About this listen

 Amplify Hope Today is a raw and deeply human podcast hosted by Simon T. Bailey and Sherri Wear, two longtime friends who have navigated success, grief, divorce, entrepreneurship, faith, reinvention, and resilience side by side for more than two decades. In a world where fear is loud and uncertainty feels constant, this show explores why hope must be intentional. Through honest conversations about the topics most people avoid—loss, identity shifts, leadership under pressure, rebuilding after tragedy, trust, communication, and the courage to begin again—each episode invites listeners to expand their capacity, strengthen their resilience, and live and lead with clarity in permanent uncertainty. This is not surface-level positivity. It is a practice of choosing goodness, taking action, and becoming hopeful so you can be helpful.Amplify Hope Today Christianity Personal Development Personal Success Social Sciences Spirituality

    10. Feeling Stuck? Let Go and Trust God Instead
    Apr 26 2026
    Are you struggling to let go of control and trust God with your life?


    In this powerful episode of Amplify Hope Today, we dive into what it really means to surrender your plans, release anxiety, and trust that God’s plan is better than anything you could design yourself.

    Sherry shares how one simple mindset shift—“I only want for me what God wants for me”—completely transformed her life after loss, grief, and years of feeling stuck. Simon opens up about his own journey through disappointment, comparison, and learning to release control.

    This episode is for anyone who:
    • Feels stuck in life or unsure of their next step
    • Is battling anxiety, fear, or the need to control outcomes
    • Is walking through grief, transition, or identity shifts
    • Wants to deepen their faith and trust in God’s plan

    You’ll learn:
    • How to surrender control and trust God daily
    • Why forgiveness is essential for moving forward
    • How to identify and release what you’re holding onto
    • The connection between fear, stress, and control
    • Practical steps to experience peace, freedom, and clarity

    This conversation blends faith, personal growth, and real-life experiences to help you move from striving to surrender—and from fear to freedom.

    If you’ve ever asked, “Why isn’t my life going according to plan?”—this episode will give you a new perspective.

    Apr 19 2026
    Why do relationships fail—even when there’s no major betrayal?

    In this episode of Amplify Hope Today, we sit down with licensed psychotherapist Colette Fehr, author of The Cost of Quiet, to break down the hidden patterns that slowly destroy connection in relationships.

    We explore:
    • Why emotional disconnection is the real cause of most relationship breakdowns
    • The danger of conflict avoidance and “keeping the peace”
    • How childhood trauma and attachment styles impact communication
    • The pursuer vs. withdrawer dynamic in relationships
    • How to express your needs without causing conflict
    • The “address, share, repair” framework for healthy communication
    • Why small conversations matter more than big ones
    • How to rebuild trust, emotional safety, and intimacy
    Whether you’re navigating marriage, friendships, parenting, or leadership, this episode will give you practical tools to communicate better, resolve conflict, and build stronger relationships.

    Apr 12 2026
    Are you constantly pouring into others while feeling disconnected from yourself?
    In this episode of Amplify Hope Today, Simon T. Bailey and Sherri Wear unpack the truth about self-love, self-compassion, and how to stop abandoning yourself in a world that constantly pulls you in every direction.This is not the version of self-love the internet sells you. This is the deeper work. The kind that requires you to confront your inner critic, forgive yourself, rebuild self-trust, and reconnect with who you truly are.Through personal stories, faith-based principles, and research-backed insights, this episode explores:
    • Why self-abandonment happens and how to recognize it
    • How negative self-talk shapes your identity and decisions
    • The role of self-compassion in rebuilding hope
    • Why overgiving often comes from a need for acceptance
    • How to reclaim your boundaries and your “no”
    • The connection between inner healing and outer impact
    • Why peace should be your indicator for decision-making
    If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in cycles of self-doubt, this conversation will help you reset, reflect, and rebuild from within.Hope starts on the inside. And it starts with you.
