Embracing the Unknown - Episode 2: Cultivating Inner Peace

She Lives Fearless with Holly Newton Episode 115

Join Holly Newton on the She Lives Fearless podcast. In this New Season - Embracing the Unknown Episode 2, we gather around the kitchen table for "Cultivating Inner Peace." In this soulful episode, Holly shares a personal reflection on navigating self-pressure while settling into a new home, finding peace by turning to God’s promises. 

Think about Mary, the mother of Jesus, in Luke 1. When the angel Gabriel tells her she’ll bear the Son of God, she’s faced with the unimaginable—disruption, uncertainty, and a future she can’t control. Yet her response? “Let it be to me according to your word.” That surrender wasn’t passive; it was powerful. It’s the posture of the kingdom—surrendering our plans to God’s perfect will. 

As believers, there’s always deeper levels with Him, always more to let go of, so He can do His work in and through us according to His plans. But when things start going a different way than we hoped, or circumstances hit hard, we often fight to preserve our comfort. That’s where Mary’s example challenges us—she chose trust over control. 

We explore practical tools—silence, Scripture, and community—above all, prayer, to find peace in our hectic world, anchored by Matthew 11:28-30 and Isaiah 26:3. A listener question from last week’s "Embracing the Unknown" sparks a deep dive into trusting God amid life’s challenges.
