Within Reason Podcast

Today we will be talking about, the people in your circle. Join me on this conversation.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a powerful letter from one of our listeners—one that many of you may relate to, understand deeply, or even see as an unexpected eye-opener. This message holds pieces of honesty, hurt, hope, and the kind of vulnerability that reminds us we’re not walking through our seasons alone. To the listener who trusted me with these words: thank you. Thank you for opening your...

Every story of betrayal starts with a choice. Sometimes it’s a moment — a text, a touch, a lapse that feels small until it explodes. And sometimes it’s something darker… something slower… something that grows in the quiet corners of secrecy. Welcome to the space where we unravel the difference. Because cheating and an affair are not the same chapter — one is a spark, and the other is a fire that b...

Welcome back to Grits Meets Grace — where real life and real faith come to the same table. I’m your host, and today we’re talking about something that makes a lot of us uncomfortable… silence. Silence can be good — the peace we crave in a noisy world. It can be bad — when it feels like God’s gone quiet or people don’t understand our pain. And it can get ugly — when we fill the quiet with fear, ass...

Today, we’re talking about patience — that quiet strength we all think we have… until life decides to test it. Patience shows up in the waiting, in the not-yet, and in the moments when nothing seems to be moving but us. It’s not just about sitting still — it’s about trusting that time is doing its work, even when we can’t see it. So take a deep breath. Whether you’re waiting for clarity, healing,...

Hey everyone, welcome back — or welcome in if you’re tuning in for the first time. Today’s episode is one that’s really close to my heart. We talk a lot about women’s healing, about strength, about love — but today, I want to take a moment to talk about the men. Because men need love too. They need support. They need a safe place to heal. Too often, men are taught to carry the world on their shoul...

“Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: “but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” ‭‭How many times have you been lots wife? How long have you held on to what you’ve been shown time and time again isn’t for you?...

**Forgiving What You Can’t Forget** Forgiveness isn’t about forgetting the pain — it’s about choosing faith over bitterness. When the memories linger and the wounds still ache, trust that God can heal what feels too deep for you to reach. *“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”* — 1 Peter 5:7 Through faith, God gives us the strength to release what weighs us down. Forgiveness is...

We’re diving into a powerful question that can shift the course of your relationships and your walk with God: *Are you truly repentant, or just remorseful?* It's easy to feel bad after a mistake—to cry, apologize, and express guilt. But if nothing changes, if the behavior continues, was it really repentance—or just emotion? Remorse feels, but repentance transforms. So ask yourself: Is my sorrow le...

Role with me, just a rainy day talk session..

Today, we’re talking about something our souls crave but the world often misunderstands—true love. Not the kind built on conditions or feelings, but the kind that starts with God. Because real love begins in Him—it’s patient, sacrificial, and unwavering. And to truly know that love, we have to do something bold: surrender. Let go of control, let go of fear, and trust that the One who created us al...

This week I’ve received a word that I’ve questioned over and over again. What if what you want isn’t what God wants for you? The story of Jacob, Leah and Rachel will be discussed. My personal relevance to it as well. Let’s jump in..

At a certain point when we’ve taken too much we reach a point of exhaustion, we need peace, we need peace, we need separation. Let’s talk about it.

The **Refiner’s fire** is a powerful image of how God uses trials and pain to **purify and strengthen** us. Just as a metalworker uses intense heat to burn away impurities from gold or silver, God allows us to walk through difficult seasons—not to destroy us, but to **refine us**. In the fire, our pride, fear, and false comforts are stripped away, revealing a deeper faith and a more authentic char...

Red flags are warning signs that can indicate potential problems in various areas of life. We often miss red flags in relationships because of psychological factors like wanting the relationship to work, denial, low self-esteem, a desire to overlook flaws, being blinded by initial attraction, or simply not recognizing unhealthy behaviors as red flags, leading individuals to rationalize or minimize...

Intro to season 4- Going into 2025 refreshed and rest e for more stretching with God at my center I’m going to just catch you up on where I’m at.

Part 2 If you were to ask anyone why do generations fail: the answer would look like : Relationships often fail due to a combination of factors like poor communication, lack of trust, incompatibility, differing priorities, lack of respect, inadequate intimacy, financial issues, personal insecurities, and sometimes, unresolved past traumas; essentially, when partners struggle to meet each other's n...

Are You Missing the Signs from God? Have you ever wondered if God is trying to speak to you but aren’t sure how to recognize His voice? In this episode, we dive deep into the ways God communicates with us—through scripture, circumstances, people, and even that quiet nudge in your spirit. We’ll explore questions like: *What do signs from God look like? How do I know if it's truly Him or just coinci...

Surrendering to the art of letting go is a transformative journey that invites us to release what no longer serves us, whether it's unfulfilling relationships, outdated beliefs, or lingering regrets. Embracing this process reveals a profound beauty in moving on, as it creates space for new opportunities and growth. Each release is an act of courage, allowing us to reclaim our energy and focus on w...

In this episode, we explore and talk about relationships in today's society, from what is needed for them to thrive, to the issues that stem from your upbringing to what we see in society. We tackle everything.

Letting go and surrendering to God involves trusting in God's plan for your life, even when the future is uncertain. It means relinquishing your own wants, rights, and expectations, and relying on God's power.

Isaiah 41:10 is one of my favorite verses and through everything I’ve been through God has kept his promise. In this episode understanding that God has you once you give in and let it so go. Remove the control, get rid of the independence and embrace community. His character, wisdom and his love is waiting on you.

Let’s talk about healing and rebuilding, the stages, difficulty and outdone.

Narcissism as a word has become so popular, seen however I believe we bypass it. We analyze some of the symptoms in the ones we love and that’s about it. The effects of narcissism can carry a very long way. Let’s talk about it.
