One of the constant realities faced in this life is change. As things change, we tend to find ourselves in the difficult period of adjusting, shifting expectations, and figuring out how to navigate the new space we are in. The seasons we go through are natural, but can sometimes be brutal. God is present in all seasons, but it doesn’t always feel that way. I hope this episode gives you permission...

In this episode, we talk about anxiety and how we can present our anxious thoughts to the Lord without shame. Anxiety often leaves us grasping for anything and everything that can ease the tension.

I pray this episode blesses you and your walk with the Lord...

Spiritual maturity is a lot more than head knowledge and quoting scripture. To be mature in the faith is to display the nature of God. As we grow in our walk, our every day experiences shape us into the likeness of the Creator. Join us as we talk about what spiritual maturity looks like, and how important it is to cultivate this in our walks with the Lord. Links: Subscribe to my other YouTube Chan...

This week, we discuss the cost of discipleship by looking at the book of Luke. Following Jesus comes with peace in the storm, a renewed mind, healing from the things that keep us bound, but it also comes with sacrifice. Following Jesus will cost us some things, but it is nothing compared to the eternal weight of glory we are to receive in Christ. Links: Subscribe to my other YouTube Channel: https...

It is one of the most relieving things to know that God looks at the heart and not merely outward appearance and actions. It is also equally convicting that God looks at the heart and not merely outward appearance and actions. Motive and intention are incredibly important because they reveal a truth about the state of our heart. In this episode we unpack some examples of just how true this is.

We live in a world where due to the brokenness of humanity, we experience hurt and pain that can feel unbearable. It can make us feel alone. Misunderstood. Trapped, as though no one understands. That may be true in some cases, but what’s also true is that Jesus understands you in your pain. He knows what it’s like to go through anguish and still keep pressing forward. To have good motives and be a...

In this episode, we talk about what it means to abide in Christ. The Lord is not looking for perfect people. Our inability to please God apart from Christ proves it. What the Lord is looking for are those who will respond to His grace by returning to Him to walk in His ways. I hope this episode encourages you to continue abiding in Christ this year, no matter what you face. In Jesus name, amen.

Have you ever found yourself asking, “God, why is this happening?” You’ve done everything “right,” but things still fell apart. You trusted, you prayed, and still—disappointment followed. In this episode, we talk about the painful seasons when God feels distant, and life doesn’t make sense. As well as how God is present through it all, and that there is purpose in the pain

Have you ever wondered why God through certain things? Sometimes it’s hard to comprehend why a GOOD GOD would let BAD THINGS happen in the name of, “His glory being shown.” In this episode, we talk about how we can see suffering from a perspective that reshapes how we see God, ourselves, and even our circumstances.

Faith in uncertainty is like walking in the dark. Not knowing where exactly you’re going, but following the voice that calls you forward. I hope this episode brings some comfort and encouragement in your time of uncertainty, and that God meets you exactly where you are.

In our walk with God, we are continually being sanctified. Whether in a season of great joy, or great suffering, the Lord is processing us for a greater purpose. It is His will that we be sanctified and be able to mature in the faith. At the same time, this also requires much deeper dependence on Him. At first, it may seem confusing that we are expected to grow and mature, but simultaneously be ev...

In a world quick to judge and slow to forgive, it's easy to assume that God shares the same mindset. In this episode, we explore the powerful truth that God is not angry with you—He is patient, loving, and full of mercy. Whether you're feeling far from Him or struggling with shame, this message will remind you that His kindness leads us to transformation, not fear.

Whether you're just stepping into worship ministry or you've been leading for years, there are always lessons we wish we'd learned sooner.

If you're a worship leader, worship team member, or just curious about what it really takes to lead people in worship, this episode...

In this episode, we dive into what it means to walk in repentance—not just as a one-time act, but as a daily commitment. "Keeping With Repentance" shows how small, consistent victories strengthen our faith. Renewing our minds, and aligning our hearts to continually please God. Whether you’re struggling, starting over, or just needing encouragement, this episode reminds us that every step matters,...

In this episode, I talk about the struggle of pornography. How it holds us back from experiencing true freedom and intimacy with the Lord. My journey is one that is still continuing, but I offer some steps to recovery that I have found helpful on this journey.

What if success isn’t about the results, but about your response to God’s voice? In this episode, we explore the power of choosing obedience even when the outcome is uncertain or disappointing.
