For The One

This is an unofficial "Part 2" of a 3 part conversation based on an encounter I had with the Lord. In a powerful, much needed time of weeping that came from reading the book, "Searching for Sunday," the premise of the church as both a body and a bride was illuminated. The metaphor of being pregnant with something, with carrying something, came into view and I immediately though...

This is an unofficial "Part I" of a 3 part conversation based on an encounter I had with the Lord. Jesus commands us to forgive those who hurt us, to release them of their offense. That feels like we're just letting them off the hook though, and with no apology, remorse or repentance from the other party, it can feel impossible to not be angry or bitter. I've been wrestling wit...

I came across a map in the back of my TPT Bible of the last week of Jesus' life stretched across the city of Jerusalem. I had never studied His movements closely before, especially those of the last 24 hours of His life here on Earth. However, the in depth symbolism of the names and locations pertaining to His betrayal, arrest and eventual death are not only prophetic, but intentional. This i...

My friends Faith and Kendyll are on the podcast discussing what it's been like growing up Christian. A lot of Christian content seems to be testimonies of people being delivered and finding faith in their adult years- and WE LOVE THESE STORIES! However, when you've grown up in the church and in faith your whole life there seems to be this pattern of perfectionism and striving that develo...

A continuation of "Do I Have The Love I Had At First?" How do we let God's love nourish our hearts? How do we be on the right side of God? I'm looking again at John 15 along with Romans 3, and have found the answers to these questions, as I'm on a journey to be filled with God's love, to love others deeply, and to be on the right side of God. This discussion is a deep...

The Spirit revealed to me through a friend in a word of knowledge, that I had an unknown idol of "wanting to be on the right side of God." A request that's been heavy on my mind and heart, a request that is not in and of itself a wrong desire, but I had been placing that over and as more important than being in God's presence.  "You must continually let my love nourish you...

An honest processing of how to love in the midst of disagreement. The struggle that it is to maintain unity amongst so much division. The trial of discerning what is opinion versus what is false teaching. The lesson of what needs addressed and what doesn't. The body has many parts, all are necessary and none are more or less important than the others. Paul tells us that if we have all the gif...

Erika Kirk gave a beautiful message of forgiveness at Charlie's memorial last week- an incredible gesture of grace that only could have come through the Holy Spirit. The feminists have come after her for being an accomplished woman who is a wife and mother. The Jezebel spirit that I have been hearing about for years has only been proven as MORE real leading up to Charlie Kirk's assassina...

A warning against the idolization of Charlie Kirk; a look into the natural disasters that took place following his death in Utah and an unfiltered questioning of Christian's blind allegiance to the current country of Israel. I believe what so many are craving is truth. We yearn for honesty, for vulnerability, for authenticity. And yet, we live in a world that hates Truth, that hates questions...

This podcast episode was pre-recorded two weeks ago, and it's as prevalent today as it was then. Christ called us to spread truth in love, no matter how uncomfortable. And as Christians, we need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable, with not having all the answers. We grieve, we wrestle, we question but at the end of it all we have to come back to the Lord- come back into His presence,...

It's been a heavy week/weeks for our country. This episode is to honor those who lost their lives, unjustly. This is spiritual, not political. This is hope rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ amidst grief, confusion and anger. There's so much I could have said, but I believe this is what was needed to be said in partnership with the Lord. I'm praying for my brothers and sisters in...

I couldn't leave our conversation on the ever-flowing gift of living water offered by Jesus just in Part I. I give some answers as to why we may (and I specifically) deliberately dehydrate myself and pull insight from scripture that may help shift your perspective next time you're tempted to work to obtain water that will leave you thirsty again. Revisiting John 4 and the story of the wo...

"Deliberately Dehydrated" is a term I coined for what I do to myself spiritually. It is easier to turn my brain off and distract myself from what's in front of me than take it to God and get my satisfaction in Him. We as humans in our physical bodies as well as our spirits are hungry and thirsty constantly and the lie is thinking we're only hungry or thirsty once. I start to tr...

I'm hosting my first ever guest on the podcast this week! My roommate and one of my best friends, Faith! Hear how we became roommates and how intentional God was to bring us together! This episode is giving you a look into our sisterhood and we hope it feels just like sitting down at the dinging table with us. If you take away anything from this episode it will be that we have RANGE! We'...

My love of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings-and honestly all things Middle Earth-runs deep. Every time I watch the movies, just like every time I read scripture something new is revealed to me. Everything God has put in scripture is intentional. I felt convicted this week on how grateful we should be that our Bibles and church gatherings are legal and freely open for us Christians in America. Ther...

A Girl Dinner of Podcasts: I talk Big Orchid and how I'm struggling to be a plant mom, why a Canadian man was in my parent's garage and most importantly, how I will be starting the process of going to church regularly after leaving the church a year ago. I talk through church hurt, church "shopping" and give you a raw look into processing grief, disappointment and unforgiveness...

I did a 3 day fast, recording this episode in the midst of it, and touch upon the importance of fasting and sabbath as spiritual disciplines. I have to be honest that they are newer to me and still feel uncomfortable. I felt like the Holy Spirit brought me to Hebrews 12 and Philippians 2, where Jesus is described as not seizing equality with God, but emptying himself of his deity and becoming huma...

I'm addressing a viral clip of worship happening in the White House back in April of this year, that seemed to have been widely misunderstood. This isn't just about politics and presidents, this is about the covering, face and favor of the Lord being over America. It can be extremely difficult to not only fight being offended by those who don't like/don't agree with your views...

I've learned in my season of hosting a Bible Study at my apartment that I lean more like being Martha than Mary as Jesus visits their home. Hosting and having a home full of people makes my heart overjoyed, but getting prepared each week takes time physically and spiritually. I feel as though I have been put in a position to help fill the gap of much needed community and discipleship, especia...

I'm discovering that if we're open to God's hand we will experience constant pruning, this is the Gardener sanctifying us and cutting out every thing not producing good fruit. He is Lord, but He is also Abba (Father) and a good one at that. We have to surrender self-reliance and control just as constantly because "I" doing anything in my own strength will be unsustainable...

As uncomfortable and difficult as we usually find it, the wilderness is necessary and serves as a place where dependence on God is birthed. Just because you've been through a wilderness season once does not innately mean you won't be through one again. It causes you to be in complete reliance on God because you have nothing else. What do you actually need to be fulfilled and satisfied? T...

This is my most vulnerable conversation with ya'll yet. A raw episode about being a woman, being a Christian, with undiagnosed ADHD and how I've recently discovered that my brain doesn't work in the same way as others'. I talk about struggling to be on time, my on going battle to focus my mind when I pray, how I worship with movement and how shame has tried to tell me that some...

As a Christian, sanctification is a life-long process. Hebrews 5 talks about the importance of maturing as a believer, weening off milk or infant food and starting to eat solid foods. This process can feel not only intimidating at times, but also like a wrestling between your spiritual self and your fleshly/worldly self. Jesus shows us how this battle can be won and we can be victorious in our san...
