Many people ask how to “incorporate faith into business,” but in this episode, Sam shares a foundational truth: we don’t add faith to our work, we bring our work into our faith.

You’ll hear re...

In this episode, Sam shares how striving to earn God’s love misses the beauty of His unearned grace. She also reminds listeners that our view of God is often shaped by our earthly fathers, but God is not a bigger version o...

But Scripture shows us a different way. In this episode, Sam unpacks why self-help is no help at all, and why self-sacrifice, through humility and obedience, is the way of Christ. The Christian life is about emptying ourselves so that...

Series: Unlearning Self-Help — 5 Lies and the Truth That Sets You Free ⸻ Hustle culture says your worth is tied to how much you produce.

In this episode Sam talks about leadership from both sides of it, how we lead others as well as how we respond to the leaders in our lives. She emphasizes the importance of how we receive feedback and where we get our self worth. Referenced scripture Colossians 3:23 1 John 4-7 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Joshua 1:9

1 Corinthians 13:8 is my verse for today and what a great and very popular chapter of the Bible this is! I love that Paul not only lists out what love is, but he also makes note of what love isn’t…and that’s what resonated with me today.

Season 3 Episode 1 (new year, new season!) is inspired by Deuteronomy 31:6 and the many times in the Bible that God says to be strong. Be strong. He makes it sound so easy. But if we are being honest, most of the time we do not feel strong. Here’s the good news, you don’t have to feel strong to be strong…listen to this episode to find out why.

In Like chapters 5-7 Jesus begins public miracles and public teaching. He chooses his disciples, catches fish, heals the ill and even raises a life.
