Made for More

What are you still trying to control instead of surrendering to God? In this episode of Made for More, We talk about wedding planning and the powerful ways God has been teaching me to release my plans, worries, and future into His hands. We explore why surrender isn’t weakness—it’s an act of trust, worship, and daily obedience. When we surrender fully to God, we experience the peace, freedom, and strength that come from knowing He is in control. “Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you.” — Psalm 55:22 What area of your life are you holding back from God?

In Episode 4 of Made for More, we’re talking about health, fitness, and nutrition through the lens of faith. This episode unpacks what it means to steward your body as a temple of the Holy Spirit, not from a place of vanity, obsession, or comparison, but from a place of worship, discipline, and freedom. Through honest reflection, personal experience, and Scripture, this conversation explores the difference between chasing a body goal and honoring the body God gave you. From unhealthy fitness mindsets, food obsession, body image struggles, and tracking numbers, to learning how to move, eat, and live with freedom, this episode is a reminder that fitness should add to your life, not become your life.

In this powerful and personal episode, Erica talks about identity, worth, and what it means to be God’s handiwork. She shares how easy it is to place identity in appearance, productivity, money, titles, relationships, or success — and how God has been teaching her to root her worth in Christ alone. Using Ephesians 2:10, Philippians 1:6, and Romans 12:2, this episode walks through Scripture meditation, replacing lies with truth, and learning to believe that being God’s daughter is enough. If you’ve been struggling with comparison, insecurity, or attaching your worth to things that can change, this conversation is for you.

In episode two of Made for More, we’re talking about something so many of us carry quietly: shame. Whether it comes from past mistakes, old seasons, sin, regret, or the fear of what others may think, shame can keep us stuck, hidden, and separated from the freedom God has already given us. In this episode, I’m sharing honestly from my own journey of learning to release shame, receive God’s grace, and forgive myself through the truth of His Word. We’ll talk about repentance, the love of God, replacing lies with Scripture, baptism, and what it means to truly walk as a new creation in Christ. My prayer is that this episode reminds you that your past does not define you. If Jesus has set you free, you are unquestionably free. Scriptures mentioned: John 8:36 John 10:10 Remember: our purpose here on earth is to know God and to make God known.
