Have you ever felt like you had to pick just one emotion? Like you couldn’t be grateful and frustrated at the same time? I used to think that if I trusted God, I had to be only faithful, only positive, only strong. But I’ve learned that’s not true. In this episode, I talk about the "And Ministry"—the idea that I can feel all of my emotions at once and still be exactly where I need to be. I share the biggest leap of faith I ever took, why I doubted it, and how embracing the "and" has changed the way I see my life, my faith, and my relationships.

I don’t have to choose between gratitude and struggle, faith and fear, love and frustration. I can hold them all at once. What if the key to peace isn’t eliminating emotions but accepting them all with an open heart?

Topics Discussed:

• The biggest leap of faith I ever took—and why I doubted it
• The "And Ministry"—how it’s helping me live more authentically
• Why pushing down emotions only makes things worse
• How trusting God and feeling frustrated can exist at the same time
• Why I’ve stopped forcing myself to be just grateful, happy, or strong
• A simple shift in language that has helped me change my mindset

This week’s affirmation:

“I get to add "and" into my life because it allows me to experience and feel all I’m feeling.”

Practical Exercise / Homework:

• Reflect and journal on this question: Where in your life do you need to add the "and"?
