“What To Do When You’re Afraid of Making the Wrong Decision” With Grace Valentine, Meredith Brock, and Cailah Garcia
Have you ever felt stuck trying to make the right decision — afraid one wrong move could mess everything up? In this honest and practical conversation, Meredith Brock and Cailah Garcia sit down with author and speaker Grace Valentine to talk about what it looks like to make decisions with God instead of with anxiety. Through personal stories (including a hilarious texting mishap), biblical wisdom, and a deep dive into Proverbs 3:5-6, Grace reminds us that decision-making was never meant to be something we navigate alone. When we try to decode every outcome or gather endless opinions, we often spiral into chaos instead of stepping into wisdom. If you’re facing a big decision right now — or simply feeling overwhelmed by uncertainty — this episode will help you pause, seek God’s voice, and move forward with faith instead of fear. You’ll learn: Why trying to figure everything out on your own often leads to anxiety and overthinking. How Proverbs 3:5-6 gives a clear framework for navigating life’s decisions. What the difference is between seeking opinions and seeking godly wisdom. Why surrendering control is often the first step toward peace. How God can give you peace even when the decision in front of you feels uncomfortable. Resources From This Episode: Connect With Grace Valentine.

“When You Don’t Know What To Pray — And You’re Wondering if God Is Near” With Lysa TerKeurst, Kaley Olson, and Cailah Garcia
If you’ve ever sat down to pray and felt unsure of what to say — or wondered whether God is actually listening — this episode is for you. In this honest and hope-filled conversation, Kaley Olson and Cailah Garcia sit down with Lysa TerKeurst to talk about what prayer really is: not a performance, not perfect words, but daily dependence on a God who is already near. Together, they explore how to pray when you’re spiritually tired, how to discern whether you’re hearing God or just your own thoughts, and why asking for “daily bread” might be the most grounding prayer you can pray. If you’ve been wrestling with big unanswered prayers or quiet doubts, this episode gently reminds you that Jesus already came close to you — and He is not waiting for you to have it all together before you come to Him. You’ll learn: Why prayer is meant to be a conversation — not a performance. How praying Scripture helps you align your heart with God’s will. A simple daily prayer Lysa prays before her feet hit the floor. How to discern whether a thought is consistent with God’s Word and His ways. Resources From This Episode: Come Close to Jesus: What to Pray When You Need the Lord to Still Your Thoughts, Calm Your Heart, and Guide Your Way by Lysa TerKeurst. When you don’t know what to pray, this Scripture-rich prayer book offers guided prayers and biblical Truth to help you still your thoughts, calm your heart, and draw near to God — even in the middle of real life.
