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

Beyond Believing: Helping Christian Women Heal Post Divorce

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.

• 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!

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.
