About this episode

The episode discusses how the heart influences our beliefs and emotions, featuring a conversation with Jennifer Johnson about overcoming fear and faith amidst personal crises.

Most people don’t realize how much of life is driven by what the heart has come to believe. Fear, anxiety, bitterness, peace, hope, and faith are not just passing emotions — they are often connected to deep stories we have accepted as reality.

Jennifer shares the story of a devastating church situation that left her family with financial debt, relational loss, disappointment, and a future that looked nothing like what she had planned.
