God Soaked Adoption & Redemption Story

For more than two decades, Stephen and his biological daughter, Celeste, lived in two different countries with an incomplete understanding of why they had never been part of each other’s lives.

Celeste was adopted as a baby by a loving family in Canada. While she always knew she was adopted and remained connected to her birth mother, she grew up believing her biological father had not completed the paperwork that would have allowed him to know her.

Meanwhile, Stephen had been told circumstances that led him to believe stepping away was the right thing to do. What neither of them fully understood was how much the other wanted a relationship.

In this deeply personal conversation, Stephen and Celeste share the misunderstandings that kept them apart, the letter Celeste wrote to him in her journal at 15 years old, the fears she had to overcome before reaching out, and what it felt like to finally hug each other for the first time.

Their story also touches on adoption, infertility, addiction and recovery, forgiveness, fear of rejection, God’s timing, and the decision to stop dwelling on the years that were lost and begin creating new memories together.

Stephen and Celeste wanted to share their story so others could see God’s hand in every part of it. Even when they could not see what He was doing, He was still carefully putting the pieces together.

Sometimes something incredibly beautiful is waiting on the other side of doing it afraid.

A note about the sound: This conversation was recorded away from my normal podcasting equipment. The audio may not have our usual quality, but this moment felt too important to miss. I hope you will listen past the imperfections and receive the heart of this remarkable story.

Fearless at 10 continues with a powerful story from Wisconsin. Today you’ll meet Alicia Gaede, a woman whose life was radically changed through the healing work of Jesus, biblical community, and the bold steps of obedience she took over the last year.

Alicia shares how she first connected with Fearless Unite during our ministry trips to her city, the emotional and spiritual battles she was facing, and the moment she realized she needed more than traditional counseling. That hunger led her into mental health coaching through Fearless, the Walk With Me discipleship program, and eventually an 11-hour solo drive to the Fearless Retreat that became the turning point of her life.

In this episode, you’ll hear:
 • The miracle-filled moments that showed Alicia God was speaking directly to her
 • How mental health coaching helped her understand body, soul, and spirit
 • The power of community and confession in breaking spiritual strongholds
 • How God delivered her from long-held fears around singleness and identity
 • The moment of freedom that opened her heart to start a ministry for singles
 • Why one starfish at a time is how revival really spreads

Alicia arrived at the retreat battling doubt, fear, and spiritual warfare. She left a new creation. Her courage, honesty, and transformation will inspire anyone longing for freedom, healing, and deeper intimacy with Jesus.

Fearless at 10 continues with one of the most radical transformation stories we’ve ever witnessed. Today I’m joined by my friend, Dr. Lauren Jordan — a brilliant chiropractor whose entire life, faith, motherhood, and career were turned upside down when Jesus collided with her scientific worldview.

For years, Lauren believed that science left no room for God. Her logical, structured mind struggled to reconcile faith with anatomy, physiology, and the predictable patterns of the human body. But everything shifted when she walked into her first Fearless retreat… and Jesus met her in the language she understood best: science.

In this episode, you will hear:

• How God used motherhood and the human body to break open Lauren’s worldview
 • The retreat moment when she heard the Holy Spirit so clearly she got baptized on the spot
 • How her hunger for Scripture exploded after her salvation
 • Why she opened her medical clinic to discipleship, prayer, and worship
 • How she now integrates body, soul, and spirit into her practice
 • The unexplainable spiritual encounters that pushed her deeper into discernment
 • The power of obedience and learning to hear God's voice
 • Her prophetic vision of where Fearless Unite is going in the next 10 years

If you’ve ever wrestled with the tension between faith and science, or if you’re in a season of awakening yourself, Lauren’s story will stir something deep inside you.

And yes… we talk about the Soul Center dream and the nationwide expansion of Walk With Me. Jesus is on the move.

Fearless at 10 continues with a powerful conversation that opens the door for men to step into the story of Fearless Unite. Today Christy interviews Wayne Glasgow, husband of long-time Fearless leader Alicia Glasgow.

Fearless Unite began as Fearless Women, but as the ministry grew, it became clear that anxiety does not pick sides. God began drawing men into discipleship, healing, and community, and Wayne is living proof of what happens when a man steps into vulnerability, forgiveness, and the Word of God.

In this episode Wayne shares
 • How his wife’s transformation sparked his own
 • Why men struggle to open up and how discipleship breaks that barrier
 • The moment God gripped his heart during a forgiveness message
 • How negativity keeps men bound and how Scripture sets them free
 • What led him to launch a men’s group in his local church
 • Why community is essential for healing, leadership, and spiritual growth
 • A word of encouragement rooted in Matthew 18 for anyone who feels lost

This episode will especially encourage men who feel alone, numb, or unsure where to begin. You will hear Wayne preach the Word, share honestly, and reveal how one obedient step can change entire communities.

Hello, fearless family. Fearless at 10 continues with my dear friend, Kesha Butler.

Kesha and I first met in the bleachers at our boys’ basketball games, but God quickly made it clear our connection was about so much more than sports. In this conversation, we talk about what it means to:

• Say yes to a deeper level of discipleship through our Walk With Me program
• Carry influence in the secular workplace while staying boldly and unapologetically rooted in Christ
• Practice discernment and wisdom together, especially when navigating hard spiritual spaces
• Spot counterfeit “wisdom” and legalism that looks holy on the outside but does not reflect the heart of Jesus
• Have honest, honoring conversations around race, justice, and unity without shaming each other or shutting down
• Take seriously the reality of spiritual darkness, generational strongholds, and how what we watch and listen to affects our souls
• Guard our “eye gates and ear gates,” confront unforgiveness, and walk in the authority Jesus gives us to resist the enemy

Kesha shares powerful stories from the healthcare field, from her own healing journey, and from inside our discipleship community. We talk about anxiety, darkness, church hurt, and what it could look like for a true revival of the church through one-soul-at-a-time discipleship.

If you’ve ever wrestled with fear, spiritual warfare, or how to bring your faith into your everyday spaces, this episode will strengthen your courage and your clarity.

Fearless At 10: Tara Welnick: Surrender, Spiritual Awakening, and Freedom

In this Fearless at 10: Stories of Freedom episode, Christy sits down with longtime Fearless friend and leader, Tara Welnick, to trace her journey from anxiety, postpartum anger, and spiritual confusion into a life of surrender, awakening, and freedom in Jesus.

Tara shares how:

• God met her in a simple, tear-filled moment in the kitchen as a young mom of three
• Her faith ignited long before her husband’s did, and how she learned to trust God with his pace and story
• The kingdom of darkness showed up in her home through voices, shadows, and tormenting dreams
• “Innocent” practices like crystals, angel cards, and psychic readings opened spiritual doors she did not realize were there
• Jesus led her, through the Free & Fearless arm of Fearless Unite, to close those doors and walk in authority and peace
• She now sees a prophetic picture of Fearless becoming a physical place where people can come, feel at home, and receive mental, emotional, and spiritual care

This episode will encourage anyone who is:

• A weary or anxious mom
• Walking with a spouse who is not in the same place spiritually
• Wondering how real spiritual warfare is
• Trying to discern what belongs in their home and what does not
• Hungry to see their community transformed by the power of Jesus

Podcast Description

Fearless Unite is officially 10 years old. To celebrate a decade of helping people overcome fear and anxiety in a world that feeds it, we are launching a special series called “Fearless at 10: Stories of Freedom.”

In this first episode, Christy sits down with her co-laborer and dear friend, Shaunna Coin, to share what it is really like behind the scenes of Fearless Unite. Shaunna went from retreat guest, to Impact Study participant, to running the ministry alongside Christy, and her story is a powerful picture of what happens when you say yes to accountability, challenge, and deep inner healing.

In this conversation, they talk about

• How stepping into ministry was “unexpected” and radically accelerated Shaunna’s spiritual growth
• What it is like to “peek behind the curtain” of a ministry and actually like what you see
• How God used a Freedom Thoughts study to confront Shaunna’s deep fear of death and set her free
• Why having a loving challenger in your life is essential if you want real freedom from fear and anxiety
• How God opened their eyes to the spiritual battle around mental health, oppression, and demonic torment
• The birth of Free and Fearless sessions and the long-term vision of the Soul Center
• Why mental health coaching scholarships and operational support are so critical in this season

You will hear honest stories about grief, spiritual warfare, trust, obedience, and the cost of saying yes to Jesus. You will also hear how God is using Fearless Mental Health Coaching to stand in the gap for people who cannot get the help they need in traditional systems.

Do you feel the weight of holding a relationship together that is falling apart? Are you battling anxiety from conflict, broken trust, or patterns that keep repeating? This episode of Fearless Tips and Talks dives into the truth many of us avoid: sometimes God calls us to create necessary distance.

In this powerful message, Christy Boulware and Dustin Thacker unpack how to navigate conflict, boundaries, and release in a healthy, Christ-centered way. You will learn:

• Why your relationship with God shapes every relationship you have
 • How to walk out humility, accountability, and confession
 • The difference between peacemaking and peacekeeping
 • How to follow the biblical process of conflict in Matthew 18
 • When boundaries become essential for emotional and spiritual health
 • Why some seasons require distance and why that does not mean failure
 • How lament opens the door for real healing
 • The freedom that comes when you stop forcing outcomes and start trusting God

If you deal with anxiety, overthinking, people pleasing, or the fear of disappointing others, this episode will speak directly to your heart. God cares about your peace, your healing, and your growth. He will guide you through every necessary ending and every new beginning.

Listen in and let God breathe courage and clarity into your next step.

Have you ever wondered if setting a boundary makes you a bad Christian, a selfish friend, or a dishonoring daughter or son? For years I wrestled with those questions and carried a lot of anxiety because I did not understand healthy, biblical boundaries.

In Talk 72: Healthy Love, Healthy Boundaries, I share a live teaching from my local church where we unpack what Scripture really says about burdens, responsibility, and love. We look at Galatians 6, explore the difference between helping someone carry a heavy crisis and carrying their everyday backpack of responsibility, and talk about why God honoring limits are actually an expression of love, not a rejection of it.

Inside this episode you will hear:

• A short recap of Talk 71, Facing Conflict God's Way, and why conflict has to be handled in a holy way first
• Real life examples of manipulation, spiritual pressure, and guilt that can leave you feeling trapped
• A simple, biblical framework for what you are responsible for and what you are not
• Questions to ask yourself when you are not sure if it is time to set a boundary
• Sample boundary statements you can adapt for your own relationships
• A powerful story of how God confirmed a very painful boundary through a prophetic word at just the right time

If you are feeling drained, resentful, confused, or anxious around a relationship, this conversation is for you. My prayer is that God uses it to help you release what he never asked you to carry and to love others more wisely, with truth, limits, and peace.

If you have not listened to Talk 71 yet, Facing Conflict God's Way, I recommend starting there and then coming back to this episode, since the two messages really belong together.

Conflict is part of life, but how we handle it determines whether it destroys peace or deepens growth. In Talk 71 of Fearless Tips and Talks, Christy shares a biblical and practical approach to facing conflict God’s way. From learning to think the best in others to watching your tone and taking responsibility, this episode will equip you to handle disagreements with grace, humility, and truth.

Christy walks through Philippians 4 and Matthew 18, revealing how conflict—when addressed with love and honesty—can sharpen us rather than divide us. You’ll leave this message encouraged, challenged, and ready to be a true peacemaker, not just a peacekeeper.

Listen in and learn the five T’s of facing conflict God’s way:
 Think the best. Timing. Take responsibility. Tell the truth in love. Tone.

Podcast Description (Fearless Tips & Talks – Talk 70: Trading Rules for Relationship)

In this powerful episode, Christy Boulware welcomes her friend Stephanie Gilbert from Pastors’ Wives Tell All to share a deeply personal story about breaking free from legalism and learning to walk in the freedom of relationship with Jesus.

Stephanie grew up in a church culture where rules outweighed grace—where fear, guilt, and performance defined faith. Through her journey, she discovered that God’s heart has always been for relationship, not religion.

Together, Christy and Stephanie unpack what legalism looks like today, how it quietly seeps into our hearts, and how to trade striving for peace by returning to the simplicity of loving God and others.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re never “enough” in your faith, or struggled to separate conviction from shame, this episode will speak straight to your heart.

🕊 Listen in and be reminded: God never asked for perfection—He invited you into His presence.

Talk 68: Hearing From God, Part 1 with Christy and Layla
How do you actually hear God’s voice in real life, not just in theory? In Part 1, Christy sits down with Layla, a student pastor and trusted coworker in Christ, to unpack what Scripture says and how to practice hearing God daily. We cover the Fivefold gifts, why hearing God moves faith from rules to relationship, practical ways to discern His voice, and a powerful story about a student who heard “Doritos” and watched God confirm it on the streets of Orlando.

What you will learn

• Why hearing God is for every believer, not a select few
• How to tell the difference between God’s voice, your thoughts, and the enemy
• Simple steps to practice: be still, watch, wait, write, withdraw, listen
• How the Fivefold gifts help the church hear and respond together
• Guardrails so “God told me” stays humble, biblical, and loving

Scriptures mentioned
John 10:3, 5, 27 • Romans 10:17 • Hebrews 4:12 • 2 Timothy 3:16–17 • Hebrews 1:1–2 • Exodus 3 • 1 Kings 19:11–13 • Acts 13:2 • Numbers 22:21–35 • Acts 2:17 • Psalm 46:10 • Habakkuk 2:1–2 • Mark 1:35 • Luke 10:38–42 • 1 Corinthians 3:9 • Ephesians 4:11–16

Key takeaways

• Hearing God is a relationship skill you can practice
• God speaks in ways that align with His Word and character
• Encouragement and edification are safe places to start
• Use a humble posture: “I sense” or “I feel the Lord may be saying”
• Write down impressions and look for confirmation

What if the hardest person to confront isn’t someone else—but the Haman within?

In this powerful message, Shaunna Coin takes us on a deeply personal journey through pride, conviction, confession, and forgiveness. Drawing from the story of Esther, she reveals how unchecked pride, bitterness, and silence can destroy relationships and rob us of peace—and how humility and repentance open the door to healing and freedom.

Through honest storytelling, biblical truth, and Spirit-led reflection, you’ll learn:
 ✨ How conviction is actually God’s mercy
 ✨ Why confession is the gateway to restoration
 ✨ How pride blinds us—and how humility breaks those chains
 ✨ What it really means to confront the “Haman” within your own heart

If you’ve ever struggled to admit when you’re wrong, to ask for forgiveness, or to release bitterness—this message will speak straight to your soul.

We often think testimonies have to be dramatic or life-changing, but sometimes they happen right in the middle of our everyday chaos—like when there’s literal poop on the wall.

In this message, Tara Welnick shares her testimony and reminds us that even in our mess, God is faithful, present, and working behind the scenes. Whether your story feels small or mighty, it’s proof of His goodness.

💬 Tara’s message will encourage you to see that your testimony doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be proof that God showed up.

🙏 Key Themes:

• What a “testimony” really means (biblically and personally)
• Finding God in ordinary, hard, or chaotic moments
• Learning to lay your burdens down and let Him step in

📖 Scripture Inspiration:
Revelation 12:11 — “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.”

❤️ If this message encourages you, please like, comment, and share it with someone who needs to be reminded that God shows up even in the mess.

Talk 64: Freedom From Shame

In this deeply moving episode, my dear friend Becky shares her raw and powerful testimony of how shame, grief, and depression once held her captive — and how Jesus set her free. From suicidal thoughts in her teenage years, to the heartbreaking loss of multiple children, to the struggle of leading worship while wrestling with anxiety and shame, Becky opens her heart with honesty and courage.

You’ll hear the moment chains began to fall, the tangible presence of God in her pain, and even a song that flowed straight from her healing. It’s not polished audio, but it’s a real-life glimpse of a woman who has been transformed by God’s relentless love.

If you’ve ever felt buried by shame or wondered if God could meet you in your deepest grief, this episode is for you.

Tip 40: How To Be Still

In a world that constantly pushes hustle, hurry, and endless distractions, learning how to be still before the Lord can feel nearly impossible. Our brains are addicted to fake dopamine hits from scrolling, binge-watching, or staying “busy,” leaving little room for true rest in God’s presence.

In this teaching, I walk you through what “being still” really means, why Jesus modeled it for us in Scripture, and how you can begin to practice it in your own life. You’ll learn:

• Why our culture resists stillness
• The connection between distraction, dopamine, and our distance from God
• How Jesus retreated for prayer before and after big moments
• Practical tools to quiet racing thoughts and place your worries in God’s hands

Be encouraged—it may feel uncomfortable at first, but with practice, stillness will become a powerful rhythm that draws you deeper into the Lord’s presence.

✨ Sticky statement from this video: “If we are constantly stimulated and our thoughts are moving at a hundred miles per hour, how will we ever hear from the Lord?”

📖 Scriptures mentioned: Matthew 14:22–23, Mark 1:35

Description

Are you living distracted? In this message, Christy Boulware gets real about the ways phones, social media, and even endless “knowledge” can quietly rob us of peace, joy, and time with God.

From sabbaticals that didn’t fix the problem to shocking stats on how often we pick up our phones, Christy shares her own journey of conviction—and why she believes distraction may be the greatest discipleship challenge of our time.

But this isn’t just about phones. It’s about what’s happening in our souls. Drawing from Scriptures like Matthew 11:28 (“Come to me, all who are weary…”) and Ecclesiastes 1:18 (“the more knowledge, the more grief”), Christy explores why constant information and divided attention keep us from the rest Jesus promised.

You’ll hear personal stories, insights from addiction recovery principles, and even wisdom passed down from her husband’s 103-year-old grandpa. More importantly, you’ll be invited to set boundaries, fight for focus, and rediscover the peace that comes only from keeping company with Christ.

Key Scriptures:

Matthew 11:28–30

Ecclesiastes 1:18

James 4:4

Matthew 16:21–26

Whether you struggle with your phone, endless busyness, or just feeling pulled in too many directions, this message is a call back to what matters most: walking with Jesus in freedom and rest.

Watch now, and ask: Where am I allowing distraction to steal from me? And am I bold enough to change it?

Conflict creates one of the greatest sources of anxiety in our lives. Many of us believe that avoiding conflict will bring peace...but in reality it only creates more pressure, more worry, and more chaos.

In this episode, I share how to approach conflict from a biblical perspective—starting with Matthew 18 and the call to go directly to the person. We’ll talk about timing, tone, and posture...how to look at the plank in your own eye first...and why humility always goes first.

I’ll also explain how to handle conflict differently when it’s Christian to Christian compared to when it’s Christian to non-Christian, and how to set healthy boundaries when needed.

True intimacy is not the absence of conflict. It is working through conflict prayerfully and humbly and coming out stronger on the other side.

Fearless Tips and Talks is back unpolished and unproduced...raw, real, and prayerful. I may not have the budget for production this season, but I believe the content matters more than the polish. So I’m showing up with truth and tools to help you find peace and freedom in your everyday life.

What happens when God takes away the very things we use to define ourselves—Less of Me, More of Him – Learning the Humble Way of a True Disciple

What happens when God takes away the very things we use to define ourselves—our titles, our roles, our control?

In this message, Alisha shares one of the hardest yet most transformative seasons of her life, including the humbling reality of jail, and how God used it to teach her what true discipleship looks like.

Humility isn’t weakness—it’s shifting from self-reliance to God-dependence. It’s letting go of performance-based faith and embracing the freedom of presence-based faith. It’s learning to trust that where our strength ends, His strength begins.

Together we’ll look at three powerful truths:

1. Humility Starts with Recognizing Our Need (Matthew 5:3)
2. Humility Frees Us from the Pressure to Perform (Micah 6:8)
3. Humility Makes Us Teachable and Transformable (James 4:6)

Key Verse: “He must become greater; I must become less.” – John 3:30

If you’ve ever felt crushed under the weight of shame, exhausted from striving, or afraid to admit your need for God—this message is for you.

Watch until the end for a prayer of surrender, asking God to shape us into disciples who live with open hands, humble hearts, and a deep dependence on Him.

Anxiety is hard enough—but what about the fear of anxiety itself? So many of us live in dread of when fear might rise up again, and that cycle keeps us stuck. In today’s episode, I’m sharing a prayerful and practical approach to breaking free from the fear of fear.

Together, we’ll reflect on 2 Timothy 1:7, and I’ll guide you through simple ways to invite God’s peace into anxious moments: prayer, meditating on Scripture, journaling, and even going for a walk to notice His creation.

Remember: fear is a signal, not a sentence. God has given you a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind—and you don’t have to fight fear alone.

📖 Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:7
 🙏 Practices: prayer, journaling, Scripture meditation, noticing God’s creation

This conversation is raw, real, and necessary.

In this episode, I sit down with my dear friends from Pastors’ Wives Tell All to open up about a topic that has deeply impacted my journey—spiritual abuse, church hurt, and the evolving role of women in leadership. We unpack:

• What is spiritual abuse?
• How do we define church hurt?
• Why have these experiences shifted the way I advocate for mental health within the Church?

This episode meant so much to me that I asked permission to share it on Fearless Tips & Talks, because I know it will speak to many of you who have wrestled silently in these spaces.

Whether you’ve been hurt by church leadership, questioned your place in ministry, or just need language for what you’ve walked through—this episode is for you.

You’re not alone.

In this powerful and honest conversation, Christy Boulware is joined by her husband Troy and pastors Devin and Dustin Thacker to explore what the Church should be—and where it’s gone wrong. Together, they dive into personal experiences, spiritual abuse, unhealthy leadership models, and the corporate mindset that has crept into many churches. From the pain of being discarded to the misuse of titles and programs over people, this episode holds space for real talk and real healing.

They also cast a hopeful vision of restoration: one rooted in discipleship, roundtable leadership, healthy conflict resolution, and a return to servant-hearted community. Whether you've been hurt by the Church or are longing to be part of a healthier one, this episode offers both empathy and direction.

Oh—and don’t miss the lighthearted French fry draft at the end!

In this episode, we take a closer look at the honest doubts of two of Jesus' closest followers—Peter and Thomas. Peter doubted himself and denied Jesus. Thomas doubted the resurrection and needed proof. And yet, Jesus met them both with grace, not shame.

If you've ever wrestled with questions like: Is God really good? Can I trust Him? Did He actually rise from the dead?—you're not alone. Doubt doesn’t disqualify you. But it is an invitation to deeper faith.

It’s time to stop living faithless and start walking in resurrection power. Let’s talk about how Jesus meets us in our questions, restores our belief, and calls us to follow Him—even when we’re unsure.

God can handle your doubts. He just doesn’t want you to stay in them.

Have you ever experienced pain so deep that you didn’t even know how to talk to God about it? Maybe you've prayed, but instead of comfort, you felt unheard—like your words were hitting the ceiling.

Have you ever wrestled with questions like:

Why did this happen?
Where were You, God?
How am I supposed to move forward?
If so, you’re not alone. The Bible is filled with faithful people who struggled with pain, disappointment, and doubt. They didn’t suppress their grief or pretend to be okay—they lamented.

Control Is an Illusion

Anxiety is at an all-time high, with nearly half of Americans experiencing a diagnosable mental health condition in their lifetime. I know this struggle firsthand—I was one of those statistics. In 2011, I was diagnosed with severe panic and anxiety disorder, believing the lie that I could control everything. But control is an illusion, and trying to hold onto it only leads to exhaustion and fear.

In this episode, I share my journey from anxiety and self-reliance to full surrender to Jesus. True peace isn’t found in control, but in trusting the One who holds it all. We’ll explore why surrender is the key to freedom and how shifting our perspective can bring lasting peace.

If you're tired of striving, overwhelmed by fear, or simply searching for a deeper sense of purpose, this episode is for you.

Want to go deeper? My book Nervous Breakthrough shares my full story and how I found freedom from fear and anxiety.

Hey, Fearless Family! Today, I’m sharing something truly special—one of my all-time favorite events. It was a small, intimate evening in Wisconsin that we called Undone—a night of music, testimony, and raw, honest connection.

I had the privilege of sharing the stage with Jesse Hamble, an incredible worship leader who has battled fear and anxiety. Through his powerful testimony and original songs, we experienced the beauty of vulnerability and worship in a way that was deeply moving.

This episode is different from anything I’ve shared before—part music, part testimony, and a message that I believe will deeply encourage you.

Find Jesse's Music here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0jKaDb6yOSLEwjhC3is1qc?si=Zs_0AJ7tRk6YHw8abEVXSw&nd=1&dlsi=4a8eab49d8144790

Discerning God's Voice from Lies

In this episode, we explore how to discern God's voice amidst the noise of fear, lies, and anxiety that the enemy often plants in our minds. Building on the foundational truth of John 10:27, that God's sheep hear His voice, we dive into John 10:10 to uncover how the enemy's agenda is to steal, kill, and destroy our peace and trust in God.

Christy shares her personal journey with anxiety, fear, and an autoimmune diagnosis, revealing how the enemy’s lies have tried to steal her peace. Through practical examples, including her battle with health fears, Christy explains the importance of renewing your mind with God's Word (Romans 12:2) and taking thoughts captive to make them obedient to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5).

You'll hear how God’s still, small voice brings peace and assurance, and why He never dangles suffering over His children. Whether you're struggling with fears about health, finances, or relationships, this episode will equip you with biblical truths to silence the enemy and walk in God’s love, power, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

Tune in for encouragement, practical tips, and the life-changing reminder that God speaks peace, not fear, over His children.

In this powerful episode of the Unite Series: Connecting our Wellness; Body, Soul & Spirit, I’m honored to introduce a truly remarkable woman, Alisha Glasgow (I call her Lish). 

With over two decades of experience working with individuals facing mental illness and developmental disabilities, she is a fierce advocate for the Deaf community, fluent in American Sign Language, and a creative soul who finds joy in crafting, softball, and all things sparkly.

But Lish’s journey is not just about her professional life—it's a story of redemption, grace, and transformation. Through personal adversity, including a season of brokenness that led to time in jail, she found the courage to confess her sins, embrace grace, and walk in freedom. Today, she inspires others with her vulnerability and her unwavering commitment to serving those in need.

Join us as we dive deep into Lish’s story in Fearless Felon, exploring the power of forgiveness, the role of faith in overcoming shame, and how her past fuels her passion to uplift others. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking hope, healing, and the courage to move forward with grace.

In this enlightening episode of Fearless Tips and Talks, host Christy Boulware continues the Unite Series, exploring the intricate connections between mental, spiritual, and emotional health within the church. Joined by Kayleigh Clark, an ordained elder and ThD candidate, they delve into the profound impact of collective trauma on congregational health and flourishing.

Kayleigh shares insights from her research on how trauma—particularly collective and religious trauma—affects the body of Christ, often leading to a guarded and fearful community. They discuss the importance of recognizing and diagnosing unhealed trauma within churches and the critical role that pastors and leaders play in fostering healing. Kayleigh emphasizes the need for pastors to understand their own triggers, seek trauma-informed care for themselves, and create safe spaces within their churches for lament and restoration.

The conversation also touches on the challenges of dealing with individuals who seem stuck in their trauma, the importance of healthy conflict resolution, and the detrimental effects of shame on relationships within the church. This episode is a must-listen for church leaders, pastors, and anyone interested in creating a healthier, more resilient church community.

In this powerful episode of the Fearless Tips and Talks podcast, we conclude our Steadfast series with a special guest, Brooklynn Glasgow. Fresh off her high school graduation in May, Brooklynn is about to embark on a new chapter at Graceland University, where she'll be studying pre-occupational therapy and playing collegiate softball.

Brooklynn opens up about her personal journey, sharing how anxiety and depression have shaped her life, especially following a significant family event that left her at rock bottom. She discusses the impact of the rumor mill and the importance of standing up for what's right, offering advice for those facing similar challenges.

Brooklynn also dives deep into her experiences with loneliness, losing friends, and battling her own mental health during her senior year. She bravely shares how a fostering situation led to a painful blowup, but ultimately, how she found the courage to forgive, and how that forgiveness played a key role in alleviating her anxiety.

Medication, pride, and the struggle to regain her happiness are all on the table, as Brooklynn reflects on her journey from a place of despair—sleeping all the time, barely eating—to rediscovering her energy, motivation, and joy beyond sports.

Brooklynn offers insights on what she would do differently, the dangers of emotional stuffing, and most importantly, the lessons Jesus taught her through these trials, including the value of not leaning too heavily on relationships and the power of prayer, even before games.

This episode is a heartfelt and inspiring conversation that you won't want to miss. Tune in as Brooklynn Glasgow shares her story of resilience, faith, and finding her way back to happiness.

Jenai’s work stands out for its raw and revealing examination of what it means to feel 'othered' within the context of faith communities.

In this episode, Jenai defines what it means to be ‘othered’ and discusses the significant role of naming one's ache as a crucial step towards healing. She challenges listeners to confront and call out the misuse of power, as she reflects on how such dynamics are antithetical to the teachings and actions of Jesus, who championed the cause of the marginalized.

Furthermore, Jenai shares why it is crucial to create spaces for lament and the importance of prophetic voices in today’s churches. 

Listeners will also gain insights into dealing with cognitive dissonance between preached values and observed behaviors within their communities, and receive practical advice for those currently feeling 'othered.'

Tune in to this transformative discussion that not only highlights the challenges within faith communities but also provides hope and pathways towards a more inclusive and empathetic church environment.

In this compelling episode of the Resilience in the Pews series, Christy sits down with her good friend and fellow Enneagram 8 friend,  Jessica Taylor to explore the theme "Your View Isn’t Their View", focusing on tackling anxiety and healing from church wounds.  

As co-pastors, Jessica and her husband have turned their past church wounds into a mission of healing and understanding within their own ministry.

Jessica discusses the importance of loyalty—a trait deeply ingrained in her and something she values immensely in both personal and spiritual contexts. She shares insights into how this trait has influenced her life and leadership, and reflects on whether loyalty should hold as much importance for others as it does for her.

Through her journey, Jessica encountered significant challenges, including dealing with differing perspectives among close friends which led to deep wounds. She offers advice on navigating such emotionally charged situations, especially for those who, like her, have a high loyalty meter.

Additionally, Jessica recounts how her "challenger personality" played a role in both exacerbating and healing her past church wounds. She opens up about the anxiety this tension caused and the strategies she employed to cope with it.

In their current pastoral roles, Jessica and her husband are committed to not repeating the mistakes that led to their own spiritual injuries. They have implemented specific steps in their church leadership to foster a nurturing and inclusive community.

This episode is especially meaningful for anyone struggling to trust or find their place in a church community again. Jessica provides hopeful insights and practical steps for rebuilding trust and finding a supportive faith community. Tune in for a story of resilience, perspective, and the power of a healed heart to lead others toward healing.

Jessica Taylor is a mother, speaker, nonprofit owner, author, and co-host of the podcast, Pastors’ Wives Tell All. She is a dynamic leader and creative, who runs Come Away missions, a nonprofit serving the people of Rwanda, Africa.

In this inspiring episode of the Resilience in the Pews series, we dive into the remarkable life of Hilda, whose story of faith and determination unfolds in unexpected ways. Our episode, titled "Unexpected Miracles," explores how Hilda, despite being physically limited to a tricycle and later a wheelchair, overcame immense challenges and societal stigmas from her upbringing in Cameroon to finding her true community and calling in journalism.

Hilda’s journey began with her family seeking help from a witch doctor, a common practice in her culture for those deemed "cursed" due to disabilities. She shares her terrifying experiences and how her budding faith in Jesus provided protection and strength during these dark times. The conversation also touches on the painful yet all-too-common experiences of misguided healing services within the Christian community, which tested her faith but never broke her spirit.

One of the most profound parts of Hilda's story is her battle with severe depression, which led her to the brink of suicide. She discusses this dark period with candor, offering hope and advice to others who may be facing similar struggles. The unexpected miracle here is her survival and continued faith in God’s plan for her life.

As Hilda navigated through college, she found her tribe—a community that showed her the true meaning of Jesus's love and support. She shares a poignant story about her advocacy for a new wheelchair, demonstrating her resilience and ability to effect change. Inspired by another person's story of overcoming physical limitations, Hilda realized her own potential to make a significant impact.

Now a successful journalist, Hilda uses her platform to share stories of faith, resilience, and the power of unexpected miracles. Join us as Hilda imparts her wisdom and insights, proving that miracles don’t always look like you'd expect, but they come just when you need them most. This episode is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of faith.
