Growing Through It
Welcome to the "Growing Through It" podcast, where your host, Lyla Anne, is dedicated to guiding listeners towards a deeper connection with God. More than just a title, "Growing Through It" is an understanding that every experience we endure is purposeful. We firmly believe that in the eyes of the Lord, nothing is without meaning or value.
Grounded in the teachings of the Word, this podcast aims to accompany listeners whether they're new to their faith journey or have walked this path for years. Whether you're experiencing life's highs and lows or simply navigating through the routines of everyday life, what matters most to us is that Jesus is leading the way for you.
For those seeking to deepen their connection with God yet feeling uncertain about where or how to begin, this podcast was made just for you. Let’s grow through it together.

Leaving Survival Mode | How God Can Make You Soft Again

I think a lot of women secretly want their softness back.
We want to feel gentle again. We want to feel safe enough to be feminine, to be warm. But somewhere along the way, life taught us that softness isn’t safe. So we built walls. We learned how to protect ourselves. We became “the strong one.”
And sometimes that strength was necessary. Sometimes it helped us survive.
But if we’re honest… a lot of us are tired of it.
In this episode, I want to talk about the tension so many women feel between strength and softness. What biblical femininity actually looks like, why the world slowly hardens our hearts, and how God becomes the place where we can finally lay our weapons down.
Because true femininity isn’t weakness.
Gentleness isn’t fragility.
And softness isn’t something you have to earn from the world.
God is the place where our hearts learn how to soften again.
Where we can be “just a girl” with a father who loves us.
