Welcome to the Sugar for Your Heart Podcast with Dentrecia Blanchette where we unpack emotional and mental wellness and wholeness through the framework of God's Word.
Let's talk about seeing the God who sees us in our not-so-perfect moments. Let's also explore how avoidance and running away from tough seasons can sometimes hurt us more than bring us relief (all through the lens of Hagar's incredible story of resilience). Grab your Bible and turn to Genesis 16 and listen in!
Let's delve into the moment where Sarah laughed at the promise of motherhood in the Bible. We discuss the struggle of dealing with doubt and processing ambiguous grief as we wait on God or attempt to make sense by what is happening around us.
Listen in as we speak about how to reframe anxiety and worry and check ourselves to listen more intently and humbly to God as He speaks...all through the lens of Habakkuk.
God can handle our questions, vulnerability, and who we are at our core. Listen as we unpack our scriptural focus for today, Habakkuk 1: 5-6.
Next year, we will be sharing weekly devotions, guided meditations and vulnerable conversations on faith, redemption, recovery, and emotional wellness. The first episode officially launches on January 2. Tune in every Sunday following the launch.
