I Choose Today

In this episode of the I Choose Today Podcast, we continue our Identity in Christ series by exploring the difference between favor and labor. Many of us have been conditioned to believe that blessing follows effort and that closeness with God must be maintained through performance. But Scripture reveals a different reality. Favor is not something we earn. Favor flows from our identity as those who...

In this episode of the I Choose Today Podcast, we continue our Identity in Christ series by exploring a truth many of us struggle to fully live from: There is a difference between being accepted and seeking approval. Approval is performance-based. Acceptance is position-based. Many of us say we believe we are saved by grace, yet we quietly live as though we must continue proving our worth—to God,...

In this episode of the Identity series, we explore one of the most stabilizing truths of who we are in Christ: we are securely loved. After learning that our identity is received, that we can rest from striving, and that we are chosen and known, the question many hearts still carry is whether God’s love will last. Scripture reveals that love is not something God turns on and off — it is who He is....

In this third episode of the Identity series, we move from receiving identity to living from identity. Many believers say they trust grace, yet still live as though God is grading them. This episode addresses the hidden striving many of us carry in our spiritual lives — the quiet pressure to prove we are serious, consistent, or worthy. Jesus’ words, “It is finished,” change everything. Through Scr...

In this second episode of the Identity series, we move from why receiving is hard to how we actually learn to receive.

This episode explores what we truly receive in Christ — His rest, His glory, and intimate relationship — an...

As we begin a new year, many of us feel pressure to redefine ourselves—to be better, stronger, more confident, or more put together. But what if identity in Christ isn’t something we strive to achieve, but something we slowly learn to receive? In this foundational episode of the Identity series, we talk about why receiving our identity in Christ can feel so difficult—especially for those who have...

This brief Christmas reflection centers on the humble way Jesus entered the world—and the heart He calls us to reflect today. Born not in power or grandeur, but in humility and nearness, Jesus came close to the lowly, the overlooked, and the ordinary. As we remember His birth, we’re invited to imitate His heart through humility, gentleness, love, and unity. Scripture References: John 17 (Jesus’ pr...

Our words carry weight. They build or they break. They plant hope or plant fear. And for many of us, the way we speak today is shaped by what we longed to hear years ago. In this episode, Mo shares why speaking life matters so deeply to her — shaped by her own childhood longing to be seen, noticed, and encouraged. She reflects on how silence formed her, how coming to Christ taught her to receive e...

When life feels loud, uncertain, or overwhelming, peace can feel like something you have to chase. But in Scripture, peace is not something you pursue — it’s something you allow to rule. In this episode, Mo shares how the peace of Christ becomes the governing voice in the middle of real-life pressures, noise, and internal battles. Drawing from Colossians 3:15, Isaiah 26:3, and John 14:27, Mo explo...

Have you ever felt like you’re wandering in a spiritual wilderness—uncertain, unseen, or running on empty? The wilderness can feel like the place where God is silent, but in Scripture, it’s actually the place where He speaks. In this episode, Mo explores the Hebrew meaning of midbar—the “place of speaking”—and how God uses wilderness seasons to meet us, refine us, and prepare us for what’s next. T...

Every chiseling, every delay, every unseen moment has purpose. You’re not a loose brick...

Sometimes what God places in our hands feels so small, so ordinary, that we’re tempted to overlook it. But in God’s kingdom, nothing is wasted. Just like a tiny seed carries the blueprint of a towering tree, your ordinary moments hold extraordinary potential—not because of what they are, but because of who the Sower is. In this episode of I Choose Today, we’ll explore: Why small beginnings carry b...
