What if, at the end of your life, you were What if, at the end of your life, you were asked one question: Did you learn to love? In this episode, we explore Jesus’ words in Matthew 22:37–39 and how everything in our faith hinges on love. Through scripture, personal testimony, and powerful stories, we reflect on what it truly means to love God and others—not just in what we do, but in who we become...

As we step into a new year, this is a gentle invitation to pause, be still, and listen for what the Lord wants to speak over your year. 💛 In this short message, I share why asking God for a “word for the year” can bring clarity, hope, and focus—and how simple it can be to listen. May you feel encouraged, loved, and confirmed as you take time with Him. Blessings to you as you begin this year with...

When God Says “Move”: A Testimony of Obedience and Perfect Timing In Day 30 of this journey, I shared how the Lord asked our family to place our home on the market—not immediately, but in early fall. It was an invitation to trust Him with timing, provision, and obedience before we could see the outcome. Today, I’m sharing the update. In under30 days, our home was under contract. And in the coming...

On Day 99 of 100 Days Fasting Fear, I open up about a deeply personal journey I’ve been walking through—one I didn’t even realize was keeping me bound. For months, I had a strong resistance to a certain area we were considering moving to. I didn’t like it, didn’t want it, and shut the door in my heart before I ever asked God about it. But the Lord, in His kindness, began to confront the false beli...

Today I share something tender that happened while a friend read Scripture to me. I found myself trying too hard to think about what God was saying—stuck in my head, analyzing, instead of simply receiving. In that moment, Father God gave me an image: He invited me to climb onto His lap while He read the Scripture to me. I could feel His excitement, His love, and His joy in every word. The passage...

We’re in the final stretch of this 100-day journey—and today, I’m choosing to recommit and finish strong. There have been pauses, delays, distractions, and moments where it felt easier to quit, but grace is here to begin again. If you have something in your life that was started but never completed, this episode is your invitation to pick it back up—not in shame, but in strength. Whether it’s a pr...

We don’t have to chase love — we get to live from it. 💗 Today’s episode is a gentle reminder that you were already loved before you ever tried to earn it. God’s love isn’t a finish line you strive for; it’s the foundation you start from. Join me as we pause the striving and breathe in truth again: “Even before He made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ…” — Ephesians 1:4-5 Let this epi...

🌿 Day 95 – Affirmations of Identity | Encounter Tribe In today’s reflection, I slow down to speak directly to your heart. 💛 I’m sorry if no one has taken the time to truly listen to you… to remind you that your voice matters, that your heart matters, and that you matter. So many of us have carried words that wounded us — labels, rejection, silence — and we began to believe we were less than who...

2 Corinthians 4:7 has been one of the anchor scriptures of my life. I used to believe that if I could just fit in , then I would finally belong — but God gently showed me that I was never meant to blend. I was meant to carry something sacred. We are the jar… He is the treasure. The power, the impact, the beauty — none of it comes from us, but from the glory within us. That truth set me free. I don...

Welcome to Day 93 of our 100 Days Fasting Fear journey with Encounter Tribe! 💫 Today we’re diving into the deep connection between fear and anger — how anger often shows up when fear goes unacknowledged. Sometimes what looks like frustration, control, or even rage is actually fear wearing a mask — fear of rejection, fear of loss, fear of losing control, or fear of being hurt again. When we pause...

These last few days I’ve been quiet, and honestly—I’ve struggled. Today was my birthday, and I thought about calling it quits and just calling today “Day 100.” It felt easier to celebrate and close the chapter. But later, the Lord put His finger on my heart and reminded me: You don’t quit when you’re this close to breakthrough. I have come too far to stop now, and so have you. There is a holy pers...

Today I’m sharing about how God is expanding my business — and with expansion can come new insecurities, doubts, and fears that try to sneak in. In this short reflection, I talk about how God is teaching me to renew my mind to Christ, stay close to His truth, and not let fear have a voice. Expansion is a good thing — but it’s also a season that calls us to stay grounded in who He is and keep every...

We’re entering the last 10 days of this 100-day journey, and God is still uncovering deep places of fear connected to old triggers and past trauma. When we allow Him to meet us there, He gently gets to the root and brings true freedom. In this short reflection, I share how He’s been helping me face those fears and ground myself in His presence and His Word—especially when stepping into new spaces...

Welcome to Day 89 of our 100 Days of Fasting Fear! 🙌 Today, I share a sweet yet powerful challenge from my seven-year-old son that reminded me to believe — to truly believe that my prayers are just as effective and powerful as anyone else’s. Sometimes we think we need to call on someone “more spiritual” to pray, but God invites each of us to pray in faith and trust Him with the outcome. May this...

Today I share how much God has moved me out of fear and into greater levels of faith. Just today, I had three opportunities to choose between fear and faith — and each time, I chose faith. Every single time, God showed Himself completely faithful! 🙌✨ This journey has been stretching, refining, and so full of His goodness. When we let go of fear, we make room for faith — and that’s where miracles...

Day 87 of our #100DaysFastingFear In Daniel 3 , we witness a powerfully courageous act of faith! Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow down to false gods, even when faced with the fiery furnace. Their trust in the one true God was so complete that they declared, Our God is able to save us… but even if He does not, we will not bow. This is fearless faith—trusting God not only for what He c...

Today I shared something big — I just pulled my son out of school and we’re stepping into homeschooling for now. It’s been a whirlwind of research, planning, and more research… but God revealed something to me in the middle of all that striving. So much of that endless searching came from fear — the fear that it wouldn’t be perfect, that there might be something better out there, that I might not...

In this video, I open up about a surprising emotional trigger I faced related to my husband’s healing journey a...

Day 83  of Courageous Faith brings us to the story of the bleeding woman in Mark 5:25–34 . For twelve long years she suffered, isolated, and considered “unclean.” Yet in a moment of desperation, she showed bold and courageous faith by reaching out to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment—believing that even the smallest touch would bring healing. Her story reminds us that courageous faith often looks li...

Welcome to Day 82 of our 100 Days of Fasting Fear! 🙌 Today we look at Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20. When Moab and Ammon came against Judah, fear rose up—but Jehoshaphat’s response was to seek the Lord and call a fast.

Freedom has a sound. Captivity has a sound. You can hear it in thoughts, words, and the atmosphere of a life. In this episode, we explore the contrast between the sound of freedom in Christ and the sound of captivity that keeps people bound.
