Have you ever felt like God placed a dream in your heart—but fear, insecurity, or self-doubt kept you from taking the next step?

Maybe you’ve wondered:
What if I fail?
What will people think?
What if I heard God wrong?

If any of those questions sound familiar, this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast will encourage your heart deeply.

I had the joy of talking with author and entrepreneur Taneshia Yerby about her book From Dreams to Drive: Trust God’s Plan, Embrace Your Gifts, and Walk in Purpose. Together, we had an honest conversation about overcoming fear, trusting God’s timing, and finding the courage to move forward—even when you still feel unsure.

Taneshia shares so much wisdom about:
• Moving from dreaming to actually doing
• Overcoming comparison and fear of failure
• Trusting God when the path feels unclear
• Using your gifts to serve others
• Staying faithful while you wait for what’s next

Friend, if God has placed something on your heart, don’t let fear keep you stuck. Your obedience may impact generations of people you’ll never even meet. I pray this conversation encourages you to trust God, take the next faithful step, and remember that He will guide you as you go.

With love,
Rachael

P.S. If this episode encourages you, would you share it with a friend? You never know who may need the reminder that it’s not too late to pursue what God has called them to do.

The Love Offering

In this encouraging episode of The Love Offering Podcast, Rachael Adams sits down with author and entrepreneur Taneshia Yerby to discuss what it looks like to move from dreaming about your purpose to courageously walking it out. Together, they talk honestly about overcoming fear, self-doubt, comparison, and the pressure of other people’s opinions while learning to trust God’s timing and direction. Through personal stories and biblical encouragement, Taneshia reminds listeners that God often calls ordinary, imperfect people to take faithful steps of obedience long before they feel fully ready. This conversation will inspire women to stop overthinking, trust the gifts God has placed within them, and boldly pursue the purpose He has prepared for their lives.

Have you ever felt like everything depends on you? Like if you stop striving, planning, fixing, organizing, or carrying it all… everything might fall apart? If so, this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast is especially for you.

I had the joy of sitting down with my friend Nichole J. Suvar to talk about her beautiful book, I Don’t Have to Hold It All Together: Cultivating the Peace of Eden When Feeling Overwhelmed. And honestly? This conversation ministered deeply to my own heart.

Nichole vulnerably shares her personal journey with anxiety, perfectionism, and the exhausting pressure to keep everything together. Together, we talked about:

• Why so many women feel overwhelmed and anxious today
• The illusion of control and the burden of perfectionism
• How God designed us for rest, peace, boundaries, and community
• What it looks like to release outcomes to God
• Why true peace isn’t something we create—it’s something we receive

One of my favorite reminders from our conversation was this:

“You don’t have to hold it all together. God is already holding you.”

What a freeing truth.

If you’ve been carrying too much, striving too hard, or feeling weary in this season, I pray this episode feels like a deep exhale for your soul. Friend, may you remember today: God never asked you to carry what only He was meant to hold.

With love,
Rachael

P.S. If this episode encouraged you, would you consider forwarding it to a friend who may need this reminder too? Sometimes the greatest gift we can offer someone is simply letting them know they’re not alone.

Have you ever wondered, “Am I the only one who feels this overwhelmed?” Or quietly questioned if you’re doing any of this motherhood thing “right”?

In this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast, I had the sweetest conversation with Andrea Fortenberry—author of Two Minute Timeouts for New Moms—and I think her words will feel like a deep breath for your soul.

Andrea gently reminds us that motherhood is both beautiful and hard. From the sleepless newborn days to the bittersweet seasons of letting go, every stage carries its own mix of joy and stretching. And yet, in all of it, you are not alone—and you were never meant to do this on your own.

We talked about:
• Why so many moms feel overwhelmed and isolated (and the truth that sets us free)
• How pride can quietly keep us from asking for the help we truly need
• Letting go of perfectionism and embracing “good enough” motherhood
• Finding meaningful moments with God—even in the middle of a full, busy day
• Releasing mom guilt and receiving God’s grace for yourself

One of my favorite reminders from our conversation is this: God knows your season. He sees the late nights, the messy middle, the quiet prayers whispered in the bathroom, and He meets you right there with love and grace.

If your heart feels a little tired or stretched thin, I pray this episode encourages you to pause, breathe, and remember that you are doing better than you think.

And if a friend comes to mind who might need this encouragement too, would you share it with her? Sometimes the smallest encouragement can make the biggest difference.

You are deeply loved, friend, and what you’re doing matters more than you know.

Have you ever felt like life didn’t turn out the way you expected—or on the timeline you hoped for?

Maybe you’ve looked around and wondered if you’re somehow behind.

In this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast, I sat down with author and poet Tanner Olson to talk about his book Getting Through What You are Going Through and what it looks like to walk through seasons of uncertainty, waiting, and even grief while still holding onto hope.

Through his own story of infertility, waiting, and ultimately adoption, he reminds us that God is present—not just at the end of our story, but right in the middle of it. If you’re in a season that feels heavy or unclear, this conversation will gently encourage your heart.

In this episode, we talk about:
What to do when life feels off track
How to trust God’s timing when it’s different than yours
Why we shouldn’t just get through hard seasons—but go through them
Finding hope in the small, everyday moments

Friend, if you’re feeling behind today, I hope this reminds you—you’re not. God is still writing your story, and He hasn’t forgotten you.

With love,
Rachael
