Having high standards isn't a bad thing, but sometimes we can merge having high standards into having unrealistic expectations. How can we differentiate between the two? How do we know if we have high standards or if we have unrealistic expectations for our future spouse? What should or shouldn't we include on our lists? What about non-negotiables?  In this episode, I discuss some of the differences between high standards and unrealistic expectations, also discussing "the list", which alludes to last week's episode. 

We often hear people say "I can do this all by myself" "I don't need anyone else but me" "I'm capable enough" or "I'll just do it myself", but how can individualism impact our daily lives, relationships, and health? In this episode, by reading several statistics, I discuss the negative effects of isolation and having an "independence" mindset. I will also explore the importance of community and meaningful relationships. We are meant to be in community. Don't do life alone, and don't be afraid to reach out to others.

2021 was a busy, uncertain, yet exciting year. As this year is coming to close, I have been reflecting on the blessings that I have had throughout it. There is so much to be grateful for in each of our lives. I'm grateful to have lived another year, and I'm looking forward to the new and wonderful opportunities that will be presented in 2022. Before this year ends, let us reflect on God's blessings, and with gratitude and optimism, enter into 2022. 

Humility is one of the main themes of Christmas. Jesus came into this world in the form of pure humility, and if God Himself positioned Himself humbly, so should we. In this episode, I briefly explore the importance of humility, not merely during the holiday season, but during our every day lives. Merry Christmas! ♥️

In life, we will encounter tragedies, whether or not we are directly or indirectly affected by them. How should we react to these such tragedies? What should or shouldn't we do? What do we do when we are over taken by fear, anxiety and uncertainty? In this episode, I discuss several passages of Scripture in the Bible that address ways we can get through hardships. Hardships are inevitable and fear and anxiety are shared among many. There are ways to combat negative thoughts with the promises of God; in this episode I will explore several of them. Please stay safe and stay well. Talk to someone or get help if you need to. I love you all dearly.

Singleness can be hard. It can be frustrating and it can be very discouraging at times. Singleness is a blessing, but sometimes it can feel incredibly lonely, even in the midst of a community. In this episode, I discuss some of the hard parts about singleness and how to stay uplifted during the especially difficult days.

In this episode, I address a few of the common misconceptions about the value of women in the Bible. Throughout both the Old and New Testaments, we see countless instances where God reveals His heart towards women. According to the Bible, are men and women equal in value? Does the Bible affirm equality among the sexes? Would Jesus' actions towards women have been considered to be radical in his time? Using scriptural evidences and references, these questions, along with a few others connected to them, will be addressed in this episode.
