FIRST VIDEO POD!!! 🥳 I wrote this episode as if I was talking to myself the summer before freshman year of college. This new phase of life is a jumble of excitement, stress, and bittersweetness that can be a little overwhelming at times! If you are like I was, you are a little nervous to start freshman year, so these tips and tricks are for you! I hope this episode gives you 20 minutes to take a breath, be still, and let the Lord equip your heart!

ITS CHURCH CAMP SEASOOON!!! On this episode, I talk with Braden Bodine, fellow church camp counselor, about the things we wish we knew as first year staffers. We discuss how to pour into students Biblically, guard your heart emotionally, and grow during a time of 24/7 ministry. We share our crazy camper stories, the good, the bad, and the ugly, and give advice on how to get the most out of your camp experience. Join us as we talk about the most wonderful time of the year, with a few cameos from our fellow staffers!

Do you ever feel like God isn't getting the memo...cuz SAME. It is difficult to find joy and contentment when it feels like our life is stuck in traffic. Luckily, God does indeed have a plan and I pinky-promise it is better than anything we can ask or imagine, but what do we do in the seasons of waiting? On this episode, let's talk about how we can start finding fulfillment before perfection, and be content in the growing process towards God's plan for us.

How do we stand out as Christians in a noisy world? On this episode I am joined by Karis Hughes and Ashlyn Carty as we reflect on our semester abroad, and talk about how to stand out as a Christian in everyday life. We talk about how to break cultural norms as Jesus did simply by reflecting His nature, and make people wonder, "what is so different about them?" Spoiler Alert: it's Jesus!

Have you ever found yourself searching for value in the world, only to feel empty? Ashley has been there, and boldly talks about finding her worth in Christ after being hurt by people and things of the world. Her story of resilience, hope, and redemption is truly inspiring and a testimony of how Christ pursues us, even at our worst.

Palm Sunday and Good Friday are among the most defining stories in the Bible. I mean, without them we wouldn't have the Bible to begin with! This episode digs into Jesus' last days and uncovers Biblical history that shows the complexity of the "simple gospel." Join us as we look into the prophecy, intricacy, and overall goodness of God's plan to redeem us!

Let's talk about these revivals that are popping up!! In this new mini-series, we will be talking about the differences in American Christianity and European Christianity. Let's start by discussing revival--what it is, why we need it, and ultimately how to keep it. With 2 Corinthians 4 as our guild, we will look at what the Lord says about setting our hearts on fire! 

Welcome to SEASON TWO!! Travel the world with me in this season, and see what the Lord has to teach us! To kick it off, let's talk about how we can be prepared to pursue our calling in the rocky mountain of life. Join me as we get real about comparison, finding peace, and fighting spiritual warfare. Open your Bible to Ephesians 6 and let's get going! :) 

The Christmas season is full of joy, beauty, and fellowship...until it isn't. Grief around the holiday season is a very real thing, and it can easily go overlooked by the bright lights and Christmas wishes. On this episode, we dig deep into what Jesus says about grief in the Beatitudes, and how we can find our refuge through the Lord. You are not alone in your sorrows, so come talk with us as we go to the Divine Comforter and renewer of our souls! 

It's the final episode of our first series!!! The past 7 weeks have been an amazing time of discussion and growth, and we are ending it off with a bang! Join us as we talk about how Gods strength sustains us and shine through where we fall short. We get into how gentleness can be perceived as weakness in a generation that encourages empowerment through fighting. We as Christians can call on God to fight our battles and live self-controlled when we following the Holy Spirit. We also talk about the reality of temptation, and what self-control looks like when we are surrounded by spiritual warfare!
