S3 Ep 28What If That Isn’t Actually Your Limit? | Terry Tripp | Ep. 132
There’s usually something we quietly accept as the limit.A weakness.A struggle.Something that never seemed to come as naturally as it did for everyone else.So we adjust.We build our lives around it… and stop expecting much to change.Dr. Terry Tripp, also known as Doctor Blue Duck, grew up unable to communicate clearly.People often had to speak for him.But he didn’t stay there.He worked relentlessly to improve.To read better.To communicate clearly.And in that process, God met him.Today, his voice is the very thing he uses to teach and lead others.Because the thing he once believed was the limit was never meant to be permanent.This is one of those God stories that makes you stop and ask…What if the thing I’ve accepted isn’t actually the end of the story?And if someone just came to mind…don’t ignore that.Send this to them.Connect with Terry TrippClick HERE to learn more about Terry, his podcast, book, and resources.*************************************************************************🌿 Looking for a simple way to earn extra income from your phone while getting high-quality wellness products at member prices?Take a free tour of LiveGood to see how the membership works, how people are earning weekly commissions, and how you can get access to their supplement line.👉 www.livegoodtour.com/GodsGoodnessPodcast

S3 Ep 23127: God Shut the Door. Now What? — Ali Jacaruso
What do you do when life looks successful on the outside—but something inside still feels unsettled, tense, and hollow?This episode is for anyone who loves God yet quietly wonders why peace hasn’t followed obedience. Ali Jacaruso shares from a season when achievement, spiritual substitutes, and constant striving offered relief that felt convincing—but never lasted. What seemed like peace on the surface couldn’t reach the deeper unrest her body and soul were carrying.When God intervened, it wasn’t subtle. Everything she relied on began to fall silent, forcing a decision: keep accepting temporary calm, or trust God when He removes what once felt secure. What followed was not instant clarity, but a slow restoration of identity, safety, and trust—rooted in the kind of peace only God can give.As the conversation unfolds, you’ll recognize why striving can keep the body on edge, how counterfeit peace can mask deeper misalignment, and why God sometimes grows quiet before restoring true peace beneath the surface. This episode invites you to trust God when He’s rebuilding you from the inside out.If this met you where you are, consider sharing it with someone who may be walking through a similar season.Ali is offering a free gift for listeners who want to go deeper.

S3 Ep 20124: Taking a Step of Faith When You’re Scared | Erica Meads
What happens when you stop waiting to feel ready and choose to obey God anyway? This episode speaks to believers who love Jesus but hesitate when obedience feels uncomfortable, awkward, or costly. In this conversation with Erica Meads, you’ll hear what faith looks like when it’s lived out loud—praying for people, stepping toward those in need, and trusting God to move when you move first. Erica shares moments where broken fingers were healed through prayer, where people encountered Jesus and became believers, and where simple obedience became God expanding His Kingdom right here on earth.This isn’t a story about having all the answers. It’s about trusting God enough to act and watching His goodness show up through everyday faithfulness. If you’ve been wondering what obedience really looks like in real life, this episode will give you clarity, courage, and a next step.

S3 Ep 18122: Why You’re Still Struggling Spiritually (And How to Break Free) with Heather O’Brien
If God has already forgiven you, why do some fears, reactions, or inner battles keep coming back no matter how hard you pray?That question is where this conversation begins.As we stepped into a new year, there was a clear sense this was how God wanted us to begin. Not with striving. Not with performance. But with healing.In this episode of the God’s Goodness Podcast, we sit down with Heather O’Brien to talk about a truth many believers have never been taught. Deliverance is for everyone. And no matter how long you have been following Jesus, you never outgrow the need for it. Healing and freedom often unfold as a gentle, ongoing work of the Holy Spirit.Heather shares from lived experience how she functioned well on the outside while carrying anxiety, emotional numbness, and unresolved trauma. She walks through the biblical process God used to bring healing, including how to recognize what is not from Him, how to break agreement with it, and how to invite the Holy Spirit to restore what was affected.This conversation offers clear, scriptural steps toward freedom. If your heart is open to receiving these truths, this episode will bring clarity, direction, and renewed hope for what God is healing in you.This is one of those episodes meant to be listened to slowly, prayerfully, and honestly.Listen now.
