This episode marks a new season of Love Letters from Lys!!!

Today, we’re talking about what it really looks like to walk in obedience before you understand the full plan. I’m sharing my heart behind the podcast rebrand, the story of how Red Letter Saves came to life, and the quiet ways God has been teaching me to choose faith over control.

We reflect on highs, lows, and holy moments, explore how to discern God’s voice, and talk through a practice called listening prayer—creating space to hear from Him instead of rushing ahead for answers.

If you’re in a season where God is asking you to trust Him without clarity, to move without a map, or to surrender control before understanding—this episode is for you.

🤍 You don’t need all the answers to take the next step.🎧 Come sit with me.

What do you do when you’re curious about God… but unsure where to start?
When you love Him, but feel lukewarm?
When you’ve been hurt by church?
When you’re standing somewhere in the middle?

In today’s episode, I’m speaking directly to the one on the fence — and sharing what God has been teaching me in real time about grace, obedience, relationships, community, and daily faith. I open up about my recent season with God, what it looks like to step off the fence one small step at a time, and how choosing Him doesn’t just change your faith life — it changes everything.

I’m also sharing a very special ministry update that the Lord placed on my heart:
✨ Red Letters Save ✨
On January 15, we’ll be gathering to worship, pray, and hand-write letters to people God places on our hearts — speaking life, truth, and the love of Jesus over them and sending it in the mail. This is a gentle, personal way to share the Gospel and remind people they are seen and loved.

If you’ve been feeling curious, stuck, weary, or quietly longing for more — this episode is for you.

🎧 Topics in this episode:

• What it means to live “on the fence” with God

• Being saved by grace, not performance (Ephesians 2)

• How the enemy uses insecurity and shame

• Learning to love, trust, and surrender control in relationships

• Finding community + witnessing fruit through obedience

• Red Letters Save ministry vision & invitation

If this episode speaks to you, share it with someone who might be on the fence too. 🤍

This episode is for the one who feels a little lost right now — the one trying to trust God but not sure what He’s doing. I’ve been there. Honestly, I’m still there sometimes.

In this episode, I share a story from a season that felt like the wilderness — where everything felt quiet and uncertain, but God was still moving behind the scenes. If life feels heavy or unclear, I hope this reminds you that what looks like waiting might actually be preparation. God hasn’t forgotten you. 🤍

Good morning, my sweet friend. Let’s start this day by slowing down and breathing in God’s peace. 💌 In this short practice, we’ll take a few deep breaths, pray together, and rest in God’s Word so you can step into your day with peace instead of panic.

My hope is that this becomes your safe place to breathe, reset, and remember the truth: you are not alone, God is with you, and His peace goes with you today.

Hi my sweet friend,

This episode is the gentle beginning of a new three-part guided meditation series on Love Letters from Lys: To the Anxious Heart, Mind, and Body.

If you’ve ever felt your thoughts racing, your chest tightening, or your body unable to rest, you’re not alone. In those moments, we need a simple way to pause and return to God’s presence. That’s what these meditations are for—anchored in scripture, prayer, and breath work to help you step back into peace.

Here’s what’s ahead:

• To: The Anxious Heart — for mornings, to root yourself before the day begins.

• To: The Anxious Mind — for the middle of the day, when stress hits and thoughts spiral.

• To: The Anxious Body — for evenings, when you’re ready to release the day and rest in God’s presence.

Each meditation is about 10 minutes, and my prayer is that they become something you return to again and again—whenever your heart, mind, or body needs peace.

Hi my sweet friends! 💌 Welcome to Season 3 of Love Letters from Lys. In this episode, I’m getting really honest about something I’ve been learning (and still wrestling with): that love is both a choice we make and a gift we bravely receive.

I share pieces of my own story—growing up in an unpredictable home, learning to control everything to feel safe—and how God’s steady love has been gently loosening my grip. Together we’ll walk through Scriptures like 1 Corinthians 13, 1 John 4:19, and Psalm 46:10 to see that His love is not something we earn.

You’ll hear practical ways to: ✨ release control and trust God’s plan ✨ receive love from Him and from others without striving ✨ practice Sabbath rest and invite friends to pray with you

If you’ve ever felt like you had to keep it all together to be loved, this one’s for you. Let’s learn to love—and let ourselves be loved—right where we are. 💛

🎙️ Soundbites

“Love is a choice—a choice to love and a choice to be loved. And if we’re honest, both of those choices can be hard.”

“This passage isn’t about us trying harder; it’s about God. This is how God already loves us—yesterday, today, and forever.”

“Nothing you do today will make God love you more. Nothing you’ve done will make Him love you less. Your worth rests completely on the unshakable love of God.”

“Each morning, open your palms and pray: ‘Lord, I release today to You.’ Be still and know that He is God.”
