  • When You're Not Ready to Act: The Wisdom of Waiting on God

    When You're Not Ready to Act: The Wisdom of Waiting on God
    Oct 19 2026
    Today's Scripture: Psalm 31:14–20 Have you ever been in a painful situation where others are urging you to take action, but something deep within you is telling you to wait? There's a difference between avoiding a hard decision and discerning that the time to act hasn't yet come. Psalm 31 offers a powerful picture of what it means to face difficult circumstances honestly while entrusting yourself to God's timing. In today's episode, we explore: How to discern the difference between passive avoidance and the spiritual wisdom of waiting on God What David's prayer, "My times are in your hands," teaches us about trusting God amid injustice, uncertainty, and suffering What it means to suffer wisely How to recognize when the time has come to speak up, advocate for yourself or someone you love, or take the next courageous step Go Deeper: For more on discerning when to fight for change, when to leave, and when to suffer wisely, explore I Shouldn't Feel This Way Connect with Dr. Alison on Instagram: @dralisoncook Join 80,000+ Soul Menders in Dr. Alison’s free email community for ongoing reflection and support.

  • When Your Mind Turns Against You: How to Resist the Lies

    When Your Mind Turns Against You: How to Resist the Lies
    Oct 16 2026
    Today's Scripture: James 4:7 (listener request) How do you know whether painful thoughts are coming from a wounded part of your soul or from spiritual opposition? When we're caught in cycles of rumination, self-criticism, or shame, discerning what's happening within us can be complicated. But we don't always have to identify the exact source of a thought to know how to respond to it. We explore: *How psychology and spiritual warfare intersect *Why painful feelings need compassion, but shaming thoughts need to be challenged *What James 4:7 teaches us about resisting lies *How to practice compassion and discernment in God's presenceGo deeper: ⁠Episode 197⁠: Am I Under Attack—or Just Overwhelmed?
