34 | Foreign to Faithful: Living the Life God Created You For

In this deeply spiritual solo episode, Lisa shares what happens after a big life change—when you’re no longer who you were, but you’re not fully “home” in the new you yet. After moving to Hawaii, she realizes the unfamiliar feeling isn’t wrong… it’s holy. It’s the evidence that God is rebuilding her from the inside out. Through stories of routine, visitors, self-sacrifice patterns, and the moment her “truth” gets challenged, Lisa invites you to see discomfort as part of becoming. This is an episode about taking the filter off, stepping out of the cage, and learning to live aligned—not for everyone else’s comfort, but for the life God designed you to live.

What you’ll learn

Why real change can feel uncomfortable first, then foreign (and why that’s a good sign)

How new routines become a “new self” — spiritually, mentally, and physically aligned

The hidden pattern of self-abandonment and why it resurfaces when people enter your space

How to create win-win relationships without sacrificing yourself to be loved

Why “foreign” often means you’re finally living in your truth, not someone else’s expectations

How childhood “filters” and adaptations become a cage—and how God calls you out of it

Why your needs matter, your light matters, and you were never created to dim

Where in my life am I still abandoning myself to keep other people comfortable—and what would it look like to choose alignment with God and my own truth instead?

Quote to remember

“Just because it feels foreign doesn’t mean it’s wrong—sometimes it’s proof God is bringing you back to who you really are.”
