Have you ever felt like you're spiritually drifting? Longing for a deeper relationship with Jesus, but unsure how to find your way back? In this powerful episode of the S.O.C.K.S. Podcast (Sisters Open 2 Christ's Kindred Spirit), host Trisha Mounce sits down with Angela Quinteros—certified Christian life coach and spiritual growth mentor—to talk about what it means to anchor yourself in Christ. Together, they unpack what it truly looks like to live unapologetically for Jesus, invest in a personal relationship with God, and build trust in Him—especially in the middle of trials, doubt, or spiritual drift. Whether you're a woman seeking spiritual growth, clarity in your calling, or just need a reminder that God sees you and is still pursuing your heart, this episode is for you.

👉 Key Takeaways:

Treat your relationship with God like any close relationship—intentionally and personally. The New Testament gives us direct access to God—the curtain has been torn! Trust is built through time, presence, and vulnerability with God. Living for Christ might make you stand out—and that's exactly the point. God doesn't call the equipped—He equips those He calls. You can live boldly and authentically even in a world that pressures compromise. Trials are tools that God uses to deepen your empathy and faith. Recognize how journaling, mentorship, and scripture study can enhance your walk. "Your life might be the only Bible someone ever reads."
