If you want to know where your life is headed, listen to the words that are coming out of your mouth.

In this episode of The Resurrection Room, we examine the quiet power of language — not as positive thinking, but as identity formation. Scripture says we are “snared by the words of our mouth.” What does that actually mean? And how might your own sentences be reinforcing the very outcomes you’ve been praying to change?

We revisit the story of Zechariah and the moment heaven interrupted his doubt — not as punishment, but as protection.

Then we walk through how your words influence your identity, shape your perception, direct your behavior, and ultimately determine your outcomes.

You’ll learn: • Why negative sentences feel protective but create limitation • How your nervous system responds to repeated language • A simple reframing practice that shifts identity in real time • How to stop completing negative sentences before they shape your future

This week’s reflection challenge will help you catch your words, reframe them, and speak alignment out loud — so you can hear yourself become who you were meant to be.

Because your mouth is not casual.

It is directional.

And the future you’re walking toward may already be forming in the sentences you’re speaking today.

When Fear Loses It's Authority: Why the First Step Changes Everything

Why Fear Comes Back Even After Being Brave

When Your Nervous System Becomes Your Ally

The Resurrection of Regulation

You’ve taken the first step. You’ve followed through. And still, your body reacts.

In this episode of The Resurrection Room, we continue the conversation about fear—not as a failure, but as a signal that your nervous system is learning how to live in a new reality.

This episode explores why the body responds before thought, how fear and intuition can feel similar but lead in very different directions, and what it means to remain present and aligned when discomfort shows up. We look at fear not only as a biological response, but as a spiritual displacement—and how breaking agreement with fear allows you to live from the abundance God promised.

Blending neuroscience with Scripture, this episode is for anyone who believes God’s truth, has done the inner work, and is ready for their body to catch up with their faith.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why your nervous system reacts even after you’ve made the decision to change

• How reflexes explain the body’s response before conscious thought

• The difference between fear and intuition, and how to tell them apart

• Fear as a region that pulls us out of presence—and how to stay aligned

• How repetition and presence create new pathways of safety and abundance

I’m Kelli Shaw, and this is The Resurrection Room—where you rise to who you were always meant to be so you can live the life you were always meant to live.

What happens when you take the first brave step… and then fear shows up again?

In this episode of The Resurrection Room, Kelli answers the question she’s been hearing from listeners all week: “How do I keep going?”

This conversation explores why fear often returns after courage—and why that doesn’t mean anything went wrong.

Drawing from neuroscience, nervous system alignment, and the way professional athletes train their bodies through repetition, Kelli explains how real change happens quietly, through familiarity rather than force.

You’ll learn:

• Why courage doesn’t stick after a single moment

• How repetition teaches the nervous system safety

• The difference between intention and identity

• Why rhythm matters more than intensity

• How small, repeatable actions reshape who you become

Kelli also shares a simple, real-life practice called the Daily Courage Reset—a grounded rhythm you can return to when fear gets loud again.

This episode is part of an ongoing series for anyone who has started moving forward… and wants to learn how to stay there.

Fear doesn’t usually stop us because something bad is happening. It stops us because of what we imagine might happen.

In this episode of The Resurrection Room, Kelli shares the story of the Maasai warriors—men who walk calmly toward danger and, in doing so, cause fear to lose its power.

From there, the conversation turns inward.

Why are we so afraid of being seen trying?

When did imagined outcomes begin carrying more weight than our actual calling?

And what changes the moment we take the first step instead of waiting to feel ready?

Blending neuroscience, faith, and personal experience, this episode explores why fear thrives in hesitation but dissolves with movement. Kelli reflects on perfectionism, public failure, and the lessons we often teach our children more easily than ourselves—and offers a simple, practical exercise to help you identify the step you’ve been postponing.

This isn’t an episode about eliminating fear.

It’s about understanding it, disarming it, and learning how to move anyway.

If fear has been deciding for you, this conversation may help you take that authority back—one step at a time.

What if the thoughts you return to every day are shaping the life that keeps returning to you?

In this episode of The Resurrection Room, Kelli Shaw explores how every thought carries energy—and how the accumulation of those thoughts becomes your frequency, your nervous system baseline, and ultimately the results you experience in your life.

Blending neuroscience, nervous system awareness, and lived wisdom, Kelli breaks down why your brain is your most powerful gift, how repeated thinking trains your perception, and why two people can live in the same circumstances yet experience completely different realities.

Using a vivid visual of thoughts moving like rings of frequency around the body, this episode invites you to see how what you practice internally becomes the environment you live in externally—and how small, intentional shifts in thought can begin to change your emotional state, your decisions, and your direction.

This is the kind of work Kelli teaches her own high-schooler as a homeschool mom—and the kind of education she believes every person should have had growing up.

If you’ve felt stuck in repeating patterns, overwhelmed without knowing why, or ready to live with more clarity and alignment, this episode offers a grounded place to begin.

In this episode of The Resurrection Room, Kelli Shaw—certified integrative health coach and neuroscience researcher—breaks down the neuroscience of “resurrection”: how the brain forms familiar identity pathways, why your mind keeps pulling up an old version of you, and what it actually takes to build a new route.

You’ll learn:

• How childhood experiences can quietly shape the beliefs your nervous system still lives from

• Why change can feel uncomfortable—even when it’s good

• Why affirmations fall flat when your brain doesn’t have evidence yet

• A simple 3-step process to rewire: notice the old route, name the new identity, and prove it with small actions

• A quick “One Minute Reset” you can use the moment you feel yourself slipping back

Anchor statement: We work from the top down. Identity is always first. Then perception. Your perception creates your behavior, your behavior dictates your actions and your actions produce your results. Your results won’t change consistently until your identity does.

If you know someone who keeps calling their life a problem… when it’s actually a challenge… send them this episode. Sometimes the greatest gift isn’t advice—it’s a new lens.
