What if the anxiety, chronic illness, and emotional struggles you’re carrying are connected to deeper wounds in the soul?

In this powerful conversation, Susie Larson shares her deeply personal healing journey through childhood trauma, chronic illness, fear, and anxiety — and how God met her in the middle of it all.

An author, national speaker, and radio host, Susie opens up about surviving physical and emotional abuse, battling Lyme disease while raising three young children, and learning how unhealed trauma impacts the body, mind, and spirit. Together, we discuss why so many women live in survival mode, how fear affects our physiology, and what it looks like to finally face the lies keeping us stuck.

Susie shares how God revealed this life-changing truth to her:

“The storms reveal the lies we believe and the truth we need.”

If you’ve struggled with anxiety, chronic illness, emotional exhaustion, or feeling disconnected from yourself and from God, this episode offers hope, healing, and practical encouragement for the journey toward wholeness.

We also talk about:

How fear impacts the brain and body
Why women often suppress pain until it shows up physically
Learning to listen to your body instead of pushing through
The importance of counseling, rest, and emotional processing
Renewing your mind and rewiring fear-based thought patterns
Why God cares about your whole health: body, mind, and soul
How healing equips us to minister to a hurting world

•

43m

In this conversation, Haley Scully shares her journey into biblical counseling, ministry, and helping people find real hope in the middle of today’s mental health crisis. With a background in counseling and ministry through Hope for the Heart, Haley discusses the importance of caring for one another biblically while staying rooted in God’s truth rather than chasing cultural counseling trends.

We talk about the growing need for biblical answers to anxiety, pain, disappointment, and emotional struggles — and why true healing comes from addressing the heart, not simply assigning blame. Haley opens up personally about wrestling with unmet expectations, trusting God through singleness, and learning what it truly means to believe in His goodness even when life doesn’t look the way we hoped.

We also dive into one of the most relevant conversations happening today: faith and AI. Haley shares how Hope for the Heart partnered with Pray.com to create AI tools informed by 40 years of biblical counseling content and wisdom, helping ensure people searching for answers online are pointed toward truth grounded in Scripture.

In this episode, we discuss:

How experiences shape our emotions and reactions
Finding healing through God instead of blame
Trusting God when life doesn’t go according to plan
How Christians can approach AI and technology with wisdom
Why the Church should engage culture instead of fear it
Using technology as a tool for discipleship and biblical guidance

The Truth About PCOS, PMOS & GLP-1s :: Dr. Kamilia Smith [Ep 575]

June 1

•

52m

Dr. Kamilia Smith joins us for an eye-opening conversation about the evolving understanding of PCOS, and why it was renamed PMOS (Poly Endocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome), and what this shift means for women’s health, hormones, fertility, and treatment moving forward.

For years, PCOS has been treated primarily as an ovarian or reproductive disorder, but Dr. Smith explains why the ovaries may actually be the messenger — not the root cause. We explore the growing understanding of the metabolic, hormonal, and whole-body factors that impact women’s health.

We also discuss GLP-1 medications, insulin resistance, body composition, fertility, migraines, depression, movement, and how moms can support their daughters without fear or overreacting to symptoms.

This conversation is packed with practical insight, hope, and a much more compassionate approach to women’s health.

In this episode, we cover:

Why PCOS has been misunderstood for decades
The connection between hormones, metabolism, insulin resistance, and inflammation
Why the ovaries may be signaling a deeper metabolic issue
Common symptoms like weight struggles, excess hair growth, irregular periods, and prediabetes
How GLP-1 medications are changing women’s healthcare
Fertility improvements women are experiencing with metabolic treatment
Small lifestyle shifts that can make a major impact
Advice for moms navigating hormone concerns with their daughters
