E22: Blessing Others

Welcome to Beyond Believing: Helping Christian Women Heal Post Divorce
In this episode, Katie begins a new series about being blessed in order to bless others. To begin, she defines for us what "love" and "truth" really mean, and how love doesn't always mean tolerance. There is no better definition or example of love than the love that comes from God.
Katie Anne is a Woman of God, a Certified Life Coach, a single mother of five amazing humans, and a woman whose journey through divorce deepened her faith and reshaped her future in ways she never expected. Growing up in the LDS (Mormon) religion, she always believed she had the "truth" of the gospel. All of that was radically challenged after she was encouraged to read the Bible and defend the truths she was taught to believe in. After embracing the teachings of Jesus from the Bible, her faith journey has profoundly changed her life and the facts she has come to recognize. This podcast is aimed at supporting divorced Christian women over 40 to navigate their paths with faith in God, grace, resilience, and a renewed sense of hope for the future.
Coming to learn and understand relationships, love, and marriage through Bible facts and the Word of God, Katie discovered how deeply intertwined its teachings were with the tools she had learned as a LifeCoach, and she is here to teach you how to understand that the power of the Bible's teachings are more relevant and applicable to your life today than ever. With Katie, you'll learn how to understand the concepts of the Bible and how to apply them into your life with the knowledge and training I've received as a Life Coach.In each episode, we'll explore the powerful intersection of Christianity and thought work, uncovering how our beliefs and the stories we tell ourselves shape our lives, and more importantly, relationships. You'll learn practical strategies for becoming more aware of your thoughts, how they connect to Biblical teachings of Christ, and ways to align them with the life and love you know God has in store for you.

E21: Future Focus (Part 2 - A Letter to My Past Self)

Welcome to Beyond Believing: Helping Christian Women Heal Post Divorce
Happy New Year! To start 2025 with this special two-part episode series called "Future Focus," Katie shares in part two an incredibly helpful exercise of writing a letter to our past selves. We often overlook how far we've come and how far we've gotten in this post-divorce healing process. As Christian women, we tend to feel more guilt and shame than other divorcees. Yet it's so important to look closely at all the things we've had to endure, and to understand, and to learn in this last year. Katie provides listeners with five very crucial things that she's learned in 2024. How many of them can you identify with? Write a letter to your past self, and share your key points with that woman. She deserves some recognition and encouragement for her faith and hard work.
Katie often shares her love of Nicky and Pippa Gumbel's "Bible in One Year" Bible study. There is no better time than now to start a new Bible study!

E20: Future Focus (Part 1 - A Letter to My Future Self)

Welcome to Beyond Believing: Helping Christian Women Heal Post Divorce
Happy New Year! To start 2025 with this special two-part episode series called "Future Focus," Katie shares a unique spiritual growth and life-coaching exercise with her listeners: writing a letter to your future self. One of the hardest things for a Christian divorced woman to deal with is the constant barrage of feelings of guilt, shame, and condemnation. Yet in Romans 8:1, Paul assures us that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus! Katie talks intimately about what it means to rely on the wisdom of God rather than the "knowledge" of men, and uses the account of Daniel to illustrate the dangers of looking horizontal rather than vertical. Writing a letter to your future self can help not only keep your eyes on God, but also to build your confidence in who you want to become.

E19: Watching Our Words

Welcome to Beyond Believing: Helping Christian Women Heal Post Divorce
In this episode, Katie showcases that just like it's impossible to capture the beauty of nature in a paragraph, it is just as impossible to see other humans as the likeness of God, made in His image, without abiding in Him and harnessing our tongue as we watch carefully the words we say. She points us to the Book of James, in a section of chapter 3 called "Taming the Tongue." Did you know James warns us about the tongue that both praises God and curses His created beings? The Christmas season can be tough for Christian women who are healing from the trauma of divorce, but this message helps to remind us all that God has a plan and purpose for us. What motivates Katie the most in watching her words and being mindful of the preciousness of God's creation is her own children's experience. She wants to be sure she teaches them by example Godly behavior in this post-divorce healing process.

E17: Mom Guilt

Welcome to Beyond Believing: Helping Christian Women Heal Post Divorce
In this episode, Katie addresses a hard topic for divorced Christian moms: the "mom guilt." There's nothing worse than seeing our kids suffer. As nurturing women who deeply care for our children, we want to solve ALL the problems, fix ALL the broken things. Yet that isn't always possible. Katie uses both Scripture and tools from her life coaching business to share how it's not only impossible to solve all the problems, but that our brains actually look for problems that we can never solve, making them the focus of our attention. And this, of course, comes from the enemy. Satan's greatest win is when he can pull you away from the power of God that can invite Christ into a very intimate relationship with us. That relationship with Christ will teach us to thrive versus simply surviving. At the end of the show, Katie provides 5 crucial things that Christian women post-divorce do to ensure they move forward thriving without all the mom guilt.

E16: Ugly Cries

Welcome to Beyond Believing: Helping Christian Women Heal Post Divorce
Today Katie takes her listeners on a tough journey of healing by sharing the importance of "ugly cries" in our relationship with Christ. With that, she dives into the topic of narcissism, and how being in a relationship with a truly clinical narcissist (also known as narcissistic personality disorder) can cause serious trauma and damage. But even though that damage can be long-lasting, it doesn't have to be permanent. Healing can take place with Christ. 
Katie makes reference to some resources regarding how to deal with narcissistic manipulation, gaslighting, stonewalling, and the concept of narcissistic supply. If you have ever had a relationship, whether marriage or otherwise with a narcissist, please know you're not alone. Here are some links to help provide you with some insight and coping skills to set you on a path of healing:

E14: Yoked With God

Welcome to Beyond Believing: Helping Christian Women Heal Post Divorce
Today Katie takes her listeners on a journey through the single life, the dating life, and the married life. What should we be focusing on and working toward when looking for a new partner, especially post-divorce? Katie dives into the deeper meaning behind the words of Proverbs 31, and also examines scripture regarding God's standards for men. There is a manual for the high bar we set when looking for a mate, and that manual was created by God. It's not a checklist, but rather the condition of one's heart. In her message, Katie refers to a reel her pastor shared on Facebook. Here's the link to that reel for you to view: https://www.facebook.com/reel/827591538820909

E13: The Lens of God

Welcome to Beyond Believing: Helping Christian Women Heal Post Divorce
In this episode, Katie provides her listeners with some profound insight into what it means to have the lens of God. So often we go through life expecting that people will see things from our point of view. Especially when we have disagreements or differences of opinions with another person, it's frustrating because our "worldly lens" leads us to insist that we are right, but the other person is wrong. Yet the other person believes firmly that THEY are right, and we are wrong. The truth is, both are right and both are wrong. Because we go through life with our own experiences, personalities, and beliefs which shape our perception and distort our views. Instead, if we can see other people through the lens of God, that they, too, were made in His image and that these frustrating or upsetting interactions are only temporary afflictions, we can learn to have peace and contentment. Katie uses the wise words of Paul, reading from 2 Corinthians 4:16-18.
