Hey friend — if you came looking for a new Freed to Lead episode today, you didn't miss it. It's just not here, and that's by design.
I wanted to take a minute to share what's happening and why things might be a little quieter around here for a bit.
Last week, the Lord asked me to do something I honestly didn't see coming, to step back, to pause, and to rest in Him for a season. I'll be honest with you, I wrestled with my yes. But this time, God made it clear that He wanted my stillness more than my striving.
So, while the Freed to Lead podcast takes a short break, I'm not disappearing. I'm still coaching and walking with my clients, and you can always book a session at kathrynmay.com/coaching if you feel like God's nudging you to go deeper in your own season of healing or growth.
In the meantime, I'd love for you to binge some past episodes, there are 86 of them packed with wisdom, encouragement, and truth to help you keep walking strong in your calling.
What do you do when your heart feels dry, when you want to hear from God but can't seem to connect?
Tracy Hill, host of Be Blessed & Inspired Podcast, is teaching us about what it really means to get in the Word, not out of obligation, but out of relationship.
We're going deep on why getting in the Word is the key to hearing God clearly, how to build consistency in your quiet time when you feel spiritually dry, renewing your mind with truth and releasing spiritual striving, how the enemy uses distraction to pull you away from intimacy, and simple ways to make Scripture come alive again in your daily rhythm.
If your Bible has been collecting dust or your quiet time feels more like a chore than connection, this episode will encourage you to come back to the Word with fresh eyes and an open heart.
Have you ever sensed God calling you to something, to write the book, start the podcast, launch the ministry, or create what He's placed on your heart, but fear, doubt, or confusion about how keeps holding you back?
In this episode, I sit down with Jenilee Samuel, host of the Java with Jen podcast, to talk about how to hear and discern God's voice, overcome fear, and step boldly into your calling with confidence.
Together, we dive into how to recognize and trust God's voice in your everyday life, what it means to say yes to God's calling when the timing feels uncertain, how to overcome fear, perfectionism, and the pressure to have it all figured out, and practical ways to balance family, business, and ministry without burnout.
Identity theft isn't just financial, it's spiritual. Many of us are trying to fix what's visible, our habits, emotions, or relationships, while the real issue lies deeper in what we believe.
This is your invite to slow down the striving and start doing the root work of freedom. You'll learn how to uncover the lies that keep you stuck and replace them with truth that brings peace, confidence, and lasting transformation.
You were never meant to simply manage your behavior, you were created to let God transform your heart. When you invite Him to heal what's hidden, peace replaces pressure and truth takes root. That's the beginning of real freedom.
Lies are sneaky, they sound logical, familiar, even true. One day they're just thoughts passing through your mind, and before you realize it, they've become the filter through which you see yourself, your calling, and even your relationship with God.
In this episode we're getting real about how to identify the lies you've been believing, why they keep you stuck, and how to replace them with the life-giving truth of God's Word. It's not about trying harder or repeating empty affirmations, it's about renewing your mind, letting truth take root, and walking in lasting freedom.
Behavior modification can't heal the soul, it's root work that sets you free. When you identify the belief system driving your actions, you can finally let God heal the root instead of trimming branches that keep growing back.
Discover why constant rushing is draining your soul and how to walk at the peaceful pace of Jesus.
Hurry doesn't just fill your calendar, it drains your soul. If you've ever found yourself exhausted but still striving, wondering why you can't slow down no matter how hard you try, this episode is for you.
I'm uncovering three reasons why a hurried mindset is actually slowing you down, stealing your joy, diminishing your ability to lead well, and crushing your confidence in Christ. We'll explore how rushing leaves you anxious and reactive, why it chokes out prayer and intimacy with God, and how Jesus modeled a completely different way of living, never hurried, always present, steady in purpose.
