What if the mess you’re noticing right now… is actually an invitation?In this episode of What the Heaven? Podcast, we’re talking about how the spring rain doesn’t just wash the earth—it reveals what’s been hiding underneath after a long winter. The dirt, the clutter, the buildup we didn’t even realize was there.And spiritually? It’s no different.Sometimes God allows a “spring rain” season in our lives—not to overwhelm us, but to lovingly expose what needs to be cleared out. Old habits. Lingering sin. Thought patterns that no longer align with who He’s calling us to be.This episode is your gentle (but honest) invitation to do a soul check:What has this past season left behind in you?What is God asking you to release, repent of, or renew?We’re diving into:– Why exposure is actually a form of God’s grace– How to identify spiritual clutter from past seasons– Letting go of habits and thoughts that don’t reflect Christ– Practical ways to partner with God in your “spring cleaning” seasonFriend, this isn’t about shame—it’s about transformation.Because the goal isn’t perfection… it’s becoming more like Jesus.So if you’ve been feeling stirred, convicted, or just aware that something needs to shift—this episode is for you.Let’s clean house together. 💛~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Have you ever done everything right… and still felt like your faith was barely holding on?Welcome to What the Heaven? — a Christian podcast for women navigating hard seasons, wrestling with doubt, and refusing to let go of God anyway.Every Friday, host Riley Shour brings you raw, honest conversations about the real struggles Christian women face — loneliness, church hurt, faith deconstruction, anxiety, identity in Christ, unanswered prayer, and the exhausting gap between believing and actually living it.This isn't a podcast about having perfect faith.

If you’re a Christian woman struggling with doubt, anxiety, spiritual burnout, or feeling distant from God, this episode will meet you right where you are.Through the story of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:38), we unpack a powerful truth: it won’t always be this hard… but God is still calling you to walk in obedience while it is.

What do you do when you know God led you somewhere… but the season still feels incredibly lonely?In this honest and vulnerable episode of the What the Heaven? Podcast, we talk about the side of life transitions that people rarely discuss — the deep loneliness that can come with change, moving somewhere new, and starting over.After moving to Vermont over a year ago, I expected that by now life would feel more settled. Community would be forming. Friendships would be growing. Things would feel… rooted.But the reality?It’s been far more isolating than I expected.In fact, after more than a year here, I only have three people’s phone numbers… and we don’t even text regularly.And while that might sound discouraging, this episode is a reminder that loneliness doesn’t mean God has forgotten you.Sometimes when God moves us into a new place or season, He begins by growing deeper roots before new relationships appear.In this episode, we talk about:• The hidden loneliness of moving to a new place • Faith during isolating seasons • Why life transitions can feel emotionally disorienting • Trusting God when community takes longer than expected • What the Bible says about loneliness • Finding hope when you feel disconnected or unseenWe also look at the encouraging truth from Psalm 68:6 — that God sets the lonely in families — and what that promise means for those walking through quiet or isolating seasons of life.If you’re navigating loneliness after a move, a life transition, a new job, or a new calling, this episode will remind you that your story isn’t finished yet.God is still writing the chapters where connection grows, friendships form, and the unfamiliar begins to feel like home.Until then, remember this truth:It won’t always be this lonely.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Welcome to the “What the Heaven?

Podcast, we talk about the physical side of spiritual growth — why major change can trigger anxiety symptoms, stress responses, and emotional overwhelm…even when you're walking in obedience to God.Your body isn’t rejecting your calling.Sometimes God is releasing old stress patterns, fears, and thought cycles so you can heal and become the person He is shaping you to be.And the good news?This season won’t last forever.Just like Jesus describes in John 15:2, pruning is temporary — and it always leads to growth.In this episode we talk about:• Why big life transitions can cause anxiety and physical symptoms• How your nervous system reacts when life changes quickly• Why healing often feels uncomfortable at first• The spiritual meaning of pruning seasons• How to stay rooted in Christ while your body adjustsIf you're navigating a season of stress, anxiety, health reactions, or emotional overwhelm while following God, this episode will remind you that your body is not broken — it's adjusting.Your pruning season won’t last forever.Your blooming season is coming.Keywords:Christian anxiety, faith during change, nervous system healing, Christian mental health, spiritual growth, anxiety and faith, healing with God, Christian encouragement, trusting God in difficult seasons.

Season 2 Episode 26 | Overwhelmed and Obedient: Following God When Change Feels Exhausting (Mark 4:35–41)What happens when you follow God… and the change still feels exhausting?In Episode 26 of What the Heaven?, I share a raw and unfiltered look at what obedience actually felt like this year — not polished, not triumphant, but overwhelmed.Exactly one year after leaving a toxic environment and moving halfway across the country with chronic health challenges, financial pressure, and two French bulldogs, I started working full time again. Instead of feeling victorious, I had a breakdown in my chiropractor’s office. I was so exhausted I almost drove our new car into a cement pole.This episode is about that kind of tired.The kind where your nervous system remembers survival.The kind where obedience doesn’t look glamorous.The kind where you whisper, “God, I obeyed You… so why is this so hard?”Using the story of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4:35–41, we talk about:• Why obedience to God does not guarantee ease• Following God through major life transitions• Leaving a toxic environment and rebuilding from scratch• Faith during burnout, overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion• Trusting God when your body feels like it’s still in a storm• The difference between being outside God’s will and simply being in a hard seasonYou can be overwhelmed and still obedient.You can be exhausted and still exactly where God called you.You can be in a storm — and still have Jesus in the boat.If you’re a Christian woman navigating change, burnout, or a season of rebuilding after something hard, this episode will remind you: the storm doesn’t cancel the calling. It might just be part of the journey.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Welcome to the “What the Heaven?

25 | Waiting on God’s Timing When Your Prayers Feel Delayed (Genesis 21:1–7)Have you ever felt like you heard from God clearly… but the change you prayed for still hasn’t happened?In this episode, we’re talking about waiting on God’s timing, trusting Him when your prayers feel delayed, and holding onto faith when life isn’t changing as quickly as you hoped. Through the story of Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 21:1–7, we explore what it looks like to believe God’s promises even after long seasons of waiting.I’m sharing our personal story of leaving Iowa after a painful job situation, praying for direction, sensing God leading us to Vermont, and then waiting nearly three years for the door to open. Even after the move, our first year was filled with health struggles, financial stress, car troubles, and emotional exhaustion — yet God was still working behind the scenes.If you’re:• Waiting on God to answer a prayer• Feeling stuck in a hard season• Wondering why God’s timing feels slow• Trusting God but struggling with discouragementThis episode will encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus, stay surrendered to God’s will, and remember that delayed change does not mean denied promises.God’s timing is never rushed — but it is always faithful.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Welcome to the “What the Heaven?
