Trade a Lie for a Truth

Ever wonder if God’s promises rise and fall with how well you perform? If God’s favor must be maintained—or if His faithfulness might waver when you fall short? When that assumption creeps in, the book of Joshua confronts it head-on. In this conversation with Jen Wilkin—Bible teacher, best-selling author, and a trusted guide helping believers grow in biblical literacy—we open Scripture together to see how God ensures the fulfillment of every promise He makes. Not because of our consistency, effort, or worthiness, but because of His unwavering faithfulness. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: • The lie that God’s promises depend on your performance—and the truth that sets you free • Lessons on inheritance, family, and blessing in God’s timing • Fun rapid-fire questions at the end so you can get to know Jen personally Key Takeaway: God’s promises don’t rest on your effort—they rest on His faithfulness. Joshua reminds us that God goes before His people, stays with us in the unknown, and finishes what He starts. Obedience isn’t how we earn God’s presence—it’s how we respond to it faithfully.

Ever hit a point where you just… feel forgotten? You’re praying, doing all the “right” things, trying to keep your faith steady—but heaven’s quiet. Everyone else is getting their breakthrough, their answered prayer, their happy ending… and you’re over here wondering, “Did God skip over me?” It's here where we can start believing the sneaky little lie: “God doesn’t care. He’s given up on me.” But what if we’re misinterpreting the situation? What if what we’re calling silence is preparation? What if God absolutely cares more than we could ever know and what if He cares about every detail of your life? Join me as I interview Whitney Lowe, author of Called Back to Who You Are and Set Your Eyes Higher, to trade this lie and discover the freeing truth for yourself. __________________________________________________________________ Connect more with Whitney Lowe: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/whitneypiersonlowe/ Newest release, Called Back to Who You Are - https://rstyle.me/+wD9RKiqfg6IOpuOnMERK_Q Connect more with Heidi Lee Anderson: Instagram. - https://www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson Website - www.heidileeandersonministries.com Newest devotional, All In, All Yours - https://rstyle.me/+11Ii1owgccFkGPU0t1uz3w

How many times have you asked yourself: Did I do enough today? Why can’t I keep up like she does? I should’ve had more patience. More connection. More prayer. You love your kids fiercely, but sometimes you’re running on fumes—and wondering if you’re doing much of it right or just messing up your kids. And then someone says, “Motherhood is your highest calling,” and it just adds to the doubt. But what if that belief that “motherhood is your highest calling,” although sounds right and good… is actually a lie that’s crushing you? What if that isn’t the whole story? What if your worth—and your identity—isn’t wrapped up in who you are as a parent, but in who God says you are? Ultimately, what if there is a higher calling? Join me in this conversation as I interview Vicki Courtney, a mom, grandmother, and author of Motherhood Isn't Your Highest Calling, who is helping women everywhere release the pressure of Christian motherhood and embrace a greater truth: You are more than your role as a mom. 🔗 Connect more with Vicki Courtney: https://vickicourtney.com/about/ Check out her newest release, Motherhood Is Not Your Highest Calling: https://rstyle.me/+apwMMBICVFpf8Z3wBZ7y7A 🔗 Connect with Heidi Lee Anderson: Instagram: www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson Countdown to Christmas Advent devotional: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/christmas-devotionals Case of the Unknown Messiah Advent devotional: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/advent-2 Heidi’s newest book, All In, All Yours: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/allinallyours Further resources: https://heidileeandersonministries.com

Our culture these days is obsessed with identity — how we define ourselves, express ourselves, and justify our choices. But sometimes what sounds like freedom, “God made me this way," is actually a lie that keeps us from living the way He designed us... to glorify Him. Join Heidi Lee Anderson as she sits down with Amy Davison, co-host of the @MamaBearApologetics Podcast, to talk about how this subtle cultural lie is a dangerous one! Not only does Amy share her own story, but she also breaks down why identity is one of the biggest battlegrounds in today’s culture and how to lovingly engage others who might see things differently. Together, let’s unpack how Christians can root their identity (and their kid’s identity) in Christ—not in their preferences, feelings, or desires. Whether you’re a parent, pastor, or someone wrestling with purpose, let's look beyond “who I am” and rediscover Whose you are. 🧠 Topics We Cover • Why “God made me this way” sounds biblical—but isn’t • How identity influences behavior and spiritual growth • Teaching kids to know who they are in Christ • Responding with both truth and grace in today’s cultural conversations • How to balance desires with God’s design 🧸 Connect with Mama Bear Apologetics • Website: mamabearapologetics.com • Instagram: @mamabearapologetics • Book: Mama Bear Apologeticsf and Mama Bear Apologetics Guide to Sexuality 🔗 Connect with Heidi: Instagram: www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson Family Christmas Advent devotionals: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/christmas-devotionals Heidi’s newest book, All In, All Yours: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/allinallyours Further resources: https://heidileeandersonministries.com

Have you ever caught yourself shrinking back—unsure if your voice, gifts, or calling mattered as much as the guys around you? Maybe you’ve played small in ministry because you didn’t want to come off as too much. Or wondered if being “quiet” and “safe” was your lane because you’re a woman? Whew. You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re trading one of the oldest lies in the book—the idea that women are somehow less in value, voice, or calling—for the truth that God never said that. From Genesis to Jesus, we’ll trace God’s heart toward His daughters and see that His design has always been equal in worth and distinct in role—image-bearers, co-laborers, and essential to the body of Christ. To help unpack this, Heidi’s joined by two powerhouse Bible teachers and authors, Jami Nato (This Must Be the Place) and Amy Seiffert (Your Name Is Daughter). Together, the three dive into: ✨ What the Bible actually says about women starting in the beginning of Genesis ✨ How Jesus treated women—and what that reveals about God’s heart ✨ How to confidently live as a daughter of God while linking arms with His sons This isn’t a feminist rant or a man-bashing session. It’s a freeing conversation about God’s good design for both women and men—and how the enemy’s been twisting it for far too long. Grab your coffee, your Bible, and maybe your best girlfriend—because today, we’re trading the lie of “less than” for the truth of who God says you are. 🔗 Connect with Our Guests: Amy Seiffert Instagram: www.instagram.com/amyseiffert Podcast: Seminary Sisters Book: Your Name Is Daughter, https://rstyle.me/+zmHfbfzK32wrLrbbhiz7uw Jami Nato Instagram: www.instagram.com/jami_nato Podcast: Seminary Sisters Book: This Must Be the Place, https://rstyle.me/+hVzQJIAcaF40eoYmvREv7A 💛 Connect with Heidi: Instagram: www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson Grab the All In Devotional: https://rstyle.me/+11Ii1owgccFkGPU0t1uz3w www.heidileeandersonministries.com Subscribe + leave a review to help more people trade lies for God’s truth!
