To Be Heard Podcast

So, you have your resolutions, you've made your bucket list, you're prepared for the best new year ever...as you should be! But, what about the things you aren't ready for? What about the things that happen that you never saw coming? Will you lose your zeal? Will you stop moving forward? Will you instead give up and turn back around? This is exactly what we'll be talking about for the last #ToBeHe...

After praying all the prayers and completing all the fasts, I came to the end of myself in January of 2021. And, it was when I hit the peak of my frustration is when I began asking God the question that was stirring in my heart all along.  "Why do we fast in the first place?!" Low and behold, the answer was found in Isaiah 58, and on today's #ToBeHeardTuesday, I wanted nothing more than to st...

Jesus was the healthiest man on earth. Wouldn't you agree? He walked through everything we talk through and still remained confident, true to Himself, and most importantly, He was humble. After talking about a huge component of a healthy heart on last week's #ToBeHeardTuesday, I'm introducing a topic that can heal every wound and set us all free: Humility. You can't be healthy if you're not humble...

Last week on the podcast, we all heard something that NEEDED to be heard: God created us to be HUMAN BEINGS. Not robots. Not machines. Not zombies. HUMANS.  Which means we feel, we think, we have emotions. That's part of being a healthy individual! But, on today's #ToBeHeardTuesday, I'm taking this conversation a step further by discussing another component we CAN'T miss if we're going to be...

And, that's a wrap for this season's #ToBeHeardTuesdays for the month of November! Crazy how quickly time flies, right!? But, as we close out this month by continuing to move forward in our freedom journey, today, I want to talk about a spirit that sets us FREE! That's right! I'm talking about the Holy Spirit! And, for those of you who feel like your feelings of anger, sadness, grief, heartbrokenn...

Here's what you need to HEAR on today's #ToBeHeardTuesday: If you belong to Christ Jesus, you are FREE from condemnation. You are FREE from accusation. You are NOT guilty.  But, the enemy will try to tell you otherwise...and he will often try to use the spirit of religion to do so.  That is why we are exposing the spirit of religion in plain sight on today's #ToBeHeardTuesday, as I am en...

*CLARIFICATION: When you hear me say "you CAN sin" in today's episode, I mean it in the context of what you have potential to do, not what you have permission to do. Our conversation today will continue in next week's episode. Thank you for listening!* Last week on To Be Heard Podcast, we asked ourselves an important question: Who are we? But, this week? It's time we ask a more important question:...

*At minute 25:00-25:18, specifically at the 7th second, here's what you should've heard: "God just allowed me to explore. And again, when I say explore, I'm talking about exploring ONLY under the lordship of Christ." I don't believe I clarified that when recording, but please use this notation as clarification. Thank you!* Happy, happy #ToBeHeardTuesday, listeners! Are you ready to take the next s...

And, the freedom journey CONTINUES with a brand new #ToBeHeardTuesday! And, for this week's episode? I've got something that NEEDS to be heard... Last week, we talked about childhood wounds—how childhood deeply affects adulthood. Now, this week? We're talking about addiction. Addiction. Sin cycles. That "thing" you feel like you can't get free from. We're going to take a look back at our beginning...

Season 2 of To Be Heard Podcast is a WRAP! But, before we end, I've got to get one final word in that NEEDS to be heard. I've said from the beginning that my goal for this season was for you to hear that you're loved by Jesus in EVERY #ToBeHeardTuesday you tune into. Well, in the last episode of the season, I want to share with you the main reason why that was on my heart as much as it was. I hope...

If you want to be an influencer, you NEED to hear today's #ToBeHeardTuesday.

For those of you who might have some unanswered questions about “the grace of God,” I’ll be honest with you...for a long time, I did too! But, this #ToBeHeardTuesday is dedicated to clarify what the grace of God is, what the grace of God isn’t, and who it’s available for. And, in a culture that would prefer to accept truth only if it’s compromised in some gray area, I think it’s only appropriate t...

Lucky for you, I'm giving you the answer to this question and more on this first #ToBeHeardTuesday o...

As part two of the “Standing Firm” series—studying Ephesians 6:10-17–we are taking a closer look at an essential piece of God’s armor found in verse 15, that being, of course, the shoes of peace.
