Are you exhausted from trying to fix yourself? So many Christian women on the healing journey are striving for wholeness—believing peace will finally come once they “get it all together.” But what if you could live from wholeness instead of constantly working for it? In this episode of Affirming Truths, Christian Mental Health Coach Carla Arges shares how healing becomes lighter when we stop chasing worth and start living from our identity in Christ. Drawing from Colossians 2:10 and Ephesians 2:10, Carla shows that wholeness isn't something you have to earn—it's already yours through Jesus. If you're tired of performing for peace, this episode will help you find rest for your soul and confidence in who God says you already are. Did you know that Carla is a Christian Mental Health coach?

Have you ever been told that if you just had more faith, you'd be healed? This harmful message has left many believers struggling with guilt and shame, wondering if their faith is somehow “not enough.” In this episode of Affirming Truths, Christian Mental Health Coach Carla Arges unpacks what Scripture actually says about healing and faith. From Paul's unanswered prayer in 2 Corinthians 12 to the “heroes of faith” in Hebrews 11—many of whom never received their miracles on earth—we see that God's grace, not the size of our faith, is the foundation of our healing. Carla also explores how healing takes many forms: spiritual, emotional, and practical, often involving tools like therapy, medication, and community support. This episode is a powerful reminder that your healing journey does not disqualify your faith—it reveals God's ongoing grace in your life. Did you know that Carla is a Christian Mental Health coach?

Do you ever feel like what you have to offer God is just too small? Maybe it's your time, your finances, your energy, or even your faith.

Drawing from the miracles of Scripture and her own life, Carla reminds us that before the miracle comes, there's an invitation to surrender. What feels small in our eyes is often the very seed God uses to bring breakthrough. If you've been waiting on God for provision, healing, or direction, this episode will encourage you to take the step of faith and offer Him what you have today.

It's easy to pray for breakthrough while staying stuck in fear or inaction. In this episode, we look at the story of Jesus turning water into wine and reflect on what it means to “fill the jars” in our own lives.
