    Good Enough-FOR THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS

    In this solo episode of Yellow Soul, Juliette speaks straight to the hearts of sons and daughters who wonder if they’re really “enough” for this life and for God. Romans 8 shares with us, it's the spirit of religious duty, not love, that leads us back into the fear of never being good enough. If you’ve ever felt unseen, overlooked, or like you don’t quite measure up spiritually, this conversation is for you. I slow down and talk about what true intimacy with God looks like, why your worth is not tied to your performance, and how God already sees you as deeply loved, chosen, and special. You’ll be invited out of striving and comparison, and into a quieter, truer place of being known by God. In this episode, we explore: What intimacy with God actually is (beyond checking spiritual boxes) Why “good enough” is a lie that keeps you distant from God’s heart How God sees you as a beloved son or daughter right now, not someday Simple practices to grow closer to God in your everyday life How to bring your real thoughts, doubts, and emotions to God honestly The difference between religious pressure and relational closeness Scriptures to reflect on Psalm 139:1–4, 13–14 – You are fully known and wonderfully made 3 John 1:2 – God cares about the well-being of your soul Romans 8:14–16 – You are a child of God, led by His Spirit 1 Peter 5:7 – You can cast your cares on Him because He cares for you Ephesians 2:10 – You are God’s workmanship, created on purpose Take time after the episode to sit with one of these verses and ask God: “Show me how You see me. Show me how You delight in me as Your as your son or daughter.” Questions for reflection Where have you believed you’re “not enough” for God? What would change if you really trusted that you are fully seen and fully loved? What is one small way you can make space for God’s presence in your week? Connect & share If this episode speaks to you, share it with another son or daughter who needs to be reminded of their worth. And if you’re ready to keep growing in intimacy with God, make sure you subscribe to Yellow Soul so you don’t miss future episodes. Thank you for being here!

    In The Middle of Stuck

    What do you do when you’re standing in the middle of a war you didn’t choose and a wilderness you don’t understand? In this episode, we enter the honest space of discussing what do when you're feeling stuck and still choosing to stand by faith. Anchored in **Ezekiel 37:1–2**, we explore what it means to look at the “valley of dry bones” in our own lives and name how barren it feels, without pretending it’s fine or rushing to fix it. If you’re tired, confused, or in a very real war (inside or out) and wondering how to keep believing, this conversation is for you. Ezekiel 37:1–2 (NIV) “The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry.” We encourage you to journal or take some notes with us: 1. “the middle of stuck” - Describe what “the middle of your stuck” feels like: disoriented, exhausted, no clear map. - Normalize that even people of deep faith experience this. - Are you tempted to either numb out or over-spiritualize pain instead of being honest? 2. Walking through the valley with Ezekiel (Ezekiel 37:1–2) - God doesn’t rush Ezekiel past the valley; He sets him **in the middle** of it. - The bones are “very dry”: this can point us to a long-term disappointment, not a fresh wound. - How God sometimes invites us to **see clearly** what’s broken before He speaks life to it. - Reflection: “Where are the dry-bone places in your life right now?” 3. What it looks like to stand by faith in a war zone: - Faith is not denying reality; it’s choosing where you anchor your trust. - Practical ways to “stand” when you feel like collapsing: - Say one honest prayer: “God, I don’t see it, but I choose to stay with You here” - Do one small act of obedience or care today (call, rest, ask for help) - Write one truth you hold onto when your feelings shout the opposite - Describe the difference between faith as performance vs. faith as relationship. 4. Holding on without having it all together (Hebrews 10:23 TPT): - “Cling tightly to the hope that lives within us” when everything outside feels shaky. - The focus is not our grip, but the **faithfulness of the One** who promised. - How to let this verse meet you in the middle of anxiety, grief, or confusion. - Take a moment with God to imagine what it looks like to cling to hope just for **today**, not forever. Friend, remember today that dry bones are seen, known, and not the end of our story! “God, You see every valley, every battlefield, every place in us that feels like dry bones. We bring You the parts of our stories that feel lost, delayed, or too far gone. Teach us how to stand by faith when we don’t feel strong, and help us cling tightly to the hope that lives within us, because You always keep Your promises. Breathe Your Spirit into the dry places, and remind us today that this is not the end. In Jesus’ name, amen.” 1. After this episode, take a moment to name one ‘dry-bone’ area in your life. Write it down, and then write Hebrews 10:23: “So now we must cling tightly to the hope that lives within us, knowing that God always keeps his promises!” (TPT) under it. Let that be your quiet act of standing by faith in the middle of stuck. 2. If this resonated with your own valley or war, share this episode with someone else who feels lost right now. We are praying for you! 3. If you want more honest conversations about faith in the middle, not just at the finish line, make sure you’re subscribed to Yellow Soul so you're the first to know when new episodes are released!

    Active Hope & Deep Trust

    When life gets hard, “just stay positive” can feel more frustrating than helpful. In this episode of Yellow Soul, Juliette and Brit sit with the tension of the desire to trust God while also acknowledging the humanness of feeling tired, discouraged, or unsure of what’s actually being “worked together for good". What do you do when it’s hard to stay hopeful? Today we sit with Philippians 1:6 and talk honestly about active hope, deep trust, and what it means to believe God is still at work when you feel unfinished, behind, or worn out. This is an honest invitation to remember: the One who began a good work in you has not walked away, lost count, or changed His mind. He is for you and He loves you unconditionally and endlessly. If you’re in a season where hope feels fragile, this conversation is for you. Philippians 1:6 “Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion (put the finishing touches to your life) until the day of Christ Jesus.” The crisis of remaining hopeful The quiet, very human crisis: “I want to believe, but I’m tired.” How spiritual clichés can make discouragement feel like failure. Making space to be honest about disappointment, delay, and uncertainty. What Philippians 1:6 actually promises (and doesn’t) This verse is about God’s faithfulness to complete, not our ability to perform. “He who began” means: you are not a self‑started, self‑sustained project. It doesn’t promise a neat, quick timeline or a pain‑free story. God plays the long-game of wholenesss...He will never leave us or forsake us because He gave us Jesus. Active hope vs. passive waiting Passive waiting: checking out, numbing, or spiritually “drifting.” Active hope: small, grounded choices that say, “I believe You’re still at work.” Examples of active hope: showing up to prayer when you feel nothing taking the next right step with what you already know letting others see your struggle instead of hiding it Deep trust in the middle, not the finish line Most of life is lived in the “in‑between” of beginning and completion. Trusting God with unfinished places: relationships, healing, calling, identity. Learning to see progress differently: not “fixed” vs. “broken” but “being formed.” -At the end of this episode, we encourage you to take a moment to journal and write down one area of your life that feels unfinished or hard to hope for. Next to it, write Philippians 1:6. Let this be your quiet reminder this week that you are not carrying this story alone. -If this episode met you in a hard place, comment and share it with someone who needs to remember they’re still in process, not a lost cause. Your story is still being written! We're so glad you're here! Find us on Instagram: @juliettemarhoferdugger and @britalbinart

    Groundtable Part 4 "Is Community For Me?"

    Welcome to the New Season of Groundtable 2025! We are kicking off this year with a brand new series "Is Community For Me?" Enjoy this last episode in this series- Part 4 of the convo!! That's a wrap and it's a super powerful one! We hope you've gained some helpful tools and Biblical insight and vulnerable commentary, human to human, that's provided you with encouragement to seek community for yourself! Allowing ourselves to share, to love, and invite others in allows our capacity for generosity to expand! Building community takes time, effort, risk, trust, and intention... and it's worth it! God loves you, sees you, and desires the best outcome possible! Brit and I share moments in the episode of pivotal moments which transformed us as we chose community over remaining in lies that kept us trapped and isolated! These are short episodes to strengthen your resolve to not do life alone. The word "community" seems to compel us or repel us. We seem to either run to or away from it. Maybe we've never experienced healthy community or we've never experienced community period. Then, there's the last option. We've had an amazing experience and we will never stop seeking it for ourselves. Unfortunately the "amazing experience" seems few and far between for many. Brit and I talk about what it looks like and what it takes to create and cultivate authentic community and a heart posture towards inviting this into our lives. The truth is that it takes both of us to make it work. Community is preferring, loving, and trusting others while releasing unrealistic expectations of perfection to discover true connection. It's hard to know where to begin! We pray our weekly conversations inspire you to pursue healthy community for the rest of your life. We truly can do and build life together when we decide this is an invitation to do so!

    Groundtable Part 2 "Is Community For Me?"

    Welcome to the New Season of Groundtable 2025! We are kicking off this year with a brand new series "Is Community For Me?" Enjoy this episode- Part 2 of the convo!! Allowing ourselves to be known and loved by God and others creates space in our heart to be vulnerable with Him and our community. Knowing our emotions are God-given and they are indicators, but they are not dictators! God loves you, sees you, and desires the best outcome possible! Brit shares a heavy moment with us when her prayer to God became, "Lord, I know in the deepest sense it's going to be okay, but I need you to hold my heart. Will you just hold me?" These are short episodes to strengthen your resolve to not do life alone. The word "community" seems to compel us or repel us. We seem to either run to or away from it.
