Have you ever felt like everything you did was falling apart? If you're honest with yourself, were those things your will or God's? This is a very brief conversation about understanding the staying power of our efforts!

Sometimes we can find ourselves striving to control other people's opinions of us through people pleasing. We'll defy God to not make someone uncomfortable or overextend ourselves to not risk being disliked. Whenever we do something at the expense of honoring God's word and who He is making you, we are working from a place of idolatry. Let's talk about it.

Intimacy, or closeness requires vulnerability. However, we often wrongly submit ourselves to closeness in relationships because we pay attention to the wrong metrics. With that being said, love actually doesn't require, guarantee, or oblige intimacy. Love is freely given, intimacy should not be. Let's talk about it!

Let's talk about it!

Hi everyone! We live in an era where the church is intentional about supporting and discussing mental health (which is a great thing). However there are moments where therapy is pushed instead of deliverance (and vice versa). This episode will be looking at my own experience with fresh eyes! Either way, don't be ashamed of how God chooses to heal you. Trust Him in your process.
