40. How to Navigate Change with Peace and not Anxiety
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Change is inevitable… but bitterness doesn’t have to be.
In this episode, Jenna and Debbie talk about what it looks like to respond to change with faith—especially when it’s unwanted, unexpected, or uncomfortable. Debbie shares a vulnerable personal update (and a reminder to take your health seriously), and together they unpack why some people get stuck looking backward while others learn how to embrace what God is doing next.
You’ll hear:
- Why change can feel extra hard when you’re wired for routine
- The difference between resisting change vs. adapting with trust
- How bitterness can block blessings (and how to shift your posture)
- A powerful story of faith after a life-altering setback
- The anchor verse for every season: Hebrews 13:8 — “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”
Question to reflect on:
How do you typically respond when change shows up in your life—fear, frustration… or faith?
