In this episode, we dive into a question many believers wrestle with: Why is it so hard to follow God? The Christian walk isn't always easy—it requires sacrifice, surrender, and trust, even when our feelings pull us in the opposite direction. We talk honestly about the real struggles of following Jesus in a world that encourages the exact opposite. Whether you're new to the faith or have...

Your foundation determines your destination. In this episode, we dive deep into the question that weighs on every heart: What is my purpose? True purpose isn’t found in fleeting pleasures or personal ambition—it’s discovered in God’s plan for our lives, a plan designed to glorify Him.

In this episode, we delve into how people are seeking "love" in all the wrong places and why many are struggling to understand its true meaning. We explore how the lack of spiritual connection and understanding of God is leading...

I know some people might think that Jesus created a religion which would be called Christianity, but Jesus never intended to create a religion. His purpose was for us to create a relationship with Him. I know it sounds weird but there is actually many differences between the two. Even looking at the interactions with Jesus and the Pharisees, you can tell of the differences of the two fairly easy....

Stop dwelling in the past! One thing I have to constantly tell myself is that I can't change the past no matter what I do, but I can change my now. Learn from the past/failure and get back even stronger than before. God did not just decide to leave you here and that's it. He has plans for you and a purpose. We have to continually seek Him in everything we do. You guys got this! God is wi...

When we think about strength, we often think of a bodybuilder that lifts extremely weight. The strength that we are discussing about is your spiritual strength. Which means when times are tough, when things don't go the way you expect, or when you feel down where do you go? Do we go back into our habitual sin? We have to put in the reps just like a bodybuilder in order to get stronger. We hav...

Why does my flesh always cause destruction? No matter what we do if we do what our flesh tells us to do then it reap destruction. "Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit."-Galatians 6:8. Stop trying to be of this world because this wo...

Porn is designed to pervert the mind and destroy the perfect gift of sex that God gave us.  This topic has definitely been on my mind lately and I wanted another individual who has gone through something similar to me to share their opinion on the matter of porn. That is why I brought our second guest Ramseen Youkhana! We shared a lot of wisdom throughout this entire episode and I know that you gu...

Are you prioritizing the right things in life? Do you feel like that you should be prioritizing other things that you aren't doing? Whatever it is we all have priorities that we need to get done, but sometimes choose not to. I remembered seeing this quote that Alex Hormozi said, "The reason you’re stressed is you have decisions to make – and you’re not making them." This quote has d...

Where can someone find peace in this chaotic world? Simple answer Jesus. Even Jesus said it in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." This world is going to constantly try to take your peace away and make you feel overwhelmed, stressed, depressed, etc. The one that can give us peace is JESUS because He knows exactly what we are going th...

Joy is such a small word but, it is super important in our lives. Every moment that we do not receive the joy that God gives us, is the time the enemy will try to rob you of that joy and install fear/sadness by reminding us of our failures in life. Just like what it says in John 16:33, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take he...

We can all think of a time where it was hard to love someone the way Jesus intends us to love others. The only we can learn this trait is by simply being in Gods word and praying without ceasing because our flesh wants us to burst in anger, swear at the other person, or cause harm to another person. That isn't the way God tells us to love someone. We must not give into our sinful/fleshly desi...

This episode we go over how should one pray as Jesus tells us to do in scripture. Many times we often overthink "how should I pray" and simply God is wanting us to tell Him what is going on. I know that God can see everything, but He still wants to listen to you. Whether you are apologizing about maybe being prideful in a situation, not doing your reading/praying, or even just not simply...

Have you ever felt that God is not with you? We can assure you that God is always with you no matter what you are going through. Even in Psalms 139, King David is saying that even if we hide in the darkness that God is with us. Don't believe in the lies of the enemy because the enemies plans are to kill, steal and destroy. Remember that God is not based upon feeling Him in worship music, pray...

God nor the devil can control you. Simple as that. The reason I say this is because many times we think God controls everything, but He doesn't because at the beginning when He created Adam and Eve, He gave the free will of choice. He just told them not to eat from a certain tree, but God did not force them to go eat from that tree. It was on our way decision to eat from tree. Nobody has us o...

This episode we discussed about how to set boundaries in a relationship because in scripture it states that in Proverbs 25:28 " a person without self-control is like a city with broken down walls." Now I don't think anyone would want to be a city with broken down walls right? The reason for boundaries is to respect one another and the relationship that you are in. I know it is not g...

Hey everyone!  We hope you guys enjoyed the last episode and that if you haven't already to check out the previous episode! This episode we talked about how we go about difficulties in our relationship such as arguments and basically how we learned from that to make us have a better relationship. Trust me our relationship is completely different, but it is where the foundation of your relatio...

In past episodes we have always talked about individual journeys between Raquel and I, but this episode we decided to talk more about how to incorporate God within our relationship. There's many different ways to have God in a relationship. In this episode we talk about how we personally bring God in our relationship and how having God in any relationship is extremely important. We also talke...

How does Jiu-Jitsu even correlate with Faith? Well I was able to talk about this with my instructor and realized that actually combining both of them creates a better life. My instructor and I talked about three different areas where Faith and Jiu-Jitsu actually tie into one another such as discipline, training, and community. We both realized that there are actually more ways that these correlate...

What are the reasons why you do you not want to fully pursue God? Is it because you don't feel worthy enough, too hard, too busy, or maybe even the people around you are not supportive of you. There can be countless reasons why people do not want to pursue God, but are you going to be that person that gives up? No matter how hard it is the reward at the end will be worth it because we will re...

The short answer to this question is YES. Often times we might feel disconnected from God or that God is not there in our lives. What prayer is meant for is the ability to connect with God at any given moment. Whenever we feel that we are disconnected or that God does not truly care for us that's exactly how the enemy wants you to feel since the enemy does not want us to have a relationship w...
