Brewing Faith: Coffee and Conversations

In this episode of Brewing Faith , we address the common spiritual ache of asking, "What was I made for?" This week's episode distinguishes between a career (a paycheck) and a calling (spiritual fulfillment), exploring how our struggles are often part of an uncomfortable process of divine refinement. To help us identify our unique spiritual gifts, episode 55 highlights three markers:...

In this episode, we are revisiting a vital question: Is our spiritual walk really that casual? (Spoiler alert: It’s not.) We dive deep into how modern culture, media, and technology subtly desensitize our hearts, target our children, and create a spiritual static that drowns out God’s voice. True love doesn’t mean compromising with darkness, and it's time to stop treating our faith like a casu...

Is social media a modern battlefield or a Kingdom tool? In this week’s episode of Brewing Faith: Coffee and Conversations , we’re diving into a candid conversation about tech stewardship and how we navigate the digital world as Christians.

This week, we tackle a topic that hits close to home: breaking free from generational strongholds. Diving into Ezekiel 18 and Jeremiah 31, we unpack how God completely strips away the excuse of ancestral blame and calls us into radical personal accountability. Your lineage might shape your past, but it does not dictate your destiny. Join us as we share three practical, biblical steps to break toxi...

"God does not call the qualified. He qualifies those that are called." In the Book of Esther, the name of God isn't mentioned even once. Yet, His fingerprints are heavy on every single page. If you are currently standing in a season where God feels silent, or where you feel entirely hidden and overwhelmed, this week's episode of Brewing Faith: Coffee and Conversations was made fo...

Ever asked God to use you for big things, only to realize you weren't actually ready for the refinement that comes with it? In this episode, we dive into the Old Testament to look at Isaiah's powerful encounter with the majesty of God. Before Isaiah could ever say, "Here am I, send me," he had to be completely honest about his own brokenness and allow God to do the heavy lifting...

Stripping away the pressure to "just stay positive" when life gets heavy, this episode dives into a raw, unfiltered look at the story of Job to answer a crucial question: How do we act when hardship inevitably arrives?

What do you do when the person you love most is choosing a path that breaks your heart? In this episode of Brewing Faith , we tackle the heavy reality of loving someone who isn't walking with Christ.

This episode of Brewing Faith explores the intersection of spiritual maturity and personal discipline, after this past season of life and watching my husband's preparation for an Ironman triathlon... I felt called to share this experience and my own personal interests as a metaphor for the Christian life. I hope this episode challenges you to move past the "comfortable chaos" of lazi...

In a "you do you" society that often mistakes enabling for empathy, we must return to the biblical standard that love does not mean coddling to protect feelings—it means staying firm to protect the soul from evil. Real love, as defined in 1 Corinthians 13:6, does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth; therefore, when we use excuses like "that’s just how they are" to avoid confronting...

In This episode, we explore the transformative power of AGAPE LOVE!! This sacrificial, unconditional love that goes much deeper than human emotion and expectation. Drawing from the lens of motherhood and spiritual maturity, we reflect on the raw gravity of Jesus’ choice in the Garden of Gethsemane and the ultimate victory of the Resurrection. Join us as we discuss how this "willful action" of God...

What happens when there is a gap between what we know God can do and what He is actually doing in our lives? In this episode of Brewing Faith, we explore the life-changing power of three small words: "Even if not." Drawing from the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3:18, I share my personal journey of wrestling with God over my grandma’s healing. For months, I prayed for...

One year ago today, my grandma pushed me to start Brewing Faith. Now, on our first anniversary, I find myself in a season I never expected: walking with her through the doors of hospice. In this vulnerable episode, I step away from my planned notes to talk about the "slow burn" of grief and the numbness that often comes with it. We explore one way that I have found comfort within all of these emot...

In this episode of Brewing Faith Coffee and Conversations, we explore the deceptive voices that aim to keep us stagnant and the strategic ways the enemy uses comfort as a trap.

By looking at Colossians 3:23 and John 10:10, we redefine what it me...

In this episode of Brewing Faith: Coffee and Conversations, we explore the beautiful chapter of Psalm 91. Life often brings seasons of pressure where we feel overwhelmed, "cracked," or simply not at one hundred percent. However, it is often in those very cracks that the goodness of God shines through most clearly. We discuss the transition from viewing Scripture as mere poetry to embraci...

We often treat the blood of Jesus as a religious concept rather than a spiritual reality. In this episode of Brewing Faith, we explore the practical application of the blood of the Lamb as our spiritual shield. Isaiah 53:5 tells us that by His stripes, we are healed. This means your restoration isn’t a future "maybe"—it is a finished work. We are discussing how to strike the doorposts of...

I took a two-week hiatus to pray and wait for what was truly on my heart to share. I did not want to just "check a box"; I wanted to put out content that was actually meaningful. Today on Brewing Faith , we are diving into "Spiritual Housekeeping." We often spend thousands of dollars on security systems and smart locks to protect our physical property, but are we guarding the s...

How does the wisest man to ever live end up making the most foolish mistakes? This week on Brewing Faith, we explore the life of King Solomon and the dangerous gap between intellectual wisdom and spiritual intimacy.

Are you caught up in the "New Year, New Me" hype? We all love the excitement of a fresh start and a good resolution (bingo cards, anyone?), but what if we shifted our mentality this year? Instead of asking, "What am I going to do?" what if we asked, " God, what are You going to do with me? ". In today’s episode of Brewing Faith , we’re diving into the power of acting...

As 2025 comes to a close, this episode is a moment to pause, reflect, and reframe a difficult year through the lens of faith.

Through Scripture and honest reflection, this conversation encourages you to stop dwelling on the past and step into 2026 with expectation. Walk boldly into this year with trust that God is doing a...

This holiday season can feel overwhelming with expectations, finances, and constant busyness. In this episode, we pause to look beyond the chaos and refocus on what truly matters at Christmas.
