• What does the Bible Says About Grief? For Women Navigating Loss, Change, and Uncertainty | 37 20.05.2026 26min

  Have you been pushing through pain that God is asking you to process? Is there a loss, disappointment, or transition you never fully grieved? Do you feel anxious about the future because you’re still carrying pain from the past? Have you mistaken grief for weakness instead of seeing it as part of healing? What if your tears are the very thing God wants to use to bring blessing? In this deeply personal episode, Sarah shares how the Lord led her into what she calls a “holy time-out.” After stepping away from social media, quitting her job, and navigating significant personal loss, God began uncovering grief she had been carrying for years. What started as a simple prompt from the Holy Spirit to “write down all the pain you’ve been carrying in your heart” became the beginning of a profound healing journey. Through The Book of Psalms, Sarah discovered the beautiful picture of the Valley of Baca, also known as the Valley of Tears. Scripture promises that those who walk through this valley can make it a place of springs, where God turns sorrow into blessing. Sarah also shares three life-changing insights from Back Porch Theology that reframed her understanding of grief and healing. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why grief often sneaks up on us when we think we’re “fine” How God may intentionally assign seasons of grief What the Valley of Baca reveals about sorrow and healing Why grieving is not weakness, but evidence that something mattered How unprocessed grief can fuel fear about the future Connect with Sarah Follow Sarah for biblical encouragement, faith-filled mentorship, and behind-the-scenes content from the podcast.

• Depression or Divine Interruption? What Christian Women Need to Know When God Hits Pause | 36 12.05.2026 27min

  Have grief, depression, or burnout left you feeling confused about what God is doing? Do you tend to push harder when things stop making sense, or do you freeze and feel stuck? What if God’s interruption is not a setback, but an invitation to heal? In this deeply personal episode, Sarah shares what happened during her two-month break from the podcast and how an unexpected depression diagnosis became the catalyst for a powerful season of healing and surrender. Using the analogy of a GPS rerouting mid-drive, Sarah unpacks what it feels like when God changes the plan and you’re left wondering, “But I thought this was the way.” When life suddenly shifts, many of us respond in one of two ways: we either push harder in the wrong direction, trying to force the original plan, or we freeze and stop moving altogether. Both responses are often rooted in fear, control, and the quiet belief that God’s reroute must mean we did something wrong. Sarah shares how grief from her mother’s passing, years of accumulated stress, ministry fatigue, and an unexpected season of depression led God to interrupt her striving and call her into a season of rest. In this episode, you’ll learn: What depression looked like in Sarah’s life, even when she was still functioning How unresolved grief and chronic stress can impact your mind, body, and spirit Why God sometimes asks us to pause good things to make room for healing Biblical examples of divine interruption, rest, and redirection How striving and productivity can become subtle identity traps Three lessons God taught Sarah during this season of surrender and restoration If you are navigating change, grief, burnout, anxiety, or uncertainty, this episode will remind you that God’s reroutes are not signs of failure. They are invitations to trust Him more deeply and discover that your worth has never depended on your output.

• Why Change Feels So Scary And What It Reveals About Your Identity in Christ 22.01.2026 13min

  Have you ever walked through a major life change and suddenly felt unsure of who you are? When a role, routine, or season shifts, does your sense of security feel shaken too? Have you noticed how much peace you attach to sameness, predictability, or being needed? What happens internally when the things you’ve built your life around are taken away? This episode is for anyone navigating transition, identity shifts, anxiety around change, or confusion about calling and purpose. In this episode, we explore how major life shifts often reveal where our identity and security have been quietly rooted. I share how, over time, my identity slowly moved from who I am in Christ to what I was doing. Not intentionally. Not rebelliously. Gradually. And when those roles and rhythms were disrupted, I felt lost and unsettled. We talk about the difference between identity and function. How we often confuse calling with worth. And why change feels so threatening when our security is built on sameness instead of on Christ. This conversation centers on Galatians 2:19–21 as the foundational scripture for identity in Christ. A reminder that our old ways of defining ourselves have been crucified with Christ, and that our life now flows from Him, not from performance, productivity, or people-pleasing.   Contact → hello@sarahcoppiano.comConnect → Join our free Facebook grouphttps://www.facebook.com/share/g/17npCJcUYY/Instagram → @sarah.coppianoResources → www.sarahcoppiano.com
• Disappointment Isn’t the Problem. What You Do With It Is (A Biblical Path to Healing) | 34 14.01.2026 17min

  Ever worked hard for something you loved, only to feel overlooked or undervalued? Have you ever had the rug pulled out from under you right when you thought things were finally moving forward? Do you struggle with disappointment that quietly turns into bitterness or self-doubt? Are you ignoring a disappointment because it hurts too much to face? Do you replay a situation over and over, assigning meaning and intent that may not be true? In this episode, I’m unpacking the pain of disappointment and the two unhealthy extremes we often fall into when life doesn’t go the way we hoped. Ignoring it or amplifying it. I share a personal story of workplace disappointment and how unprocessed hurt slowly turned into resentment, insecurity, and distorted self-beliefs. We’ll talk honestly about how disappointment shows up in our jobs, relationships, church spaces, leadership dynamics, and seasons where expectations go unmet. You’ll learn why ignoring disappointment doesn’t make it go away. It only buries it. And why amplifying disappointment can feel justified but often keeps us stuck, assigning false narratives and blocking reconciliation. We’ll also name the role pride plays in both responses and how it quietly hardens our hearts. Most importantly, I walk through the biblical practice of acknowledgement. How to name the pain without becoming bitter. How to pursue reconciliation when it’s needed. And how to release disappointment to God when healing doesn’t come the way we hoped. This episode is for anyone carrying unresolved disappointment and longing for emotional healing, restored peace, and renewed trust in God.   Contact → hello@sarahcoppiano.comPodcast → https://bit.ly/TrustGodBeConfidentConnect → Join our free Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/share/g/17npCJcUYY/Instagram → @sarah.coppianoResources → www.sarahcoppiano.com   Next Steps: Step 1: Join a supportive community of women learning to trust God in transition inside the free Facebook group Step 2: Sign up for the weekly newsletter for encouragement, biblical truth, and practical faith tools at https://bit.ly/tgbc-insider Step 3: Get more personalized support through faith-based coaching resources coming soon

  Ever say, “I trust God” but realize real life is testing that statement? Feel stuck between knowing what the Bible says and struggling to believe it applies to your situation? Trying to let go of control but afraid everything will fall apart if you do?   In this episode, I’m sharing why trusting God can feel so difficult in seasons of transition, anxiety, and uncertainty, especially when you’re trying to let go of control but don’t feel safe doing so. If you’ve ever wrestled with trusting God in hard times, struggled to hear God’s voice, or felt overwhelmed by fear, waiting, or emotional exhaustion, this conversation is for you. We explore how life with the Lord is one long trust fall, walking through obstacles that stretch your faith and require surrender again and again. Using three powerful names of God from Scripture. Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Nissi, and Abba Father, we unpack God’s character as faithful provider, victorious protector, and loving Father. These truths help anchor your faith, calm anxiety, and build spiritual confidence when peace feels far away and clarity feels out of reach.

  What if you’re ending the year without clarity. Still waiting. Still in transition. Still carrying unanswered prayers into the new year. In this episode, I talk honestly about what it means to live in the middle. That in between season where life feels unresolved and faith feels quieter, yet God is still present and faithful. This conversation is for Christian women navigating transition, waiting on God, motherhood, and seasons that feel unfinished. I share how the song The Middle by Jimmy Eat World became a personal anthem during a season of transition and why the concept of “the middle” still matters today. 🎵 Song referenced:👉 The Middle by Jimmy Eat Worldhttps://open.spotify.com/track/6GG73Jik4jUlQCkKg9JuGO?si=4406562a4a4d425a We explore the cultural pressure to end the year with answers and why clarity is not required for faithfulness.

• On the Edge of a Crash Out? What the Bible Says About Anxiety, Overwhelm, and Emotional Health 02.12.2025 18min

  This episode is for the woman who feels she is one inconvenience away from spiraling. A few months ago I had a real crash out of my own. It started with car trouble but the truth is, the pressure had been building since my son was born in January 2024. We walked through postpartum anxiety, developmental delays, a hospital stay for failure to thrive, feeding struggles, seizures, and financial strain. By the time another unexpected repair bill hit, I broke. My faith wobbled. My hope felt thin. Then recently, the week before Thanksgiving, I got the call that my mom passed away after a long battle with addiction. While sitting in that grief, our family van broke down with all my kids inside. It should have been another crash out moment. But instead, I heard this: Do not be dismayed. That took me straight to Isaiah 41.10. the verse God uses to pull you back from fear, overwhelm, and that shattered feeling you can’t put language to. In this episode we talk about: • What “dismayed” really means and why it hits so deep• How God starts with presence before promise• Learning to receive His strength instead of trying to muster your own• Elijah’s crash out in 1 Kings 19 and why his burnout mirrors ours• How God upholds you when life feels impossible If you’re carrying fear, anxiety, grief, or spiritual exhaustion, this episode will remind you that God has not left you.

• 23 | It’s Time to Let the Old You Die: Receive Freedom in Christ and Live Authentically You (The New You) 28.10.2025 15min

  You know those habits you really want to break — the patterns that seem stuck on repeat, even though you love Jesus and want to change? In today’s episode, we’re diving into Ephesians 4:17–32, where Paul gives us a powerful roadmap for living a transformed life in Christ. This isn’t about behavior modification — it’s about renewing your mind, putting off the old self, and putting on the new one that’s created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. I’m sharing a funny middle school story (involving a not-so-great word choice 😅) and how it taught me that being a new creation isn’t just about what we don’t do — it’s about what we do put on. In This Episode: 💭 1. Renewing Your Thinking (Ephesians 4:17–19)Paul reminds us not to live — or think — like the world. Transformation begins in the mind. We’ll unpack how your thoughts shape your actions and how to develop a renewed mindset grounded in truth. 🧠 2. Putting Off the Old Self (Ephesians 4:20–24)Through Christ, you’ve been empowered to lay down your old patterns and step into a new way of living. Renewal is a daily process — and the Holy Spirit gives you the ability to walk in true righteousness and holiness. ✨ 3. Getting Specific: What to Put Off and What to Put On (Ephesians 4:25–32)Paul lists what needs to go — and what should replace it: Put off falsehood → speak truth Put off anger → forgive quickly Put off stealing → work and give Put off unwholesome talk → build others up Put off bitterness and malice → choose kindness and compassion Living this way protects unity, honors God, and keeps your heart sensitive to the Holy Spirit. 💜 4. Living a Transformed LifeGod’s goal isn’t better behavior — it’s a renewed heart. Holiness isn’t striving; it’s living out who you already are in Christ. Every day, you get to choose what to put off and what to put on. Reflection Questions What “old self” habit or mindset is God asking you to put off this week? What does “putting on the new self” look like for you — in your words, work, or relationships? How can you invite the Holy Spirit to renew your mind daily?

• 21 | God Never Asked You to Be Their Savior: Escaping the Trap of Codependency with Christian Therapist Rachel Goff 14.10.2025 30min

  Are you always the “fixer” or the “helper” — the one who can’t rest until everyone around you is okay? This week on Trust God, Be Confident, we’re diving into a topic so many of us wrestle with but rarely name: codependency. Host Sarah Coppiano and guest Rachel Goff unpack what codependency really is (and what it’s not), how it shows up in our relationships, and what healing through a biblical lens looks like. Rachel shares her personal testimony of recognizing unhealthy patterns, breaking free from people-pleasing, and finding peace in God’s approval — not others’. Together, we explore:✨ A simple, clear definition of codependency✨ What codependency can look like in friendships, dating, and family life✨ Rachel’s story of finding freedom and healing in Christ✨ How Scripture calls us to healthy love and boundaries✨ Why true love doesn’t mean control — it means trust You’ll walk away encouraged to love others from a place of wholeness, not fear, and reminded that your worth doesn’t depend on who you can save — because Jesus already did that.
