Beauty Through Chaos

Three best friends with one shared faith and a whole lot of real life.This episode is a heartfelt, unscripted conversation between three women who love Jesus deeply—and are still learning to navigate the chaos of life, especially when we feel we haven't been loved well in a friendship. Together, we talk honestly about setting boundaries without guilt but without excuses, loving people who have hurt us, and choosing grace when relationships get complicated. With laughter and plenty of “we’re still figuring this out” moments, we walk through the beautiful messes of daily life side by side. This is a space for women who want faith that’s strong, friendships that are real, and hope that holds steady—even when life feels messy.

The heart, mind, and soul are often talked about as if they are three different things. Which they are, however, they are three CRITICAL components to every human body. We weren't created to only have a mind, but no heart and no soul and vice versa. So many times, mental health is focused on that only, the mind. What would change in mental health care if these three things were "treated" as a package deal? If we could somehow create a holistic approach to mental health while encompassing not just the mind, but also the heart and soul, would we see a change in efficacy?We know that God renews our mind and our soul [𝘙𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴 12:2, 𝘗𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘮 23:3].He gives us peace and strength [𝘑𝘰𝘩𝘯 14:27, 𝘐𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘢𝘩 41:10],and in Him, we can find rest [𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘸 11:28].He works all things together for us, and He is near to those who are struggling [𝘙𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴 8:28, 𝘗𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘴 34:18].Local Resources:Candeo Counseling Center4615 Chadwick Rd, Cedar Falls, IA 50613(319) 255-5660www.candeocounseling.comUnityPoint Health – Mental Health Walk-In Clinic212 West Dale Street Suite 100Waterloo, IA 50703319-226-2106Reflections Mental Health ServicesPhone: 319-260-2066 Fax: 319-575-6101reflections.cedarfalls@gmail.comJC Christian Counseling & Life Coaching, LLC2800 Orchard Dr Cedar Falls319.232.4673New Directions Counseling Services1310 Solar Dr. Waterloo319.232.2086Lutheran Services in Iowa3640 University Ave Waterloo319.233.3579
