        <description>Are you a Christian in leadership struggling to hear God’s voice for your situation right now? Do you wonder if you’re really hearing His voice or if it&#039;s just you? Are you worried that you’re not fulfilling His purpose for your life? Do you long to be confident in your identity in Christ – secure in knowing who He is and who He says you are?

We are so excited you&#039;re here! This podcast will help you overcome lies that have been holding you back, hear God more clearly, rest in His purpose for your life, and find the peace that comes with knowing who you are.

Hey, we’re Josh and Corina, parents, and Spirit-filled believers who have worked together in ministry for the last 20 years. Too many of those years were spent stuck, feeling like we’d never live up to our potential or fulfill the call of God on our lives..

We were trying to be faithful, doing Bible studies, reading books, and trying harder, but nothing brought the change we needed.

We finally realized that if we wanted a new outcome, we needed new beliefs that would lead to new actions. We learned how to hear God clearly, implement the Truth He imparted, and partner with what He wants for our lives. And we want to teach you to do the same thing!

If you are ready to finally have the Holy Spirit-inspired, practical steps you need to renew your mind in order to… 
Hear God clearly for your life,
Discover your identity in Christ, 
Walk in the confidence that comes from knowing your purpose,
And become who God called you to be – this podcast is for you!

So grab your coffee and your Bible. It’s time to jump in.

<li>How to move from discouragement to hope</li>
<li>Why thanksgiving is a gateway into God’s presence</li>
<li>How to practice gratitude in everyday life</li>
</ul>
<p>Josh and Corina also walk through three practical ways to practice gratitude from Psalm 119:</p>
<ul>
<li>Meditate on God’s wonderful works</li>
<li>Set your heart on His ways</li>
<li>Cling to His testimonies</li>
</ul>
<p>This episode will help you:</p>
<ul>

Cling to His testimonies

                                            <![CDATA[<p>Ministry isn’t just “church work.” It’s how you love, lead, serve, and show up—at home, at work, and in your community. But when ministry starts to feel heavy, exhausting, or isolating, it’s a signal that something needs to shift.</p>
<p>In this episode, Josh and Corina share what they learned after years of juggling work, family life, and full-time volunteer ministry—and the 3 habits that help you stay encouraged and minister from a healthy place (Jesus’ “easy yoke” and “light burden”).</p>
<h3>The 3 Habits</h3>
<p><strong>1) Minister with God, not for God</strong><br /> Stop striving for approval. You’re a son/daughter and friend of God—so ministry becomes partnership, not performance.<br /> Key verses: John 15:15, Romans 8:15</p>
<p><strong>2) Rely on the Holy Spirit</strong><br /> You can’t pour from an empty bucket. Prioritize being filled—daily connection with God, worship, and truth that strengthens your soul.<br /> Key verse: Colossians 3:23–24</p>
<p><strong>3) Surround yourself with encouraging people</strong><br /> Isolation fuels burnout. Healthy community helps you name lies, receive support, and stay rooted in truth when ministry feels hard.</p>
<h3>Quick takeaway</h3>
<p>You’ve already been approved. God isn’t asking you to grind—He’s inviting you to stay connected, filled, and supported.</p>

                    <![CDATA[<p>Ministry isn’t just “church work.” It’s how you love, lead, serve, and show up—at home, at work, and in your community. But when ministry starts to feel heavy, exhausting, or isolating, it’s a signal that something needs to shift.</p>
<p>In this episode, Josh and Corina share what they learned after years of juggling work, family life, and full-time volunteer ministry—and the 3 habits that help you stay encouraged and minister from a healthy place (Jesus’ “easy yoke” and “light burden”).</p>
<h3>The 3 Habits</h3>
<p><strong>1) Minister with God, not for God</strong><br /> Stop striving for approval. You’re a son/daughter and friend of God—so ministry becomes partnership, not performance.<br /> Key verses: John 15:15, Romans 8:15</p>
<p><strong>2) Rely on the Holy Spirit</strong><br /> You can’t pour from an empty bucket. Prioritize being filled—daily connection with God, worship, and truth that strengthens your soul.<br /> Key verse: Colossians 3:23–24</p>
<p><strong>3) Surround yourself with encouraging people</strong><br /> Isolation fuels burnout. Healthy community helps you name lies, receive support, and stay rooted in truth when ministry feels hard.</p>
<h3>Quick takeaway</h3>
<p>You’ve already been approved. God isn’t asking you to grind—He’s inviting you to stay connected, filled, and supported.</p>

                    <![CDATA[Ever pray and feel like you’re just talking to yourself? You’re not alone. In this episode, we break the lie that “God is silent” and share simple, practical ways to recognize God’s voice with more peace and confidence.
You’ll learn why it can feel hard to hear God (hint: it’s not because He stopped speaking), what “blocks the receiver,” and how to reconnect quickly—especially when you’re discouraged, overwhelmed, or stuck in performance.
In this episode, we cover:

The #1 mindset shift: God is always speaking
Why “not receiving” can feel like God went quiet
Common blockers: unworthiness, performance, disbelief, overwhelm, distraction
How to start with peace to hear God more clearly
What God’s voice sounds like: kinder, gentler, wiser (never condemning)
Practical steps to tune in: remove noise, get still, write it down, ask Jesus what He thinks
Key Scriptures for discernment + confidence

                    <![CDATA[“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). But what happens when you know the truth… and still feel stuck?
In this episode, Josh and Corina unpack why head knowledge alone doesn’t lead to lasting freedom—and what Jesus actually meant when He said the truth would set us free. They explore the biblical meaning of “know” as experiential, intimate knowledge and explain why transformation happens not just through information, but through encounter.
Corina shares her personal journey of growing up in church, knowing the right answers, yet struggling with perfectionism, legalism, and feeling unable to truly receive God’s love. Josh and Corina walk through how real freedom began when truth moved from her head to her heart—through encountering God’s love in the middle of brokenness.
You’ll learn:

Why knowing Scripture isn’t the same as being transformed by it
The difference between mental assent and experiential truth
How encounters with God lead to lasting change
Why encounters without mind renewal often fade
How renewing your mind helps truth “stick” after breakthrough moments
Practical steps for identifying lies, receiving truth, and walking it out daily

They also share the 5-step mind renewal process they use with coaching clients to help uncover lies, encounter God’s truth, and rewire thought patterns for lasting freedom.
If you’ve ever thought, “I know the truth… so why isn’t it working?”—this episode will bring clarity, hope, and practical next steps toward real transformation.

<p>You’re not alone.</p>
<p>In this episode, we talk about the <strong>number one reason believers struggle to discern God’s will</strong>—and it might surprise you. The issue isn’t that God isn’t speaking. It’s that many of us don’t realize <em>how</em> He’s speaking… or we’re too distracted, overwhelmed, or disconnected to notice.</p>

<p>If you’re facing a decision, feeling overwhelmed, or longing to reconnect with God’s voice, this episode will give you practical steps—and hope.</p>
<h3>In this episode, we cover:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Why God <em>is</em> speaking—even when it feels silent</li>
<li>How fear, responsibility, and distraction dull our spiritual awareness</li>
<li>The difference between waiting for a “big sign” and noticing God’s daily whispers</li>
<li>How peace is the starting point for discernment</li>
<li>Why paying attention to patterns (Scripture, people, impressions, timing) matters</li>
<li>How obedience—especially in small steps—builds confidence in hearing God</li>
<li>Why God’s goal is always relationship and intimacy, not pressure or perfection</li>
</ul>
<h3>Practical steps to discern God’s will more clearly:</h3>

<li><strong>Start with peace</strong> – calm the chaos so you can hear clearly</li>
<li><strong>Make space for God</strong> – intentional time in His presence</li>
<li><strong>Pay attention</strong> – notice Scripture, conversations, songs, and patterns</li>

                                            <![CDATA[<p>Have you been feeling depleted, heavy, or stuck in a cycle of disappointment that won’t lift? In this episode, Josh and Corina break down what discouragement <em>really</em> is, why it can feel so “sticky,” and how to get free—without expecting yourself to magically snap out of it overnight.</p>
<p>You’ll hear a helpful reframe: discouragement often forms when <strong>disappointments stack up</strong> and turn into a belief system—<em>“nothing will change,” “God doesn’t care,” “this is how it will always be.”</em> But that belief system can be dismantled. And you can learn to recognize discouragement early—so it doesn’t take you out for weeks at a time.</p>
<p>This episode is full of practical strategies, biblical insight, and encouragement to take <strong>one small step</strong> toward hope—then keep going until a new pattern forms.</p>
<h3>In this episode, you’ll learn</h3>
<ul>
<li>What discouragement is and how it often turns into a <strong>hopeless belief system</strong></li>
<li>Why discouragement can get “triggered” by one event—even if you’ve been doing well</li>
<li>How to identify what you’re believing by what you’re feeling (and how Holy Spirit helps)</li>
<li>Why the first step is often physical: <strong>care for your body to support your mind</strong></li>
<li>How to get out of isolation and connect with <strong>hope-filled believers</strong></li>
<li>How to bring discouragement to God with worship, thanksgiving, and truth</li>
<li>Why remembering God’s faithfulness and testimonies breaks hopeless cycles</li>
<li>How to <strong>stay encouraged</strong> (not just get a quick breakthrough and slide back)</li>
<li>A simple strategy to build momentum: <strong>one small choice + celebrate + repeat</strong></li>

                    <![CDATA[<p>Have you been feeling depleted, heavy, or stuck in a cycle of disappointment that won’t lift? In this episode, Josh and Corina break down what discouragement <em>really</em> is, why it can feel so “sticky,” and how to get free—without expecting yourself to magically snap out of it overnight.</p>
<p>You’ll hear a helpful reframe: discouragement often forms when <strong>disappointments stack up</strong> and turn into a belief system—<em>“nothing will change,” “God doesn’t care,” “this is how it will always be.”</em> But that belief system can be dismantled. And you can learn to recognize discouragement early—so it doesn’t take you out for weeks at a time.</p>
<p>This episode is full of practical strategies, biblical insight, and encouragement to take <strong>one small step</strong> toward hope—then keep going until a new pattern forms.</p>
<h3>In this episode, you’ll learn</h3>
<ul>
<li>What discouragement is and how it often turns into a <strong>hopeless belief system</strong></li>
<li>Why discouragement can get “triggered” by one event—even if you’ve been doing well</li>
<li>How to identify what you’re believing by what you’re feeling (and how Holy Spirit helps)</li>
<li>Why the first step is often physical: <strong>care for your body to support your mind</strong></li>
<li>How to get out of isolation and connect with <strong>hope-filled believers</strong></li>
<li>How to bring discouragement to God with worship, thanksgiving, and truth</li>
<li>Why remembering God’s faithfulness and testimonies breaks hopeless cycles</li>
<li>How to <strong>stay encouraged</strong> (not just get a quick breakthrough and slide back)</li>
<li>A simple strategy to build momentum: <strong>one small choice + celebrate + repeat</strong></li>
<li>Why “never stop starting” is a powerful spiritual habit</li>
</ul>
<h3>Bible Verses Mentioned</h3>
<ul>
<li>Proverbs 13:12 (hope deferred / tree of life)</li>
<li>Psalm 42:11</li>
<li>Psalm 77:11–12</li>
<li>Revelation 19:10</li>
<li>1 Samuel 30:6</li>
<li>Philippians 4:6–7</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
<ul>
<li>Discouragement thrives in isolation—<strong>bring it into the light</strong></li>
<li>Don’t try to do everything; do <strong>one small thing</strong> (then celebrate it)</li>
<li>Worship and Scripture help reframe your situation through God’s perspective</li>
<li>A new habit pattern takes time—build it in manageable steps and don’t quit</li>

                                            <![CDATA[<p>Do you ever feel stuck when it’s time to make a decision—unsure whether you’re hearing God or just your own thoughts? You’re not alone.</p>
<p>In this episode of <em>Believe &amp; Become</em>, Josh and Corina walk through a <strong>peace-filled, practical framework for discerning God’s voice in decision-making</strong>—without fear, pressure, or overthinking. If you’ve ever struggled with decision fatigue, analysis paralysis, or the fear of “getting it wrong,” this conversation will bring clarity and freedom.</p>
<p>You’ll learn how to move from confusion to confidence by partnering with God, trusting His guidance, and attaching faith to the decisions you make.</p>
<h3>In this episode, we cover:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Why discernment doesn’t always sound like an audible voice from God</li>
<li>How trusting God removes the pressure of “perfect” decision-making</li>
<li>A simple, step-by-step process for discerning the <strong>good vs. the best</strong></li>
<li>How to recognize <em>God stories</em>—divine confirmations, Scripture, dreams, and prophetic moments</li>
<li>The importance of wise counsel and community when making decisions</li>
<li>Why peace (not fear or anxiety) is a key indicator of God’s leading</li>
<li>How to move forward in faith—even when a decision feels risky</li>
<li>Why a “wrong decision” doesn’t disqualify you or derail God’s plan</li>
<li>How God redeems every step when your heart is set on following Him</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key takeaway</h3>
<p>God is far more committed to leading you than you are to hearing Him perfectly. When your heart is aligned with Him, <strong>you can trust the process—and the decision.</strong></p>
<h3>Need help discerning a decision?</h3>
<p>If you’re facing a decision and want support discerning God’s voice, breaking off limiting beliefs, and moving forward with peace, we’d love to help.</p>

You’ll learn how to move from confusion to confidence by partnering with God, trusting His guidance, and attaching faith to the decisions you make.
In this episode, we cover:

Why discernment doesn’t always sound like an audible voice from God
How trusting God removes the pressure of “perfect” decision-making
A simple, step-by-step process for discerning the good vs. the best
How to recognize God stories—divine confirmations, Scripture, dreams, and prophetic moments
The importance of wise counsel and community when making decisions
Why peace (not fear or anxiety) is a key indicator of God’s leading
How to move forward in faith—even when a decision feels risky
Why a “wrong decision” doesn’t disqualify you or derail God’s plan
How God redeems every step when your heart is set on following Him

Key takeaway
God is far more committed to leading you than you are to hearing Him perfectly. When your heart is aligned with Him, you can trust the process—and the decision.
Need help discerning a decision?
If you’re facing a decision and want support discerning God’s voice, breaking off limiting beliefs, and moving forward with peace, we’d love to help.

<p>In this episode of <strong>Believe &amp; Become</strong>, we talk honestly about <em>why hearing God can feel hard</em> and how to remove the “static” that interferes with clarity. As we step into a new year, this conversation will help you slow down, find peace, and partner with God for intentional direction instead of pressure-driven planning.</p>
<p>We’re joined by our friend <strong>Janet Hunter</strong>, a prophetic voice, beliefs trainer, and Christian leader from Australia, who shares powerful stories and practical insight into how God speaks—and the many different “channels” He uses to communicate with us.</p>
<h3>In this episode, you’ll learn:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Why believing “God doesn’t speak to me” is a lie—and how to recognize the ways He already is</li>
<li>How emotional pain, unmet needs, and limiting beliefs create <em>static</em> when hearing God</li>
<li>The different ways God speaks (knowing, thoughts, environment, songs, imagination, peace, and more)</li>
<li>Why surrendering your <strong>mind</strong> to God changes everything</li>
<li>How community helps us hear God more clearly and avoid costly mistakes</li>
<li>What it looks like to prophesy over your year with vision, intention, and faith</li>
<li>How beliefs, declarations, and imagination help you partner with what God is saying</li>
<li>Why God’s voice always leads toward peace, hope, and life—not fear or confusion</li>
</ul>
<p>Janet also shares a powerful testimony of how a single encounter with God rewrote long-held lies about her identity and calling—and how you can experience the same kind of breakthrough.</p>
<p>If you’re entering a new season and longing for clarity, direction, and confidence in God’s voice, this episode will encourage you to lean in, remove the noise, and trust that <strong>you are designed to hear Him</strong>.</p>

                    <![CDATA[<p>Have you ever wondered why hearing God’s voice sometimes feels so clear—and other times feels frustrating or confusing?</p>
<p>In this episode of <strong>Believe &amp; Become</strong>, we talk honestly about <em>why hearing God can feel hard</em> and how to remove the “static” that interferes with clarity. As we step into a new year, this conversation will help you slow down, find peace, and partner with God for intentional direction instead of pressure-driven planning.</p>
<p>We’re joined by our friend <strong>Janet Hunter</strong>, a prophetic voice, beliefs trainer, and Christian leader from Australia, who shares powerful stories and practical insight into how God speaks—and the many different “channels” He uses to communicate with us.</p>
<h3>In this episode, you’ll learn:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Why believing “God doesn’t speak to me” is a lie—and how to recognize the ways He already is</li>
<li>How emotional pain, unmet needs, and limiting beliefs create <em>static</em> when hearing God</li>
<li>The different ways God speaks (knowing, thoughts, environment, songs, imagination, peace, and more)</li>
<li>Why surrendering your <strong>mind</strong> to God changes everything</li>
<li>How community helps us hear God more clearly and avoid costly mistakes</li>
<li>What it looks like to prophesy over your year with vision, intention, and faith</li>
<li>How beliefs, declarations, and imagination help you partner with what God is saying</li>
<li>Why God’s voice always leads toward peace, hope, and life—not fear or confusion</li>
</ul>
<p>Janet also shares a powerful testimony of how a single encounter with God rewrote long-held lies about her identity and calling—and how you can experience the same kind of breakthrough.</p>
<p>If you’re entering a new season and longing for clarity, direction, and confidence in God’s voice, this episode will encourage you to lean in, remove the noise, and trust that <strong>you are designed to hear Him</strong>.</p>

                                            <![CDATA[<p>Have you ever felt excited about a fresh start… only to feel discouraged a few weeks later when your New Year’s resolutions fall apart?</p>
<p>You’re not alone.</p>
<p>In this episode of <strong>Believe &amp; Become</strong>, we’re talking about a better way forward—one that actually leads to lasting change. Instead of trying harder or setting more goals, we explore how <strong>true transformation begins with your identity in Christ</strong>.</p>
<p>If you’ve ever struggled with follow-through, self-sabotage, or feeling stuck despite your best intentions, this conversation will help you shift from behavior-based change to <strong>identity-based transformation</strong>.</p>
<p>God isn’t primarily interested in what you <em>do</em>—He’s deeply invested in who you are becoming. And when your beliefs align with who He says you are, your habits and actions begin to change naturally.</p>
<h2>✨ In This Episode, You’ll Learn</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Why most New Year’s resolutions fail (and what to do instead)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The difference between trying to <em>do more</em> and becoming someone new</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Why you can’t consistently live out what you don’t believe about yourself</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>How identity in Christ fuels sustainable habits and growth</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The connection between beliefs, emotions, and self-sabotage</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Practical tools for renewing your mind and rewiring limiting beliefs</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>How to use declarations, Scripture, imagination, and habit stacking for real change</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Why God prioritizes character and inner transformation over quick results</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>How small, daily shifts lead to lasting breakthrough</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Practical Tools We Discuss</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Identity-first goal setting</strong> (Who do I want to become?)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Declarations rooted in Scripture</strong></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Replacing lies with truth</strong></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Visualization &amp; imagination with the Holy Spirit</strong></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Habit stacking &amp; micro-habits</strong></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Tracking progress without perfection</strong></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Celebration as a catalyst for change</strong></p>

                                            <![CDATA[<p>So many believers love God deeply… yet struggle to confidently <em>believe</em> what He says about who they are.<br /> Why? Because identity is the battlefield the enemy targets most.</p>
<p>In this episode, we break down how to discern God’s voice in the area of identity—and why it often feels harder to hear Him about <em>yourself</em> than about anything else.

                    <![CDATA[So many believers love God deeply… yet struggle to confidently believe what He says about who they are. Why? Because identity is the battlefield the enemy targets most.

                    <![CDATA[Do you ever feel spiritually dry—like you’re pouring out but not being filled up? As Christian leaders, parents, or servants, it’s easy to get caught in the cycle of busyness, serving out of obligation instead of overflow. But that’s not what God intended.
In this episode, Josh and Corina share their personal journey from burnout to breakthrough and practical ways to revive your secret place with the Lord. You’ll learn how to create consistent, grace-filled time with God, how to find connection instead of routine, and how to refill your soul so you can pour out from a place of abundance.
It’s time to break shame, rediscover joy in God’s presence, and make your quiet time fun again.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:

Why spiritual dryness happens (and how to recognize it early)
How to stop serving God for Him and start serving with Him
The secret to consistency that isn’t rooted in guilt or perfection
Why your “quiet time” doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s
Creative ways to connect with God throughout your day
How to feed your soul with things that bring life and joy
The power of grace, habit, and the Holy Spirit to renew your fire

Favorite Quotes:
“We celebrate progress, not perfection. Never stop starting.”“Stop checking the box and start looking for connection.”“If you only talked to your spouse for 30 minutes a day, you wouldn’t call that intimacy—why do we treat God that way?”“God’s not mad that you fell asleep praying; He loves that you fell asleep in His arms.”

                    <![CDATA[Feeling stuck in a cycle of discouragement, negative thoughts, or low motivation? In this Believe & Become episode, we unpack how to overcome discouragement by partnering with the joy of the Lord. You’ll learn biblical mindset tools to shift from anxiety and overwhelm to hope and strength, including scripture-based declarations, gratitude practices, and how to renew your mind so you can experience lasting transformation—not just a temporary mood boost.
What you’ll learn

Why joy breaks discouragement: The biblical case for joy as spiritual strength (Nehemiah 8:10) and a key to overcoming discouragement.
Joy vs. happiness: How joy (a fruit of the Spirit) sustains you even when circumstances don’t change yet.
Religious mindset vs. Kingdom mindset: Why perfectionism fuels discouragement and how celebrating progresscreates momentum.
Renewing your mind when you feel stuck: Practical steps to replace lies with truth and build resilient hope(Romans 15:13).
Rejoicing on purpose: How to activate joy in your body, soul, and spirit (Philippians 4:4; 1 Thessalonians 5:16) and why that matters for everyday breakthroughs.
Daily practices that lift your mood fast: Gratitude stacks, testimony recall, speaking declarations, and focusing on what God IS doing.

Key scriptures for overcoming discouragement

Nehemiah 8:10 — The joy of the Lord is your strength.
Romans 15:13 — Be filled with all joy and peace in believing so you abound in hope.
James 1:2–4 — Consider it pure joy in trials; God is forming perseverance.
Philippians 4:4 — Rejoice in the Lord always.
1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 — Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in everything.
Zephaniah 3:17 — God rejoices over you with singing.

Practical tools to beat discouragement (quick wins)

Celebrate progress, not perfection: Swap self-critique for micro-celebrations to rewire your brain toward hope.
Declarations for discouraged days: Speak truth out loud (e.g., “I am strong in the Lord,” “Hope is rising in me,” “God is working even when I don’t feel it”).
Gratitude stacking: List 3–5 things God did today—big or small—to shift focus from lack to evidence of God’s faithfulness.
Testimony recall: Rehearse past breakthroughs to fuel present faith.
Move your body: Pair rejoicing with action (clap, pace, take a thankful walk) to anchor joy somatically.
Truth swap: Identify one discouraging belief, then replace it with a scripture-anchored truth and repeat it morning/evening.

                                <description>
                                            <![CDATA[<p>Last week, we explored the <em>biblical foundation</em> for renewing your mind (Romans 12:2, John 8:31–32, 2 Corinthians 10:4–5). Today, we’re getting super practical. In this episode, we walk you through the <strong>five steps we use with our coaching clients</strong> to break free from lies, partner with God’s truth, and experience lasting transformation.</p>
<p>You’ll learn how to:<br />1️⃣ <strong>Uncover the lies</strong> that steal hope and hold you back.<br />2️⃣ <strong>Break up with the lie</strong> — including why laughing at lies disarms the enemy.<br />3️⃣ <strong>Discover the truth</strong> God is speaking over your life.<br />4️⃣ <strong>Renew your mind with the truth</strong> through declarations, meditation, and repetition.<br />5️⃣ <strong>Celebrate progress</strong> — even when transformation is still in process.</p>
<p>These steps aren’t just theory — they’re the tools we personally use and teach in our coaching program to help believers move from stuck and discouraged to free, hopeful, and strong in Christ.</p>

                    <![CDATA[Last week, we explored the biblical foundation for renewing your mind (Romans 12:2, John 8:31–32, 2 Corinthians 10:4–5). Today, we’re getting super practical. In this episode, we walk you through the five steps we use with our coaching clients to break free from lies, partner with God’s truth, and experience lasting transformation.
You’ll learn how to:1️⃣ Uncover the lies that steal hope and hold you back.2️⃣ Break up with the lie — including why laughing at lies disarms the enemy.3️⃣ Discover the truth God is speaking over your life.4️⃣ Renew your mind with the truth through declarations, meditation, and repetition.5️⃣ Celebrate progress — even when transformation is still in process.
These steps aren’t just theory — they’re the tools we personally use and teach in our coaching program to help believers move from stuck and discouraged to free, hopeful, and strong in Christ.

                                            <![CDATA[<p>Who are you, really? In this episode of <em>Believe &amp; Become</em>, Josh and Corina dive deep into what it means to live from your true identity in Christ. When we understand who God created us to be, we can step into His promises with boldness and freedom.</p>
<p>We’ll talk about how God continually affirms His children, why your dreams might actually be God-sized invitations, and how Scripture confirms that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. You’ll hear personal stories, biblical insights, and practical encouragement to help you move from insecurity and performance into confidence, joy, and rest in God’s love.</p>
<p>Whether you’ve battled lies about your worth, struggled with comparison, or felt stuck in old identities, this conversation will help you renew your mind with truth and see yourself the way God sees you.</p>
<p><strong>What You’ll Learn in This Episode:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Why God always speaks identity before assignment</li>
<li>How to recognize God-sized dreams (and why they scare you)</li>
<li>The difference between “what you do” and “who you are”</li>
<li>Why your past, mistakes, and emotions don’t define you</li>
<li>Practical ways to ask God, <em>“Who do You say I am?”</em></li>
<li>How to live as a child of God without performing for His love</li>
</ul>

                    <![CDATA[Who are you, really? In this episode of Believe & Become, Josh and Corina dive deep into what it means to live from your true identity in Christ. When we understand who God created us to be, we can step into His promises with boldness and freedom.
We’ll talk about how God continually affirms His children, why your dreams might actually be God-sized invitations, and how Scripture confirms that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. You’ll hear personal stories, biblical insights, and practical encouragement to help you move from insecurity and performance into confidence, joy, and rest in God’s love.
Whether you’ve battled lies about your worth, struggled with comparison, or felt stuck in old identities, this conversation will help you renew your mind with truth and see yourself the way God sees you.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why God always speaks identity before assignment
How to recognize God-sized dreams (and why they scare you)
The difference between “what you do” and “who you are”
Why your past, mistakes, and emotions don’t define you
Practical ways to ask God, “Who do You say I am?”
How to live as a child of God without performing for His love

Scriptures Referenced:

Psalm 139:14 – You are fearfully and wonderfully made
Ephesians 2:10 – You are God’s masterpiece
Romans 5:8 – While we were still sinners, Christ died for us
John 15 – Abide in the true vine
1 John 3:1 – Behold what manner of love the Father has given us

                                            <![CDATA[<p>So many of us know the truth in our heads: <em>“I’m a child of God.”</em> But living out of that reality in our daily lives? That’s another story.</p>
<p>In this heartfelt episode of <strong>Believe &amp; Become</strong>, Josh and Corina open up about their own journeys of moving from performance-driven faith to resting in God’s love as His sons and daughters.</p>
<p>Through scripture, personal stories, and even a simple lesson learned from taking out the trash with a 6-year-old, they unpack what it means to be:</p>
<ul>
<li>Sons and daughters, not slaves</li>
<li>Friends of God who co-labor with Him</li>
<li>Abiding in Christ rather than striving for approval</li>
<li>Fully loved—not because of what you do, but because of who you are</li>
</ul>
<p>Whether you’ve battled perfectionism, felt pressure to “do more” for God, or struggled to rest in His love, this conversation will help you step deeper into your identity and discover the freedom of working <em>with</em> God, not <em>for</em> Him.</p>
<h3>Scripture Highlights</h3>
<ul>
<li>John 15:15 – “I no longer call you servants… I have called you friends.”</li>
<li>Ephesians 2:6 – Seated with Christ in heavenly places</li>
<li>Romans 5:8 – While we were still sinners, Christ died for us</li>
<li>Matthew 3:17 – “This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.”</li>

                    <![CDATA[So many of us know the truth in our heads: “I’m a child of God.” But living out of that reality in our daily lives? That’s another story.
In this heartfelt episode of Believe & Become, Josh and Corina open up about their own journeys of moving from performance-driven faith to resting in God’s love as His sons and daughters.
Through scripture, personal stories, and even a simple lesson learned from taking out the trash with a 6-year-old, they unpack what it means to be:

Sons and daughters, not slaves
Friends of God who co-labor with Him
Abiding in Christ rather than striving for approval
Fully loved—not because of what you do, but because of who you are

Whether you’ve battled perfectionism, felt pressure to “do more” for God, or struggled to rest in His love, this conversation will help you step deeper into your identity and discover the freedom of working with God, not for Him.
Scripture Highlights

John 15:15 – “I no longer call you servants… I have called you friends.”
Ephesians 2:6 – Seated with Christ in heavenly places
Romans 5:8 – While we were still sinners, Christ died for us
Matthew 3:17 – “This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.”

                                            <![CDATA[<p>What if changing your <em>words</em> could actually change your life?</p>
<p>In this episode, Josh and Corina unpack the biblical foundation and spiritual power behind <strong>declarations</strong>—speaking God’s truth out loud over your life. Drawing from Proverbs, Romans, Ephesians, and personal stories, they reveal how shifting your words rewires your brain, shapes your beliefs, and releases supernatural grace.</p>
<p>Whether you’ve struggled with negative self-talk, past labels, or just want to deepen your walk with God, this episode will equip you with practical, life-giving tools to change your thoughts by changing your words.</p>
<h3>What You’ll Learn:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Why declarations aren’t “woo-woo”—they’re biblical and powerful</li>
<li>How to identify lies you’ve been believing and replace them with truth</li>
<li>The difference between acknowledging facts and standing in truth</li>
<li>How your words literally impact your brain, your emotions, and your outcomes</li>
<li>Why you should say declarations <em>out loud</em> (not just in your head)</li>
<li>How Abraham’s name change became a model for faith and identity</li>
<li>Tips for creating declarations rooted in Scripture and using them daily</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Quotes:</h3>
<p>“Your words don’t just describe your life—they shape it.”<br />“Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’ That’s not denial—that’s truth in action.”<br />“When I changed my words, I started to see grace flood into areas I’d struggled for years.”</p>
<h3>Scriptures Highlighted:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Proverbs 18:21 – <em>Death and life are in the power of the tongue.</em></li>
<li>Proverbs 16:24 – <em>Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.</em></li>
<li>Romans 8:11 – <em>The same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead gives life to our mortal bodies.</em></li>
<li>Ephesians 4:29 – <em>Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth… that it may impart grace to the hearers.</em></li>
<li>Joel 3:10 – <em>Let the weak say, “I am strong.”</em></li>
<li>Philippians 4:19 – <em>God shall supply all your needs…</em></li>
<li>Isaiah 53 – <em>By His stripes, you are healed.</em></li>
</ul>
<h3>️ Try This:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Create 3–5 personal declarations using Scripture.</li>
<li>Say them out loud every morning and evening.</li>
<li>Reframe your everyday phrases:</li>
<li>“I have to...” → “I get to...”</li>
<li>“This is hard...” → “I can do this with grace.”</li>
<li>“I always forget...” → “I remembered. I have the mind of Christ!”</li>
</ul>
<h3>Reflection Questions:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Where have I been speaking death over myself?</li>
<li>What lie have I believed that I can replace with God’s truth?</li>
<li>What is one Scripture I can declare daily to renew my mind?</li>
</ul>

                    <![CDATA[What if changing your words could actually change your life?
In this episode, Josh and Corina unpack the biblical foundation and spiritual power behind declarations—speaking God’s truth out loud over your life. Drawing from Proverbs, Romans, Ephesians, and personal stories, they reveal how shifting your words rewires your brain, shapes your beliefs, and releases supernatural grace.
Whether you’ve struggled with negative self-talk, past labels, or just want to deepen your walk with God, this episode will equip you with practical, life-giving tools to change your thoughts by changing your words.
What You’ll Learn:

Why declarations aren’t “woo-woo”—they’re biblical and powerful
How to identify lies you’ve been believing and replace them with truth
The difference between acknowledging facts and standing in truth
How your words literally impact your brain, your emotions, and your outcomes
Why you should say declarations out loud (not just in your head)
How Abraham’s name change became a model for faith and identity
Tips for creating declarations rooted in Scripture and using them daily

Key Quotes:
“Your words don’t just describe your life—they shape it.”“Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’ That’s not denial—that’s truth in action.”“When I changed my words, I started to see grace flood into areas I’d struggled for years.”
Scriptures Highlighted:

Proverbs 18:21 – Death and life are in the power of the tongue.
Proverbs 16:24 – Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.
Romans 8:11 – The same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead gives life to our mortal bodies.
Ephesians 4:29 – Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth… that it may impart grace to the hearers.
Joel 3:10 – Let the weak say, “I am strong.”
Philippians 4:19 – God shall supply all your needs…
Isaiah 53 – By His stripes, you are healed.

️ Try This:

Create 3–5 personal declarations using Scripture.
Say them out loud every morning and evening.
Reframe your everyday phrases:
“I have to...” → “I get to...”
“This is hard...” → “I can do this with grace.”
“I always forget...” → “I remembered. I have the mind of Christ!”

Reflection Questions:

Where have I been speaking death over myself?
What lie have I believed that I can replace with God’s truth?
What is one Scripture I can declare daily to renew my mind?
