Sermon Series Mentioned: Inside Out x Purpose City Church Start Here

If you're in a season transition and questioning how your now is connected to your next, let's chat! Together, we’ll unpack what it really means to live out faith as an action—believing that even the hard seasons are for our growth, our peace, and ultimately, our good. My prayer is that this episode encourages you to release doubt, lean into faith, and find peace knowing that every season, no matter how it feels, has purpose. So, if you’ve been feeling uncertain or impatient in your season, this episode is your reminder to be expectant, stay grateful, and keep Faithin’ It - it's for your good.

If so, tune in for an impactful lesson on the Biblical strategy that I've been using to combat emotional drunkenness, and move in spiritual sobriety.

In this episode of The Faithin It Podcast, I’m inviting you to explore what it really means to live limitless in Christ. Together, we’ll look at how God’s boundaries and discipline aren’t meant to hold us back, but to guide and grow us. Through lessons from my own motherhood journey, personal reflection, and Scripture in Hebrews 11–12, I’ll share how faith, stewardship, and obedience lead to true peace and purpose. If you’ve ever struggled with balance, burnout, or felt like saying “no” holds you back, this episode will remind you that God’s limits are love—and that real freedom is found in faith

If so, this episode is for you! Get your notebook ready, this episode is filled with Biblical strategy for the battlefield. Suit up,sis! It's time to Fight Back! 

In this episode, we're continuing our series: Building Better Boundaries, and I’m sharing how the law of power shows us that while we can’t control everything, we do have the power to lean on God, set healthy boundaries, and ask for help. I talk about how the serenity prayer gave me peace when I was overwhelmed, the scriptures that remind us we’re not powerless, and practical ways to let the Holy Spirit guide our daily choices. Sis, you don’t have to do it all on your own—you have the power to surrender it to God and walk in His wisdom.

As we enter our new series: Building Better Boundaries, let me start by saying - boundaries aren’t optional—they’re biblical. God calls us to set them so we can fully step into who He’s created us to be. In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve been learning from the book Boundaries and how it connects to stewardship, self-control, and discipline. Together, we’ll talk about how to check where your boundaries are right now, get to the root of your boundary needs, and lean into prayer as we ask God to help us grow and Build Better Boundaries.

Hey sis! In this episode of Faithin it, I’m sharing a conviction that hit me hard—and I know it’s going to bless you too. Bad boundaries lead to bad stewardship. Whew! From impulse shopping and Shein hauls to mishandling time, money, and even our callings—this is a heart-to-heart I had to have with myself, and now I’m inviting you into it too.

We walk through Luke 16, reflect on real-life examples, and I share how the Lord convicted me in Ross (yes, that Ross). We're talking real accountability, internal shifts, and honoring the things God already gave us—before we go asking for more.

Hey sis! Are you caught up in the hustle and bustle of becoming, that it's becoming hard to just be? Today we’re diving into how hustle culture hurts your effectiveness for the Kingdom of God.

I want to remind you that becoming is just as much about unlearning as it it learning, and we’re confronting a lie many God-fearing, goal-driven women have come to believe: that we must operate with "no days off" in order to honor God, serve others, or reach our goals.

But sis, that’s not biblical—it’s burnout.

Tune it, as we dive into the importance of honoring the Sabbath, not just as a day off, but as a divine command and a gift from God. 

If you’ve been running on fumes and calling it “faith”... sis, take a breath. This one’s for you.

Scriptures Mentioned:

• Matthew 11:28
• Genesis 2:2
• Deuteronomy 5:12–15
• Exodus 16:13–30
• Luke 6:6–10

• Philippians 4:6–8

In this powerful and transparent episode, LeShawnda dives into the topic of letting God rebrand you from the inside out. In a world obsessed with outward appearances, personal branding, and "becoming her," this episode calls us to pause and examine what it means to undergo a spiritual identity shift led by God—not culture.

LeShawnda shares personal experiences of how God stripped her of performance-based identity and rooted her confidence in Christ, even down to reclaiming her given name. Through the analogy of plants and pruning, she explores how God works beneath the surface, in our "root zone," to bring about lasting transformation.

Tune in for a much needed mindset shift, and the invitation to allow God to rebrand your heart, mindset, and habits, so you can flourish in purpose, identity, and fruitfulness.

You’ll be encouraged to:

Boldly share your story so others can encounter Christ

On the journey of becoming, it's important to just be... In this episode is the girl chat that you didn't know you needed, but feels like a phone call that's right on time.

Sharing her own experiences with hustle culture, imposter syndrome, and the emotional challenges of accepting God’s fatherly love, LeShawnda speaks candidly about the power of stillness, obedience, and spiritual rest.

It's time to stop measuring your worth by performance or perfection and instead find confidence in your identity as daughters of God. The message is simple but powerful: Don’t lose yourself in becoming —just be.

In this episode, we unpack how the desire to “become better” can quietly lead us into a trap of self-idolatry—putting our goals, habits, and image above God's truth. Sis, if you’ve been doing all the "right things", but still feel exhausted, spiritually stuck, or low-key resentful, this is your moment to pause and repent.

We walk through the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18:9-14, and I break down how even our well-intentioned striving can turn into a performance rooted in pride or people-pleasing. We talk real about how burnout isn’t always from laziness—it can actually come from idolizing your own efforts and losing sight of grace.

Together, we’ll identify what’s been sitting on the throne of your heart, how to release control, and how to realign your worth with what God already says about you. Press pray. and prepare your heart to be transformed by the power of God.

In this powerful episode, I'm kicking off our Identity Series by diving deep into the question: Who do you say you are? 

I'm sharing personal insights into my journey of discovering my identity in Christ,from my struggles with fear, people-pleasing, and imposter syndrome. I open up about hesitating to call myself a “woman of God” and how God has patiently refined me through Scripture, faith, and vulnerability. 

This episode calls you to shift your focus from society’s version of the “highest self” to embracing who they are in Christ. I'm also referencing The Awe of God by John Bevere, to discuss the differences between our perceived, projected, and actual selves.

Whether you’re in the midst of spiritual growth or wrestling with your purpose, this episode encourages you to let go of worldly validation and root your identity in God's truth.

In this powerful episode of Fatihin' It, I dive deep into what it truly means to become the Proverbs 31 woman — beyond the to-do lists and performance. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to "be her," this episode is for you. This episode explores the heart, character, and spiritual foundation of the Proverbs 31 woman, challenging you to stop striving in YOUR strength and start walking in partnership with God.

Whether you're on your glow-up journey, building your faith, or seeking spiritual growth as a Christian woman, this episode will inspire and equip you to become her — God's way.

In this episode of faithin' it, LeShawnda tackles the all‑too‑common myth that becoming a Christian means an instant trouble‑free life. She unpacks three ineffective “self‑care” responses to disappointment—isolating, ignoring, and over‑compensating—and offers a faith‑based alternative: casting your cares on Jesus (Matthew 11:28) , speaking God’s Word as your spiritual sword (Ephesians 6:17), and clinging to His promises through trials (James 1:2‑4; Galatians 6:9). You’ll walk away with practical steps to process frustration without sinking into it, embrace God’s true rest, and turn your setbacks into testimonies of His faithfulness.
