Trade a Lie for a Truth

heidileeanderson

Did God *really* say He’d use all things for His glory + your good? Doesn’t look that good to me...
Did He *really* say peace is possible? I wouldn’t hold your breath...
Did God *really* say He’d never leave you? Well then... where is He?
And did God *really* say He’d give you rest? Because (no offense) you look pretty tired + defeated to me...

Bottom line: Our enemy is out to kill our peace, destroy our faith, and steal our hope. How? By planting lies in our minds in hopes we take the bait.

Good news for us though: Jesus came to set us free, and ”if we abide in His Word, we’ll know the truth + the truth will set us free” (John 8:32).This is the show for you if you’re ready to pick up the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and stand firm in the truth, defusing every fiery dart and seizing that abundant life Jesus always gives.

Join host Heidi Lee Anderson, popular social media creator and author of P.S. It’s Gonna Be Good, episode by episode as we Trade a Lie for a Truth.

Is My Marriage Even Worth It Anymore? | with Steven Curtis Chapman + Mary Beth Chapman
Have you ever looked at your spouse and quietly wondered… is this even worth it anymore? Maybe somewhere between the disappointment, the distance, the conflict, or the exhaustion, you started questioning whether your marriage could really make it through. But what if the very struggles making you want to give up are actually the very places God wants to use to deepen, refine, and strengthen your relationship? Join me in Season 2's SEASON FINALE with Steven Curtis Chapman and Mary Beth Chapman for an honest conversation about marriage, hardship, grace, and staying the course. Celebrating 40 years together, they share the real story behind a marriage that has endured heartbreak, differences, and difficult seasons — and why, by God’s grace, they still believe it’s worth it. Gear up for a firehose of wisdom, vulnerability, and hope, and we'll be sure to walk away with the reminder that even the messiest seasons of marriage can become the beginning of something new. ________________________________________________________________ Connect with Steven Curtis Chapman: https://store.stevencurtischapman.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stevencurtischapman/ Their new book, Still Here: https://rstyle.me/+y0_eidPvOAll32fNqlZJEw Connect with Mary Beth Chapman: https://www.marybethchapman.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mbchap232/ Their new book, Still Here: https://rstyle.me/+y0_eidPvOAll32fNqlZJEw Connect with Heidi Lee Anderson: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson/ 100-Day Devotional, All In, All Yours: https://rstyle.me/+11Ii1owgccFkGPU0t1uz3w

I’ve Lost Who I Was Meant to Be... | with Jo Saxton
Have you ever looked at your life and thought… this isn’t who I thought I’d become? Maybe somewhere along the way, between the responsibilities, the heartbreak, the striving, and the survival mode, you lost sight of who you really are. You keep pushing forward, hoping that working harder, doing better, or holding everything together will finally make you feel whole again — but deep down, you know something still feels lost. What if the person you were created to be is still there… waiting to be reclaimed? In this episode, I’m joined by Jo Saxton for a powerful conversation about identity, purpose, and the lie that says, “I’ve lost who I was meant to be.” Jo shares wisdom, honesty, and practical encouragement for anyone longing to reconnect with who God created them to be and step boldly into the life they were made for. __________________________________________________________________ Connect with Jo Saxton: https://www.josaxton.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/josaxton Her book, The Dream of You: https://rstyle.me/+ydOfVhs9d1V9e-VCcjw9Bw Her book, Ready to Rise: https://rstyle.me/+7abwxdagntIxOKjk1BSp3g Connect with Heidi Lee Anderson: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson/ 100-Day Devotional, All In, All Yours: https://rstyle.me/+11Ii1owgccFkGPU0t1uz3w

I Can Just Ignore My Pain… Right? | with Willow Weston
Have you ever thought, ‘I can just brush this off… and I’ll be fine”? Let’s talk about this lie that maybe we’re living with—without even realizing it. It’s the quiet belief that ignoring our pain is somehow healthier than facing it. So we stay busy. We push through. We tell ourselves it’s in the past. It can look like strength, maybe resilience — but if we take a look at the root of it, we’d find it’s really just avoidance. So the question of the hour is… what if ignoring our pain isn’t protecting us… what if it’s actually backfiring and keeping us stuck? In this episode, I’m joined by Willow Weston for an honest conversation about emotional avoidance, unresolved pain, and what healing looks like when we finally stop running from what hurts. Trust me when I say this conversation is a TEAR-JERKER as we face into our pain and step into the healing God is offering this very moment. __________________________________________________________________ Connect with Willow Weston: https://www.willowweston.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/willowanneweston Her new book, Collide: https://rstyle.me/+OKowa-O3J-0AYp9ScA9O-w Connect with Heidi Lee Anderson: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson/ 100-Day Devotional, All In, All Yours: https://rstyle.me/+11Ii1owgccFkGPU0t1uz3w

The Lie: I Love Jesus… But I’m Not Holy | with Tasha Calvert
What if someone asked you point-blank: Are you holy? Would you hesitate? Laugh it off? Maybe cringe a little? You’re not alone—and that reaction reveals a deeper belief many of us carry without even realizing it. Somewhere along the way, many of us have come to believe that holiness is reserved for heaven—that here and now, “trying our best” is enough. But what if that’s not true? What if holiness isn’t just the goal… but a present reality for the believer? In today’s episode, we’re unpacking a powerful and often overlooked lie: holiness is something we strive for, but never actually live in. Join me as I interview Tasha Calvert, author of Set Apart for More. With years of Bible teaching and a passion for helping believers step into their identity, Tasha brings clarity, conviction, and encouragement as we explore what it really means to live set apart—right here, right now. If you’ve ever felt like holiness was out of reach, optional, or “for later,” this episode will challenge and invite you into something more. Let's get into it! _________________________________________________________________________ Connect with Tasha Calvert: https://tashacalvert.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tistashcalvert/ Her new Bible Study, Very Good: https://rstyle.me/+wai1e4NR58uyDLXWL1p-NA Connect with Heidi Lee Anderson: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson/ 100-Day Devotional, All In, All Yours: https://rstyle.me/+11Ii1owgccFkGPU0t1uz3w

Why Are Fewer Women Going to Church? The Lie They’re Believing| with Jen Oshman
New Barna research reveals a surprising shift: fewer women—and more men—are attending church. Why is that? And does any of it resonate with you? Somewhere along the way, many women have stepped back, unsure where they fit—in the church, in their lives, even in God’s story. In this episode, Jen Oshman—speaker, author, church planter’s wife, and director of women’s ministry at Redemption Parker—helps untangle that uncertainty and replace it with truth: you belong, your life matters, and your role is essential. Drawing from her ministry across three continents, Jen shares practical ways Scripture affirms women’s identity and worth, along with a glimpse into her new Lifeway Women study, Very Good, designed to help women move from confusion to clarity about who they are in Christ. Together, let’s step in—not back—and embrace our place with confidence. Because you were made very good, and you are right where you’re meant to be, on purpose. _________________________________________________________________________ Connect with Jen Oshman: https://www.jenoshman.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jenoshman/ Her new Bible Study, Very Good: https://rstyle.me/+wCAiaZ58j31s3P_q9yCrTw Connect with Heidi Lee Anderson: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson/ 100-Day Devotional, All In, All Yours: https://rstyle.me/+11Ii1owgccFkGPU0t1uz3w

What if "I'm not a morning person" is actually a lie? | with Jennifer Dukes Lee
Not a morning person? Think again. In this episode, bestselling author and speaker Jennifer Dukes Lee joins us to challenge the common lie that mornings are only for disciplined, early-rising people. Drawing from her study of over 200 mornings in the Bible, Jennifer reveals how God meets us in every sunrise—no matter when or how we wake up. We dive into morning rituals (not routines), uncover the concept of Morning Archetypes, and explore simple, practical ways to transform your mornings from panic to peace. Whether you’re a night owl, an early riser, or somewhere in between, this conversation will help you let go of the pressure to “get it right” and embrace the mercy that meets you right where you are. By the end, we'll see that mornings aren’t a performance—they’re a meeting place, and we are all morning people in God’s eyes.

From Trans to Transformed | with Kyla Gillespie
Do you know someone who feels at war with their own body? Someone who loves God but feels deeply confused about who they are? Or maybe it's you who wishes you were someone else—someone designed differently. In today’s episode, we’re trading the lie that peace comes from becoming someone else for the truth that real healing begins when we respond to God’s invitation to return to Him. Author and speaker ⁨@kylagillespie⁩ joins me to share her deeply personal story of wrestling with gender confusion, transitioning, and ultimately detransitioning as God called her back to Himself. You don't want to miss this conversation about identity, surrender, and the hope God offers when we feel lost or divided within ourselves.... not to mention Kyla's wisdom for parents, friends, and church leaders walking alongside someone navigating questions around gender and identity. If you or someone you love is wrestling with these questions, this conversation is filled with honesty, compassion, and the reminder that real peace isn’t found in becoming someone else—but in returning to the God who made you.

I Just Don’t Get the Bible | with Kelly Needham
Have you ever opened your Bible with the best intentions—only to feel confused a few minutes later? Maybe you’ve quietly wondered, I just don’t get the Bible. In this episode, we’re trading the lie that Scripture is too complicated for the truth that you can study the Bible with confidence and joy—and discover the living God who speaks through its pages. Author, speaker, and podcast host Kelly Needham joins me to talk about why so many believers feel intimidated by the Bible and how that narrative can change. Kelly shares practical tools to help you approach Scripture with curiosity and confidence, move beyond simply checking a spiritual box, and begin encountering God through His Word. If you’ve ever felt behind, unsure where to start, or discouraged in your Bible reading, this conversation is for you. Because the Bible isn’t a test you pass or fail—it’s an invitation to know God.

Waiting for the Light at the End of the Tunnel | with Chad Roberts
Ever found yourself thinking, “I’ll be okay once this is over”? Once the grief lifts, the diagnosis changes, the prayer's finally answered... you know, once you see the light at the end of the tunnel? But what if the tunnel feels long… or endless? In this episode, we’re trading the lie “I’ll see the light when I get to the end of the tunnel” for the truth that you can see the Light God even in the darkness. Pastor and author Chad Roberts joins me to share his powerful story of unexpectedly losing his eyesight and discovering what it really means to trust God when life literally and figuratively goes dark. If you’re in a season where prayers feel unanswered or the future feels uncertain, this conversation is for you. Let's find together how God doesn’t wait for the darkness to lift before He meets us there. Because even in the dark, you can still see God.

The Lie That Faith Gets Easier (and Mature Christians Don’t Struggle) | with Kristen LaValley
Ever found yourself thinking, ‘I’ve followed Jesus for years—why does this still feel hard?’ If that question has crossed your mind, you’re not alone. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Kristen LaValley, author of Growing Up Saved, who shares how saying the sinner’s prayer at a young age eventually led to deeper questions, seasons where faith felt heavy, and the guilt grew stronger. Yet Kristen gently reminds us we can bring our real questions to a God who isn’t intimidated by them, but holds all the answers. As we do, we'll find how He uses it to deepen our roots in Him even further. Together, let's learn how to shift from something to prove to something simply received, how to sit with questions without fearing them, and what it looks like to keep trusting God when you don’t have all the answers. God isn’t asking you to have it all figured out—just to keep walking with Him, one honest, faithful step at a time.

The Lie: Peace Comes When Life Finally Calms Down | with Tara Dew
What if the reason you haven’t found peace yet isn’t because your life is too loud… but because you’ve been waiting for it to finally quiet down? So many of us believe the subtle lie: Peace will come when this season settles. When the diagnosis clears. When the relationship stabilizes. When the calendar empties. When the anxiety makes sense. But Psalm 23 tells a very different story. In this powerful conversation, Bible teacher and author Tara Dew joins us to unpack the truth that peace isn’t the reward at the end of a calmer life — it’s the gift found in close proximity to the Shepherd. Her new book, Overflowing Peace, walks verse-by-verse through Psalm 23, inviting us to slow down and rediscover a familiar passage with fresh eyes. Together, let's hear how biblical peace exists: In valleys In the presence of enemies In the middle of unresolved chaos Connect with Tara Dew: Her newest release, Overflowing Peace: https://rstyle.me/+R_L4SZUZ7SedEPN-NRrkDQ Her ministry, Prepare Her: www.prepareher.com Connect with Heidi: FollowTrade a Lie for a Truth on instagram.com/tradealieforatruth Grab Heidi’s 100-day devotional through Joshua: All In, All Yours: https://rstyle.me/+11Ii1owgccFkGPU0t1uz3w Passion Week Family Devotional: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/travelpassionweek Follow Heidi on Instagram: instagram.com/heidileeanderson

The Lie Our Kids Feel About Fear (and How Parents Can Tell a Better Story) with Courtney Reissig
Ever wondered how to talk to kids about scary things—storms, sickness, or other frightening moments—and they wonder if God is mad at them? Or maybe you’ve struggled with that yourself as an adult. It’s easy to carry this lie that when bad things happen, God must be angry, punishing, or absent. But the truth of the matter is God is present in the storms, big or small. He never stops loving His children, even when life feels out of control, and He works through hard moments to show His promises and hope. Join me as I break this down with Courtney Reissig, a Bible teacher, author, and mom of four, who opens up about the storm that scared her kids, and together, let's learn how we as families can talk about fear, trust, and God’s love in a way that’s relatable, practical, and full of hope.

How to Unlock God’s Promises? Not Your Effort with Jen Wilkin
Ever wonder if God’s promises rise and fall with how well you perform? If God’s favor must be maintained—or if His faithfulness might waver when you fall short? When that assumption creeps in, the book of Joshua confronts it head-on. In this conversation with Jen Wilkin—Bible teacher, best-selling author, and a trusted guide helping believers grow in biblical literacy—we open Scripture together to see how God ensures the fulfillment of every promise He makes. Not because of our consistency, effort, or worthiness, but because of His unwavering faithfulness. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: • The lie that God’s promises depend on your performance—and the truth that sets you free • Lessons on inheritance, family, and blessing in God’s timing • Fun rapid-fire questions at the end so you can get to know Jen personally Key Takeaway: God’s promises don’t rest on your effort—they rest on His faithfulness. Joshua reminds us that God goes before His people, stays with us in the unknown, and finishes what He starts. Obedience isn’t how we earn God’s presence—it’s how we respond to it faithfully.

"Life Will Never Be Good Again..." or God's Not Finished with Brittany Price Brooker
Have you ever wondered… what if my best days are already behind me? After loss, sickness, or life just takes a turn you never would have chosen. This lie shows up when prayers feel unanswered, when grief lingers longer than expected, and when the future looks nothing like the one you dreamed of. But it's time to confront the lie, “life will never be good again," and trade it for the truth that His goodness is still following you. Join me as I sit down with the girl who has been there, Brittany Price Brooker, yet her story is a living testimony that God’s goodness is not cancelled by tragedy — and that redemption can grow in places we thought were only ashes. You'll walk away knowing He is still writing your story. And He is not finished yet. _________________________________________________________ Connect with Brittany Price Brooker: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/brittanypricebrooker/ Website - https://www.brittanypricebrooker.com/ Connect with Heidi Lee Anderson: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson/ Website - www.heidileeandersonministries.com Her newest devotional, All In, All Yours - https://rstyle.me/+11Ii1owgccFkGPU0t1uz3w

Motherhood Isn't Your Highest Calling (with Vicki Courtney)
How many times have you asked yourself: Did I do enough today? Why can’t I keep up like she does? I should’ve had more patience. More connection. More prayer. You love your kids fiercely, but sometimes you’re running on fumes—and wondering if you’re doing much of it right or just messing up your kids. And then someone says, “Motherhood is your highest calling,” and it just adds to the doubt. But what if that belief that “motherhood is your highest calling,” although sounds right and good… is actually a lie that’s crushing you? What if that isn’t the whole story? What if your worth—and your identity—isn’t wrapped up in who you are as a parent, but in who God says you are? Ultimately, what if there is a higher calling? Join me in this conversation as I interview Vicki Courtney, a mom, grandmother, and author of Motherhood Isn't Your Highest Calling, who is helping women everywhere release the pressure of Christian motherhood and embrace a greater truth: You are more than your role as a mom. 🔗 Connect more with Vicki Courtney: https://vickicourtney.com/about/ Check out her newest release, Motherhood Is Not Your Highest Calling: https://rstyle.me/+apwMMBICVFpf8Z3wBZ7y7A 🔗 Connect with Heidi Lee Anderson: Instagram: www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson Countdown to Christmas Advent devotional: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/christmas-devotionals Case of the Unknown Messiah Advent devotional: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/advent-2 Heidi’s newest book, All In, All Yours: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/allinallyours Further resources: https://heidileeandersonministries.com

Israel, AI, Wars… Is this the End Times? (with Pastor Jason Carlson)
Every generation has wondered about the end times—but with constant headlines, global instability, wars, and the rise of AI, it feels more real than ever. Underneath the question “Is this it?” lies a deeper fear many believers quietly carry: The end times are something to fear. In this episode, I sit down with apologist and Pastor Jason Carlson to unpack your biggest questions about Israel, prophecy, global conflict, technology, and how believers can live ready—not scared.
