If the twelve days of Christmas are giving everything they thought you came for,
but your heart is quietly whispering, “Is this it?” — this episode is for you.
In Episode 4 of the Still Holy, Still Healing Holiday Series, Natasha Elaine explores the tension so many believers carry silently: being deeply grateful, walking in favor, loving God fully — and still feeling unfulfilled.
This is a conversation for the ones learning how to praise God for what is
while resisting the urge to side-eye Heaven about what isn’t.
Joined by faith-based therapist Psalm McDaniels, LCSW, this episode unpacks:


The difference between holy hunger and discontent


Why gratitude doesn’t cancel desire


How scroll culture feeds comparison and quiet dissatisfaction


Why unfulfilled prayers are often protection and preparation, not punishment


Why abundance is more than money — it’s peace, alignment, and capacity


Featuring music from Pastor Mike Jr. (Kingdom Artist of the Week), including Grateful, Miracles, Ha Ha Ha, He Got Me, and Amen, this episode blends clinical insight, scripture, humor, and worship to remind you:
God does not give partial promises.
He gives process.
If you’re waiting, wondering, worshiping — you’re still in the story.
Word of the Week: Abundance
