Faith is a Journey

Every one of us wants to be seen, known, and valued. But what happens when our identity starts depending on likes, compliments, success, or other people's approval?

Together we explore what Scri...

Psalm 130 begins with a cry from the depths. Before victory, before celebration, before relief, there is a person calling out to God in the middle of struggle.

In this episode of Faith is a Journey, I share a surprising moment that happened while reading my Bible.

From Jesus saying “Remember Lot’s wife” in Luke 17 to our own struggles with loss, pressure, co...

Some of the deepest wounds in life don’t come from what happened to us. They come from what never happened at all. The conversations we never had. The approval we never received. The comfort, encouragement, or guidance we spent years wishing for.

Most of us think it’s the big things in life that shape us. But what if it’s actually the small things quietly controlling us every day? In this episode, we talk about two habits that didn’t seem like a big deal at first but ended up revealing something deeper.

In this episode, we dive into First Kings 17–19 and walk through the story of Elijah. Most people know about the moment he calls down fire from heaven.

In this episode of Faith is a Journey, we share a personal story that happened just this morning. While getting ready for church, we encountered a neighbor’s dog running loose in our neighborhood.

That small moment led us to reflect on several teachings of Jesus,...

Are we just hearing the Word… or actually living it? In this episode of Faith Is A Journey, we dive into one of the most uncomfortable books in the Bible: James.

In this episode of Faith is a Journey, we sit at the kitchen table and talk honestly about freedom, control and the lie that we’re running our own lives.
