Welcome back to But God:— where we dive into real stories of hope, heartbreak, and the powerful moments where God steps in.

Since it's Thanksgiving, we're taking a break this episode to talk about gratitude. As I've been studying through the book of Hosea on my Tiktok page, I've been thinking about Hosea 2:8 which talks about God giving Israel everything and them giving it to idols. We'll break down what it looks like to have time, talent and treasure idols and I give you challenges to replace your thinking. I hope it's helpful.

We'll be back next week with our regularly scheduled programming!

Eleven years ago, Amy’s world flipped upside down when she was diagnosed with diabetes. What followed was a long season of grief, loss, frustration, and learning how to navigate a new normal.

But in the middle of the shock and the struggle, Amy discovered something deeper—God’s steady, personal presence. In this episode, Amy shares how her diagnosis reshaped her identity, how she learned to lean on God in the hardest moments, and how He met her with hope, comfort, and purpose.

Her story is real, raw, and a powerful reminder that even when life takes an unexpected turn… God is still writing something good.

Hey Friends!

Welcome back to But God: A Story Worth Telling. Today I’m chatting with my friend Kiana, a 24-year-old tattoo artist from Texas and a youth pastor’s kid whose story is full of creativity, courage, and faith. Kiana has learned what it means to live with a healthy fear of the Lord, follow God’s calling even when it’s scary, and stay close to Him every single day.

In our conversation, we talk about what it looks like to keep God at the center of everything — from your work to your relationships — and how to walk confidently in the plans He has for your life. This is such an honest and inspiring conversation, and I can’t wait for you to hear Kiana’s story.

In today's episode, I’m joined by my friend Kyra as she shares her powerful testimony. Her story weaves through adoption, the weight of shame, and the beauty of the gospel. She opens up about walking through health struggles, quitting her job in her thirties, and how God has met her with contentment and peace in the middle of it all. Kyra’s journey is a reminder that even when life feels uncertain, God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness.

Hey Family!

In this episode of But God: A Story Worth Telling, I sit down with my new friend Mykah. Growing up in a Christian family, she faced the quiet struggle of loneliness—yet God used that season to shape her, strengthen her faith, and eventually lead her to start her own ministry.

Together, we talk about what it looks like to invite God into every part of life, how to balance friendships in a healthy way, why humility matters, and how to train our hearts to see God in everything. Mykah’s story is a powerful reminder that even in seasons where we feel unseen, God is working and preparing us for something greater.

Thanks for listening!

Hi Fam!

Welcome back to “But God: A Story Worth Telling” — where we share real stories of how God meets us in the middle of the mess, shows up in the unexpected, and reminds us that no story is too far gone for His redemption.

Today, I’m sitting down with Rachel — a woman whose faith has been forged through some of life’s hardest battles. From walking through her parents’ divorce and her mother’s struggle with alcoholism, to receiving a breast cancer diagnosis in 2024, Rachel has seen firsthand how God’s strength shows up when ours runs out.

In this episode, she opens up about what it’s looked like to hold onto hope, see God’s purpose in the pain, and find peace in the middle of uncertainty. Her story is one of resilience, faith, and the reminder that even when life doesn’t make sense — God is still working.

So take a deep breath, grab your coffee, and lean in — because this is a story worth telling.

Welcome to another episode of But God: A Story Worth Telling. Today I’m sitting down with my new friend Allie, whose story is one of resilience, raw honesty, and deep faith. Allie has battled breast cancer, liver cancer, and infertility, and yet in the middle of her pain she has found God’s presence in every moment.

In our conversation, we talk about what it looks like to handle grief, how to encourage someone else who is hurting, and the tension between God’s plan and timing versus our own. Allie also shares how choosing to live with a heavenly perspective has transformed the way she faces life’s hardest challenges.

Her story is a reminder that no matter what we walk through, God is still faithful.

Hey Fam!

In this episode of But God: A Story Worth Telling, I sit down with my friend Emily, whose life radiates the joy of the Lord. But that joy has been refined through deep valleys—like losing her sister to breast cancer and walking through seasons of rock bottom.

Emily opens up about what surrendering to God really looks like, how spiritual disciplines like fasting and prayer have shaped her faith, and how she continues to find joy even in sorrow. Her story is beautiful and you can see God in the whole thing—and I know you’re going to be as encouraged by Emily as I was.
