get to know them and yourself.Making space for your child's emotions can show you what you need to make space for your own emotions.

97: Embracing Your Mistakes: The Heart Doodling Path to Self-Compassion and Growth
I'd love to hear from you! Text meHow do you talk to yourself when you make a mistake?Is it kind and encouraging? Is it helpful?If you talked to a friend the way you talk to yourself would you still be friends?For so many years the answer was no. No it was not kind. No it wasn’t helpful. No, I wouldn’t have any friends if I spoke to them the way I spoke to myself.It’s ironic that as I try to write this I am debating if it is better to go find what I’ve already written on this topic or to start over. And if I start over do I write or do I talk it out first? What’s the “best” way to do this? Because I’m afraid of making a mistake… There is no best way. The best way is to write, something, somehow. Not keep thinking about writing, not keep looking for things I think I said or where I think I covered this before. If I remember them and decide to include them that’s fine. Right now it’s time to write. Not to refine and produce a finished piece. It’s time to write. To get thoughts out of my head so I can work with them until they are ready to share with you.One of the ways I fight this drive to always do everything in the “best” way is through Heart Doodling with Jesus. In her free workshop, Maritza Parra teaches the concept of using a permanent marker to doodle and watercolor paint to paint your doodles. Her reasoning is to create the practice of accepting mistakes as part of the learning process. I have found this to be a powerful practice and encourage anyone trying Heart Doodling with Jesus to do the same.Now there’s a voice inside that needs to be silenced. This voice tells me it’s bad unless it’s perfect, and it’s never perfect. This voice tells me if I don’t do well people will leave. It tells me if I cause problems they will leave. I silence that voice everytime I pick up my permanent marker and make an imperfect doodle. Everytime I keep going with a lopsided box, the head of my little Ava-Doodle wonky instead of round, I keep writing when I spelled a word wrong. I keep the message from the Lord even when the paint ran and no one but me knows what the picture was anyway.Mistakes are okay. They are normal. They are part of learning. We practice. As we practice we will make mistakes.Heart Doodling with Jesus gives you small, safe practice at many skills you may have missed growing up. Using the permanent marker and watercolor paints give you practice in seeing mistakes are part of learning. Mistakes don’t ruin things. I’ll talk more about that in Don’t Start Over Sit with It.I'd love to connect with you!Find community in Healing Generations Learn how God communicates with you in Transformational Quiet Times

95: Slow Down, Take the Pressure Off, Walk at God's Pace
I'd love to hear from you! Text meThe Lord has been impressing on my heart, slow down. It's interesting because I feel like my word for 2024 is access. But then what the Lord keeps saying is slow down, slow down, slow down. I am trying to press into that and understand what that looks like. Part of slowing down is taking the pressure off. Taking pressure off means adjusting my expectations of where I show up and how often I show up, and that kind of thing. I sat down to Heart Doodle with Jesus to sort out what I was feeling when it came to slowing down. Part of me was feeling discouraged and rather hopeless. Then there's the side that can see the benefit of slowing down and the appeal of slowing down. I can see and feel the contrast of my feelings.As I listened the Lord said, “Slowing down is important. It's obedience.” That struck a chord with me. It's not just oh, do I want to or do I not? It's obedience because He's telling me to slow down. So slowing down is obedience and that's why it's important. Slowing down, on the one hand, feels good, it feels peaceful, so, yes, can I please slow down? The other side is how am I going to make this work? How am I going to get everything done? What does this look like? I don't have the details and I think it's important to realize that walking in faith and living with the Lord often has both sides. When you are walking with the Lord it doesn’t mean everything is roses, easy and peaceful. There's still an enemy. There's still your old programming that pushes you in different ways. Obedience goes against striving. The pressure comes from my striving and my own expectations of what needs to be done or how it's supposed to look.In February's Heart Doodling Workshop (recording is available here) the first doodle I titled, What Was. Doing a Heart Doodle with Jesus gives space to feel and identify your feelings. It is an opportunity to pay attention to the thoughts running through your head. Most importantly it is a time to hear God’s perspective on your thoughts, feelings, and circumstances.I invite you to reach out to me. If you're in a place of “I can't even imagine slowing down, yet there's that place in my spirit where that sounds so appealing, but then that just gets crushed with everything that floods in on top of it, of all the things to do and all the people that would be upset.” reach out to me. We can have a conversation and see how I can best support you.

94: You can Get Past the Mom Guilt:Receiving Forgiveness
I'd love to hear from you! Text meHave you ever felt the weight of guilt as a mother, haunted by the moments you wish you could take back? I know I have, and in our latest conversation, I lay bare the emotional journey of confronting the guilt born from unintentionally instilling fear into my child. We tackle the tough work of dismantling that foundation, replacing it with trust and the unwavering grace we're so freely given. This isn't about wallowing in what's been done; it's about confessing, seeking forgiveness, and most importantly, learning to move forward. By sharing my own steps towards healing, I hope to guide you through the liberating process of letting go of the guilt that binds us.As we delve deeper, we unearth the truths about our identity in Christ. There's a profound freedom in understanding that we are made righteous through Him, not through our own toils and efforts. I discuss how embracing this transformative belief can release us from the past and propel us into the life we are meant to live—free from the chains of guilt and fear. I encourage you to share your own stories, seek advice, and build a supportive community where we can all thrive in the light of these revelations. Together, let's step into the freedom that comes with being new creations in Christ, leaving behind old patterns for a fresh start.I'd love to connect with you!Find community in Healing Generations Learn how God communicates with you in Transformational Quiet Times

90: Let Go of Regret: Get the Meassage and Let It Move On
I'd love to hear from you! Text meI sat down at a coffee shop to write without the distractions of home and child.I immediately felt like crying. This is a very familiar experience for me. I slow down and I feel like crying. Over the years this has led to me paying attention to my tears. They come for many reasons. Sad, mad, happy, overwhelmed in good or bad ways, sensing God’s presence, and being weary from going too much.The last one was the reason today. I’ve been slowing down physically and in my expectations of how much I can get done ( and getting more done). Slowing down to pay attention to how I am feeling and why,,, not so much. Taking the pressure off of trying to say the right thing in the right way… not so much either.Instead of diving into writing, which was the purpose of this time because I have put off writing twice already this week, I pulled out my sketchbook to sort out the tears.I’m glad I did.I drew a big teardrop and wrote the word regret.I asked what regret was.At least for today it was grief over what could have been. I could have more clarity. I could have this writing done. I could feel like I know what I’m doing. I could…As I wrote it I was reminded of the times in the Chronicles of Narnia when Lucy asked Aslan about what would have happened. He responds that she doesn’t get to know what would have happened. She can obey and find out what will happen.Regret was grieving what I imagined could have happened.Now it’s time to obey, to move, and find out what will happen.This was a good revelation and insight. At times I would have left it at that. However it was not actionable. There was no practical way I was going to apply it and make a change to intentionally move toward what I want to happen.In the past this would have led to the urge and pressure to create a detailed plan for all the things I want to have happen.I still felt the urge.I also had the reminder that doing a simple thing everyday has gotten me more progress and more peace in managing my home.I’m trying to apply this to my spiritual and mental health as well.I’m still experimenting with exactly what that looks like. I know it means slowing down. It means changing my thinking from a project mentality to a small steps mentality. There is a temptation to listen to the bullying voice telling me I should have that already. God’s been talking to me about the importance and impact of small steps for almost 3 years.I don’t need to bully myself.I don’t need to let the devil bully me either.I don’t need to stay in what could have been.I move into what will be.I will change.I will learn.I will see the goodness of God in the land of the living.Is there an area you have been experiencing regret?I'd love to connect with you!Find community in Healing Generations Learn how God communicates with you in Transformational Quiet Times

82: Embracing Divine Love: Understanding and Owning Our Belovedness
I'd love to hear from you! Text meHave you ever pondered upon the depth of the love the Lord has for us and how it transforms our view of ourselves? This revealing discussion is about that epiphany - a powerful realization of my journey, embracing divine love and subsequently learning to genuinely love myself. I paint a vivid picture through the profound message in the song Belovedness by Sarah Koger, which has become a cherished anthem for me. Prepare yourself for a deeper exploration of self-love, faith, and the exhilarating experience of owning our belovedness.During this conversation, I also delve into the beautiful song I am Your Beloved by Jonathan David & Melissa Helser, reinforcing our need to acknowledge ourselves as the cherished ones of the Lord. What do you need to do to own your belovedness? The true essence of love is doing what's best for the ones we love. There is a difference between self-love and selfishness. We are called to love our neighbor as we love ourselves (Matthew 22:37-39). The Father loves us as much as He loves Jesus (John 17:23).Join me on this enlightening journey towards truly understanding and owning our belovedness.I'd love to connect with you!Find community in Healing Generations Learn how God communicates with you in Transformational Quiet Times

I'd love to hear from you! Text meHave you ever struggled to live up to expectations that seem impossible to meet? Well, what if I told you that there is a freedom that transcends all these daily concerns—a freedom found in Christ? As someone who is journeying through the confusion and turmoil to find this freedom, I'm excited to unpack this profound concept, drawing from Galatians 5:1. Our conversation will delve into the transformative power of Christ's love, where we are free from the burdens of our past, condemnation, and even death. Yet, it's not just about freedom from things—it's also about the freedom to do things. It's a beautiful journey, one that led me to realize that Christianity is not restrictive, but freeing, and I believe it can do the same for you. So, whether you're yearning to break free from old labels or seeking a life that's truly fulfilling, this episode is for you. Join me on this exploration of freedom in Christ and be empowered to make wise choices that uphold your newfound freedom. Together, let's stand firm in this freedom, centered on God's love, and choose life in the Spirit. Remember, no matter the struggles, your freedom is always there and the Lord is always with you. So tune in, learn, and prepare to experience the joy of freedom in Christ.I'd love to connect with you!Find community in Healing Generations Learn how God communicates with you in Transformational Quiet Times
