Hey there, Mama! Welcome back to the Mama Disciple Podcast. I'm your host, Rhianna Sanford — a homeschooling and special needs mom, health advocate, and most importantly, a disciple of Christ. Today, we’re tackling a popular Christian phrase that sounds comforting... but simply isn’t true.

👉 “God won’t give you more than you can handle.”
We’ve all heard it — maybe even said it. But when we dig into Scripture and look at real life? We see the exact opposite.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Where this saying actually comes from — and why it’s misused.

• Biblical examples that show God absolutely allows more than we can handle.

• Why God allows overwhelming circumstances (hint: it’s not to shame you!).

• How this common phrase can actually be spiritually harmful.

• The beautiful truth that sets us free: we don’t have to be strong enough — because Jesus already is.

You’ll leave this episode encouraged, equipped with Scripture, and reminded that when life feels like too much, you are exactly where God can meet you most powerfully.

📖 Scripture references include:
1 Corinthians 10:13 • John 16:33 • 2 Corinthians 1:8-9 • 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 • Psalm 61:2
