Stop Chasing And Start Seeking God First

Send us Fan Mail What if the thing you’re chasing is the very thing draining your peace? Tonight we get real about the pressure to “make it happen” and the quiet exhaustion that comes from chasing money, approval, relationships, success, and security while neglecting the One who actually sustains us. I’m inviting you into a heart-check that doesn’t shame you, but does challenge you: what do you reach for first each morning, and who is really leading your decisions? We build the conversation on Matthew 6:33, then thread it through Proverbs 3:5-6, Matthew 6:25-34, Philippians 4:6-7, Psalm 37:4-5, Isaiah 40:31, and Psalm 46:10. We talk about the difference between faith and control, how worry steals today by dragging tomorrow into your mind, and why “seeking God first” is not a church slogan but a daily practice that reshapes priorities, reduces fear, and strengthens courage. You’ll also hear why stewardship matters, how closed doors can redirect you, and how waiting seasons can renew strength instead of breaking you. If you’ve been tired, stretched, or stuck in your head, this message is for you. Press play, take one honest step toward prayer and obedience, and let peace lead again. If it helps you, subscribe, share this with someone who’s carrying too much, and leave a review with what you’re choosing to stop chasing. Support the show

Wounded Warrior Hosted by Dr. LeShawn Fernandez:Strength To Stand

Send us Fan Mail You can be dependable, productive, and still running on empty. Tonight, I’m slowing us down long enough to breathe and tell the truth: sometimes your heart is saying, “Lord, I’m tired,” even while everyone around you only sees what you accomplish. From the jump, I pray for real needs in real life, including people facing eviction and instability, and I remind you to take every word back to God for confirmation. Our focus is Strength To Stand, Courage To Move, And Faith To Soar, with a subtitle that tells the whole story: when God gives you strength for the battle and courage for the journey. We sit with three anchor scriptures that speak directly to burnout, fear, and waiting: Joshua 1:9, Philippians 4:13, and Isaiah 40:31. I break down what these verses mean in context, and I share personal testimony about pushing through pain, healing, and learning patience when you can’t move at yesterday’s pace. We get practical about Christian living and mental health: setting boundaries, asking for help, taking the next faithful step even when your hands are shaking, and letting “waiting on the Lord” include prayer, preparation, and rest. Before we close, I give you three short sentences to write that will turn this message into a plan for your week. If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with someone who’s carrying too much, and leave a review so more people can find strength, courage, and renewed faith. Support the show

Love That Lays Down

Send us Fan Mail Love is one of the easiest words to say and one of the hardest things to live. We open with a heart-check that cuts through the noise: when you hear the word love, do you think of comfort or disappointment, safety or being let down? I walk through why I no longer trust words alone and why actions reveal what is real, especially when life gets hard and you find out who truly shows up. From there, we go straight to Scripture and stay there, grounding everything in John 15:13 and the greatest example of sacrificial love: Jesus laying down His life. We also connect Romans 5:8 to the pressure so many people carry, the belief that you have to get perfect before you can come to God. You do not. God’s love meets us while we are still messy, still healing, still learning. I also share how encouragement and testimony can reach someone who looks fine on the outside but is quietly considering suicide, reminding us that one act of care can change a day, and sometimes a life. Then we make love practical. We name what love may require us to lay down: pride, convenience, the need for recognition, and retaliation. We talk about apologizing without excuses, serving without clout, choosing peace when you want to clap back, and why healing matters. And we get clear about boundaries: sacrificial love does not mean staying in danger or accepting abuse, and accountability matters when trust has been broken. We close with John 15:5, abiding in the vine, plus a simple weekly challenge to choose one intentional act of love and do it on purpose.

How To Lay Down Heavy Burdens And Find Rest In Jesus

Send us Fan Mail Your body can crash, your mind can race, and your heart can ache so deep that sleep can’t reach it and that’s where this message lands. We’re talking about the kind of exhaustion that comes from carrying everyone, managing outcomes, and trying to look “strong” while you’re quietly breaking. The anchor is simple and life-changing: Jesus says, “Come unto me… and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28), and we take that invitation seriously. We walk through what it means to cast all your cares on God (1 Peter 5:7) without pretending you’re okay. That includes grief, financial pressure, family responsibility, disappointment, and the urge to control the narrative. We also get honest about healing and boundaries: why knowing God for yourself matters, how discernment protects your peace, and why you don’t owe everyone access to your life just because they sound spiritual. Rest isn’t laziness, it’s alignment, and boundaries can be an act of faith. You’ll also hear a practical seven-day challenge to rebuild your spiritual rhythm: ten intentional minutes a day, slow scripture reading, an honest prayer, then quiet reflection so you can take one faithful next step at a time. If you’ve been the strong one for everybody else, let this be your reminder that you can be strong and still need rest. If this helps you breathe again, subscribe, share it with someone carrying too much, and leave a review so more people can find real Christian encouragement and practical faith.

UnErased w/ Trish Lacy: You Don’t Get The Rest Of My Life (Season 1 Episode 10 (Finale) )

Send us Fan Mail “You don’t get the rest of my life.” That’s the line I end this season with, because I’m done letting someone else sit at the center of my story. The finale is me telling the unfiltered truth about what my tears were really about: not missing the past, but walking back through it, grieving what I survived, and facing the hard reality of what I normalized just to get through another day. If you’ve ever searched for signs of narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse, gaslighting, or coercive control and wondered whether you’re “overreacting,” I want you to hear this clearly: your experience is real. I also talk about what people rarely explain when they tell women to “just leave.” Leaving isn’t one brave moment. It’s the long aftershock: relearning how to cook without criticism, laugh without fear, decide without defending yourself, and build a home that finally feels like you. My daughter and I start over with small rituals that become sacred, and I learn boundaries that protect my peace even when other people call it bitterness. When friends or family cling to the “good guy” image, I share how it feels to be questioned after years of questioning your own reality, and how I stop trying to prove what I already know. Therapy changes everything. I’m grateful for the kind of support that names narcissistic abuse, equips you with tools, and protects a child’s confidentiality so her voice can grow instead of being used against her. I also share resources that helped me practice letting go, release guilt, and move from survival mode to wholeness. The season ends, but the mission doesn’t: building a doorway out of silence for anyone who’s been dismissed, doubted, or made to feel invisible.

Trust The Process

Send us Fan Mail If you’ve been praying, waiting, and wondering why nothing looks different yet, this message meets you right there. We’re talking about what it really means to trust the process when life feels uncertain and your emotions are loud, because “we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7) is not just a verse, it’s a way to survive and grow. We share a personal story of walking through pregnancy complications, scary medical reports, and the choice to keep faith when the outcome wasn’t guaranteed. From Proverbs 3:5-6 to Hebrews 11:1, we unpack how trusting God doesn’t require you to fake strength or pretend you never have questions. Faith can be honest and still be steady, and you can bring your doubts to God without walking away from Him. We also get practical about the waiting season. Waiting doesn’t mean you stop living. We talk patience, perseverance, and spiritual maturity, plus the kind of boundaries that protect your healing. We cover discernment, wise counsel, releasing control, and holding hope through hard days with Romans 8:28. You’ll leave with clear reflection questions you can pray through right away, especially if you’re trying to control what God is asking you to surrender. If this encouraged you, subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next, share it with someone who’s in a waiting season, and leave a review to help more people find this faith and healing message.

Mind Your Assignment

Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever caught yourself knowing every detail about someone else’s life while your own goals feel stuck, this one hits close to home. We’re digging into a blunt, freeing reminder: mind your assignment. Not as a cute slogan, but as a real framework for focus, stewardship, and peace when the internet constantly invites you to monitor, judge, compare, and comment. We walk through why distraction is so sneaky and why “being observant” can turn into neglect. Using two vivid stories a farmer obsessing over a neighbor’s harvest and a student roaming the classroom during a timed assignment we connect the dots to faith and accountability. God is the instructor, not us, and when we spend our energy critiquing other people’s papers, we often haven’t even started our own work. From social media and the attention economy to relationships, parenting, business growth, and mental space, we keep it practical: attention is a resource, and where you send it is where your life gets built or broken down. We talk about how admiration can slide into comparison, why comparing timelines makes you rush decisions you were never told to make, and how freedom shows up when you stop engaging with everything you notice. We also ground it in Galatians 6:4 and a simple challenge: take inventory and identify your assignment right now.

When Disobedience Creates A Drought In Your Life

Send us Fan Mail That one line from Amos 4 keeps echoing long after we stop recording: “Yet you did not return to me.” We start Season 4 with a direct Sunday message from Dr. LaShawn Fernandez that asks what happens when God calls us to change and we keep choosing our own way. If you’ve felt spiritually dry, stuck in repeating cycles, or tired of making excuses you don’t even believe anymore, this conversation is meant to interrupt you in the best way. We walk through Amos 4:6–8 and connect the idea of “drought” to the warning signs we ignore like strained relationships, unchecked habits, and priorities that keep drifting. We also talk honestly about the difference between being in church and being transformed, and why obedience to God is more than emotion or routine. Along the way we reference Deuteronomy 28, Haggai 1, 1 Corinthians 14:33, 2 Chronicles 7:13–14, and Luke 13 to keep the message biblical and balanced: consequences are real, but so is mercy, and suffering is not a license to blame people who are already hurting. You’ll hear us push for practical next steps: prayer, humility, wise counsel, telling the truth, making amends, and choosing peace over confusion. We also reflect on how easily we “listen” to technology while doubting the God who has already proven Himself, and we close with a raw reminder that fighting for your mind and healing in silence does not make you weak.

Unerased Hosted by Trish LacyEpisode 9: He Contacted My Therapist, Then Recorded Our Daughter

Send us Fan Mail Someone once tried to get ahead of my story by emailing my therapist first and warning her that I’m “very convincing.” That line still makes my stomach drop, because it captures the trap so many people live in during emotional abuse: if you cry, you’re unstable, and if you stay calm, you’re calculating. I’m Trish Lacey, and I’m taking you through the receipts I’ve kept for years: emails, recordings, and text messages that show how co-parenting conflict can turn a child’s feelings into a debate that adults try to win. I talk about therapy as a turning point, not as a neat solution, but as a place where I can finally name patterns like gaslighting, triangulation, and credibility attacks. I also share what it felt like when my private life followed me into my professional world, and then tried to follow me into the room where I was supposed to heal. The hardest part is hearing how careful a child becomes when she’s stuck between adults. We get into privacy while dressing and showering, phone monitoring, and the difference between protecting a child and controlling her voice. I also share how I try to protect my daughter’s confidence as a young Black girl learning to love her skin, her features, and her right to take up space without criticism. If you’re parenting through high-conflict custody or navigating narcissistic abuse dynamics, I hope you leave with one grounded takeaway: stop treating your child’s words like evidence and start treating them like truth worth listening to.

UnErased with Trish Lacy: Episode 8-When Her Pain Became My Purpose

Send us Fan Mail Your body knows when something is wrong, and so does your child. I’m Trish Lacey, and this chapter of my story centers on the moment I stopped treating healing like a private journey and started treating it like protection. With a gentle content warning up front, I share what happened after I left my marriage: the boundaries that felt uncomfortable at first, the small pockets of joy that helped me breathe again, and the sobering realization that my daughter was not just watching me recover, she needed healing of her own. We talk about the kind of emotional abuse and coercive control that doesn’t photograph well, especially inside co-parenting and custody exchanges. I describe what it looks like when a child feels rejected, when they don’t have a real space to belong, and when fear shows up in the body through startle responses, panic, and whispered phone calls asking to be picked up. I also tell the story of one Saturday night I will never forget, when my eight-year-old was told to pack her things and leave, and how that confrontation changed me in a way I cannot undo. Along the way, I connect the dots between trauma, boundaries, and the fierce clarity that arrives when you refuse to let a child carry an adult’s emotions. We close with the truth that became my anchor: you don’t need the person who harmed you to confirm what happened before you begin again. If you’re parenting, reparenting yourself, or trying to heal from narcissistic abuse and emotional neglect, I hope this offers language for what you’ve lived and permission to choose peace.
