what i have, i give

"Lord, I pray that I do not go unnamed in Your story." That simple prayer became the burden behind this episode. When we think about God's purpose, we often assume the greatest danger is failing altogether. But what if the greater tragedy is missing the very opportunities God places before us? What if His plans move forward—as they always will—but someone else steps into the assignme...

Waiting can feel like one of the hardest parts of the faith journey. Whether you're waiting for an answered prayer, a new opportunity, healing, direction, or simply a sense of movement, the space between where you are and where you hope to be can often feel frustrating and uncertain. But what if waiting was never meant to be passive? In this episode, we explore the rich biblical meaning behind...

This episode is a little different from the usual as I share a side of my story that not many people know — I was once an Olympic-trained track athlete. In this episode, I talk about my background in sprinting, training with Olympic athletes, and what eventually shifted me away from the sport. I also share what it was like years later transitioning from sprinting into long-distance running and the...

This week's episode was unplanned and unexpected. It was just me and my friend Kat in the car having a real conversation and at some point we decided to hit record. It started with a book the Holy Spirit prompted me to pull off my shelf during prayer —  Well Done! Good and Faithful Servant  — and turned into a conversation that kept going. Here's what we got into: Spiritually unemployed.  What it...

In In this episode, I reflect on the story behind the hymn, What a Friend We Have in Jesus, and why its message still resonates so deeply today. We talk about grief, prayer, loneliness, and the comfort that comes from bringing our burdens honestly before God instead of carrying them alone. I share the story of Joseph Scriven, the man who wrote the hymn, and how personal loss and heartbreak shaped...

"I am not a pastor, I am not a theologian... at this point, I’m just a woman that God wants to give through." In this debut episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the messy, beautiful process of saying "yes" to a divine calling. For a long time, I felt a heavy pull toward this podcast—a pull I tried to run away from because I didn't feel qualified or "ready" to speak. Through dreams, prayers, an...

This episode reflects on the story of Job and the difference between knowing about God and knowing Him personally. Job was upright, disciplined, and faithful, but his suffering revealed a deeper invitation. Beneath the loss was not punishment, but pursuit. God was drawing Job beyond religion and into relationship. We explore the uncomfortable truth that sometimes God allows stripping of comfort, s...

The meaning of the word “double -mindedness” means to have varying or opposing views at different times. This is a Biblical term. Why is it relevant to loyalty? Because the Bible says that’s to be double-minded is to be divided between the things of God or the world. This episode discusses instances in which we find ourselves so easily torn between what we know and what we wish we didn’t.

On this episode, we are discussing how God feels when we only go to Him with our problems and not for His fellowship. I believe God wants to speak to us and converse with us every time we talk to Him. He wants a genuine relationship that’s not one-sided but sometimes we act as if our relationship with God is one-directional. Listen to this episode to hear how I compare conversations with a loved o...

I realized that discouragement comes from a place of dwelling in the past or worrying about the future… I believe in every season of our lives, God wants us to know that we are exactly where HE wants us to be, but when we focus only the things we want and place we wished we were, we will hurt ourselves and become disappointed. In this episode, I speak about how discouragement has influenced my abs...

Do you trust God when His answer is, wait? Many of us are believing in God for something in our lives right now. It may be a marriage, a child, a new job, financial freedom, or physical healing, but it feels like God is radio silent. It feels like He’s not hearing us or He’s not listening, but that is not the God that I know. Sometimes when God says nothing at all, it’s because He wants us to WAIT...

People always talk about 'pouring from a cup that is 'full', but what about being able to pour from a cup that is OVERFLOWING? That is my desire for myself and for everyone. I believe when we practice self-care and self-love, we become closer to being able to become so 'full' that we have more than enough to give others (and ourselves). Unfortunately, many of us do not prioritize self-care and tha...
