342 | is it anxiety or God's voice? understanding your nervous system, faith & intuition (w/ adelle banjac)

Have you ever wondered whether it's your intuition telling you something, or your anxiety trying to protect you? Have you questioned whether that feeling in your gut is genuine discernment, or simply an old survival pattern showing up again? In this conversation, I'm joined by Adelle Banjac for a beautiful discussion about the intersection of faith, psychology, nervous-system healing, and spiritual alignment. We explore how our childhood experiences, emotional conditioning, past trauma, and subconscious patterns can influence the way we interpret situations, navigate relationships, make decisions, and even experience our relationship with God. One of the most amazing parts of our conversation is talking aobut the difference between hypervigilance and discernment. Just because you're highly attuned to other people's emotions, changes in energy, or potential threats doesn't necessarily mean you're accurately interpreting what's happening. We also talk about why understanding your nervous system and emotional patterns doesn't have to compete with understanding God. In fact, becoming more aware of how you're wired can create opportunities to grow, heal, and live with greater intentionality. If you've ever felt caught between wanting to trust God, understanding your anxiety, and learning to trust yourself, this conversation is for you. In this episode, you'll learn: The difference between hypervigilance and spiritual discernment, and why they can sometimes feel surprisingly similar. How childhood experiences, emotional conditioning, and survival patterns can influence your decisions and relationships. Why anxiety doesn't automatically mean you're not trusting God. Three reflection questions to help you distinguish what's actually happening from what you're assuming or interpreting. Why awareness alone isn't enough to create transformation, and how practicing different responses can help you move toward greater alignment. How to deepen your relationship with God beyond traditional religious expectations and invite Him into your everyday life. You are allowed to grow, heal, ask questions, and become more intentional about the life you're living.
