153. The Lies Are Loud. God Still Whispers His Love

153. The Lies Are Loud. God Still Whispers His Love

Author: Heidi Fitzsimmons - Inspirational Writer & Podcaster May 3, 2026 Duration: 18:19
Hello, beautiful! How are you doing after last week’s episode? After we sat in the ashes with Job, gave ourselves permission to ask, "Why me, God?", and learned that the Shepherd walks with us through the valley — not around it. Well, this week, we're building on that. Because the next question is just as important as the first one. Last week we asked, "Why me, God?" This week, we ask, "Who am I becoming because of this?" Today we're talking about the lies that grow in hard seasons — the negative beliefs that whisper in our ears when we’re too tired to fight back. We'll name two of the loudest ones, hear what scripture says back to them, and learn what it means to "stay in your lane" when life gets heavy. Inspired by Romans 8 and 2 Corinthians 12, we'll explore why God's love isn't earned, why your brokenness isn't a disqualifier, and how the inner work of healing negative beliefs is some of the most sacred work we do. You'll Learn: 👣 What it really means to "stay in your lane" when something hard is happening to you 👣 The two loudest lies that whisper in women's hearts during hard seasons — and the scripture that confronts each one 👣 Why your past explains you, but does not excuse you (and how emotional intelligence meets faith) 👣 One tender invitation for healing a negative belief this week 📖 Grab your tea and your affirmation journal, available at: https://riselovelive.com/Affirmation%20Guide — and use code PODCAST15 for 15% off any workbook! 🌟 Know a beautiful soul who's been hearing the lies a little too loudly?
