Does trusting the God of the Bible seem to get harder in the midst of your big emotions? Are you seeking ways to stay grounded in the Word, despite your current emotions?

Episode #98 – Trusting the God of the Bible Instead of Your Emotions: Meditating on Scripture Through Highs and Lows

Last week in episode #97, we kicked off a super real and encouraging chat with the wise and fun Jenny Zentz from the Intertwined Life podcast. If you missed it, you can catch it here. We talked about her story of showing up in the Word, even when the feelings weren’t there. She shared about learning to trust in the God of the Bible, rather than letting her big emotions take over. Today we’re discussing what it looks like to keep meditating on Scripture through the highs and lows.

In this episode, “Trusting the God of the Bible Instead of Your Emotions,” we discuss:

• Seeing God’s holiness and character unfold through Scripture, even in the “weird and messy” parts.
• Why truth must guide us when emotions fail
• The role Scripture plays in battling anxiety, depression, and exhaustion—and how note cards, mirrors, and even medicine cabinets can be sacred spaces
• Practical Tips for Meditating on Scripture all day long
• Why you should give yourself grace in the thick of motherhood
• Learning to hold both brokenness and the promise of abundant life at the same time

Notable quotes from this UnPerfect Podcast Episode:

• “Feelings are like dashboard lights. They’re important—but they shouldn’t drive the car.”
• “Christianity isn’t a religion. It’s a relationship—individual, unique, and deeply personal.”
• “You don’t have to compare your faith expression to anyone else’s. God gave you your personality for a reason.”
• “If you can remember every word to a Spice Girls song, you can memorize Scripture.”
