Welcome back to Supporting Sisters, a biblical and practical podcast for Christian women who want emotional strength, mental clarity, and a deeper walk with God.

🎙 Episode 10 wraps up Season 1 with a powerful question:

What is holding you back from becoming the woman God created you to be?

In this episode, Kim Chalmers digs into the real obstacles Christian women face—fear, shame, guilt, negative self-talk, people-pleasing, comparison, and letting our past define us. She goes deep into Scripture and real-life application to help you break through what’s been weighing you down.

Kim also walks through biblical examples—Moses, Gideon, Jonah, Martha, Sarah, and the Samaritan woman—to show how God uses imperfect, overwhelmed, doubting people for His purpose.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, unworthy, or unsure of your place in God’s plan… this episode is your turning point.
