What if the very thing God is asking you to do right now… is to stop?

Stop striving. Stop filling every empty moment. Stop trying to control everything. And simply be still.

In Episode 10 of From Brokenness to Freedom, we're closing out Season 1 with a deeply personal conversation about Obedience and Rest—and why sometimes the hardest act of obedience is learning to trust God enough to stop.

For Lilian, rest has never come naturally. Being productive, organized, and constantly busy has been part of her identity for years. But recently, the Holy Spirit has been challenging her to recognize that even good responsibilities can become burdens when we try to carry them in our own strength.

She opens up about a vulnerable experience during a recent hurricane, when exhaustion, frustration, and the pressure of making decisions revealed something deeper: her struggle to surrender control and fully trust the Lord.

Angela shares her own journey of learning to be still, how practicing solitude and silence has transformed her relationship with Jesus, and why obedience isn't always about doing more.

Sometimes obedience means stopping long enough to listen.

Together, we talk about busyness, surrender, renewing our minds, recognizing God's voice, and learning to rest in His presence.

We also ask some challenging questions:

• Are we so busy doing things for God that we're neglecting time with Him?
• Are we asking Him for direction but not making time to listen?
• Have we made productivity part of our identity?
• What are we carrying that God never asked us to carry?

Jesus reminds us in Matthew 11:28–30 that He invites the weary and burdened to come to Him and find rest.

And Psalm 46:10 tells us:

"Be still, and know that I am God."

Maybe being still isn't simply about sitting in silence. Maybe it's about recognizing that He is God, we are not, and we can trust Him with everything He's entrusted to us.

As we close our first season, we reflect on the four pillars we've walked through together:

Radical Honesty • Inner Healing • Identity • Purpose

And we're learning that walking in freedom requires daily surrender, obedience, and rest in Jesus.

We're taking a short break to pray, seek the Lord, and prepare for Season 2, but we'll continue sharing encouragement along the way!

Thank you for walking through these first ten episodes with us. Every conversation, testimony, laugh, and lesson has been an opportunity to point back to Jesus. He gets all the glory! 🤍

So we want to leave you with this question:

What if your next step of obedience isn't doing more, but trusting God enough to be still?

🎙️ Episode 10: When God Calls You to Be Still | Learning to Rest in Obedience

We'd love to hear from you: Is rest something that comes naturally to you, or is God teaching you how to be still too?

We'll see you in Season 2! 🤍

What if you've been searching for your purpose… when God has already placed you right where He wants to use you?

What if your purpose isn't waiting for you in the next career, ministry, opportunity, or season of life?

What if it begins with obedience right where you are?

In Episode 9 of From Brokenness to Freedom, we're stepping into our fourth pillar: Purpose. And after walking through radical honesty, inner healing, and identity, we're asking a question that changes everything:

Now that I know whose I am, how do I live for Him?

For so long, we believed purpose had to look like something significant. A successful career. A ministry. A calling that people could recognize. Something that made us feel accomplished.

But what if we've been measuring purpose by what we do instead of who we're doing it for?

In this episode, we share how God has been shifting our understanding of purpose—from striving to surrender, from chasing success to walking in obedience, and from asking "What can I accomplish?" to asking "Lord, how can You use me today?"

Lilian opens up about how she once overlooked the purpose God had already given her in motherhood because she was searching for something more. And how learning to embrace that season changed the way she approached new opportunities, work, and ministry.

Angela shares an incredible testimony of God's faithfulness after thirteen years of praying for her husband, and how witnessing his recent encounter with Jesus has brought a whole new understanding of surrender, obedience, and trusting God's timing.

Together, we talk about comparison, spiritual gifts, stewardship, the fruit of the Spirit, making disciples, and learning to recognize God's purpose in ordinary moments.

Because your purpose doesn't have to look like someone else's.

It might look like raising your children to know Jesus.

It might look like showing kindness to someone at work.

It might look like encouraging a friend, praying for someone, serving your family, or simply being faithful with what God has entrusted to you today.

And sometimes, your purpose in a season is to rest, be still, and allow God to fill you before you pour into others.

"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." — Ephesians 2:10

You were created intentionally.

You have gifts that God can use.

And you don't have to compare your calling to anyone else's.

Because the goal isn't to build a life that makes our name known.

It's to live a life that makes Jesus known. 🤍

Maybe you've been so focused on discovering what's next that you've missed what God is doing right now.

So we want to leave you with this question:

What if walking in your purpose begins with being faithful right where God has you today?

We pray this conversation encourages you to stop comparing, start trusting, and experience the freedom of walking in obedience to Jesus.

We would love to hear from you in the comments: What is one way God is teaching you to walk in purpose in your current season?

Who are you when you take away the titles?

Not “wife.”
Not “mom.”
Not your career.
Not what you’re good at.
Not what you’ve accomplished.
Not even the roles you love most.

Who are you then?

In Episode 8 of From Brokenness to Freedom, we’re stepping into another one of our pillars: Identity—and getting honest about how easily we can build our identity around good things that were never meant to carry the weight of defining us.

For Lilian, motherhood became so intertwined with her identity that her children’s behavior could feel like a reflection of her worth as a mother. For Angela, becoming a mom and pouring herself into that role eventually left her feeling like she had lost parts of herself. And both of us have had to learn that even the most beautiful roles God gives us cannot tell us who we are.

Because motherhood was never meant to carry your identity.

Your marriage was never meant to carry your identity.

Your success, ministry, career, gifts, failures, or other people’s opinions were never meant to carry it either.

Only the One who created you can.

In this conversation, we talk about misplaced identity, perfectionism, motherhood, marriage, expectations for our children, the labels spoken over us when we were younger, discovering the gifts God placed within us, and why knowing whose we are changes the way we walk in our purpose.

We also open Scripture and look at what God actually says about those who are in Christ:

You are chosen.
You are adopted.
You are accepted.
You are redeemed.
You are God’s precious possession.
You are a new creation.
You are a citizen of Heaven.
You belong to Christ.

And when your identity is rooted there, the things you love no longer have to carry a weight they were never designed to hold.

Because before you can fully walk in what God created you to do, you need to know who you are—and whose you are.

So we want to leave you with the same question we wrestled with:

If you weren’t allowed to introduce yourself by your roles, relationships, accomplishments, or titles…

Who would you say you are?
