What would it take for you to say, “If I die, I win”? Not from a place of comfort or poetry, but from prison, with real suffering in front of you. That’s the posture Paul takes in this part of his letter to the Philippians. He’s not trying to sound spiritual. He’s showing us what it looks like when your entire life belongs to Christ. In today’s episode, we’re walking through Philippians 1:19–26. P...

This episode is a vulnerable one. I’m sharing how parenting—especially in the middle of tantrums and meltdowns—has been showing me who God really is. His patience. His protection. His kindness.

This episode is a punch in the gut in the best way. Paul was in prison when he wrote this—and instead of asking for pity, he celebrated that his suffering was being used to push the gospel forward. He wasn’t focused on comfort. He wasn’t obsessed with his platform. He wasn’t even mad that others were preaching Christ with the wrong motives. He was laser-focused on one thing: is Jesus being made kn...

Once you've accepted Jesus as your Savior, there's nothing to fear. The enemy’s tactics are des...

In this episode, we’re giving voice to the wilderness seasons. You’re not a failure for questioning. You’re not less spiritual for feeling stuck. We’re diving into the Word, looking at r...
