At the Women Ignite Success Summit 2025 in Kingston, Jamaica, I was so honored to share what God had been doing in my life during that season.

In this week’s episode, I felt led to share from my heart about one of the greatest callings and challenges God has given me, parenting. With my kids starting a brand-new school year, I found myself wrestling with questions we all ask as parents: Have I done enough? Am I discipling them well? Am I pointing them to Jesus in the way I should? In the middle of that anxiety, God reminded me that He lo...

Hey Fam! This week’s episode is one I’ve been sitting with for a while, because it’s straight from something God has been working on in my own heart, learning to bring everything to His feet. If you’ve ever found yourself running around doing all the things for God but feeling distant from Him, you’re not alone. I’ve been there, serving, pouring out, checking every box, and still missing that clos...

Hey Guys! This week’s episode is extra close to my heart because I’m joined by someone I know y’all are going to love hearing from — Jordan is on the couch with me! What started as just working together has turned into something so much deeper — she’s truly become family. Our story is one of grief, friendship, discipleship, and the kind of connection that only comes when God brings two people toge...

“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” - Luke 9:23 In this episode, I’m diving into something the Lord has been pressing on my heart: Jesus didn’t call us to comfort, he called us to carry a cross. I share a story that started off as a fun little birthday bike ride… and turned into a full-blown sermon from the Holy Spirit. What I thought...

This week I sat down with Norris Johnson III and we talked about what it really looks like to serve God when you’re spiritually empty, and how the Acts 2:42 conference became a turning point for him, a moment where the Lord met him in the middle of burnout and reignited the fire he thought he’d lost. As we unpacked his journey, we dug deep into what it means to die to self and to truly walk in son...

Hey fam! In this week's episode, I’m diving into one of the most meaningful parables to me, the story of the Prodigal Son. Lately, I’ve been studying Luke 15 and reading through The Prodigal God by Timothy Keller with my Village community on Patreon & the Lord has been showing me how easy is is to either run from Him or try to earn His love, and how both can lead us far from the Father’s heart...

This episode is one of the most honest ones I’ve shared. Over the past month, I’ve felt the weight of the Lord’s discipline, and not in a way that pushed me away, but in a way that pulled me back to truth. I was in a rut. I was complaining, easily offended, and frustrated with God,but what He showed me was deeper than my emotions. He showed me that I had stopped guarding my heart (Proverbs 4:23),...

My friend, Hayley Mulenda & I sit down to unpack what God’s been teaching both of us-- discomfort is a discipline, and avoiding it might be the very thing holding us back from intimacy with him.  Today, we live in a world where everything is designed for speed and convenience. Amazon delivers in hours, food shows up at our door, and even spirituality seems available at the click of a...

The past several weeks have been a lot! Multiple car accidents (yes, including a deer collision), parenting chaos and disappointments that hit me hard. I found myself frustrated, exhausted, and honestly asking God: “Why is this happening?” But in the middle of the mess, the Lord impressed something powerful on my heart: “I’m not trying to destroy you. I’m trying to weaken you.” If this episod...
