Today’s episode of the New Beginnings Podcast is for anyone who woke up anxious, behind schedule, and overwhelmed.I share a very real moment from my own morning when my alarm didn’t go off, my schedule fell apart, and anxiety immediately set in. Out of all the days, it happened on my busiest one. My heart was pounding, my thoughts were racing, and I felt pressured before the day even started.But during my devotion time, God met me through His Word. The verse of the day was Psalm 94:19, “When anxiety was great within me, Your consolation brought me joy.”In this episode, we talk about:What to do when anxiety hits first thing in the morningHow God comforts us when plans don’t go as expectedThe power of Scripture during anxious and overwhelming momentsWhy delays are sometimes God’s protectionTrusting God’s purpose when your schedule falls apartIf you are struggling with anxiety, pressure, or frustration today, this episode is for you.

Feeling weak, overwhelmed, or stretched thin?In this episode of the New Beginnings Podcast, we reflect on 2 Corinthians 12:10 and talk about how weakness is not wasted in God’s Kingdom. Paul reminds us that when we are weak, God’s strength is revealed, not through control, but through surrender.We also connect this truth to real life and fitness, from progressive overload in weightlifting to discipline and consistency in everyday habits. Just like muscles grow under tension, our faith grows when we choose obedience even when it is uncomfortable.If you are in a hard season, struggling with discipline, or feeling like you are falling behind, this episode is for you.

There are seasons when life feels overwhelming, when our hearts feel tired, our routines fall apart, and we find ourselves quietly asking God to revive us again.In Episode 43 of the New Beginnings Podcast, I share a very personal testimony about prayer, fasting, surrender, and how God answered my prayer for renewal in a way I did not expect.During a church prayer and fasting week, I cried out to God asking Him to bring me back to a season where He was my priority and my life felt aligned. Shortly after, I received an unexpected blessing that reminded me of the habits, disciplines, and rhythms that once brought me closer to Him.In this episode, I talk about: • Feeling overwhelmed and spiritually drained • Praying for revival and renewal • God answering prayers in practical and unexpected ways • Losing and rebuilding godly habits • Surrendering control and trusting God’s purpose • How discipline, structure, and obedience can be tools God uses to restore usIf you are feeling tired, stuck, or longing for a fresh start with God, this episode is for you.Let this be a reminder that revival often begins with surrender, and that when God is at the center of it all, even the most practical blessings become holy ground.✨ Join our New Beginnings Community on Facebook👉 https://www.facebook.com/newbeginningsofficialPHLet’s grow in faith together, one new beginning at a time 🤍
In this Episode 42 of the New Beginnings Podcast, I share a very personal story from our church’s prayer and fasting week. My husband and I joined while still recovering from the flu, emotionally tired, and spiritually weak. In the middle of fasting and prayer, we had a major fight that pushed me to the edge of quitting.There was a moment when I could not feel God anymore. I felt exhausted, discouraged, and overwhelmed. But in that moment of weakness, God met me in an unexpected way and reminded me of this truth from 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”This episode is for anyone who feels tired, worn out, or ready to give up. It is a reminder that your weakness is not a failure. It is an invitation for God to step in and carry what you cannot.In this episode, we talk about:• Struggling through prayer and fasting• Feeling weak and wanting to quit• God’s grace meeting us in our breaking point• Finding strength in weakness through faith• Why suffering is not wasted and how God uses it to grow usIf this episode speaks to you, feel free to share it with someone who might need this reminder today.✨ Join our New Beginnings Community on Facebook👉 https://www.facebook.com/newbeginningsofficialPH🎧 Listen on your favorite podcast platform and follow the show so you do not miss future episodes.Let’s grow in faith together, one new beginning at a time 🤍
