    <description><![CDATA[<p><b>🔥Are you in a hard season of life and really feeling the fire?</b></p>
<p><b>🔊Are you tired of feeling like you’re failing or not enough for what this season is demanding of you? </b></p>
<p><b>😫Does stress overwhelm you?  </b></p>
<p><b>☔Are you doubting that God has good coming for you and your family after this hard season ends…..wondering if this season will ever end? </b></p>
<p><b>🤗Wish you had an honest community that was transparent about how truly hard some seasons of life are? </b></p>
<p><b>💕Girl you found the right place! </b></p>
<p></p>
<p><b>This podcast will help you grow closer to God, deepen your faith, and strengthen your trust in Jesus as we study biblical truth and apply it in practical ways each week so you can experience the full peace of Christ.</b></p>
<p></p>
<p><b>Hey friend! I’m Riley- a wife, Frenchie fur mom, caffeine addict and Bible teacher who has been in the fiery furnace for so much of my life I’ve gotten pretty comfortable here.haha</b></p>
<p></p>
<p><b>When health issues, emotional trauma, family arguments and financial stress came, I consistently found myself reacting emotionally, searching for a worldly solution, or seeking comfort in the hard season through all sorts of distractions….</b></p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p><b>But in Daniel 3, when Sharach, Meshasch and Abednego refused to bow to anything “less than” God, they were thrown in a furnace, set 7 times higher than usual, and they survived (and actually walked away with a deeper, more rooted peace) by focusing on Jesus Himself not trying to quiet, strategize or organize the flames around them. </b></p>
<p></p>
<p><b>I knew I needed to do the same because the solution to an overwhelming season of hardship, confusion and pain is and always will be Jesus Christ our Savior.  </b></p>
<p></p>
<p><b>I began to dig deep into the Bible and found a deeper love and desire for Christ. And in God’s abundance of grace, that led me to have more resilience, joy &amp; peace in the midst of any suffering I was experiencing.  </b></p>
<p></p>
<p><b>If you are ready to reconnect deeply with God….</b></p>
<p><b>Fully trust Him at His Word...</b></p>
<p><b>And experience a life lived with the true peace of Christ…this podcast is for you!</b></p>
<p></p>
<p><b>✝️Grab your bible</b></p>
<p><b>🍵An Iced matcha and nestle in- we’re turning our eyes back to Jesus and abiding in the fire together! </b></p>
<p><b>🤘💚😊</b></p>]]></description>

          <itunes:summary>Are you juggling all the things and wearing all the hats? — wife, mom, entrepreneur, friend, ministry leader… being everything-to-everyone — but find you’re running on empty? 

Do you find it hard to trust God when your whole life feels like it’s screaming at you? 

Do you wish you had balance between what you know to be best for you and the actual routines you follow?

Do you wish you had a supportive, Christ-centered community that not only encouraged you but kept pointing you back to Jesus and cheered you on along the way?  

Friend, I am SO glad you’re here!

In this podcast, you will learn how to implement simple, practical routines that lower the noise and overwhelm, so you can find your way back to the peace of Christ that’s actually already living inside of you!

Hey friend, I’m Riley — a wife, Frenchie dog mom, caffeine addict, and fellow Jesus follower! 

For a long time, I thought spiritual growth meant color-coded Bible studies, pastel floral devotionals, hour-long quiet times, and a silent, clean, put-together life. But my everyday life was a disaster that I felt awkward describing and venting about in a devotional with flowers and inspirational quotes. My brain felt loud! My house was a disaster! I tried to connect in small groups but it always felt one sided! And I regularly felt I was failing at this whole ”Christian woman” thing. 

I loved Jesus, I just couldn’t make my real life match the picture I thought faith was supposed to look like.

Then God gently showed me something that changed everything: He didn’t need me to fix all the problems in my way — He invited me to focus on Him in the middle of the mess.  

So, with the Holy Spirits’ leading, I focused on what I COULD control when life and responsibilities were swirling around me. I found that those seemingly “small habits” and “daily routines” started to plant seeds that God used to transform my life from the inside out. 

I went from spiraling at every new problem and overthinking about my to-do list, to experiencing the true peace of Christ. I now live with a balanced life, resilient mindset and rest-filled home and you can too!

Grab your Bible, iced matcha latte, and nestle in — it’s time to grow closer to Christ and abide in the fire together!

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Season 2 Episode 39 | Overwhelmed Christian Woman? Burnout Recovery &amp; Building Better Routines (Proverbs 31:10-31)</p>
<p>Are you an overwhelmed Christian woman trying to balance work, marriage, faith, routines, mental exhaustion, and big dreams — while secretly feeling like you’re barely holding everything together?</p>
<p>In this honest and deeply encouraging episode of What the Heaven?, Riley Shour shares the hard conversation she and her husband recently had about discipline, burnout, overwhelm, stewardship, and the uncomfortable realization that life may not actually “slow down” before God asks us to grow.</p>
<p>If you’ve been:
• feeling stuck in survival mode
• emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed
• struggling to stay consistent
• trying to rebuild healthy routines
• balancing faith and real life responsibilities
• feeling behind in life
• struggling with discipline without falling into hustle culture
• trying to follow God while managing burnout, stress, or mental exhaustion
• rebuilding your relationship with structure, habits, and stewardship</p>
<p>…this episode is for you.</p>
<p>Together, we talk about:
• Proverbs 31 and the truth about biblical womanhood
• why discipline is deeply spiritual
• Christian burnout and emotional exhaustion
• how overwhelm affects your faith and routines
• building healthy systems in marriage and everyday life
• why purpose requires stewardship
• the difference between biblical rest and avoidance
• creating routines that support your calling
• becoming emotionally and spiritually stronger through hard seasons
• faith, discipline, and personal growth as a Christian woman</p>
<p>
This is a conversation about faithful stewardship, emotional healing, realistic routines, and learning how to stop waiting for life to get easier before becoming intentional.</p>
<p>If you’re an exhausted woman trying to reconnect with God, rebuild your habits, and create a peaceful, purpose-filled life without perfectionism, you are not alone here.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Season 2 Episode 38 | Overwhelmed and Running on Empty? Jesus’ Abundance is for You Too (John 21:1-14) </p>
<p>In this episode of What the Heaven?, we’re diving into the powerful story in Gospel of John chapter 21 — the moment Jesus filled the disciples’ empty nets after a long night of disappointment and exhaustion.</p>
<p>If you’ve been feeling spiritually drained, discouraged, stuck in survival mode, or wondering if God still has good things ahead for you, this episode is a gentle reminder that Jesus is not a God of barely-enough. He is a God of abundance.</p>
<p>We’ll talk about:</p>
<ul><li>why obedience still matters when you’re tired,</li>
<li>what to do when life feels “empty-net” season after season,</li>
<li>how God often shows up after disappointment,</li>
<li>and why Jesus still calls us into deeper waters.</li>
</ul>
<p>This Christian podcast episode is for women walking through burnout, uncertainty, emotional exhaustion, faith struggles, or seasons where nothing seems to be working.</p>
<p>Scripture Focus:
John 21:1–14 (NIV)</p>
<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p>This already has a strong emotional voice, but right now it leans more toward:</p>
<ul><li><p>faith deconstruction</p>
</li>
<li><p>church hurt</p>
</li>
<li><p>“hard and holy” intensity</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>…while your clarified avatar Hannah is ALSO searching for:</p>
<ul><li><p>overwhelm</p>
</li>
<li><p>survival mode</p>
</li>
<li><p>emotional exhaustion</p>
</li>
<li><p>healing</p>
</li>
<li><p>burnout</p>
</li>
<li><p>reconnecting with joy</p>
</li>
<li><p>feeling alive again</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>So the goal is NOT replacing your existing brand voice.
It’s widening the emotional doorway so Hannah immediately recognizes herself in it.</p>
<p>The other major improvement:</p>
<ul><li><p>front-load searchable keywords earlier</p>
</li>
<li><p>simplify repetitive lines</p>
</li>
<li><p>make the transformation clearer</p>
</li>
<li><p>tighten the emotional promise</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Here’s the stronger SEO + emotionally aligned version:</p>
<p>Have you ever loved God deeply… but still felt emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, spiritually disconnected, or stuck in survival mode?</p>
<p>Welcome to What the Heaven? — the podcast for overwhelmed Christian women who are trying to reconnect with God, rebuild their faith, heal emotionally, and rediscover the joy of being alive again.</p>
<p>Every Friday, host Riley Shour shares raw, honest conversations about Christian faith, burnout, emotional healing, anxiety, identity in Christ, church hurt, spiritual growth, wellness, and navigating hard life seasons with Jesus at the center of it all.</p>

<p>If you’ve ever struggled with:
• Christian burnout

<p>Struggling with sin? Feeling stuck in the same cycles, bad habits, or patterns you keep praying about but never seem to break? In this raw and biblical episode of What the Heaven? Podcast, we dive deep into Christian accountability, obedience to God, spiritual discipline, and the hard truth that what we refuse to change, we may actually be choosing.</p>
<p>Using the story of Book of Jonah (Jonah 1:1–17), this episode explores how disobedience impacts our peace, clarity, confidence, and relationship with God. We unpack what the Bible says about struggling with sin, delayed obedience, spiritual warfare, conviction, and breaking destructive cycles as Christians.</p>
<p>If you’ve been:</p>
<ul><li><p>struggling with recurring sin,</p>
</li>
<li><p>wrestling with conviction,</p>
</li>
<li><p>trying to break bad habits,</p>
</li>
<li><p>avoiding something God already made clear,</p>
</li>
<li><p>or feeling distant from God because of hidden disobedience…</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>this episode will challenge and encourage you with truth, grace, and biblical accountability.</p>
<p>We’ll talk about:
✨ Christian accountability and obedience
✨ Why partial surrender is still disobedience
✨ How sin shapes your life over time
✨ The hidden cost of tolerated sin
✨ Jonah’s storm and what it teaches about rebellion
✨ Breaking sinful cycles through daily obedience
✨ Faith, discipline, repentance, and spiritual growth</p>
<p>This isn’t fluffy motivation. This is an honest conversation for believers who want real freedom, deeper surrender, and a stronger walk with Jesus.</p>
<p>📖 Scriptures referenced:</p>
<ul><li><p>Epistle of James 1:14–15</p>
</li>
<li><p>Epistle to the Romans 6:16</p>
</li>
<li><p>Epistle to the Hebrews 4:16</p>
</li>
<li><p>Gospel of Luke 11:28</p>

Feeling stuck in the same cycles, bad habits, or patterns you keep praying about but never seem to break? In this raw and biblical episode of What the Heaven? Podcast, we dive deep into Christian accountability, obedience to God, spiritual discipline, and the hard truth that what we refuse to change, we may actually be choosing.Using the story of Book of Jonah (Jonah 1:1–17), this episode explores how disobedience impacts our peace, clarity, confidence, and relationship with God. We unpack what the Bible says about struggling with sin, delayed obedience, spiritual warfare, conviction, and breaking destructive cycles as Christians.If you’ve been:struggling with recurring sin,wrestling with conviction,trying to break bad habits,avoiding something God already made clear,or feeling distant from God because of hidden disobedience…this episode will challenge and encourage you with truth, grace, and biblical accountability.We’ll talk about:✨ Christian accountability and obedience✨ Why partial surrender is still disobedience✨ How sin shapes your life over time✨ The hidden cost of tolerated sin✨ Jonah’s storm and what it teaches about rebellion✨ Breaking sinful cycles through daily obedience✨ Faith, discipline, repentance, and spiritual growthThis isn’t fluffy motivation. This is an honest conversation for believers who want real freedom, deeper surrender, and a stronger walk with Jesus.📖 Scriptures referenced:Epistle of James 1:14–15Epistle to the Romans 6:16Epistle to the Hebrews 4:16Gospel of Luke 11:28Book of Jonah 1:1–17🎙️ If you’re looking for a Christian podcast that talks honestly about faith, sin, healing, surrender, identity, anxiety, spiritual growth, and real-life struggles with God — welcome friend.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Have you ever done everything right… and still felt like your faith was barely holding on?Welcome to What the Heaven? — a Christian podcast for women navigating hard seasons, wrestling with doubt, and refusing to let go of God anyway.Every Friday, host Riley Shour brings you raw, honest conversations about the real struggles Christian women face — loneliness, church hurt, faith deconstruction, anxiety, identity in Christ, unanswered prayer, and the exhausting gap between believing and actually living it.This isn't a podcast about having perfect faith.

<p>Feel like you’re not growing in your faith? Like your spiritual growth is slow, stagnant, or invisible?</p>
<p>In this episode of What the Heaven?, we’re breaking down one of the biggest lies in the Christian faith journey: that growth has to be big, dramatic, and obvious to be real.</p>
<p>If you’ve been frustrated with slow growth, discouraged in your personal development as a Christian, or questioning your progress with God—this episode will shift your mindset in a powerful, practical way.</p>
<p>Rooted in Matthew 13:31–32, where Jesus teaches about faith as small as a mustard seed, we explore how Christian growth actually happens in quiet, consistent, and often overlooked ways.</p>
<p>You’ll learn how to:</p>
<ul><li><p>Recognize real spiritual growth (even when it feels slow)</p>
</li>
<li><p>Shift your Christian mindset from “I’m stuck” to “I’m growing”</p>
</li>
<li><p>Identify the small “buds” of progress in your daily life</p>
</li>
<li><p>Train your brain to see transformation instead of failure</p>
</li>
<li><p>Stay encouraged in your faith journey during seasons of slow growth</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>This episode is for you if you're walking through a season of waiting, healing, or steady obedience and wondering if it’s making a difference.</p>
<p>Keywords: spiritual growth, Christian mindset, faith journey, slow growth, personal development Christian, mustard seed faith, Christian encouragement, growing in faith, mindset shift, Bible teaching Matthew 13</p>
<p>You are not stuck—you are growing. You just need to learn how to see it.</p>
<p>Until next time friend…keep your faith fiery and your eyes fixed on Jesus!</p>

<p>
What if the mess you’re noticing right now… is actually an invitation?</p>
<p>In this episode of What the Heaven? Podcast, we’re talking about how the spring rain doesn’t just wash the earth—it reveals what’s been hiding underneath after a long winter. The dirt, the clutter, the buildup we didn’t even realize was there.</p>
<p>And spiritually? It’s no different.</p>
<p>Sometimes God allows a “spring rain” season in our lives—not to overwhelm us, but to lovingly expose what needs to be cleared out. Old habits. Lingering sin. Thought patterns that no longer align with who He’s calling us to be.</p>
<p>This episode is your gentle (but honest) invitation to do a soul check:
What has this past season left behind in you?
What is God asking you to release, repent of, or renew?</p>
<p>We’re diving into:
– Why exposure is actually a form of God’s grace
– How to identify spiritual clutter from past seasons
– Letting go of habits and thoughts that don’t reflect Christ
– Practical ways to partner with God in your “spring cleaning” season</p>
<p>Friend, this isn’t about shame—it’s about transformation.
Because the goal isn’t perfection… it’s becoming more like Jesus.</p>
<p>So if you’ve been feeling stirred, convicted, or just aware that something needs to shift—this episode is for you.</p>
<p>Let’s clean house together. 💛</p>

<p>Are you walking through a hard season where your faith feels heavy, your prayers feel dry, and obedience feels exhausting?</p>
<p>In this episode of What the Heaven?, we’re having an honest conversation about what it looks like to follow Jesus when life feels overwhelming. If you’re a Christian woman struggling with doubt, anxiety, spiritual burnout, or feeling distant from God, this episode will meet you right where you are.</p>
<p>Through the story of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:38), we unpack a powerful truth: it won’t always be this hard… but God is still calling you to walk in obedience while it is. Jesus Himself felt deep sorrow and pressure—and still chose surrender.</p>
<p>This episode is both comforting and challenging. You’ll be reminded that this season is not your forever, but also invited to stop waiting for the hard to disappear and start walking faithfully with God in the middle of it.</p>
<p>We also dive into what it really means to live out Philippians 4:13—“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”—not as a motivational quote, but as a call to endure, obey, and trust God in the uncomfortable and stretching moments.</p>
<p>✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:</p>
<ul><li><p>How to trust God in hard seasons of life</p>
</li>
<li><p>What Jesus teaches us about obedience in suffering</p>
</li>
<li><p>How to stay faithful when you feel spiritually weak</p>
</li>
<li><p>What it means to do “hard and holy things” with Christ</p>
</li>
<li><p>How to take your next step in faith, even when it’s difficult</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’ve been waiting for clarity, relief, or motivation—this is your reminder: you already have Christ, and with Him, you can take your next step.</p>

<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p>When life feels overwhelming, confusing, or just plain hard… praise is usually the last thing on your mind. But what if that’s exactly where your breakthrough begins?</p>
<p>In this episode of What the Heaven?, we’re talking about what it actually looks like to intentionally search for things to praise God for—even when your circumstances don’t feel praiseworthy. Not fake positivity. Not denial. But a bold, grounded choice to fix your eyes on what’s still true when everything else feels shaky.</p>
<p>We’ll get real about:</p>
<ul><li>Why your feelings aren’t always telling you the truth</li>
<li>How praise shifts your perspective (even if nothing else changes)</li>
<li>Practical ways to start noticing God in the middle of your mess</li>
<li>What it means to choose worship when you’d rather shut down</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’re in a season where you’re tired, discouraged, or questioning what God is doing—this episode is your reminder that He hasn’t left, and there is still so much to praise Him for… you just might have to look for it.</p>
<p>until next time friend..keep your faith fiery and your eyes fixed on Jesus!</p>
<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p>Have you ever done everything right… and still felt like your faith was barely holding on?</p>
<p>Welcome to What the Heaven? — a Christian podcast for women navigating hard seasons, wrestling with doubt, and refusing to let go of God anyway.</p>
<p>Every Friday, host Riley Shour brings you raw, honest conversations about the real struggles Christian women face — loneliness, church hurt, faith deconstruction, anxiety, identity in Christ, unanswered prayer, and the exhausting gap between believing and actually living it.</p>
<p>This isn't a podcast about having perfect faith. It's about faith that fights.</p>
<p>Each episode takes your hardest feelings straight to Scripture — because your feelings are real, God's Word is final, and following Jesus was never meant to be surface-level.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>What do you do when you know God led you somewhere… but the season still feels incredibly lonely?</p>
<p>In this honest and vulnerable episode of the What the Heaven? Podcast, we talk about the side of life transitions that people rarely discuss — the deep loneliness that can come with change, moving somewhere new, and starting over.</p>
<p>After moving to Vermont over a year ago, I expected that by now life would feel more settled. Community would be forming. Friendships would be growing. Things would feel… rooted.</p>
<p>But the reality?</p>
<p>It’s been far more isolating than I expected.</p>
<p>In fact, after more than a year here, I only have three people’s phone numbers… and we don’t even text regularly.</p>
<p>And while that might sound discouraging, this episode is a reminder that loneliness doesn’t mean God has forgotten you.</p>
<p>Sometimes when God moves us into a new place or season, He begins by growing deeper roots before new relationships appear.</p>
<p>In this episode, we talk about:</p>
<p>• The hidden loneliness of moving to a new place • Faith during isolating seasons • Why life transitions can feel emotionally disorienting • Trusting God when community takes longer than expected • What the Bible says about loneliness • Finding hope when you feel disconnected or unseen</p>
<p>We also look at the encouraging truth from Psalm 68:6 — that God sets the lonely in families — and what that promise means for those walking through quiet or isolating seasons of life.</p>
<p>If you’re navigating loneliness after a move, a life transition, a new job, or a new calling, this episode will remind you that your story isn’t finished yet.</p>
<p>God is still writing the chapters where connection grows, friendships form, and the unfamiliar begins to feel like home.</p>
<p>Until then, remember this truth:</p>
<p>It won’t always be this lonely.</p>
<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p>Welcome to the “What the Heaven? Podcast” — where millennial women face life’s toughest battles with raw honesty and unshakable hope.</p>
<p>Let’s be real: life hits hard. Faith gets messy. But that doesn’t mean we tap out.</p>
<p>Here, we bring our heartbreak, doubts, and questions straight to Jesus — with authenticity and vulnerability — and then we gear up. We put on the armor of God, stand firm, and step back into the fight with courage.</p>
<p>I’m Riley Shour, and every Friday, we’re keeping it real about the chaos and the comeback — because your faith was built for this fight.</p>
<p>So hit follow, grab your armor, and let’s grow through what we’re going through!</p>

<p>Have you ever stepped into a new season of life and suddenly felt completely lost?</p>
<p>A move.
A new job.
A new calling.
A new environment.</p>
<p>Everything is unfamiliar — the rhythms, the people, the expectations — and you start wondering why something that felt so right suddenly feels so confusing.</p>
<p>In this episode of the What the Heaven? Podcast, we’re talking about what it means to follow God into a new season… and why feeling lost doesn’t mean you’re in the wrong place.</p>
<p>Through a story about getting completely lost on a 15-minute drive that turned into a three-hour journey through the winding backroads of Vermont, we explore how learning new terrain in life is a lot like learning new roads.</p>
<p>At first everything feels overwhelming.
Nothing makes sense.
Your usual instincts don’t work the same way.</p>
<p>But slowly… you begin to recognize the turns.</p>
<p>You learn the patterns.
You understand the landscape.
And the road home becomes familiar.</p>
<p>If you are walking through change, transition, or uncertainty, this episode will remind you that:</p>
<p>✨ Being lost doesn’t mean you’re failing
✨ New seasons take time to understand
✨ God directs our paths step by step
✨ It won’t always feel this new</p>
<p>Sometimes you're not lost — you're just learning the map God is giving you.</p>
<p>This episode will encourage anyone navigating:</p>
<p>• Life transitions
• Moving to a new place
• New jobs or callings
• Faith during uncertainty
• Trusting God’s direction
• Christian encouragement for hard seasons</p>
<p>Take a deep breath, friend.</p>
<p>You're not failing.
You're learning the roads.</p>
<p>🎧 Listen now and be reminded that God is guiding your path even when the way forward feels unfamiliar.</p>

<p>Have you ever stepped into a new season with God…only to feel like your body is completely freaking out?</p>
<p>Racing heart.
Anxiety attacks.
Muscle tension.
Headaches.
Even histamine reactions or exhaustion.</p>
<p>When big life changes happen, your nervous system sometimes takes time to catch up with what God is doing in your life.</p>
<p>In this episode of the What the Heaven? Podcast, we talk about the physical side of spiritual growth — why major change can trigger anxiety symptoms, stress responses, and emotional overwhelm…even when you're walking in obedience to God.</p>
<p>Your body isn’t rejecting your calling.</p>
<p>Sometimes God is releasing old stress patterns, fears, and thought cycles so you can heal and become the person He is shaping you to be.</p>
<p>And the good news?</p>
<p>This season won’t last forever.</p>
<p>Just like Jesus describes in John 15:2, pruning is temporary — and it always leads to growth.</p>
<p>In this episode we talk about:</p>
<p>• Why big life transitions can cause anxiety and physical symptoms
• How your nervous system reacts when life changes quickly
• Why healing often feels uncomfortable at first
• The spiritual meaning of pruning seasons
• How to stay rooted in Christ while your body adjusts</p>
<p>If you're navigating a season of stress, anxiety, health reactions, or emotional overwhelm while following God, this episode will remind you that your body is not broken — it's adjusting.</p>
<p>Your pruning season won’t last forever.</p>
<p>Your blooming season is coming.</p>

<p>Have you ever prayed for change… and then waited.
And waited.
And waited some more?</p>
<p>In this episode of What the Heaven?, we’re talking about the slow middle season — the space between obedience and outcome. The part no one glamorizes. The part where you’re doing what God asked, but nothing seems to be moving.</p>
<p>If you’re in a season of:</p>
<ul><li><p>waiting on a move</p>
</li>
<li><p>waiting on healing</p>
</li>
<li><p>waiting on financial breakthrough</p>
</li>
<li><p>waiting on clarity</p>
</li>
<li><p>waiting on relationships to shift</p>
</li>
<li><p>waiting on your body to change</p>
</li>
<li><p>waiting on God to feel close again</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>This episode is for you.</p>
<p>We’re unpacking what it looks like to trust God when change is taking longer than you expected, how to stay faithful when progress feels invisible, and why slow growth doesn’t mean spiritual failure.</p>
<p>Because sometimes the delay isn’t denial.
Sometimes it’s development.</p>
<p>If you feel stuck, forgotten, or frustrated in your faith journey — press play.</p>
<p>You’re not behind.
You’re becoming.</p>
<p>It's just a slow journey. </p>
<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p>Welcome to the “What the Heaven? Podcast” — where millennial women face life’s toughest battles with raw honesty and unshakable hope.</p>
<p>Let’s be real: life hits hard. Faith gets messy. But that doesn’t mean we tap out.</p>
<p>Here, we bring our heartbreak, doubts, and questions straight to Jesus — with authenticity and vulnerability — and then we gear up. We put on the armor of God, stand firm, and step back into the fight with courage.</p>
<p>I’m Riley Shour, and every Friday, we’re keeping it real about the chaos and the comeback — because your faith was built for this fight.</p>

<p>What happens when you follow God… and the change still feels exhausting?</p>
<p>In Episode 26 of What the Heaven?, I share a raw and unfiltered look at what obedience actually felt like this year — not polished, not triumphant, but overwhelmed.</p>
<p>Exactly one year after leaving a toxic environment and moving halfway across the country with chronic health challenges, financial pressure, and two French bulldogs, I started working full time again. Instead of feeling victorious, I had a breakdown in my chiropractor’s office. I was so exhausted I almost drove our new car into a cement pole.</p>
<p>This episode is about that kind of tired.</p>
<p>The kind where your nervous system remembers survival.
The kind where obedience doesn’t look glamorous.
The kind where you whisper, “God, I obeyed You… so why is this so hard?”</p>
<p>Using the story of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4:35–41, we talk about:</p>
<p>• Why obedience to God does not guarantee ease
• Following God through major life transitions
• Leaving a toxic environment and rebuilding from scratch
• Faith during burnout, overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion
• Trusting God when your body feels like it’s still in a storm
• The difference between being outside God’s will and simply being in a hard season</p>
<p>You can be overwhelmed and still obedient.
You can be exhausted and still exactly where God called you.
You can be in a storm — and still have Jesus in the boat.</p>
<p>If you’re a Christian woman navigating change, burnout, or a season of rebuilding after something hard, this episode will remind you: the storm doesn’t cancel the calling. It might just be part of the journey.</p>

<p>Have you ever felt like you heard from God clearly… but the change you prayed for still hasn’t happened?</p>
<p>In this episode, we’re talking about waiting on God’s timing, trusting Him when your prayers feel delayed, and holding onto faith when life isn’t changing as quickly as you hoped. Through the story of Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 21:1–7, we explore what it looks like to believe God’s promises even after long seasons of waiting.</p>
<p>I’m sharing our personal story of leaving Iowa after a painful job situation, praying for direction, sensing God leading us to Vermont, and then waiting nearly three years for the door to open. Even after the move, our first year was filled with health struggles, financial stress, car troubles, and emotional exhaustion — yet God was still working behind the scenes.</p>
<p>If you’re:
• Waiting on God to answer a prayer
• Feeling stuck in a hard season
• Wondering why God’s timing feels slow
• Trusting God but struggling with discouragement</p>
<p>This episode will encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus, stay surrendered to God’s will, and remember that delayed change does not mean denied promises.</p>
<p>God’s timing is never rushed — but it is always faithful.</p>

<p>*Have you stopped praying regularly… stopped reading your Bible… and then started feeling spiritually distant from God?</p>
<p>In this episode, we’re talking honestly about what happens when your spiritual disciplines fall apart — and how we can gently start rebuilding Christian habits like prayer, Bible reading, and quiet time with God.</p>
<p>I’m sharing my own experience of realizing I don’t have strong spiritual routines right now, and my heart to rebuild daily spiritual disciplines in 2026 without guilt, shame, or unrealistic pressure.</p>
<p>This episode will help you take small, grace-filled steps back into Christian spiritual habits that draw you closer to Jesus.</p>
<p>***</p>
<p>Friend, if you feel spiritually dry, distracted, or disconnected from God — you are not alone, and you are not too far gone. You can rebuild your relationship with God one small discipline at a time.</p>
<p>This is your invitation to start again just as I am!</p>

<p>Celebrate and remember the day of Epiphany with me as I share why January is all about fasting, prayer, and spiritual alignment. In this special episode, I discuss joining Transformation Church's 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting in a focused season of seeking God, pressing pause on life’s distractions, and preparing for Season 2 of the podcast, launching February 2026.</p>
<p>Learn why slowing down and stepping back can be the boldest act of faith, and how fasting and prayer can create space for clarity, transformation, and renewed vision in your life. I also close the episode with a powerful prayer, inviting God to refine, realign, and empower us for what’s next.</p>
<p>Whether you’re navigating a season of spiritual reset, seeking guidance during fasting, or looking to grow stronger in faith, this episode will inspire and equip you to press pause with purpose.</p>

<p>In this short, Scripture-centered Christmas devotional, we walk through Luke 1:26–38 and Mary’s quiet, world-changing “yes.”
She didn’t have perfect circumstances. She didn’t have clarity. She didn’t have a plan.
But she had a willing heart — and that’s all God needed.</p>
<p>If your December feels chaotic, heavy, emotional, or nothing like the “picture-perfect Christmas” the world advertises, this episode will remind you that God still chooses you, works through you, and meets you in the messy places.</p>

<p>This Black Friday, before the rush, the carts, and the timers counting down, I want to offer you a gentle, faith-filled reminder: you probably don’t need anything new today.
In this episode of the What the Heaven? Podcast, we’re talking about contentment, financial stewardship, and the subtle spiritual pressure that comes with “deals” convincing us to buy things we don’t actually need.</p>
<p>Whether you’re tempted (like I am!!) to grab a “can’t-miss” deal or just feeling the holiday pressure, this episode will help you breathe, pause, and remember: your worth, your joy, and your purpose are not waiting in a UPS package.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>BONUS EPISODE: Thanksgiving 2025 </p>
<p>Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday- despite having an eating disorder most of my childhood- I love this food centered holiday because it brought together all of my people and reminded me to be grateful for the wonderfully, weird family dynamics I had. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>In this special Thanksgiving 2025 bonus episode of the What the Heaven? Podcast, I, host Riley Shour, shares a deeply personal, spoken-word style prayer of gratitude after a year of unraveling, untethering, and rebuilding with God.</p>
<p>If you’ve walked through a season where everything felt like it was coming apart—closed doors, sudden transitions, emotional release, health battles, spiritual stretching—I pray this poetic prayer will meet you right in that space of split open sanctification.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Listen in for a slow, soothing, reflective Thanksgiving moment that invites you to pause, breathe, and whisper your own soft “thank You” to God—right in the middle of your becoming.</p>
<p>Perfect for:
✨ Thanksgiving reflections
✨ Christian women rebuilding after hard seasons
✨ Listeners seeking spiritual comfort, healing, and hope
✨ Anyone navigating transitions or emotional/spiritual unraveling</p>
<p>May this Thanksgiving prayer remind you that God has a perfect plan that bring you goodness and His name glory, even in the valley of death.</p>

<p>Before you commit to a brand-new routine or start stacking habits like you’re building a holy pyramid… have you actually brought any of it to God first? In this powerful episode of the What the Heaven Podcast, we unpack Proverbs 16:1–9 and talk about the lost art of sitting still, quieting your spirit, and asking the Lord for wisdom before you start planning your life like you’re the CEO of the universe.</p>
<p>We dive into why Scripture teaches that the plans of your heart belong to you, but the answer—and the direction—comes from God. When you pause, listen, and let Him weigh your motives, your routines move from self-driven hustle to Spirit-led alignment.</p>
<p>This episode will bless any Christian woman trying to build better rhythms, fight distraction, and create habits that are actually rooted in God’s wisdom rather than pressure or perfectionism.</p>
<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p>Welcome to the “What the Heaven? Podcast” — where millennial women face life’s toughest battles with raw honesty and unshakable hope.</p>
<p>Let’s be real: life hits hard. Faith gets messy. But that doesn’t mean we tap out.</p>
<p>Here, we bring our heartbreak, doubts, and questions straight to Jesus — with authenticity and vulnerability — and then we gear up. We put on the armor of God, stand firm, and step back into the fight with courage.</p>
<p>I’m Riley Shour, and every Tuesday + Friday, we’re keeping it real about the chaos and the comeback — because your faith was built for this fight.</p>

<p>Ever feel “attacked” when someone gives you feedback? Ever snap back because your ego flinched before your spirit responded? Yep… same.</p>
<p>
Today we’re talking about what’s actually happening when our pride gets bruised. </p>
<p>Spoiler: it’s usually less about them and more about the humility Jesus is trying to grow in us.</p>
<p>
This episode dives into the messy truth about why our reactions are so personal, how pride sneaks into our spiritual life, and how to bring those uncomfortable, chest-tightening moments to God for clarity and healing.
By the end, you’ll feel lighter, grounded, and way more aware of how God is shaping you in real time — even through the stuff that stings.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Season 1 Episode 19-</p>
<p>Are you praying for God to move—but still feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or convinced you’re in the wrong season? In this episode, we dive deep into Isaiah 43:19 and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes the chaos in our lives isn’t spiritual warfare… it’s a lack of discipline.</p>
<p>Using my own story of being a substitute teacher in a new district (and absolutely losing it over the inconsistency 😅), we unpack the real reason new seasons often feel uncomfortable. Spoiler: it’s not because God put you in the wrong place… it’s because new blessings require new habits.</p>
<p>Inside this episode you’ll learn:
✨ Why stepping into a “new thing” from God can feel messy or unstable
✨ How old routines create friction in new seasons
✨ Signs that YOU might be the source of the frustration (in a grace-filled way!)
✨ What spiritual discipline really looks like in everyday life
✨ How to perceive what God is doing when everything feels chaotic
✨ A powerful Sabbath reflection question to reset your heart and mind</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is your gentle, honest reminder that God can open the door to a new season any moment—but you have to walk through it with the right habits.</p>

<p>Are you fighting the wrong battles? In this empowering episode, we break down how spiritual growth works a lot like a kids’ karate class — you stretch, you practice, you build discipline, and THEN you learn how to aim your strikes where they actually matter.</p>
<p>Too often, we waste our energy battling ourselves, our circumstances, or our insecurities, when Scripture teaches us that the real enemy is spiritual, not physical. With the Holy Spirit as our coach and trainer, our faith muscles grow stronger through practice, stretching, and daily discipline — long before we ever step onto the battlefield.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If you’ve been feeling stretched, challenged, uncomfortable, or “in training,” this episode will help you see the purpose behind it — and remind you that the Holy Spirit is preparing you to overcome the real enemy with power, clarity, and confidence.</p>

<p>What do you do when God gives you an answer you didn’t want? When the dream job, the open door, or the big breakthrough you prayed for never happens — and instead, you end up right back where you thought you’d left behind?</p>
<p>In this raw and relatable episode of What the Heaven?!, host Riley Shour opens up about her own “Joseph season” — subbing through freezing Vermont winters while praying for more income and learning to trust God’s timing in real time. Using Joseph’s story from Genesis 37–50, Riley unpacks how every “no” from God can actually be divine redirection, and how manna provision — the kind that feels “just enough” — is still miraculous when it’s sent from Heaven.</p>
<p>If you’re struggling with disappointment, delay, or direction, this episode will help you see God’s hand in the middle of your “no.” Because sometimes, the pit is just the pathway to your palace.</p>

<p>In this powerful episode of the What the Heaven? Podcast, we’re diving deep into Hebrews 10:24–25 — a reminder that faith was never meant to be lived alone.</p>
<p>“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together… but encouraging one another.”</p>
<p>When we pray together, encourage one another, and show up in faith-filled community, God moves in ways we could never imagine on our own. This episode is your call to stop isolating in the struggle and start linking arms with other believers who get it — because together, we grow stronger, fight harder, and believe bigger.</p>
<p>And… something exciting: 🎉 I’m officially launching 1:1 Faith Coaching for women who are ready to stop spiraling and start standing firm in their faith. If you’ve been craving spiritual clarity, accountability, or just someone to help you fight back with truth — this is your sign.</p>
<p>✨ Let’s grow through what you’re going through — together.
Explore coaching, devotionals, and all new resources inside the <a href='https://stan.store/whattheheavenpodcast'>What the Heaven Podcast Stan Store</a>.</p>
<p>🎧 Tune in, grab your coffee (or armor), and let’s talk about what happens when women of faith gather and God shows up.</p>

<p>When you’re walking through a desert season of life, nothing feels easy — or Instagrammable. In this honest episode of What the Heaven, host Riley opens up about her current wilderness season: struggling with health issues, living off “just enough”, and learning to trust God when the bills are barely getting paid.</p>
<p>Using Isaiah 43:19 (“See, I am doing a new thing… I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland”), Riley reminds us that even when life feels dry and discouraging, God is still providing — one day, one miracle, one bit of manna at a time.</p>
<p>💭 Inside this episode:</p>
<ul><li><p>What it really means to be in a desert season</p>
</li>
<li><p>How comparison can kill your contentment</p>
</li>
<li><p>Why “just enough” is still a form of God’s faithfulness</p>
</li>
<li><p>A reminder that your wilderness is preparation, not punishment</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’ve been feeling behind, forgotten, or stuck in a spiritual or financial dry spell, this episode will meet you right where you are.</p>
<p>✨ Listen now for a raw, relatable faith story that reminds you: you can’t compare your desert to someone else’s paradise.</p>

<p>If God hasn’t said no, it’s not time to stop knocking. 🙌</p>
<p>In this bold and faith-fueled episode of What the Heaven, Riley reminds us that Matthew 7:7–8 isn’t a passive verse — it’s a call to relentless faith. Jesus said, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.”</p>
<p>This episode isn’t about mastering the how of persistence — it’s about remembering why you can’t quit.
Because if God hasn’t closed the door, He still wants you to knock on it with your whole heart.</p>
<p>You’ll be reminded to:
✨ Keep showing up with passion, even when nothing’s happening yet
✨ Stay bold and consistent in what you’re praying for
✨ Trust that God’s timing is perfect — even when you can’t see it</p>
<p>It’s not about striving harder. It’s about staying faithful longer.</p>
<p>🎧 Listen now and be reignited to keep asking, keep seeking, and keep knocking — until God says no.</p>

<p>Your words can shape your future. In this episode of What the Heaven Podcast, Riley unpacks the spiritual truth behind Proverbs 18:21—“The tongue has the power of life and death.”
Discover why the enemy can’t read your mind but listens closely to what you say, and how negative self-talk gives him a foothold. Learn how to speak life, declare God’s promises, and shift the atmosphere—even in the middle of pain, doubt, or heartbreak.
If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of discouragement or feel like your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling, this episode will help you realign your words with God’s truth and invite His power into your circumstances.</p>

<p>Do you find it hard to trust God when your whole life feels like it’s screaming at you? </p>
<p>Do you wish you had balance between what you know to be best for you and the actual routines you follow?</p>
<p>Do you wish you had a supportive, Christ-centered community that not only encouraged you but kept pointing you back to Jesus and cheered you on along the way?  </p>
<p>Friend, I am SO glad you're here!</p>
<p>In this podcast, you will learn how to implement simple, practical routines that lower the noise and overwhelm, so you can find your way back to the peace of Christ that's actually already living inside of you!</p>
<p>Hey friend, I'm Riley — a wife, Frenchie dog mom, caffeine addict, and fellow Jesus follower! </p>
<p>For a long time, I thought spiritual growth meant color-coded Bible studies, pastel floral devotionals, hour-long quiet times, and a silent, clean, put-together life. But my everyday life was a disaster that I felt awkward describing and venting about in a devotional with flowers and inspirational quotes. My brain felt loud! My house was a disaster! I tried to connect in small groups but it always felt one sided! And I regularly felt I was failing at this whole "Christian woman" thing. </p>
<p>I loved Jesus, I just couldn't make my real life match the picture I thought faith was supposed to look like.</p>
<p>Then God gently showed me something that changed everything: He didn’t need me to fix all the problems in my way — He invited me to focus on Him in the middle of the mess.  </p>
<p>So, with the Holy Spirits’ leading, I focused on what I COULD control when life and responsibilities were swirling around me. I found that those seemingly “small habits” and “daily routines” started to plant seeds that God used to transform my life from the inside out. </p>
<p>I went from spiraling at every new problem and overthinking about my to-do list, to experiencing the true peace of Christ. I now live with a balanced life, resilient mindset and rest-filled home and you can too!</p>
<p>Grab your Bible, iced matcha latte, and nestle in — it's time to grow closer to Christ and abide in the fire together! 🔥✝️🤘</p>

But my everyday life was a disaster that I felt awkward describing and venting about in a devotional with flowers and inspirational quotes. My brain felt loud! My house was a disaster! I tried to connect in small groups but it always felt one sided! And I regularly felt I was failing at this whole "Christian woman" thing. I loved Jesus, I just couldn't make my real life match the picture I thought faith was supposed to look like.Then God gently showed me something that changed everything: He didn’t need me to fix all the problems in my way — He invited me to focus on Him in the middle of the mess.  So, with the Holy Spirits’ leading, I focused on what I COULD control when life and responsibilities were swirling around me. I found that those seemingly “small habits” and “daily routines” started to plant seeds that God used to transform my life from the inside out. I went from spiraling at every new problem and overthinking about my to-do list, to experiencing the true peace of Christ. I now live with a balanced life, resilient mindset and rest-filled home and you can too!Grab your Bible, iced matcha latte, and nestle in — it's time to grow closer to Christ and abide in the fire together! 🔥✝️🤘——🎵 Music by The Atomic Agehttps://www.instagram.com/theatomicage/?hl=en]]></itunes:summary>
