Your Morning Cup of Tea

Sometimes “strong” becomes our default setting and our disguise. We carry everyone else’s needs, hold it all together, and silently break under the weight of it. In this first episode of our new series, The Things We Don’t Say, I invite us all to lay it all down and rest mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Drawing from Matthew 11:28, Jesus reminds is that He doesn’t ask us to perform or persev...

Shame is one of the enemy’s favorite weapons, but it has no power over a daughter of God. In this series finale of Unmuted: Finding Your Voice Again, we explore the lives of Rahab, Deborah, Priscilla, and Philip’s daughters, women who refused to hide in silence. Their voices carried courage, boldness, and truth, reminding us that we, too, are called to live unmuted and unashamed. Get full access t...

Your voice carries weight in the presence of God. From Hannah’s raw prayer to Mary’s costly worship, from the Canaanite woman’s persistence to the women’s testimony at the tomb, scripture shows us that when women lift their voices, heaven responds. In this week’s episode of Unmuted: Finding Your Voice Again, discover how your prayer, praise, and testimony can shake heaven and shift earth. Get full...

“So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.” —John 8:36 (NLT) Freedom has a sound. It’s in your laughter after years of sorrow, your prayer after long silence, your testimony after shame. In this week’s episode of Unmuted: Finding Your Voice Again, we’ll explore the stories of women like Hannah, Mary, the bent-over woman, and the woman with the issue of blood, women who show us that when Jes...

“God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important..” 1 Corinthians 1:28 (NLT) God has always used the voices the world tried to silence. From Vashti’s courageous “no” to the daughters of Zelophehad’s bold petition, from Anna’s faithful prayers to the Shunammite woman’s declaration of faith, scripture remi...

For too long, too many women have been living muted, silenced by shame, fear, or other people’s opinions. But God is calling you to reclaim your voice. In this kickoff episode of Unmuted: Finding Your Voice Again, we ask this question inspired by Genesis 3:11: “Who told you to be quiet?” Sis, your voice matters, and this month we’re learning how to use it boldly for God’s glory. Get full access to...

“And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true.” Revelation 21:5 We often think of a reset as simply starting over. But with God, a reset is never just about trying again. It’s about resurrection . In this bonus Week 5 episode of When God Hits Reset, we’ll take another look at women...

“But the jar he was making did not turn out as he had hoped, so he crushed it into a lump of clay again and started over.” Jeremiah 18:4 Sometimes life leaves us holding nothing but broken pieces, and it’s tempting to believe they can’t be used for anything good. But Jeremiah 18:4 reminds us that God is the potter, and He never throws the clay away. In this episode of When God Hits Reset, we’ll lo...

“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.” —Romans 8:28 (NLT) Just because God hits the reset button doesn’t mean He’s done with you. In this week’s episode of our August series, When God Hits Reset, we’re unpacking the truth that closed doors, sudden changes, and unexpected “no’s” are often God’s w...

What if the only thing standing between you and your next breakthrough is your fear of starting before it’s perfect? In this week’s episode of “When God Hits Reset,” we’re breaking the myth that you have to be “ready” to obey God. Sis, Heaven rejoices over your small, imperfect beginnings because starting is an act of faith. Let’s talk about why your first step matters more than your polish, and t...

What if the disruption in your life isn’t a breakdown…but a divine setup? In this kickoff episode of our “When God Hits Reset” series, we’re diving into the uncomfortable but holy space between what was and what’s next. Sis, God isn’t punishing you. He’s positioning you. Let’s talk about how to recognize the shift, release the pressure to have it all figured out, and trust that the breaking might...

Hey, hey, and welcome back to Living a Resurrected Life ! I’ve been on a little podcast breather this July, but that didn’t mean we hit pause on purpose. Nope. I’ve spent the last few weeks sharing a few of my favorite episodes from the past year. Think greatest hits, but make it holy. And today? Today is our final recap before we jump headfirst into a brand-new series. Consider this the closing c...

This month, I’m taking a little break from new episodes, but I’m bringing back some of my favorites, and this one? Whew. “Shut Up” is a necessary reminder that sometimes the most powerful thing we can say is… nothing at all. In this episode, I share how a shy, talkative only child (yep, me) became someone called to speak and why that call comes with the responsibility to know when to speak and whe...

Hey there! Last week, I mentioned that I was taking a vacation from all things podcasting and such for the Month of July, and each week, I would share one of my favorite previous podcast episodes. This week, I’m bringing back one of my favorite solo episodes— “It’s My Reputation.” We’re diving into Ezekiel 36:26, a verse that sounds comforting on the surface: “I will give you a new heart and put a...

Lydia didn’t come to Jesus in crisis. She was already showing up, running her business, gathering with women in worship, and living with purpose. But when the Word reached her, she didn’t hesitate. She said yes. In this last episode of the Seen & Known series, we meet a woman who reminds us that faith and leadership aren’t at odds. Lydia used her resources, her rhythm, and her home to support the...

She was down to her last handful of flour. No backup plan. No reserves. Just enough for one final meal. And then came the ask. In this episode of Seen & Known , we meet the Widow of Zarephath—a woman who had almost nothing left to give, but still chose to obey. Her quiet 'yes' became the beginning of a miracle that sustained not only her life, but also the lives of those around her. If you’ve ever...

🎧 About today’s episode: She came to the well, trying not to be seen. But Jesus saw her anyway, and He didn’t turn away. In this episode of Seen & Known , we sit with the Samaritan woman, a woman with a complicated past, a guarded heart, and a thirst that ran deeper than water. What starts as a simple conversation at a well becomes one of the most powerful moments of grace in Scripture. If you’ve...

Before we begin today’s episode, I want to offer a content warning. This story includes themes of sexual assault, betrayal, and silence in the face of injustice. If that feels too heavy right now, I see you. Please feel free to pause or skip this one. Your healing matters more than anything I have to say. This one is raw. It’s the kind of story most people skip over in Scripture because it’s too r...

Do you ever look in the mirror and think, "God must have a sense of humor?" Because let's be real, y'all—some days, we are a whole mess. I mean, we start off with good intentions, like promising ourselves (again) we're gonna speak kindly, stay patient, and maybe even keep our minds focused during prayer this time. But five minutes later, there we are, knee-deep in frustration, eye-rolling so hard...

Have you ever had your whole day planned—like, color-coded calendar, to-do list on point, outfit matching the vibe—and then God just... interrupts it? Not with a whisper, not with a gentle nudge, but with a holy plot twist that leaves you blinking at the ceiling like, "Wait... what just happened?" Yeah. Me too. I used to think divine interruptions were punishments. Like maybe I didn’t pray enough,...

Let’s talk openly for a second. Have you ever found yourself staring at a situation that felt absolutely hopeless? I'm talking about those moments when life hits so hard it knocks the wind out of you. Maybe it's a loss so deep, an injustice so bitter, or grief so consuming you can't imagine taking another step. I've been there. In fact, our family has faced this head-on in a way I rarely share. Fa...

Holy Week just ended. And if I’m honest, I’m still holding my breath. The emotional swing between Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday is not for the faint of heart. One moment you’re standing at the foot of the cross, heartbroken and confused, and the next, you're trying to comprehend an empty tomb, wondering if joy could ever really rise from that much sorrow. This year, I couldn’t stop thinking...

Alright, let’s just cut right to it. Letting go is really hard. And I'm not just talking about Marie Kondo-ing your closet (although, if you've seen mine lately, that struggle is very real). I'm talking about releasing control of the things closest to your heart: your kids, your dreams, your plans. You know, those things you’ve planned out perfectly in your head but somehow God didn't get the memo...
