Have you ever been hurt by the very people you trusted to help you grow in your faith?

Church hurt can leave deep wounds. It can affect our relationships, shake our trust in others, and even cause us to question God. But what does healing look like when the place that was supposed to bring you closer to God becomes a source of pain?

In this episode of the Full Life Podcast, Zach Imboden sits down with Elisha @soulfriendshipwithelisha to share her personal journey through church hurt. Together, they explore how painful church experiences affect our faith, how to process the emotions that come with spiritual wounds, and how God can meet us in the middle of our questions, grief, and disappointment.

In this honest and encouraging conversation, you'll discover:

• How to begin processing the pain of church hurt.

• What helps you heal when trust has been broken.

• How to recognize God's presence in the middle of painful seasons.

Are you longing to hear from God in a deeper way? In today’s episode of the Full Life Podcast, Zach Imboden guides you through a powerful and reflective practice called Lectio Divina—an ancient, soul-centering way of reading Scripture that helps you slow down, listen, and experience God’s personal presence.

We’ll meditate together on Luke 8:22-25, the story of Jesus healing a man with leprosy. With gentle prompts and moments of silence, Zach walks you through three rounds of reflection to help you tune into what God is saying through His Word—right in the middle of your everyday life.

Whether you’re feeling stuck spiritually, longing for clarity, or simply need a moment to breathe, this episode offers space to reconnect with God in a meaningful, peaceful way.

How to Say Yes to God When That Takes You Into the Unknown | With Denisha D. Workizer

What do you do when you sense God leading you somewhere—but you don't know where He's taking you?

Following God doesn't always come with a clear roadmap. Sometimes saying yes means stepping into uncertainty, taking a risk, walking through unexpected loss, or trusting God with a future you can't see.

In this episode of the Full Life Coaching Podcast, Zach Imboden sits down with Denisha D. Workizer to talk about what it looks like to say yes to God when that yes takes you into the unknown.

Denisha shares from her own journey of faith, including the loss of her husband, learning to trust God through seasons of uncertainty, and stepping out in faith to start a business. Together, Zach and Denisha explore how we discern God's direction, move forward when we're afraid, and learn to trust God one step at a time.

In this conversation, you'll discover:

• How to recognize when God may be inviting you into something new
• What to do when obedience requires stepping into uncertainty
• How faith can sustain us through grief and unexpected loss
• How to discern God's voice from our own desires and fears
• Why we don't need to know the entire plan to take the next step
• How God can use seasons of uncertainty to deepen our faith
• What it looks like to trust God when the future isn't clear

If you're standing at a crossroads, navigating a major transition, grieving a loss, or sensing God asking you to take a step of faith, this conversation will encourage you to remember that God doesn't reveal the entire journey—He simply asks for your next yes.

If you're struggling to discern what's next in your life, coaching or spiritual direction can provide a safe space to process what God may be doing and discern your next faithful step.
