In Jesus’ Name | Christian Podcast | Overcoming Fear and Shame to Live Free in Jesus Name

In this episode of The Journey, we turn to Ephesians 4 and 5 and talk about why so many of us feel stuck in our walk with Jesus — even though we deeply desire more of Him. So often, we’re moving forward on the journey while carrying a backpack full of bricks, and then wondering why the road feels so heavy and slow. Those bricks are Baggage, Bondage, and Beliefs. • Baggage from our past that we hav...

Episode Description — The Journey: The Hiker In this episode of The Journey, we look at Jesus’ words in Matthew 7 about the narrow gate and the wide gate — and the choice every one of us has to make. The narrow gate isn’t easy, familiar, or comfortable, but it leads to life. And choosing it means we have to leave some things behind and be willing to look different as we follow Christ. We talk abou...

🚶‍♀️✨ NEW SERIES: The Journey ✨🚶‍♂️ This series is about choosing to be all in. Because following Jesus is a journey — and yes, it can be hard — but God is in the thick of it with us every step of the way. Along the journey, we all have a choice: 👉 Will we claim defeat, embrace pain, and identify with lies? 👉 Or will we claim victory, embrace healing, and identify with truth? You can’t run f...

In this episode, we talk about what it truly means to be a living sacrifice — not just in words, but in the way we think, choose, and live every day. Drawing from Romans 12:1–2 and 1 Corinthians 9–10, we see how sacrifice begins in the mind and discipline shapes the body, and how the two must work together to honor God. A renewed mind sets our direction, but disciplined habits determine how we wal...

This is the most downloaded episode of 2025. It's only fit that we share it on Christmas Eve. Jesus came to set you free, in Jesus' Name. This episode is personal.

We are looking at 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 in the NLT. Dive into God's word and allo...

In this episode, we explore how God’s Word becomes the pillar, anchor, and firm foundation our hearts need—especially in the seasons that feel heavy, lonely, or overwhelming. Drawing from Psalm 119:89–96, we’re reminded that God’s truth is unshakable. His Word shines like a light in the darkest places and holds us steady when emotions rise, circumstances shift, and the holidays feel harder than ex...

This episode walks us through the spiritual journey God often leads us on: from the place of remembrance, into the valley, and eventually to the mountaintop. The valley is not a punishment — it is where God plants seeds. He grows faith there, even when we can’t see it. But just like a garden, the weeds must be pulled so the flowers can grow. We have to remove the lies, fear, and old patterns that...

In this powerful episode of Couch Stories, Bailey Chaney shares her incredible journey from addiction and emptiness to freedom and fullness in Christ. Bailey once described her life as being like a chocolate Easter bunny — beautiful on the outside but hollow on the inside. But when she encountered Jesus, everything changed. He took what was broken, filled it with His love, and began a transformati...

In this episode of the Transformation Series, we look at what the Book of James teaches us about real faith — the kind that transforms us from the inside out. Key Takeaway: Most Christians look the same — until it’s time to persevere and have patience. That’s when true faith shows itself. Faith isn’t a one-time belief; it’s a lifelong journey of walking with God. Along that path, we go through fou...

In this episode of Couch Stories, we talk about what it really means to have a faith that is focused more on God than on ourselves. We want all of God… but many times we haven’t truly turned from our old life and given Him all of ourselves. Today’s Couch Story is the story of Stephen, the first martyr for Christ. In Acts 7, Stephen shows us what it looks like to live with kingdom eyes — even in pe...

In this episode, we dive into Philippians 4 and the practice of thankfulness — not just when life is good, but especially when we’re walking through the valley. Scripture tells us to rejoice, to pray, and to give thanks in every situation. That’s not because the circumstance is easy… but because God is faithful. Thankfulness isn’t a feeling — it’s a spiritual discipline that shifts our focus from...

In this episode of our Transformation Series, we dive into the words of Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount — “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.” Are we truly pursuing Jesus the way He calls us to? 💭 We’ll explore what it means to live with a heart that continually asks, seeks, and knocks — not out of striving, but out of desire t...

This episode is personal. Today, I’m sharing about the battlefield in our minds — the place where the enemy loves to plant doubt, fear, and lies that keep us from truly knowing God. We are looking at 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 in the NLT. Dive into God's word and allow Him to transform your mind.  Every stronghold we allow the enemy to build is one more wall between us and deeper intimacy with our Creat...

Hebrews 11, often called the Hall of Faith, reminds us that the heroes of Scripture didn’t live by what they could see — they lived by what they believed. Their eyes were fixed on heaven, not the world around them. Faith isn’t a feeling that comes and goes; it’s a foundation of truth that we stand on. It’s what carries us when emotions waver and circumstances shift. In this episode, we talk about...

Our final episode in the series on hope. Are little choices putting holes in your ship? Are you making the right choices that steer your boat in the right direction? Or are you lost at sea because you've put your hope in something other than Christ? My hope is in the transformation process that occurs when I walk with Jesus daily. My mind is transformed, my decisions are aligned with God's will, I...

This morning, God gently showed me something I didn’t even realize—I’d been living with a performance-based faith. I was striving to do everything “right,” but missing the simple truth that I just need more of Him. In this episode, I share how God met me in that moment and began transforming my mind and heart. It’s not about doing more for Him, it’s about being with Him. When we shift from perform...

When we live by the law, we live in bondage — always striving but never feeling enough. But when we live in Christ, we step into true freedom. Jesus fulfilled the law so we could walk in grace, not guilt. In this episode, we talk about what it means to stop striving for perfection and start living in the freedom that comes through faith in Jesus. You are no longer a slave to rules, religion, or yo...

Hope is the wind in our sails—it moves us forward when life’s seas get rough. Hope isn’t just wishful thinking; it’s the power of the Holy Spirit at work in us. There’s no secret formula to hearing from God or walking in relationship with Him. It’s all because of Jesus. Through Him, we have access to the Father, we receive the Spirit, and we are given a confident hope that anchors our lives.

Life brings storms—some small, some overwhelming—but every day has its waves. In this episode, we’ll talk about why hope in Christ must be our anchor when the winds of worry, fear, and discouragement rise. Hope isn’t wishful thinking; it’s a steady confidence rooted in God’s promises. Just like an anchor keeps a boat from drifting in rough waters, true hope keeps our faith grounded in truth when l...

Hope is more than a passing feeling—it’s a confident belief rooted in truth. In this episode, we’ll talk about what it means to have a right view of God and ourselves in Christ, so that our hope is anchored in His promises rather than shifting emotions. Our faith is like a boat: strong enough to withstand the storms when it’s built on truth, but fragile when riddled with holes of lies and unbelief...

Did you know that you can be a Christian and still give pieces of yourself over to the enemy? Just because we open our bible and pray, doesn't mean we are walking in freedom. Listen to find out how you can walk in freedom and what it means to no longer believe lies or be stuck in bondage.

A raw and real look into what it was like growing up seeing demons and walking in darkness. My story of hope and why saying In Jesus’ Name is so meaningful to me. Jesus did not die on the cross so that you could be kind of set free. Walk in freedom because Christ has set you free.
