In this episode, I talk about something that hits close to home — the anxiety that comes from holding onto things we were never meant to hold. Maybe it’s beauty, maybe it’s success, maybe it’s your background or even where you come from. I know this has been true for me. I share a personal story about discovering my ancestry — Belgian, Bulgarian, and even Roma, Gypsy roots — and how God used that moment to show me something deeper about identity. It made me ask: Am I still clinging to somet...

In this special replay, I’m bringing back one of the most listened-to episodes of Curious for Christ: my conversation with author and evangelist Gordon Ferguson on struggling to trust God and discovering deeper insights from the Bible. I didn’t want to create something new just for the sake of it. Instead, I felt led to return to this powerful message—because trusting God and living fully in our identity as His daughters is something I’m still learning to embody in deeper ways today. In t...

Alexandra offers three practical, faith-based steps to stay grounded and present with God, even in difficult conve...

The unexpected transition into widowhood isn’t a choice anyone makes. Dr. Woodbridge re...
Patience is more than waiting—it is a discipline of the heart. It allows us to govern our emotions, trust God’s timing, and respond with wisdom instead of rushing in fear or doubt. Practicing patience strengthens our relationships, nurtures our spiritual growth, and helps us live faithfully and peacefully in every area of life. True strength is not in conquering others or achieving instant results but in mastering our own spirit (Proverbs 16:32). In this episode, we explore: What patience r...
