Author: Anchored Media Network December 4, 2025 Duration: 36:41

Before we get into today’s episode, I want to let you know that the Blessed + Bossed Up podcast is currently on a brief break as I reset, refocus, and prepare for what’s next in this new season. While we’re away, I’ll be sharing powerful sessions, teachings, and listener favorites from our community to continue pouring into you. Today’s replay is one of those sessions. Enjoy, and I pray it blesses you right where you are.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Key lessons from the book of Isaiah and its relevance to our daily lives.
  • How patterns of behavior like fear, self-reliance, and worldly influences keep us from fully depending on God.
  • The concept of the habit loop and how it shapes our actions.
  • Practical strategies to disrupt unhealthy habits and replace them with faith-driven behaviors.


Scripture Focus:

  • Isaiah 30:21 (NLT): “Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, ‘This is the way you should go,’ whether to the right or to the left.”
