Held, Healed & Empowered

Episode Description

Have you ever made a decision based on how you felt in the moment... only to look back and wish you had responded differently?

We've all been there.

Our emotions are real, and they're a gift from God. But they were never meant to lead our lives.

In this episode of Held, Healed, and Empowered, we're talking about what it looks like to live by conviction instead of emotion. You'll learn why your feelings make great indicators but poor leaders, how to recognize the beliefs driving your emotional responses, and how to anchor your decisions in the unchanging truth of God's Word.

If you've ever struggled with fear, discouragement, anxiety, or self-doubt, this conversation will encourage you to pause, examine what's happening beneath the surface, and choose truth over impulse.

In this episode, we'll explore:

• Why emotions are indicators, not dictators.

• What biblical conviction really is.

• How Jesus modeled living by conviction in the Garden of Gethsemane.

• Five practical questions to help you respond instead of react.

• How to build convictions that remain steady even when your emotions aren't.

My prayer is that you'll walk away feeling encouraged, grounded, and equipped to trust God's truth more than your feelings.

Remember: You don't have to believe everything you feel. But you can always trust what God says.

In this heartfelt episode, Amanda gets real about one of the quietest struggles we face after life shakes us: identity. Whether you’ve walked through divorce, grief, motherhood shifts, or major transitions—this conversation is for the woman asking, “Who am I now?” With honesty, scripture, and personal reflection, Amanda shares how to rediscover your God-given identity beyond the pain, performance, and roles you used to hold. It’s not about starting from scratch—it’s about returning to who God says you are.

Healing isn’t all highlight reels and pretty journal pages. Sometimes it looks like not showering for days, crying yourself to sleep, and wondering if you’ll ever feel “normal” again. I’m sharing the real story behind my healing journey — the hidden battles I fought, the prayers I couldn’t pray, and how God gently restored me piece by piece. If you feel like your healing process is messy, you’re not alone — and you’re exactly where God can work miracles.

What do you do when life breaks wide open and everything you once held onto feels shattered? In this raw and honest episode, Amanda opens up about a dark season of her life when she felt abandoned, overwhelmed, and unsure of how to keep going and how, in the midst of it all, God never left her side. If you’ve ever wondered where God is in your hardest moments, this episode will remind you that His presence is closest in the mess. You are not alone, and your healing can begin today.

In this heartfelt kickoff episode, Amanda Brothers shares the story behind the transformation from the Walking in the Glory of God Podcast to the newly rebranded Held, Healed & Empowered Podcast. You’ll hear the "why" behind the change, what listeners can expect moving forward, and how this new season is all about meeting women in their real, raw, and painful moments—and walking with them toward healing, identity, and empowerment in Christ. If you're navigating life after loss, transition, or heartbreak, this episode will remind you that you're not alone... and that healing is possible.

In this episode we are talking about our beliefs. In particular as they relate to how we see ourselves and how they can negatively affect what we say about ourselves and how we see ourselves if it is not positive. Be encouraged.

Welcome to today’s episode! I’m excited to talk about how you can reset, heal, and rebuild your life through faith. If you’re feeling lost or overwhelmed after a significant life change, you’re not alone, and there is hope for a new beginning.

We're talking about love today. Our world is in such a state of confusion, division and hatred and I believe God is calling us to love. It is time for the sons and daughters of God to Rise Up and Love.

Do you feel guilty or selfish when you think about taking time for yourself? Lots of people do. Did you know that Jesus felt it very necessary to take care of self. In this episode we will discover just how important Jesus felt it was to take time for self.

We've all had challenges when it comes to trusting, yet trust is what we need when it comes to our relationship with God. In this episode we talk about trusting God enough to release what you are holding onto so tightly and allowing Him to do more with it than you can ever do with it yourself.
