Pieces to Pieces Podcast

From childhood, we are taught to put on a front and suppress our feelings for productivity. How we show up as an adult, a parent, an employee, or an athlete. Once the performance is over & the mask is taken off, we have to sit in the reality of who we are outside of the position and performance. In Part 1 of this episode, we share the dangers of upholding an outward routine when inwardly you a...

Your inner child is suffering because your outer adult believes burnout is normal, and it's not . When your outer adult normalizes burnout, it’s always at the cost of your inner child and heart. God is keeping you still so you can see what's going on within you, even when you don't understand what's going on around you. Be still and know (Psalm 46:10). Read these truths: 2 Corinthi...

The way you learned love may be why God’s love feels unfamiliar.  Your emotional health and well-being are begging you to release your heart back to the one who created you.  The created will never fix what The Creator never broke.   God never broke your trust.  He never broke our hearts.  We did that.  People did that.  Pain denied is pain multiplied.  God laid the foundation & gave you the b...

The smartest person in the room knows that they know nothing at all. What if you're losing this season because you're too focused on analyzing someone else's lane instead of your own? You miss the mark when you focus more on their journey instead of embracing the reality of your own. Regardless of who you were told you have to compete with, the only person getting in the way of you is...

Your heart is the soil in which everything flows and grows. Your heart affects what you think, & how you think has an effect on what you say, and then what you do. Examine your heart to see if you’re having a heart attack! Looking at these ages you’ve lived through: Age 1-5, Age 6-10, Age 11-12, Age 13-16, Age 17-19, Age 20-25, Age 26-29, Age 30-34, Age 35-40, Age 41-45, Age 46-50, Age 51-60, Age...

Ignoring God will cause you to ask, “why do I keep staying stuck in situations I’m supposed to come out of?”. ​Have you ever been from one relationship or friendship to another and end up seeing the same qualities, just in a different person and season? ​Have you ever questioned where you get your mindset and idea of “success” from? ​Have you ever sat still enough to see the ways people & things h...

Be honest... God, I don't trust you because of the pain I've endured, the results I've yet to see, & the environment I've been placed in.

Can you sit at a table with the people who hurt you and not internalize their projected hurt? Jesus was aware of who was willing to hurt Him when they no longer benefited from having access to Him. However, He had the wisdom and knowledge to know it was never His burden to carry, fix, or mirror their hurt. What if God allowed them to hurt you so you could check your own morals, values, & stand...

When hurt people project hurt onto others, they tend to surround themselves with people who share the same heart condition. It's easier to entertain people, places & things that fill a temporal void in your brokenness. It feels easier to avoid, co-exist, & numb the broken pieces of your heart versus addressing & healing from who & what hurt you. It is not your fault that you pe...

Based on how you show up in the world as an adult, what does your inner child say about you? Do you internalize & project the hurt that was projected to you? Do you run away from the unhealed parts & pieces of you? In leaving people and places better than we found them, we have to be mature in addressing the immature parts of us & our childhood experiences. In this episode, we dive dee...

The grass isn't...

You were never made to be like the Instagram influencer or the hottest rapper you idolize. You were never created to repeat the livelihood of the environment you grew up in. You were not born to go to school, work, retire, and die. You were born to share the light of God that is within you - in whatever capacity that looks like. However, when life begins to "life", often experiences and...

3 ugly truths about God are: It is hard being in the world without becoming OF the world. Our emotional & mental attachments cost us.

God does not place us in hell; our free will & what we choose to do with it now places us there. God loves you, but He loves you enough to allow you to make your ow...
