In our last episode, Kari Gross shared her personal testimony and the role SoulCare™ has played in her life. And now, we have the pleasure of welcoming her daughter, Noelle Baffa, for this follow-up conversation.
Following Jesus and allowing that to permeate through every aspect of your life doesn’t just change a person; it also changes their home, how they parent, and how they go through life. It shapes the culture of our home and how we disciple our children.
In this episode, Noelle shares how Kari’s discipleship helped shape her identity and purpose, the ways that SoulCare™ impacted how she was instructed as a child, practical ways for addressing anxiety from her experience, and much more.

Key Takeaways
- We can always turn to the Father. There is no issue or problem that is too great for our Heavenly Father. He gave us His Word, which is sufficient to handle any issue we may face.
- Try out these practical steps to manage anxiety. Start with a practical response. This could be calming your body with measured breathing and recognizing what you are feeling anxious about. Next, have a biblical response by clinging to the truth that God is in control, He cares for our needs, He is always with us, and more. Finally, recite a Scripture that reminds you of its truth. Here’s one that we recommend: “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” – Isaiah 41:10 ESV
- God can still work through our weakness. His power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). This verse reminds us that God can still work through us. For Kari, this is evident in how she discipled her children even through difficult circumstances. For Noelle, she continued to look for ways to serve even in the midst of her anxiety.
