Wow. Think of it. After all, you have questions! You’ve been known to have a problem or two. It would be great if you could find the answers you’re looking for. You crack open that Bible a couple of times but just as quickly shut it. You want to love digging into Scripture. Instead, you find it intimidating, judgmental, and maybe even unbelievable. Let’s change that. Hi! I’m Anna Moore Bradfield, an award-winning and bestselling author, Christian speaker, and facilitator of workshops and events. I’ve been where you are. Plenty of times. I’ve questioned if God cared at all about what I was going through. Did he even have a plan for my life? When I got up the guts to tell him to his face, I found that he had very broad shoulders and that he could take anything I dished out. Then he began revealing himself to me. In this podcast, we’ll share: • Stories from the Bible that reveal God’s interactions with His people, confirming His desire for intimate, consistent, and loving relationships. • Stories from everyday life that testify to…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-21T14:21:47.747384+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/god-s-power-stories-finding-god-s-lead-how-god-shows-up-bible-and-everyday-life-stories-approaching-god-with-boldness-7102580"},"episode":{"title":"089 | How to Slay Your Giants: Why Avoidance Isn't Freedom and What to Do Instead","slug":"089-how-to-slay-your-giants-why-avoidance-isn-t-freedom-and-what-to-do-instead","published_at":"2026-04-28T05:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/god-s-power-stories-finding-god-s-lead-how-god-shows-up-bible-and-everyday-life-stories-approaching-god-with-boldness-7102580/089-how-to-slay-your-giants-why-avoidance-isn-t-freedom-and-what-to-do-instead","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/god-s-power-stories-finding-god-s-lead-how-god-shows-up-bible-and-everyday-life-stories-approaching-god-with-boldness-7102580","url":"https://godspowerstories.podbean.com/e/slay-your-giants-healing-from-bitterness-to-freedom/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/c8tqzd6rcg9nddni/089_Angi_Jeffcoat_Interviewb53sw-vs5wjn-Optimized.mp3","summary":"What if the things you've learned to live with… aren't just affecting you? What if the \"giants\" you've tolerated—fear, anxiety, bitterness, unforgiveness—are quietly shaping the lives of the people you love most? In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, pastor and author Angi Jeffcoat shares her personal journey of confronting the giants that had taken up residence in her life—and the freedom she found on the other side. \"We think we're okay,\" she says. \"But those giants are taking up space in our lives… and they're going to impact the people around us whether we want them to or not.\" From growing up in a home marked by verbal abuse and abandonment, to carrying hidden bitterness toward her father while preaching forgiveness from the pulpit, Angi reveals how easy it is to believe we've healed… when we haven't. \"I thought forgiveness was doing him a favor,\" she admits. \"But really, I was the one in bondage.\" Her story takes a sobering turn when she feels God ask her to reconcile—and delays. Just days later, her father unexpectedly passes away. \"I never got to reconcile on this side of heaven.\" What follows is a journey through grief, counseling, and the painful but freeing process of facing what was really in her heart. Through it, Angi uncovers not just bitterness—but anxiety, identity struggles, and patterns she didn't even realize had become her normal. \"I didn't know who I was without anxiety.\" This episode is both a warning and an invitation: • A warning that avoidance is not freedom• An invitation to identify the giants you've normalized• And a reminder that healing is available—but it requires honesty If you've ever said \"I'm fine\" while something still lingers beneath the surface…If you've struggled with forgiveness but justified holding on…If you've assu…","meta_description":"What if the things you've learned to live with… aren't just affecting you?
