Jesus talked about money more than almost any other topic. In this episode, we're getting into why, and what scripture actually says about tithing, generosity, and what it looks like to be genuinely free in your relationship with money. This isn't a prosperity gospel message and it isn't a guilt trip. It's an honest look at what surrender in the area of finances actually costs us. Resources &...

This is episode one of a seven-part series walking through Hebrews 11. Most of us have been saying the word faith our entire lives without actually knowing what it means. Today we're laying the foundation before we get into the specific people and stories in the chapter. Resources mentioned: A Case for a Creator by Lee Strobel (recommended for anyone wanting to go deeper into the evidence for...

Your calling isn't something to chase. It's something to cultivate. In this episode, we're digging into the parable of the talents and what it actually means to be faithful with what God has already placed in your hands, right now, before the bigger thing arrives. We cover: What the parable of the talents is really about (and what we get wrong) Why the third servant was condemned for n...

The way we use our days reveals what we value most. Time is the one resource that cannot be earned back, saved up, or replaced. In this episode, we're talking about what it actually means to steward your time as a God-given assignment, and how understanding your season changes everything. We cover: What Ecclesiastes 3 is actually saying about seasons of life Why numbering your days is wisdom,...

Home is more than a place. It's an atmosphere of peace and presence. In this episode, we're talking about what it actually means to steward your home as a God-given assignment, and why it has nothing to do with having it all together. We cover: Why Proverbs 14:1 is about cultivation, not construction Building the right foundation before the dishes are even done And more. Plus reflection qu...

A lot of Christians treat singleness like a waiting room. But scripture doesn't frame it that way at all. In this episode, we're talking about what it actually means to steward your singleness well, and why this season has a purpose that's worth taking seriously. We cover: What 1 Corinthians 7 actually says about the spiritual advantage of singleness Why fulfillment isn't found in...

Friendship is one of the most influential areas of life, but it's rarely treated like a stewardship assignment. The people around you shape your thinking, your habits, your convictions, and sometimes even your direction in life. In this episode, we're talking about what it actually looks like to steward your friendships well, according to scripture. We cover: Why Proverbs 27:17 ("iron...

Culture treats marriage like a performance evaluation. Scripture treats it like a covenant stewardship. In this episode, we're diving into what the Bible actually says about managing something sacred that doesn't belong to us, it belongs to God. We cover: The theological foundation of marriage in Ephesians 5:21-33 What mutual submission actually means (and what it doesn't) Serving your...

One of the biggest mindset shifts God has given me in motherhood is this: my child is not my possession. He is my assignment. In this episode, I share what it looks like to steward motherhood instead of trying to control it. We talk about discipleship over behavior management, modeling repentance, presence over performance, and remembering that we are stewards, not saviors. If you’ve been carrying...

A lot of us feel productive when we’re exhausted and anxious when we’re still. But rest isn’t weakness. It’s obedience. In this episode, I share my personal struggle with hustle, burnout, chronic illness, and tying my worth to productivity. We talk about what it actually looks like to build rhythms of rest in real life, how to stop overcommitting, and why staying aligned matters more than staying...

When it comes to our bodies, we usually fall into two extremes: idolization or neglect. In this episode, I share my personal journey with chronic illness, eating disorders, body shame, and learning what real biblical stewardship looks like. This is not about chasing aesthetics. It’s about obedience. It’s about capacity. It’s about honoring God with what He’s entrusted to us. If you’ve struggled wi...

Your thoughts and emotions are not outside your spiritual life. They are part of your stewardship. In this episode, I walk through what Scripture says about renewing your mind, handling emotional triggers, and taking thoughts captive instead of letting them run your life. I share from my own experience with thought spirals and emotional overwhelm, plus practical, biblical tools you can start using...

This episode is for the woman who loves God but feels exhausted, rushed, or disconnected and knows something has to shift. In This Episode, We Talk About: Why stewardship falls apart when you’re disconnected from God The context and meaning of John 15:4–5 Why fruit comes from abiding, not effort How burnout often comes from self-reliance, not overcommitment What dependence on God looks like in rea...

Stewardship is not just about what you manage. It is about why you manage it. In this episode, we dig into the heart behind stewardship and why obedience rooted in fear, pressure, or performance will never last. God is not asking for impressive results. He is looking for faithfulness, trust, and a surrendered heart. Here's the blog post: https://meandjesus.life/2026/01/07/biblical-stewardship-...

Matthew 2 shows us a side of the Christmas story we rarely talk about. When Jesus enters the world as the true King, not everyone celebrates. Herod panics. Power feels threatened. And violence follows. In this episode, we walk through the real timeline of the Magi, why Herod reacted the way he did, and how God protected His Son in the middle of darkness. Christmas isn’t a neutral story. It confron...

The Christmas story feels so familiar that we often stop noticing how surprising it really is. Angels lighting up the night sky. Glory filling a quiet field. And the very first people invited to meet the Messiah were not priests or rulers. They were shepherds. In today’s episode, we slow down and ask an important question. Why them? Why would God choose ordinary shepherds as the first witnesses to...

In this episode, I’m kicking off the full stewardship series and sharing why God gave me the word “stewardship” for 2026, how He started preparing me for it months early, and why learning to manage what we already have is one of the most important parts of spiritual growth. This is a raw look at my life, my routines, my failures, and the real work God is doing in me. If you’ve been praying for “mo...

In this episode, we walk through Luke 2:1–7 and look at what Scripture actually says happened at the birth of Christ. We slow down at the details most of us skip, we break down the actual meaning of “no room at the inn,” and we look at first century Jewish culture so we can understand what Luke assumed his original readers already knew. Resources Mentioned The Bible Knowledge Commentary: https://a...

We don’t talk about this enough, but the Christmas story doesn’t begin in Luke 2. Before there was a baby in a manger, there was a problem humanity couldn’t fix. And until we understand that need, the birth of Jesus will always feel smaller than it actually is. In this first episode of our Christmas series, we go all the way back to Genesis to understand why Christmas was necessary in the first pl...

Today we are talking about five completely free tools that can help you study Scripture with more confidence and clarity. These tools never replace the Bible. They simply help you slow down, understand context, and see what is already there. We start with Proverbs 2:3 to 5 and walk through how to use each tool well.

Why does reading the Bible in context matter so much? In this episode, I talk about why verses get misinterpreted when we pull them out of their setting and how understanding the surrounding passage, the history, and the bigger story of Scripture helps us read God’s Word accurately. I walk through examples like Philippians 4:13 and Jeremiah 29:11 and explain what Paul meant when he called us to “r...

We live in a culture that tells us our worth is measured by our reflection. But Scripture tells a different story. In this episode, we talk about what it means to see your body through God’s eyes, why it matters, and how to care for it as an act of worship instead of control. Scripture: Genesis 1:26–27, 1 Corinthians 6:19–20, Psalm 139:14, 1 Timothy 4:8, Romans 12:1–2 Key takeaway: You are not you...
