About
You can have a close relationship with God! Do you want a relationship with God that is deep, real, and intimate? Tired of feeling unworthy of God’s blessings because of your past? Do you wish you could fully trust God’s plans and process, rely on Him through all things, and believe all of His promises? Take a deep breath, I got you! You can grow your faith, deepen your prayer life, and hear God’s voice clearly so you can know with certainty that God is with you and everything will be okay. Hey there, I’m LaToya Edwards. I'm a Christian Spiritual growth, mindset, and life coach. And a proud single mom to 4 boys and an introverted former scaredy cat + recovering perfectionist. After walking through spiritual and emotional abuse, death, and betrayal I tried to do all the “right things” and fix my problems on my own. When that didn’t work, I was sure that God had forgotten all about me. I thought I was too messed up for Him to make things right. I couldn’t hear Him when I prayed and I didn’t know what to do anymore. In short, I gave up. But I didn’t stay in that place (and neither should you). One day I decided that I was going to fight for my life. I had to conquer my fear once and for all. I had to learn to truly trust God. I learned how to talk to God and hear His voice for myself. I got to know God, the real God. As I got to know Him, He showed me who I really was – who He created me to be. Loved, cherished, valued, and cared for. And then I was able to finally start living my life. Guess what, you can too! If that sounds like something you need, you’re in the right place. I can’t wait to help you connect with God through consistent prayer and time in scripture, get control of your emotions and your thoughts with truth journaling and enjoy your life with rest, fun, and hope for the future. Because let’s face it – sometimes life just sucks! But God is always there with you, fighting for you. It's time to be fearless. It's time to have a bold and courageous life! ??Let’s Connect ⭐Join the Community: https://latoyaedwards.net/community ⭐Website: https://latoyaedwards.net/ ?Free Resources: ?Consistent Quiet Time Planner - create a quiet time with God that you can actually stick to: https://latoyaedwards.net/planner ?Bold & Courageous Roadmap - a step-by-step plan for how to grow closer to God during hard times: https://latoyaedwards.net/roadmap ??Let’s Work Together: ☕If you’re ready for a closer relationship with God that will see you through the worst of times and the best.

Introducing Hope for the Weary Christian Woman

You can have a close personal relationship with God and experience stronger faith + peace +  rest + hope during hard times!Have you struggled with feelings of anxiety, panic, fear, and despair because life is just too hard? Are you tired of feeling like you’re desperately trying to claw your way out of a pit of hopelessness? Do you want a relationship with God that is deep, real, and intimate – something to give you the hope to keep trusting God? To know that you are not forgotten.Take a deep breath, I got you!This is a show for the Christian Woman who is struggling to trust God because life is so hard. Who feels like there’s no hope, no way out, and no point in even praying about it anymore. You’re weary from the struggle and trying to do all the right things. You just want something to go right in your life – or a least not get any worse.  I want you to know that as long as God is on the throne – it’s not time to throw in the towel! There is hope and rest for your weary heart, I want to help you find it.Hey there, I’m LaToya Edwards. I'm a Christian Spiritual growth, mindset, and life coach. An extremely highly sensitive introvert and empath. And a proud single mom to 4 boys! That last part has made growing closer to God a little interesting - more on that in future episodes. After walking through decades of hard times, including spiritual and emotional abuse, death, and betrayal I tried to do all the “right things” and fix my problems on my own. I thought if I could just do everything God wanted me to do things would get better. But when that didn’t work, I was sure that God had forgotten all about me. And if I heard one more Christian platitude like “God doesn’t give us more than we can handle” I was sure I’d lose my testimony!The truth is that God has not forgotten about me! I was just weary after all the hard stuff. I needed some rest and hope for better days to come. I needed to trust in God and heal from my past. But I didn’t know how. The more I tried to do it on my own, the more frustrated, angry, and hopeless I felt. I was tired of waiting on God. I was overwhelmed, burned out, and spiritually exhausted.Turns out that’s exactly where I needed to be to hear from God. During a season of forced rest, God did a healing work in my heart and my mindset. In my quiet time with God, I learned more about my identity in Christ and how I was created to connect with Him.

002 | 6 Steps to Bold & Courageous Faith: The Fearless Faith Roadmap

Have you ever wondered how to grow closer to God and strengthen your faith during hard times?In this episode, I want to introduce to you the Fearless Faith Roadmap. After looking back at the decade or so I realized that I've learned a lot about growing a strong faith during hard times, which you can hear a bit about in episode 1. I’ve summarized my journey into a system or framework.So today, I’m going to give you an overview of this roadmap and why I think it will help you as well. As you listen, I want you to keep in mind the life cycle of a butterfly: from egg to butterfly.Step 1: Egg This is when you become aware of your struggles, the fact that you are in over your head, and that you need to turn to God if you're going to make it throughStep 2: Caterpillar Spiritual growth is the focus of this step. Spending time with God in prayer, digging into scripture and other disciplines so that you can grow your faithStep 3: Pupa in Chrysalis  A chrysalis provides a safe place for a caterpillar to become a butterfly. Just like your time in the word and prayer provides a safe place for you to get to really know GodStep 4: Metamorphasis This is the hardest part of the roadmap. Where you have to dig deep and do the hard work of working through your hurts, pains and overwhelming thoughts and emotionsStep 5: Emerge from Cocoon When a butterfly finally emerges from the cocoon it doesn't fly away immediately. It takes a beat to rest. You need to do the same thing.Step 6: Butterfly Flies Away Even in hard times we can live with joy and peace. Don't forget to keep dreaming and enjoying life no matter what season you find yourself inIf you’ve been blessed by this podcast, would you consider showing your support by sharing it with your friends or someone who needs encouragement as well as taking a moment to rate and review it in your listening app!************************************************👋🏾Let’s Connect⭐Private FB Community: https://latoyaedwards.net/community 🎁Free Resources📍Consistent Quiet Time Planner: https://latoyaedwards.net/planner 📍Hope for the Weary Christian Woman Roadmap: https://latoyaedwards.net/roadmap 🤝🏾Let’s Work Together: ☕Course + Coaching: https://latoyaedwards.net/coaching
