Get Ready With God

You’re a human first — focus on the base of your spiritual pyramid and the rest gets easier.

Most of the time, I don’t know. I don’t feel certain, I don’t get the clear sign, and I don’t always feel guided. But I act anyway. In this episode, I share why I think believing without knowing is one of the bravest things we can do—and why our doubts don’t make us less, they actually make us braver.

Anxiety, grief, and imperfection can make us avoid God — as if we need to “fix” ourselves before we pray. This episode is a small, fierce reminder that God doesn’t wait for perfect people; God meets us in the messy process. Try one new reframe today: your shortcoming is an invitation.

What if God’s rescue doesn’t look like an exit, but like endurance? This episode explores how we can keep going, find purpose in the struggle, and see divinity even when the hard thing doesn’t go away.

Raised to fear God, I learned to avoid God. Now I’m learning a different way: God as path through consequences—not the punisher. Let’s talk about fear, accountability, and how honesty heals.

I left for a work trip with no clean underwear. It all worked out — and it taught me how grief, wonder, and faith can shift the way we live in the gray.

We’re quick to declare “it’s never been worse.” Maybe not. This episode is about validating the heaviness, refusing fatalism, and turning grief and pain into something that heals.

We’ve monetized loneliness and packaged purpose for clicks. Today I’m yelling (gently) about returning to your source—before you sign up for another course that sells your identity back to you.

Jealous, anxious, and stuck in the same negative loop? Today I’m confessing how I get triggered, how I physically disrupt my brain (peach shakes are involved), and why replacing habits beats shaming yourself.

Not every hardship has a bright side right away. But sometimes, down the line, it becomes the thing that teaches you who you are. Let’s talk about that strange, slow alchemy.

Sometimes you’ll feel a random nudge to show up for someone you barely know. Do it. This episode is about following those weird nudges, refusing the savior complex, and trusting that if we each show up where we’re called, the world gets held.

If blessings mean getting everything you want, you’ll always be disappointed. Here’s how I’m learning to see blessings as resilience, strength, and love anyway.

Does prayer work? Who knows. But I do know this: it’s more fun to believe, and it has carried me through. Here’s how I think about prayer now.

Feeling alone? Same. This week I realized that even when nobody else gets it—God does. Let’s talk about what changes when you really believe that.

Sometimes the most spiritual thing I can say is this: gas station soda is better. Also—victimhood will keep you trapped, accountability will set you free, and the choice is yours. 

Hymns I don’t like, Eminem in the car, bleeding through church clothes, and guacamole—what do they all have in common? A surprising reminder that peace is allowed to be simple.

Pushing passed cynicism to connection.  

How do you support someone going through a faith crisis without pushing, panicking, or preaching? Let’s talk about love, worth, and trust.

Sometimes God’s lesson comes from a sermon. Sometimes it’s from a stranger with a recorder at a stoplight.

If you’ve ever worried God was mad at you, this one’s for you.

Feeling stuck? Me too. But here’s what I’m learning: the only way through is to keep trying.

We’ve been told that needing validation is a weakness—but what if it’s actually a basic human need? Let’s talk about where to find it, how to ask for it, and why starting with God changes everything.

Today I’m talking about what I will and won’t pick up—and I’ve decided two things are never from God: frantic energy and shame. Urgency? Sometimes. Remorse? Sure. But panic and shame? Never. Let’s talk about how to get clear on what energy comes from divinity, and how to refuse the things that only tear us down.

What would you choose if you didn’t have to convince anyone it was the right choice? Today I’m sharing my journey of letting go of proving, defending, and performing—and what faith looks like when you stop trying to make it make sense to everyone else.

Fall feels like one long transition—back to school, back to schedules, back to everything. And transitions take energy. Today I’m talking about what a white weasel taught me about grace in the in-between, and why practicing remembering God’s hand in our lives matters more than ever.
