In this episode of Momming with Jesus, we’re diving into the pursuit of holiness and what it truly means to be set apart for God in a world that constantly pressures us to blend in.

In this episode, we dive into Luke 11 and the powerful truth behind “Ask, Seek, Knock.” This isn’t about cute, casual prayers.

We explore the tension between desire and discipline, the struggle between spirit and f...

In a culture driven by feelings, convenience, and self-satisfaction, commitment has quietly become rare.
