The Me and Jesus Podcast

In this episode, I’m sharing a replay of an Instagram Live where I dive into a 30-day challenge I’ve started to help refocus my priorities and put God back where He belongs—in first place. From recognizing everyday idolatry to building Holy Girl Habits, we’re talking about what it looks like to make God a priority in the chaos of daily life. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: When Good Things Becom...

In this episode, we dive into John 3:30—"He must increase, but I must decrease." It's a verse that challenges us to check our egos and priorities in our walk with Christ. I’ll be sharing my personal struggle with pride and how God continues to remind me that it’s all about Him, not me. We’ll look at John the Baptist’s example and discuss how we can shift our focus from seeking our ow...

In this episode, we dive into the incredible story of Jesus healing the paralyzed man at the pools of Bethesda, found in John 5:1-17. These pools were a gathering place for the sick and disabled, all seeking healing. The name "Bethesda" means “house of mercy,” which reflects the deep need for healing beyond the physical. The Mercy of Jesus: This story is a powerful reminder of how Jesus...

In this episode, we dive into the story of Jesus of Nazareth and how His humble beginnings and messy lineage show us that greatness can come from the most unexpected places. Episode Highlights: Nazareth’s Reputation : Nazareth wasn’t just a small, insignificant town—it was a place of disdain. People looked down on it, and being called “Jesus of Nazareth” was meant as an insult. John 1:43-46 : We e...

Humility—it's a word we hear often but can be tough to live out, especially in a world where personal development and success are so highly valued. In this episode, I open up about my personal struggle with staying humble while pursuing my calling. We’ll explore the story of John the Baptist from John 1:19-28 and how he consistently pointed others to Christ, despite the impact of his ministry....

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into John 4:1-45 and exploring the powerful interaction between Jesus and the Samaritan woman.

Key Takeaways: Jesus broke cultural norms and showed His love by engaging the Samaritan woman, caring fo...

This passage reveals profound insights into Jesus' character and the transformative power of our testimonies.

In today’s episode, I’m diving into a story that hits close to home—the encounter between Jesus and the woman at the well in John 4:1-45. Like this Samaritan woman, I’ve had my defenses up, ready to fight and protect myself. But Jesus, in all His grace and wisdom, wasn’t fazed by her walls or her attitude. Instead, He showed a profound love and kindness that transformed her life, and it’s a lesson...

It's something I've struggled with my whole life—anger at people, the world, myself, and even at God. Today, I'm sharing my journey with anger, how it complicated my relationship with God, and how I learned to navigate those emoti...

When we first get saved, it’s a selfish decision. We see what Jesus has done in our lives and we want to see God do more. We want to spend eternity with Him not only because it’s such an amazing opportunity but because the alternative is horrendous. But when we move from Salvation into following Jesus, it becomes less about us and more about Him, as it should be. But as we are seeking Jesus in our...

When it feels like life is falling apart, it becomes easy to take our eyes off of Jesus. It feels as if He’s so far away and you begin to question if He’s ever coming back. Things begin to feel hopeless and you’re ready to give up. I’ve been there. I’m going to be honest, at the time of writing this, I am there. This season of life has been a struggle and honestly I don’t know how to keep up on it...

Turning water into wine. This is one of those miracles we hear about in passing. We talk about how Jesus performed this miracle and how wonderful it is. But it didn’t really connect until I heard my pastor preach on it. Something about it just grabbed me by my soul and I needed to dive deeper. One of the greatest things about the Word is that there’s always more to learn, always more revelations,...

You could be right, but if Jesus ain’t in it, you’re wrong. This is something that has been playing in my head on repeat for months. I’ve shared openly about how I’ve struggled with my ego and what God has done in me. But man. I didn’t realize just how much I still struggle with being right for the sake of being right.

I grew up in church so I’ve heard almost all of the stories. One of them that I knew by heart was when Jesus feeds the 5000 (which is actually only the men counted, so it was closer to 20,000). In case you haven’t read it, it’s John 6:1-15. Pause on reading this, go read that, and then come back.

Today we're talking about lust. Something that is over talked about but often miscommunicated in the Church. This is NOT for little ears - so be sure to put your earbuds on! In this deeply personal and candid episode, I dive into Matthew 5:27-30, discussing the challenging topic of lust. I emphasize the importance of personal Bible study and prayer, encouraging you not to take my word for it b...

We’re going to explore what it really means to be a light in a world full of darkness. From understanding the historical context of light in Hebrew culture to reflecting on our personal call to shine brightly, this episode is packed with insights and conviction. We’ll talk about how we can sometimes become desensitized to our role as the light and how to reignite that fire within us. I also share...

In this episode, we’re discussing the parable of building your house on the rock versus the sand (Matthew 7:24-27). This timeless story holds valuable lessons about the importance of having a solid foundation in our lives, especially when the storms of life come crashing down.

In today's episode, I want to take you all the way back to Jesus's birth story—the Christmas story we know and love. But I want to hone in on the wise men, the ones who brought the three gifts. Though we think there were three, we actually don't know that for sure. We'll dive into who these men actually were and why their story is so significant. Key Points: Who Were the Wise Men?...

In this episode, I get real about the importance of approaching God with genuine intention. I share a personal story about feeling convicted to change how I was spending time with God.
