Are you truly prepared for the moment God calls your name?In this episode of The Purpose City Church Podcast, we continue our powerful message series, Unstoppable: A Journey Through the Book of Acts. Speaker Kyle Welton takes us into Acts chapter 13 to unpack what it means to live in a constant state of spiritual preparation."Jesus will call, but you prepare in His presence."Through the unexpected stories of football legend Tom Brady, a high school driver's education lesson, and the first missionary journey of Barnabas and Saul, Kyle illustrates that our walk with God is about deep communion rather than transactional rewards. We also learn how to navigate, confront, and overcome the inevitable opposition that comes when we step out in obedience.Key Takeaways From This MessageThe Purpose of Preparation: True preparation is a daily walk of worship, prayer, and fasting. It requires positioning your mind, body, and soul to submit entirely to His authority.Diversity in the Kingdom: A profound look at how the early church at Antioch intentionally brought together people from completely different backgrounds, colors, and nationalities for one single mission.Overcoming Spiritual Opposition: Why obedience often attracts warfare, and how Paul used the power and discernment of the Holy Spirit to look the enemy in the eye and stand in victory.Intergenerational Unity: A vital call for the older generation to actively pass down their wisdom and for the younger generation to remain humble, coachable, and ready to learn.Reflection Questions For Your WeekHave you positioned your daily life to be consistently immersed in the presence of God?Did you do the last thing that God explicitly told you to do?Are you attempting to walk this journey of faith alone, or are you actively connecting with a community of believers?Next Steps and ResourcesJoin a Purpose Group: Do not allow the enemy to isolate you. Connect with brothers and sisters in Christ by joining a Purpose Group at Purpose City Church.Share the Message: If this episode ignited something in your faith, share it with a friend or family member who needs spiritual encouragement today.Stay Connected: Subscribe to The Purpose City Church Podcast on RedCircle or your favorite podcast platform to receive automatic updates every time a new episode drops.

FINDING GOD PODCAST — SHOW NOTESEpisode: When Prayer Feels Hard — How to Pray When You're Hurt, Angry, or NumbEpisode SummaryIn this deeply honest episode of the Finding God Podcast, Keana speaks to the believer who wants to pray but feels stuck — the one who is hurting, angry, numb, or spiritually exhausted. Prayer can feel impossible in seasons of pain, but Scripture shows us that God meets us gently in those moments. This episode explores why prayer becomes difficult, how trauma and emotional overwhelm affect our ability to connect with God, and how to approach prayer with honesty instead of pressure.✨ Recap of Last Week's EpisodeKeana revisits last week's conversation, What God's Voice Sounds Like When You're Healing, reminding listeners that God's voice is gentle, patient, and compassionate. Healing helps us separate God's voice from fear, shame, or past wounds — a foundation that prepares us for today's discussion on praying through pain.✨ What We Cover in This Episode1. Why Prayer Feels Hard in Painful SeasonsHow emotional overwhelm and survival mode affect prayerWhy numbness is a protective response, not spiritual failureHow anger toward God creates shame and avoidanceInsights from psychologists like Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Diane Langberg, and Dr. Julie Gottman2. Biblical Examples of People Who Struggled to PrayDavid's honest laments (Psalms 13, 22, 42)Hannah's wordless prayer in bitterness of soulElijah's exhaustion and despair in 1 Kings 19Job's raw questions and emotional honestyJesus' agony in Gethsemane3. What to Do When You Can't PrayPraying honestly instead of perfectlyUsing breath, silence, and stillness as prayerBorrowing prayers from Scripture, worship, or written prayersPraying small, simple, one‑sentence prayersAllowing God to come to you instead of striving4. Bible Verses for Hard SeasonsPsalm 34:18Romans 8:26Psalm 13Psalm 42:5Matthew 11:281 Peter 5:75. Practical Ways to Reconnect With GodCreating a safe prayer spaceUsing grounding techniques before prayerJournaling your prayersPraying through music or ScriptureGiving yourself permission to slow down✨ Key TakeawayGod is not disappointed in your struggle. Prayer is not a performance — it's presence. God meets you in your numbness, your silence, your anger, and your tears. You are not failing spiritually. You are healing, and God is near.

In this episode of the Worth Loving Podcast, Keana dives deep into the complicated world of dating apps and explores whether they're helping or hurting modern dating. With her signature trauma‑informed, emotionally grounded approach, she breaks down how dating apps impact self‑worth, emotional health, and the way women show up in relationships. This episode is honest, compassionate, and full of clarity — perfect for anyone navigating the digital dating world.✨ Episode RecapBefore jumping into today's topic, Keana recaps last week's episode, Why Your Self‑Worth Determines Your Love Life. She revisits the core message: your sense of worth shapes who you choose, what you tolerate, and how you show up in relationships. When your self‑worth is low, dating becomes confusing and painful. When it's healthy, you date with clarity and confidence. This foundation sets the stage for understanding how dating apps affect your emotional experience.✨ What We Cover in This Episode1. The Promise of Dating AppsHow dating apps expand your access to potential partnersWhy convenience can be helpful for busy womenHow apps can support self‑discovery and clarityWhen dating apps can be empowering and aligned with healthy self‑worth2. The Problems With Dating AppsThe paradox of choice and how it leads to shallow connectionsGhosting, breadcrumbing, and emotional burnoutHow curated profiles create unrealistic expectationsWhy dating apps can amplify insecurity and comparison3. The Psychology Behind Dating AppsDopamine, novelty, and the addictive nature of swipingHow apps trigger old patterns and unhealed woundsWhy understanding the psychology helps you take your power back4. How to Use Dating Apps in a Healthy WaySetting emotional boundaries before you download an appCreating a profile rooted in authenticity, not performanceRed flags to watch for earlyHow to pace conversations and avoid fantasy‑bondingWhen to take breaks and protect your emotional energy5. So… Do Dating Apps Help or Hurt?Keana offers a balanced, grounded conclusion: dating apps are neutral. They can help when you're dating from worthiness, and they can hurt when you're dating from loneliness or insecurity. Your self‑worth — not the app — determines your experience.✨ Reflection Questions for ListenersUse these questions to check in with yourself as you navigate dating apps:Why am I using dating apps right now — connection or validation?Do I feel more confident or more insecure after using them?What boundaries do I need to protect my emotional energy?What patterns do I notice in the people I match with?Am I choosing from worthiness or from loneliness?✨ Final ThoughtsDating apps can be a helpful tool — but they should never define your worth. Keana encourages listeners to date with intention, protect their peace, and remember that they deserve love that feels safe, consistent, and emotionally nourishing.✨ Connect With the ShowIf this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who needs encouragement on their dating journey.

✨ Episode SummaryIn this week's Q&A episode, Keana answers powerful listener questions about how self‑worth shapes your dating life, your patterns, and the partners you choose.

In this week's episode, Keana explores a question many believers wrestle with but rarely say out loud: What does God's voice actually sound like when you're healing?When you've walked through trauma, heartbreak, or long seasons of survival mode, your ability to hear God can feel distorted. Not because God has changed — but because your nervous system, your trust, and your internal world are shifting.This episode gently unpacks how healing transforms the way you perceive God's voice, how to distinguish His voice from fear or shame, and how to recognize the tender, patient, protective tone God uses with His wounded children.If you're in a season of rebuilding your faith, reconnecting with God, or learning to trust His voice again, this episode will meet you right where you are.

In today's Q&A session, we're taking your questions about how to use affirmations in real‑life situations — insecurity, dating, triggers, heartbreak, and choosing affirmations that actually work.This episode builds on yesterday's main episode about the power of affirmations and how they reshape your internal dialogue, strengthen your boundaries, and support healthier relationships.✨ In This Episode, We Explore:How to use affirmations when you feel insecureWhat to say to yourself before a dateHow affirmations help when you're triggeredAffirmations for heartbreak and disappointmentHow to choose affirmations that feel believable and effective

In this week's episode, we're diving deep into the power of affirmations — not the trendy, surface‑level kind, but the kind that actually reshape your internal dialogue, interrupt old patterns, and help you build healthier relationships with yourself and others.Affirmations are more than positive statements. They're tools that help you challenge the beliefs you've internalized from past relationships, trauma, or childhood experiences. When used intentionally, they support emotional safety, strengthen your boundaries, and help you show up in relationships with clarity and confidence.Before we explore affirmations, we take a moment to recap last week's episode on Recognizing Red Flags in Early Dating, where we talked about how to identify early signs of emotional unavailability, inconsistency, and boundary‑pushing and why trusting your intuition is essential. This week's conversation builds on that foundation by helping you develop the internal voice that protects your peace and guides your choices.

In today's special Q&A episode, we're diving deeper into the questions you submitted about love bombing, genuine interest, emotional pacing, boundaries, and rebuilding self‑trust. This conversation is honest, grounding, and full of clarity for anyone navigating early relationships while healing from past hurt.We explore why intensity can feel like connection, how to recognize emotional pressure in real time, and what healthy interest actually looks like when you're still learning to trust yourself. Every question in this episode reflects the courage and vulnerability of this community and I'm honored to walk through them with you.What We CoverHow to recognize when someone is moving too fastThe fear of confusing genuine interest with manipulationWhy intensity feels familiar when you've experienced traumaHow love bombing shows up in friendships and faith communitiesWhat healthy interest looks and feels likeRebuilding trust in yourself after being love bombedChoosing peace over “nice”How to slow things down without losing the connectionKey TakeawaysYour body often senses pressure before your mind names it.Consistency is a better indicator of safety than intensity.Trauma can make chaos feel like chemistry — but you can learn a new rhythm.Love bombing isn't limited to romantic relationships.Healthy interest respects your boundaries and your pace.Self‑trust grows through small decisions and gentle awareness.You don't need a dramatic reason to walk away — discomfort is enough.Reflection QuestionsUse these for journaling or inside the Worth Loving Collective:What does “moving too fast” feel like in my body?Do I feel safe slowing down a connection?What patterns do I notice in people who feel safe vs. unsafe?How do I want healthy interest to show up in my life?What small decision can I make this week to rebuild trust in myself?Join the Worth Loving CollectiveIf you're navigating these questions in your own life and want a safe, supportive community to walk with you, the Worth Loving Collective on Skool is open to you.Inside, we explore relationships, boundaries, emotional safety, and rebuilding self‑worth — all in a trauma‑informed, spiritually grounded space.You don't have to heal alone.Final EncouragementYou deserve a love that honors your pace.You deserve clarity, not confusion.You deserve a connection that feels steady, not overwhelming.And you deserve to trust yourself again one gentle step at a time. 

This week on Finding God, we're dismantling the fear-based belief that God is watching and waiting to punish us. If you've ever carried the weight of shame, guilt, or spiritual anxiety, this episode is for you. Keana W. Mitchell offers a trauma-informed, biblically grounded conversation about the true nature of God's love one rooted in grace, not retribution.We'll explore how distorted theology can shape our emotional lives, and how healing begins when we embrace the truth: God is not against you. He's for you. Always.

In this week's episode, we're unpacking a topic that so many people navigating healing and relationships struggle with: the difference between love bombing and genuine interest. If you've ever felt confused by early intensity in a relationship or wondered whether someone's attention was real or manipulative, this conversation will bring clarity and peace.We explore why love bombing feels so powerful, how trauma can make intensity feel like love, and what healthy, steady interest actually looks like. You'll walk away with practical tools to discern the difference and the reassurance that you deserve a love that feels safe, grounded, and real.What We CoverWhat love bombing is and why it's so confusingThe emotional and psychological impact of early intensityHow genuine interest shows up in healthy relationshipsThe key differences between intensity and consistencyWhy your nervous system may mistake chaos for connectionQuestions to help you discern someone's intentions in real timeWhat healthy interest looks like when you're healingEncouragement for anyone who has been love bombed beforeKey TakeawaysLove bombing is fast, intense, and overwhelming. It pushes past boundaries and creates emotional dependency.Genuine interest is steady, respectful, and consistent. It gives you space to breathe and choose.Your past conditioning may make intensity feel familiar, but familiar doesn't always mean healthy.You are allowed to slow down, ask questions, and take your time getting to know someone.You deserve a love that doesn't confuse your nervous system.Reflection QuestionsUse these for journaling or discussion inside the Worth Loving Collective:Does this connection feel rushed or pressured?Do I feel safe saying no or slowing down?Are their actions consistent over time?Do I feel grounded or overwhelmed around this person?Am I choosing this connection, or am I being swept into it?Final EncouragementYou are worthy of a love that honors your pace, respects your boundaries, and sees you without trying to consume you. Healing teaches you to recognize the difference and to choose what truly supports your heart.

“Being a father is probably one of the toughest and most rewarding jobs I've ever had. A lot of the principles I used to teach snipers apply to kids: dealing with negativity, replacing negative self-talk, learning that well-meaning adults can say terrible things — and you don't have to take that on as baggage.” — Brandon Webb Brandon Webb defines himself as an author, entrepreneur, Navy SEAL sniper, and father. But not in that order. The first three he leveraged into a series of bestselling books about the art of sniping. The fourth — the art of being a loving father — he dodged and ducked for years. But fatherhood might be Webb's real calling. People regularly pulled him aside after meeting his grown children to ask him about his “secret” for being an effective dad. His kids were making eye contact, they were asking good questions rather than staring at their phones. Most astonishingly, they seemed happy. Webb's new book, Puddle Jumpers: Simple and Proven Ways to Raise Confident and Joyful Kids, reveals his secret of parenting. It applies the positive performance psychology Webb learned as a Navy SEAL sniper instructor — how to redirect negative self-talk, how to deal with well-meaning adults who say damaging things, how to build mental toughness without destroying connection — to the work of raising children. It outlines his parenting philosophy of both high expectations and high support. Think of Puddle Jumpers as simultaneously the manual for tiger and the bunny parenting. Brandon Webb's ultimate calling in life is as a parent. Father, author, entrepreneur and Navy SEAL sniper. In that order. Five Takeaways •       The Sniper Instructor as Parenting Coach: Webb was running the Navy SEAL sniper program at 27 years old. The psychology they taught there — positive self-talk, replacing negative internal narratives, dealing with adversity without being broken by it — is what he applied to parenting. The connection is not as strange as it sounds: both sniping and parenting require performing under pressure, dealing with failure without catastrophising, and building confidence that is genuine rather than brittle. The difference is that the stakes in parenting last a lifetime. •       High Expectations, High Support: Webb's alternative to the false choice between permissive parenting and authoritarian discipline. Permissive parenting replaces preparation with protection. Authoritarian discipline breaks connection. Puddle Jumper Parenting holds both simultaneously: clear expectations and emotional safety. Kids need to know what's required of them. They also need to know they won't be abandoned when they fail. Webb's word for children raised this way: puddle jumpers — kids who leap into life's messy moments with full-hearted abandon, not because they're fearless but because they trust themselves to recover. •       The Credit Card Lesson: Don't Bail Them Out: Webb's son Jackson managed a self-storage facility through college and ended up with a $25,000 ownership payout as a sophomore at St Andrews. He spent it like a drunken sailor on shore leave, got a credit card, ran up $12,000 in debt at predatory interest rates, and called his father for help. Webb's response: you remember that conversation we had? Figure it out. He let his son suffer. Jackson's girlfriend hated Webb for two years. At the end, Jackson paid off the debt with a new business and told his father it was one of the best lessons he'd ever been taught. It would have been easy to bail him out. The suffering was the lesson. •       Purpose and the War Veteran: Viktor Frankl's Lesson: How does a combat veteran come home intact? Webb's answer: purpose. His Afghanistan deployment had clear moral logic — the propaganda posters in the caves, the training camps, the towers. That clarity carried him through. Iraq was different. Soldiers who went to Iraq with no understanding of why they were there — and whose friends in 2010 were saying we have no idea what we're doing here — came home broken. Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning: purpose is the thing that makes endurance possible. Without it, violence that cannot be assigned rational meaning produces serious mental illness. •       Teach Kids About Money: The American Economy Preys on Them: Webb has strong opinions: America's economy is largely fuelled by consumer debt. Credit card companies prey on college students because they know the parents will bail them out. Kids need to understand the system before the system takes advantage of them. His prescription: teach them age-appropriate financial literacy early. The Acorns Early app gamifies financial learning for children. The deal he struck with all his kids in college: I pay for school, you have a roof and food, but if you want to socialise, get a job. The lesson is not just about money. It's about agency. About the Guest Brandon Webb is a combat-decorated Navy SEAL sniper, multiple New York Times bestselling author, Harvard Business School alumnus, and father of three. He is the author of Puddle Jumpers: Simple and Proven Ways to Raise Confident and Joyful Kids (Authors Equity/Simon & Schuster, May 12, 2026), The Red Circle, The Killing School, and The Making of a Navy SEAL. He divides his time between Portugal and New York City. References: •       Puddle Jumpers: Simple and Proven Ways to Raise Confident and Joyful Kids by Brandon Webb (Authors Equity/Simon & Schuster, May 12, 2026). •       Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning — Webb cites it as one of his favourite books, and the source of his thinking on purpose and combat trauma. •       Episode 2888: Helen Benedict on The Soldier's House — directly referenced in the interview; Webb's purpose-in-war argument is the complement to Benedict's moral injury argument. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

In this week's episode of the Finding God Podcast, Keana W. Mitchell breaks down one of the most misunderstood and overlooked aspects of child protection in faith communities: grooming and manipulation tactics. These behaviors are often subtle, strategic, and wrapped in kindness, spirituality, or trust — which is exactly why they go unnoticed until harm has already occurred.Building on last week's episode about preventing child sexual abuse in the church, Keana explains what grooming is, what manipulation is, how they differ, and how they work together to create access, secrecy, and control. Drawing from leading psychologists such as Dr. Anna Salter, Dr. David Finkelhor, Dr. Diane Langberg, and Dr. Wade Mullen, this episode offers a clear, research‑based understanding of how predators operate — especially in faith‑based environments.Listeners will learn how to recognize red flags, how adults can be groomed without realizing it, what grooming and manipulation look like inside a church setting, and how these tactics impact victims emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually.

This week on The Worth Loving Podcast, relationship coach Keana W. Mitchell breaks down two of the most confusing and often overlooked forms of betrayal in modern relationships: emotional affairs and micro‑cheating.

But their impact can be just as painful and just as damaging as physical infidelity.In this episode, Keana explains the difference between these two forms of boundary‑crossing behavior, how to spot the early signs, and why they matter. Drawing from the research of leading psychologists like Dr. John Gottman, Dr. Shirley Glass, and Esther Perel, she breaks down how emotional affairs form, what micro‑cheating looks like, and how both can erode trust and emotional safety in a relationship.You'll also hear a recap of last week's episode on deciding whether to stay or leave after infidelity, plus a deep dive into Dr. Shirley Glass's powerful Walls and Windows Theory — a framework that explains how emotional affairs develop and how couples can begin to rebuild trust.Whether you're healing from betrayal, trying to understand your partner's behavior, or simply wanting to strengthen your relationship, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and practical guidance.

Building on the main episode, “Should I Stay With My Partner Who Cheated?”, this conversation dives deeper into the emotional, psychological, and relational layers of betrayal — all through a compassionate, research‑informed lens.Keana breaks down why betrayal hurts so deeply, how to tell whether a partner is truly capable of rebuilding trust, and what clarity looks like when you feel overwhelmed and confused.

This episode is gentle, grounding, and designed to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom during one of the hardest decisions a person can face.❓ What We Answer in This Episode1. “Why does it hurt so much even though I know the cheating wasn't my fault?”Keana explains the emotional and neurological impact of betrayal, why your body reacts like it's been traumatized, and why your pain is a reflection of your humanity not your blame.2. “How do I know if my partner is actually capable of rebuilding trust?”Using Gottman's Atone → Attune → Attach model and Dr. Shirley Glass's “walls and windows” framework, Keana outlines the behaviors that signal real accountability versus empty promises.3. “How do I make a decision when I feel so confused?”Confusion is normal after betrayal. Keana offers grounding questions inspired by Harriet Lerner to help you find clarity without rushing or abandoning yourself.4. “Is it possible to heal even if I decide to leave?”Keana discusses what healing looks like outside the relationship from rebuilding self‑worth to regulating your nervous system and reclaiming your identity.5. “What are the signs that reconciliation is actually unsafe?”Keana highlights the red flags that make reconciliation emotionally dangerous, including minimization, defensiveness, lack of transparency, and repeated patterns.

In this powerful and necessary episode of the Finding God Podcast, host Keana W. Mitchell begins a 4‑part series on how to prevent child sexual abuse in the church.

Episode: Understanding Child Sexual Abuse in the ChurchEpisode SummaryIn this powerful and necessary episode, we explore the realities of child sexual abuse in the church — how it happens, why it continues, and what we can do to prevent it. This conversation is grounded in compassion, education, and truth, without graphic detail or sensationalism.Using insights from Darkness to Light's Stewards of Children Training, we break down grooming behaviors, institutional patterns, and the systems that allow abuse to go unnoticed. We also discuss why children rarely disclose abuse and how adults can respond in ways that protect and empower them.Because many listeners come from faith backgrounds, this episode also includes short, public‑domain Bible verses that affirm something essential: ✨ Protecting children is biblical. ✨ Reporting abuse is biblical. ✨ Exposing wrongdoing is biblical.This episode is part of our April series for Child Sexual Abuse Awareness Month.
