I thought I was doing everything right — counting calories, tracking macros, pushing through workouts — until I realized I was doing it all without God.

In this vulnerable episode, Ingrid shares her story of striving for “health” in her own strength — and what happened when she finally surrendered control and invited God into every part of her journey.

You’ll hear the hard truth about worldly wellness, the red flags of self-centered health, and the freedom that comes when you stop chasing results and start seeking righteousness.

This episode will leave you convicted, encouraged, and equipped to stop comparing, stop striving, and start honoring God from the inside out.

You don’t need silence to hear God’s voice — you just need a surrendered heart.

In this deeply personal and practical episode, Ingrid shares how her quiet time with God has evolved through every season of motherhood — from the chaos of toddlers and homeschooling to the late-night stillness of exhaustion and grace.

Discover what it really means to build Healthy Holy Habits for Everyday Faith — simple rhythms that help you stay connected to the Word, grounded in gratitude, and anchored in prayer, even when life feels loud and messy.

Ingrid walks you step by step through her real-life journaling rhythm — including how she: • reads Scripture intentionally (even if it’s not first thing in the morning), • writes one verse to let it take root in her heart, • cultivates gratitude that transforms her mindset, • reflects honestly on one area of growth each day, and • prays with flexibility using the ACTS model — sometimes writing every word, sometimes whispering or marking silent tallies of surrender.

This isn’t about performance. It’s about presence. Because holiness doesn’t happen when life finally gets quiet — it happens when you invite God into the noise. 📖 Scripture references: Psalm 46:10, Luke 10:38–42, James 4:8, Isaiah 55:11, John 15:4, Romans 12:2, Galatians 6:9, and Lamentations 3:22–23. 💜

We live in a culture obsessed with “becoming your best self.”

But for the Christian woman, the goal isn’t self-improvement — it’s sanctification.

In this powerful, grace-filled episode, Ingrid shares how years of chasing devotionals, routines, and discipline left her exhausted and empty until God showed her the difference between trying to be better and being made new.

Through Scripture and real-life reflection, she unpacks what sanctification looks like in your health, motherhood, and mindset — and how to stop striving in your own strength so the Holy Spirit can do the transforming work only He can do.

Scriptures referenced: Galatians 2:20, Romans 7:18-19, Philippians 1:6, John 15:5, 1 Thessalonians 4:3, Ephesians 2:10, 2 Peter 1:3
