Where Is Your Face Showing Up? | Reflection Over Performance
In this episode of The Cup of Soul, Theresa and Candis slow the pace and invite you into a sacred pause. Sitting with Chapter 6 of The Garden Within by Anita Phillips, we explore the difference between reflection and performance—not how life looks on the outside, but what it's quietly revealing on the inside.
Rooted in Proverbs 27:19, "As water reflects the face, so one's life reflects the heart," this conversation gently asks:
What is your life reflecting right now?
Together, we talk about emotions as messengers, not enemies; awareness without shame; and why constant performance eventually drains the soul while presence restores it. We name the places where we may be showing up out of pressure instead of peace—and where God is inviting us to live from grace, not striving.
This episode is for the woman who feels tired of holding it all together, for the leader who loves deeply but feels stretched thin, and for anyone longing to tend their inner garden with honesty and care.
In this episode, we explore:
Reflection vs. performance—and why it matters
What your reactions and rhythms are revealing about your heart
The cost of being "everywhere" without being fully present
Grace as a gift that is received, not earned
Why Girl Talk Ministries exists as a space for wholeness, not perfection
We close with a reflective question and a prayer, inviting you to show up with presence instead of pressure—and to let God tend what He's already healing.
Pull up a chair. Take a breath. You're welcome at the table. ☕️
