Have you ever felt weighed down by guilt, shame, or the quiet thought, “I should’ve known better”?

In this tender episode of From Negative Thoughts to Godly Peace, we talk honestly about what it means to feel like you’ve failed God—or yourself—and how grace meets us right there.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • A personal story from my journey as a single mom navigating financial mistakes and guilt
  • The difference between conviction and condemnation—and why it matters
  • How our minds turn mistakes into labels (and what God says instead)
  • A guided journaling practice to release shame and step into grace
  • A prayer spoken over you for peace and renewal

This episode is a reminder that failure isn’t your identity—it’s an experience.
 And grace is still working.

 Before we begin, if you are tired of shrinking in relationships just to feel loved, my 7-day audio plus email course, Why I Keep Shrinking to Be Loved? will help you understand the root of that pattern and begin healing it with faith and guided reflection. Enroll today for immediate access.
