Day One Disciple Podcast

What does REAL love actually look like? In today’s world, love has become a word people throw around loosely — but Jesus showed us that Biblical love is rooted in ACTION, sacrifice, forgiveness, patience, and obedience to God. In this episode of Day One Disciple, we talk about: Love in action Loving people through difficult seasons Forgiveness and emotional healing Why the church must love better...

This episode is coming from a real place. Sometimes life hits all at once—fear, uncertainty, pain—and you’re still expected to keep going. In this conversation, I share what God has been showing me about abundance in the middle of hard seasons. We walk through Luke 1 and unpack the difference between Zechariah’s doubt and Mary’s surrender—and how our response to God can either silence us or positi...

We pray for abundance… but ignore the vessel God gave us to carry it. Our bodies. Growing up, I saw what happens when we don’t steward our health well— heart disease, diabetes, burnout… even in the church. And nobody really talked about it. But the truth is… discipline isn’t just spiritual. It’s physical too. If we’re called to be stewards, that means everything God gave us matters— our minds, our...

If you feel like everything in your life is falling apart… this episode is for you. In this episode of Day One Disciple, we’re talking about spiritual rebirth, the pain of pruning, and why God removes things from your life before He rebuilds it the right way.

There’s an idol that many Christians struggle with… and most don’t even realize it. It’s not money. It’s not relationships. It’s not success. It’s control. In this episode of Day One Disciple, we’re talking about how our need to control everything can quietly take God’s place in our lives — and what true surrender actually looks like. If you’ve been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or like you have t...

Have you ever felt like God allowed everything in your life to fall apart? In this episode, we dive into the powerful story of Hosea and how it reflects our real lives today. So many times we choose our flesh over God — chasing relationships, validation, money, comfort, and things that were never meant to fulfill us. But the story of Hosea reveals something deeper about God's character. Sometimes...

Many believers were taught that struggle equals holiness. But that’s not what the Bible says. In this episode of Day One Disciple, we’re breaking the lie that lack is God’s will and unpacking why abundance is part of your inheritance—not something to feel guilty about. God doesn’t glorify struggle. He heals it. If you’ve ever loved God deeply but still felt stuck in survival mode, this episode is...

Whether you’re single and preparing, dating with intention, married and growing, or in a spiritually mismatched marriage like I am — this episode will give you clarity, peace, and direction. We’re...

The fire didn’t destroy you — it refined you. In this final part of the Suffering Series, we’re talking about what happens after the pain. When the storm passes. When the tears dry. When God begins to reveal what all the suffering was for. This episode is about stepping into healing, strength, and purpose — the part of your journey where you realize you’re not the same person you were when the fir...

Are you truly walking with God — or just working for Him? 💭 In this episode, we’re taking a break from the Suffering Series to talk about something every believer has to face at some point: the difference between knowing about God and truly knowing Him. Because if we’re honest… church activities, ministries, and routines can sometimes make us look “on fire” for God while our hearts quietly drift...

When I tell you this season has been a lot… I mean it. I’ve been quiet for a reason — because I’ve been in the thick of it. This episode is me being real about what happens when you finally surrender to God and start walking in your purpose. The spiritual attacks come heavy, and it’s not because you’re doing something wrong… it’s because you’re finally doing something right. This is part two of Th...

In this episode of the Day One Disciple podcast, we’re confronting a hard truth: too many of us confuse bold faith with impulsive action. Just because you want it to be God doesn’t mean He said it.
