Step Into Bold Faith: Grow closer to God & Walk with Jesus
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.

14. How Christ Helps Us Heal & Forgive with Samantha
In this episode of Step Into Bold Faith, Whitney interviews Samantha to talk about her powerful journey releasing unforgiveness and bitterness, and the healing that can come through Christ.
Samantha opens up about the pain caused by her father’s actions, how resentment once felt justified, and the moment she realized she couldn’t heal on her own.
Her story is real, redemptive, and a beautiful reminder that even when our hearts feel broken beyond repair, God can bring peace, forgiveness, and emotional freedom.
If You’ve Been Asking Questions Like:
- How do I forgive someone who has hurt me deeply?
- What if I still feel justified in my pain?
- How can I break cycles of bitterness for my children and future generations?
- Is it possible to experience peace after years of emotional hurt?
- What role does faith play in finding real healing and freedom?
Then this episode is for you!
