Trade a Lie for a Truth

Have you ever looked at your life and thought… this isn’t who I thought I’d become?

Maybe somewhere along the way, between the responsibilities, the heartbreak, the striving, and the survival mode, you lost sight of who you really are. You keep pushing forward, hoping that working harder, doing better, or holding everything together will finally make you feel whole again — but deep ...

Have you ever thought, ‘I can just brush this off… and I’ll be fine”?

Let’s talk about this lie that maybe we’re living with—without even realizing it. It’s the quiet belief that ignoring our pain is somehow healthier than facing it.

So we stay busy.

We push through.

We tell ourselves it’s...

What if someone asked you point-blank: Are you holy?

Would you hesitate? Laugh it off? Maybe cringe a little? You’re not alone—and that reaction reveals a deeper belief many of us carry without even realizing it.

Somewhere along the way, many of us have come to believe that holiness is reserved for heaven—that here and now, “trying our best” is enough.

New Barna research reveals a surprising shift: fewer women—and more men—are attending church. Why is that? And does any of it resonate with you?

Somewhere along the way, many women have stepped back, unsure where they fit—in the church, in their lives, even in God’s story.

In this episode, Jen Oshman—speaker, author, church planter’s wife, and director of women’s ministry at Redemption Parker—helps untangle that uncertainty and rep...

Not a morning person? Think again.

In this episode, bestselling author and speaker Jennifer Dukes Lee joins us to challenge the common lie that mornings are only for disciplined, early-rising people. Drawing from her study of over 200 mornings in the Bible, Jennifer reveals how God meets us in every sunrise—no matter when or how we wake up.

We dive into morning rituals (not routines), uncover the concept of Morning Archetypes, and ...

Do you know someone who feels at war with their own body? Someone who loves God but feels deeply confused about who they are? Or maybe it's you who wishes you were someone else—someone designed differently.

In today’s episode, we’re trading the lie that peace comes from becoming someone else for the truth that real healing begins when we respond to God’s invitation to return to Him.

Author and speaker  ⁨@kylagillespie⁩  joins me t...

Have you ever opened your Bible with the best intentions—only to feel confused a few minutes later?

Maybe you’ve quietly wondered, I just don’t get the Bible.

In this episode, we’re trading the lie that Scripture is too complicated for the truth that you can study the Bible with confidence and joy—and discover the living God who speaks through its pages.

Author, speaker, and podcast host Kelly Needham joins me to talk about why so ...

Ever found yourself thinking, “I’ll be okay once this is over”? Once the grief lifts, the diagnosis changes, the prayer's finally answered... you know, once you see the light at the end of the tunnel?

But what if the tunnel feels long… or endless?

In this episode, we’re trading the lie “I’ll see the light when I get to the end of the tunnel” for the truth that you can see the Light God even in the darkness.

Pastor and author Chad R...

Ever found yourself thinking, ‘I’ve followed Jesus for years—why does this still feel hard?’

If that question has crossed your mind, you’re not alone.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Kristen LaValley, author of Growing Up Saved, who shares how saying the sinner’s prayer at a young age eventually led to deeper questions, seasons where faith felt heavy, and the guilt grew stronger.

Yet Kristen gently reminds us we can bring our rea...

What if the reason you haven’t found peace yet isn’t because your life is too loud… but because you’ve been waiting for it to finally quiet down?

So many of us believe the subtle lie: Peace will come when this season settles. When the diagnosis clears. When the relationship stabilizes. When the calendar empties. When the anxiety makes sense.

But Psalm 23 tells a very different story.

In this powerful conversation, Bible teacher and...

Ever wondered how to talk to kids about scary things—storms, sickness, or other frightening moments—and they wonder if God is mad at them? Or maybe you’ve struggled with that yourself as an adult.

It’s easy to carry this lie that when bad things happen, God must be angry, punishing, or absent. But the truth of the matter is God is present in the storms, big or small. He never stops loving His children, even when life feels out of ...

Ever wonder if God’s promises rise and fall with how well you perform? If God’s favor must be maintained—or if His faithfulness might waver when you fall short?

When that assumption creeps in, the book of Joshua confronts it head-on. In this conversation with Jen Wilkin—Bible teacher, best-selling author, and a trusted guide helping believers grow in biblical literacy—we open Scripture together to see how God ensures the fulfillmen...

Have you ever wondered… what if my best days are already behind me? After loss, sickness, or life just takes a turn you never would have chosen.

This lie shows up when prayers feel unanswered, when grief lingers longer than expected, and when the future looks nothing like the one you dreamed of. But it's time to confront the lie, “life will never be good again," and trade it for the truth that His goodness is still following you.

...

Ever hit a point where you just… feel forgotten? You’re praying, doing all the “right” things, trying to keep your faith steady—but heaven’s quiet. Everyone else is getting their breakthrough, their answered prayer, their happy ending… and you’re over here wondering, “Did God skip over me?”

It's here where we can start believing the sneaky little lie: “God doesn’t care. He’s given up on me.”

But what if we’re misinterpreting th...

Parents, are you tired of constantly putting out fires and reacting in the moment? What if there’s a better way to raise kids—one that shapes their hearts, builds character, and points them to God from the inside out?

In this episode, Abbey Wedgeworth, author of the Training Young Hearts series as well as her upcoming release “Help! I’m Ruining My Kids,” joins us to unpack p...

Are you stepping into 2026 craving a reset—but unsure what habits, rhythms, or goals actually matter? In this powerful New Year conversation, Heidi sits down with Bible teacher and author Elizabeth Woodson to talk about the lies that shape us, the habits that form us, and the gospel-centered rhythms that lead to true peace, wholeness, and abundance.

Together, they unpack:

Ever feel like your body is failing you? Something to fight instead of something to steward? What if seeing your body wrongly is keeping you from seeing God clearly?

Ultimately, if Jesus chose to have a human body, what does that say about ours?

Join Heidi as she sits down with best-selling author, speaker, and Bible teacher Lisa Whittle to confr...

How many times have you asked yourself: Did I do enough today? Why can’t I keep up like she does? I should’ve had more patience. More connection. More prayer.

You love your kids fiercely, but sometimes you’re running on fumes—and wondering if you’re doing much of it right or just messing up your kids. And then someone says, “Motherhood is your highest calling,” and it just adds to the doubt.

But what if that belief that “motherhood...

Every generation has wondered about the end times—but with constant headlines, global instability, wars, and the rise of AI, it feels more real than ever. Underneath the question “Is this it?” lies a deeper fear many believers quietly carry: The end times are something to fear.

In this episode, I sit down with apologist and Pastor Jason Carlson to unpack your biggest questions about Israel, prophecy, global conflict, technology, an...
