Episode 7 Releasing Control: Faith Over Force

Jun 6, 2025

💭 Introduction

Are you trying to do everything yourself… and wearing yourself out in the process?

In Episode 7 of the 13:22 Life Podcast, we’re talking about releasing control… a lesson God is walking me through in real time. From pushing through exhaustion to battling the planner mentality, I share what it looks like to actually trust God with your schedule, your business, your family, and your peace.

This isn’t a “sit back and do nothing” episode. It’s about realigning your efforts with God’s will and understanding when to let go of your need to control outcomes… especially when obedience doesn’t make sense.

📌 Favorite Quote

“Releasing control isn’t being lazy… it’s saying, ‘God, I trust You to do more than I ever could.’”

📝 Real Talk Reflection

This episode came from a real place. I’ve been walking through this lesson with God… not just hearing it in prayer, but seeing it in my everyday life. Releasing control looks like going to bed when He says go to bed… and trusting that He’ll send the right people to get the work done. It looks like missing a networking event to rest and not apologizing for it. It looks like letting go of revenge and choosing peace. It’s not easy. But it’s freeing.

I’m still a CPA. I still love a plan. But I’m learning that my backup plans don’t compare to God’s divine direction. When I finally surrendered, He sent help. He made space. He filled my calendar. And He showed me that I don’t have to carry it all. Neither do you.

So what does releasing control look like for you? Is it trusting God with your finances? Your business? Your timeline? Think about it… and pray about it.

Episode 1 Why I Started the Podcast + Fighting for Discipline as a Busy Parent

Apr 3, 2025

💭 Introduction

What does discipline look like as a busy parent trying to walk by faith?

In Episode 1 of the 13:22 Life Podcast, I’m opening up about why I launched this show and what it means to live with discipline as a busy parent. We’re getting real about the tension between consistency and chaos, obedience and overwhelm, and how to make faith a lifestyle… not just a Sunday moment.

If you’ve ever felt like your spiritual life is getting buried under a pile of laundry, school pickups, and business meetings… this episode is for you. I’ve been there. You love God, you want to grow, but the overwhelm of life makes it hard to show up consistently. That’s why I created this space: to have honest, faith-driven conversations that equip and encourage.

Encouragement to be consistent even when life gets messy

📌 Favorite Quote

“Discipline isn’t about perfection… it’s about getting back up when you miss the mark and keeping your eyes on your purpose.”

📝 Reflection

One thing I’ve learned about discipline as a busy parent is that it has nothing to do with ease and everything to do with intentionality. You won’t always feel motivated, but God is still worthy of your obedience… especially in the small, unseen moments.

Whether it’s waking up early to pray, showing patience when you’d rather not, or choosing to be present when you’re mentally drained, these decisions shape who you’re becoming. I’m still on this journey too, and I want this podcast to be a place where we grow together… not perform for perfection.

📅 What’s Coming Next

This season, we’ll dive into the tension between faith and feelings, tackle spiritual laziness, unpack how to actually hear God, and talk about what to do when you’ve missed the mark. Each episode is grounded in scripture and real life… because you don’t need another filter, you need freedom.
