Sifting
by Tyila Cooks
What if the weight you’re carrying isn’t punishment, but preparation? In this episode of the SHIFT Podcast, we dive into the power of sifting — letting go of fear, shame, toxic habits, expired relationships, and old labels that keep you stuck. Just like flour must be sifted to rise, your life has to be refined so God can bless what remains. I share a personal story from my grandmother’s kitchen and how her biscuit-making wisdom still preaches truth today. We’ll discuss how to release the clutches of regret, trauma, and comparison, and how to recognize when people or habits are part of God’s refining process. This is not about perfection; it’s about presence, accountability, and choosing covenant over convenience. Whether it’s your heart, your habits, your circle, or your calling, this episode will give you practical steps to release what holds you back and rise into the purpose God prepared for you.
