Hey there! I’m Allyson Golden, and welcome to the Words Are Golden Podcast. I hope that as you listen, the Spirit will open your eyes and deepen your understanding of Scripture in new ways. If you’re hungry for Truth that transforms and not just “feel-good” faith, then this podcast is for you. I am an author, Bible-teacher, pediatric nurse, dog mom, and your new friend, who gets how noisy the world can feel. I know how we have advice and opinions coming at us at all times. My heart is to remind you of God’s word that is alive and active and applicable to every moment of our lives, from the ordinary to the really hard stuff.
How to Stop Overcomplicating Your Relationship With God - with Hosanna Wong
In this powerful conversation, Hosanna Wong shares her journey from a difficult childhood to discovering a life-changing relationship with Jesus and how one woman’s simple faith transformed her family forever. We talk about her new book, Uncomplicate It, and why so many Christians feel spiritually exhausted, stuck, or distant from God. Hosanna unpacks how busyness, shame, unrealistic expectations, and distractions can keep us from experiencing authentic faith and hearing God’s voice in everyday life. This episode is full of practical encouragement for spiritual growth, Christian living, and learning how to encounter God in the middle of your real, everyday life. If you’ve ever wondered how to grow closer to God without striving or performance, this conversation will remind you that Jesus came to simplify faith, not complicate it.
