Welcome to Step Into Bold Faith — a podcast for young women who are ready to grow closer to God through building a real relationship with Him, and walk confidently with Jesus!
I'm your host, Whitney Gardner, and I share real-life reflections, practical resources, and answer honest questions that don't require you to be further ahead or advanced in your knowledge of Scripture. You will leave feeling educated, inspired, and motivated on your spiritual journey!
I'm also inviting you to join a community of Christian besties who are ready to grab their Bibles, open their hearts, & live a Christ-centered life inside the Collective linked in the show notes!
Psalm 16:11 – “You reveal the path of life to me; in your presence there is abundant joy; at your right hand are eternal pleasures.”
This show is partnered with Five Thirteen Media, a Kingdom-driven media company built on Matthew 5:13.

5. Why "Self-Help" Isn't the Answer
In this episode of Step Into Bold Faith, I share my personal journey of leaving behind self-help and discovering that true, lasting personal growth and transformation can only be found in a relationship with God and through biblical principles.
I’ll talk about why so many self-help methods feel like watered-down versions of scripture, and why they ultimately leave us searching for more. Through reading the bible, prayer, and other practical spiritual habits, we find the peace, purpose, and joy the world can’t offer.
From affirmations rooted in God’s promises to prayerful meditation and devotional journaling, you’ll learn how to build daily habits that actually last.
If You’ve Been Asking Questions Like…
- Why doesn’t self-help ever seem to truly satisfy me?
- How can I find peace, purpose, and joy that lasts?
- What does the Bible say about personal growth and transformation?
- How do I replace self-help routines with faith-based practices?
- What simple daily habits can help me grow personally and spiritually?
Then this episode is for you!
