What if sin was never meant to define who you are? In this episode of Revergent , we return to the original meaning of sin by tracing the word through English etymology, Hebrew scripture, and ancient imagery. Rather than moral failure or identity-based guilt, sin is revealed as misalignment — distance from design, not loss of worth. We explore: How modern religious language turned sin into an iden...

What if the words that shape faith have drifted from their original meaning? Revergent is a series that returns to ancient language, biblical context, and embodied understanding to recover what familiar religious words once meant — before they became loaded with fear, shame, or abstraction. Each episode takes a single word — like sin, love, fear, repent, or father — and traces it back through Scri...

Have you ever asked yourself "why do people die?" I asked this very question and in this episode I share what God told me that has shifted my perspective towards excitement and anticipation in the ultimate human experience!

This episode I share a dream and the lesson hidden within it! There is always a way of escape with the Lord!

Repent! We are called to repent in the word of God, but do we even know what that means or how to do it? I have found that repentance has to do with the biggest battle out there- The battle over our mind & how we think. Join me as I share some insight into this topic!

The first thing to do when being a witness or giving a testimony is to be sure you were there! You had first hand experience in what it is you are talking about! It is your personal record and account of something. As we share what God has done and is doing through real life events that we have lived through ourself we are perpetuating the glory to glory living & iron sharpening iron community...

In Genesis 1 We know Elohim says “let there be light” this was spoken in the midst of tohu-bohu which was "formless and void” It was empty like a box and God wanted to fill it with his desire and his desire was humanity. Light is meant to bring order and restore us all to our original intended design. His light will call us back to who we really are.

I share my experience of the transformative power of encountering the love of the Heavenly Father after a lifetime of living as an orphan.  I hope my testimony serves as a beacon of hope for those who may have experienced feelings of abandonment, rejection and being misunderstood. To know that you are never alone and you truly are fully known will set your mind and heart at ease.

2024 is the year of the open door and we need to be prepared for the good and bad that will come through this open door. 80/20 is a ratio God put on my heart for this new year that I can testify to as a legit way of being ready for what is coming in our way this new year. It's time to position ourselves with open hands to receive what is being poured out in provisions, revelation, and warnings...

In this episode, I share a simple dream with major significance in navigating our path into this new year! I want to urge you to hold onto what truly matters. It is important for us to fight for what God has gifted us and have the tenacity to refuse to settle for anything less. The spirit of this world can sometimes tempt us with alluring distractions, but now is the time to stand firm and not giv...

This episode is a fresh look at the word deliver. So many times we might assume that if we are left in a situation after calling out for "God to deliver us" we might feel like we are not seen or heard, BUT my friends there is more to be delivered can also mean to not be drawn out or away from a circumstance or situation but to actually draw a weapon in the midst of it! Let's GO!

Do we really live a life of Trust?

The All Mighty God humbled himself to the point where he restrained a part of himself to leave room for creation and to allow himself to have a void that desired to be filled. He filled it with You and he filled it with me, AMAZING!

#Godisgood is everywhere- we say it in passing and print it on T-shirts, but do we know what it means? I share a deeper meaning and that helped me step out of another cliche and into a fresh view of what GOOD is. God's Goodness is not dependent on our behavior. Nerdy notes: https://www.blueletterbible.org and https://www.studylight.org

Hear THE gnarliest demonic encounter that rocked me. I am dig into if we are really living "the abundant life" Jesus said he came to give us? Do we realize abundance has a radical definition that includes regenerated life, health and vitality among other things. Nerdy Notes: Hebrew Word for Life related to John 10:10  2421  ‑ חָיָה (khaw‑yaw')

Ever wonder about what the will of God is? This episode has some nerdy notes :) In Romans 12:2 The greek word for Acceptable is euarestos which has roots in Airo. The greek word for Will is thelēma  which has roots in hairetikos  which is the same as hairetizō  derived from haireō  akin to Airo. aírō, ah'-ee-ro; a primary root; to lift up; by implication, to take up or away; figuratively, to r...

If you weren't too offended by part 1, I continue with a few more topics like these: Is God needed to run church? Where did the structure of church come from? What is future church? The old way is done-we are headed into the unknown with The Holy Spirit as our ultimate guide!

Do we realize that of all things Jesus did not come here to start a religion? The "religious" were the very ones that Jesus spoke harshly towards. So why is Jesus so associated with religion and why is church synonymous with being a christian? This episode is the start of my food for thought on church.
