Things Above Podcast w/ Taylar Jaquae

In today’s episode, Taylar explores the powerful and often overlooked topic of “Emotional Numbness.” What happens when we’ve experienced so much that we no longer know how to feel? Emotional numbness can feel like drowning in a sea of nothingness—where joy, sadness, excitement, or even pain seem distant and unreachable. Sometimes, numbness develops after repeatedly experiencing traumatic, painful, or overwhelming moments. With each experience, we may unknowingly sacrifice a little piece of ourselves just to survive, cope, or keep moving forward. Eventually, what once hurt may no longer feel like anything at all. But what if the numbness isn’t the end of the story? Taylar encourages listeners to slow down, acknowledge what they are feeling—or even what they are struggling to feel—and courageously dive beneath the surface of their emotions. Because sometimes, it is in the deepest places of our hearts that we encounter God. When we are willing to explore the places we have buried, God can meet us there, bring understanding to our pain, and guide us toward healing and freedom. This episode is an invitation to stop running from what’s beneath the surface and allow God to illuminate the emotions, wounds, and experiences that may have left us feeling disconnected from ourselves. Even when you feel lost in a sea of nothingness, God knows exactly where you are and can show you the way back to the surface.

In today’s episode, Taylar talks about the importance of having the Holy Spirit and allowing Him to lead, guide, and direct our lives. The Holy Spirit guides us into all truth, bringing clarity and understanding by highlighting the things we may overlook or fail to recognize on our own. Taylar explores how the Holy Spirit can reveal what is happening beneath the surface, illuminate situations, and help us discern what is truly from God. When we are sensitive to His voice, He can bring messages, confirmations, warnings, and direction directly from our Heavenly Father. This episode encourages listeners to recognize the Holy Spirit as more than simply a feeling or emotion, but as the Helper God has given us to lead us into truth and deeper relationship with Him. When God highlights something, we should pay attention, seek Him for understanding, and trust His direction—even when what He reveals challenges what we initially believed or expected.

In today’s episode, Taylar encourages listeners to go with what they have instead of waiting for everything to be perfect. Too often, we delay pursuing our goals and God-given purpose because we feel we lack the resources, support, connections, or evidence that we will succeed. But intentions require action. Faith requires movement. Sometimes, what we’re waiting for isn’t another resource—it’s the courage to use what God has already placed in our hands. Taylar reminds listeners that God has already equipped us for the assignment. We may not have all the answers or see the entire path, but we can take the next step and trust God to provide along the way. Stop waiting. Stop procrastinating. Start with what you have, put action behind your intentions, and trust God with the outcome.

In today’s episode, Taylar explores the reality of making plans for our lives, only to discover that what we envisioned looks completely different from what God has planned for us. We often believe we know what is best, where we should go, and how our lives should unfold—but God sees what we cannot see. His perspective is greater, His timing is perfect, and His plans reach far beyond our own understanding. Sometimes, when we become too focused on our own plans, God allows divine disruptions to reroute, redirect, and reposition us. What may initially feel like an unexpected setback, closed door, delay, disappointment, or detour may actually be God intervening to get us back on the path He designed for us. Taylar reminds listeners that not every disruption is meant to stop us—some disruptions are meant to save us, redirect us, and lead us somewhere better. We may not always understand why God changes the direction, but we can trust that He knows the destination. This episode encourages you to surrender your plans, release the need to control every detail, and remain open to God's redirection. When God disrupts your plans, don't automatically assume that something has gone wrong. Sometimes, the interruption is the instruction. The detour is the direction. And the disruption is divine. If God is rerouting you, trust Him enough to follow.

In today’s episode, Taylar explores what it truly means to walk in freedom and deliverance. Freedom is not always an instant moment—it can be a process that requires faith, consistency, obedience, and the determination to keep moving forward until the process is complete. Taylar briefly reflects on the Woman with the Issue of Blood, whose faith, focus, and determination led her directly to Jesus Christ and ultimately to her healing. Despite everything standing in her way, she kept pressing forward because she believed that Jesus was the answer. This episode is a reminder that sometimes we have to keep knocking, keep asking, keep seeking, and keep believing God for our freedom. Even when the process takes longer than expected, don't give up. God hears the cries of His children, and He is able to bring healing, deliverance, and freedom. Keep pressing. Keep believing. Keep seeking Jesus. Your freedom may be closer than you think.
