Through a vulnerable personal story and readings of scripture we uncover how God meets us in the valley, how He lovingly corrects us, and how He leads us back to truth when the lies of the enemy feel easier to believe. We talk about...

This episode is an invitation to hunger for the presence of God, to get low before Him, and to seek His glory not from a place of demand, but from surrender.

In this episode, we dive deep into Exodus 33 and explore Moses’ powerful statement: “Show me your glory.” What does it truly mean to desire the presence of God? Through a careful breakdown of Exodus 33:12–23, we examine Moses’ heart posture, humility, and dependence on God’s presence rather than his own strength.

This teaching reflects on how God reveals His glory to the humbl...

Have you ever wondered if God's forgotten you in your pain? In this episode, I share a story of walking through hardship and how God used it to reveal His purpose and glory.

From physical pain to moments of surrender and worship, I’ve learned that suffering can be an honor when it allows God’s glory to shine through our weaknesses and pain.

In this conversation, we’ll explore:

Why do we suffer? Is it because of something we’ve done — or something our parents did? In this episode, we explore this question from Scripture: “Who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”(John 9:2–3).

Through this passage and many others, we’ll uncover how Jesus shifts the focus from blame to purpose — showing that being born with a physical disability or sickness isn't punishment, but a way for God’s glory to be displayed.

Join me as we look at what this means for our lives, our pain, and our faith.

In this episode, I share how the Lord spoke to me through Revelation 2:1-4 with a powerful reminder: “Do not lose your first love.”

We’ll talk about what it really means to lose your first love for Jesus, how even good things (ministry, family, self-improvement) can distract us from pure devotion, and practical steps to return to the simplicity of loving Him first.

If you’ve been feeling dry in your walk with God or struggling to keep your heart centered on Christ, this episode will encourage you to come back to Jesus with a renewe...

Feeling like your life lacks purpose—stuck in the same day-to-day routine? You’re not alone. In Ecclesiastes, King Solomon boldly declares, “Everything is meaningless.” In this episode, we explore what it looks like to live without meaning, uncover the true purpose of life, and discover how shifting to an eternal perspective can transform everything. 

📖 Scriptures mentioned: Matthew 24:6; Ecclesiastes 1:2; Ecclesiastes 1:12-17; Ecclesiastes 3:11; Ecclesiastes 3:12-13; Ecclesiastes 12:13-14; Matthew 6:19-20

If you’ve ever felt weak, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to process your emotions, I pray this conversation helps you find freedom and comfort in God’s presence.

In this episode, I share a personal story of wrestling with fear and learning to bring my grief honestly before the Lord.

It was in that place of brokenness that God showed me something life-changing: pain can be an invitation to draw closer to our Father. In that place, He creates a safe space where He meets us, sits with us, and brings comfort.

What if rest isn’t just about sleep or slowing down—what if it’s an invitation from God to be hidden in His presence?

In this episode, I share how God gave me the kind of rest that heals, comforts, and gives strength for the next moment. This isn’t just a story about slowing down—it’s about being held by the One who created rest itself.

If you’ve been weary, overwhelmed, or longing for peace, this conversation will remind you that God is calling you into the secret place where His gentle whisper...

In today’s world, spiritual content is everywhere—but not everything labeled “Christian” is truly the Gospel. In this episode, we dive into one of the most important questions every believer should ask: What is a false gospel?

Together, we’ll look at what Scripture says about false teachings, why they’re so dangerous, and how we can guard our hearts against deception. From Paul’s warnings to the early church to the challenges we face in our digital age, this conversation will help you discern truth from distortion.

This isn’t just about recognizing error—it’s about...

In this podcast episode, we do things a little differently! In the Bible, we see that the Lord talks to people through their dreams and dreams can be very powerful. When I was younger and going through difficult seasons in life, I would have dreams where God would be there to comfort me or just talk with me about my problems and fears. Every time I woke up from those dreams, I would feel renewed and trusted that God was truly coming to me through my dreams to help me personally. 

As I got older these dreams s...

Welcome my sweet friend Haley Gram to the podcast! In this episode, Haley and I read 2 Corinthians 4:16 and discuss hoping through hard times, the goodness of God, and resting in the promises of God and not our emotions. 

We talk about the goodness of God and how God's goodness is not based on what He does for us. God doesn't owe us anything. In fact, we owe Him everything. We know God is good despite our circumstances or feelings because that is what His word says and that's why can have hope in hard times because we k...

Do you shove down your emotions? Are you filled with questions, but aren't willing to speak them out to God? This has been a struggle of mine. Sometimes it's hard to be truly authentic with God when we can't even be authentic with ourselves. Even though God already knows our thoughts and heart, we dive into what just might happen if we speak those thoughts and feelings out to God, instead of shoving them down.
