Hi, I’m Sarah Wall– mom of two adult kids, a Jesus-loving wife, and a woman who knows what it feels like to have her faith shaken to the core. For years, the cares of life kept my faith on the back burner…until some wake-up calls jolted me out of my spiritual slumber! Between the end of my first marriage, the loss of close friendships, seasons of estrangement from my children, and a difficult career transition, I felt disillusioned and defeated.
These trials were bigger than anything I had faced before—and too heavy to carry alone. I questioned why God was allowing this to happen, worried instead of prayed, and felt heartbroken. I wanted to trust God, but I didn’t know how to pray through the pain. I tried fixing everything on my own…and then I cried and crashed and broke.
That’s when the Holy Spirit gently woke me up. I realized that I didn’t know how to pray effectively for myself —or for my adult children. As I quieted the noise and made space to listen, God began healing my heart from the inside out. I discovered I was in a spiritual battle–and God’s promises became the anchor my faith desperately needed.
Learning to trust God with my strained relationships wasn’t easy, but it transformed me. The Lord opened my eyes, and I traded my pajamas for spiritual armor. As it dawned on me that faith was the only way through my struggles, I learned how to pray, to trust God’s timing, and to rest in His peace—even when circumstances didn’t change. This new way of living ignited my spiritual growth and snoozed the noise so I could tune into God’s presence consistently. What I learned changed my life, and now I’m here to walk with you.
I can’t promise that God will restore every relationship. But I know this: You are not meant to live stuck in worry or heartbreak. As you pray for your prodigals and trust God with your estranged relationships, He will restore your hope, strengthen your faith, and bring peace to your heart.
This show delivers faith-filled teaching and practical takeaways to help you awaken your faith in Jesus, move from worry to trusting God, and from brokenness to healing. Wake up to the peace and wholeness you’ve been longing for. Jump out of bed, turn off your alarm clock, and make yourself a strong latte. It’s time to let the Son shine in your life!

Today’s encouraging episode offers comfort to every Christian woman who feels alone. Feeling unseen, forgotten, or lonely during the holidays is more common than many people realize. In this message, I talk honestly about how to trust in God when life feels disappointing, and how prayer and Scripture can steady your heart. You’ll learn how to recognize what you can change and what you must release to the Lord, and how serving others can bring surprising peace in God when your emotions feel heavy.
We’ll look at the biblical story of Hagar who was awakened to the “God who sees.” If you’re seeking encouragement, a Scripture-based perspective, and simple steps to hold onto your faith and to steady your heart, this episode will help you draw near to Jesus and experience God’s peace in very real, practical ways.

Do you ever struggle with thinking you don’t know how to pray? A lot of people feel inadequate when it comes to prayer, as if there is a secret formula to use every time they pray. There isn’t a secret formula, but Jesus modeled all kinds of different prayers for us. We can learn a lot about prayer by studying how He prayed and what He taught about it. In this episode, I share one of Jesus’ many powerful prayers, and help you understand how to apply this method to your own prayer life to find peace when life is difficult.

That’s why I want to remind you today of one truth every Christian woman needs to hear: You are deeply loved. I’ll share some practical ways you can anchor yourself in God’s love, even when you don’t feel like it!

If staying consistent is a challenge for you as a Christian woman, you are going to love today’s episode!
Are distractions taking over and preventing you from spending time in prayer?
Do you really want to pray and be more disciplined about it, but you keep getting pulled away by habits that waste your time?
You are not alone. I’ve found myself in the same exact pattern. I told myself I just had one more thing to do….and then I would pray; I needed to check social media one more time…..I got caught up in mindless scrolling through other people’s interesting posts….well, not all of them were really that interesting…. But before I knew it, another day was gone and I felt bad that I hadn’t made any time to pray.
We’ve all given into activities that swallowed our time and left us wondering how to get it back, and we’ve felt the pull of needing to spend more time in prayer.
Here’s the problem: Staying consistent with anything is challenging, and you’ve got to have a plan that works! That’s why we’re talking today about how to tune out distractions so you can find the time to pray. I’ll share a strategy to help you stay consistent in prayer, even when distractions try to take over.
