The tension of the unknown can feel heavy. Waiting tests our faith. It stirs doubts. It can make us question God’s timing. But what if waiting isn’t wasted? What if it’s the very space where God does His deepest work? Today, I want to talk about what it really looks like to trust the process—not just conceptually, but in the middle of real life. Whether you’re waiting for healing, direction, provision, or peace, there are four postures that have helped me stay grounded in the wait.   1. Position Yourself with Expectancy   Habakkuk said, “I will climb to my watchtower and wait to see what the Lord says” (Habakkuk 2:1). He intentionally pulled away from the noise and made space to listen. That’s what positioning ourselves looks like—it’s setting our hearts in expectancy, even when everything feels silent. Just like Zacchaeus climbing a tree to see Jesus, sometimes faith means doing the small, intentional thing to prepare for a big encounter. “Just as a seed takes time to break

I Choose Today to Drop the Labels Episode 6 – The I Choose Today Series

One that stuck to your heart and became part of how you saw yourself? Maybe it was a word spoken in anger, or a judgment passed down that made its way into your identity. Sometimes, the labels aren’t even names people call us—they’re words we use to summarize our own pain. “Lazy.” “Too emotional.” “Not enough.” I’ve carried some of those labels, too. And for a long time, one of the most painful was the word “stupid.” That label was spoken over me when I was young, and it shaped how I walked into school, how I viewed challenges, and how I saw myself in the world. I was placed in a “remedial” group because I didn’t learn the way others did, and the system didn’t know what to do with that. Instead of getting the help I needed, I was just passed along—and the label followed me from grade to grade. By the time I reached high school, I wasn’t reading above a fifth-grade level. I didn’t understand grammar or composition. And

I Choose Today to Encourage

Molinda Hern April 26, 2025

Social media is at the forefront of life. It’s where we shop, gather news, communicate, network, promote… the list goes on. Like everything else, it can be used for good or evil. Since launching the podcast, I’ve found myself more active on social platforms. When I post, I usually choose a quote from either the blog or the podcast—something encouraging for whoever might stumble upon it. I only get a second (maybe less) to make an impact. So I choose my quotes wisely. And then I started thinking… If someone were scrolling through the words I speak in a day, what would the quote of the day be? Would it lift someone up or tear them down? Would it stop them in their tracks with hope or heap more heaviness onto their hearts? The Bible tells us what our “quotes” should sound like. Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 5:11: “So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.” This was the very first verse I clung to when I started this I Choose Today journey—because that is my heart: to encourage. If you’ve listened to Episode 2 of the podcast, I Choose Today to

I Choose Today to Stand in Victory

Molinda Hern April 12, 2025

I knew stepping into obedience would cost something—but I didn’t expect the resistance to feel this fierce. Launching a podcast wasn’t just a creative step. It was a Kingdom step. And from the moment I said yes, I could feel the enemy trying to say no.  As I got closer to the launch date, the resistance intensified. Mere hours before everything was set to go live, I found myself sick, discouraged, and overwhelmed. Everything felt like it was falling apart—and honestly, I wondered if I’d even make it to release day. The attacks didn’t come all at once or with flashing lights. Some of them were subtle. Some came in the form of discouragement, self-doubt, or constant tech issues that made me want to quit before I even started. Others came as spiritual heaviness or emotional overwhelming moments that didn’t make sense until I looked deeper. Spiritual warfare is real. We often expect it to look like a scene from a movie, but more often than not, it’s in the weariness that won’t lift, the fear that creeps in after you’ve taken a bold step, or the doubt that whispers, “You’re not equipped for this.” But Scripture reminds us:  “For
