In this episode, our host Kyia Mochitani celebrates her three year podcasting anniversary! Yup, three years, 167 episodes, and over 7,600 downloads across six continents. Kyia reflects on what it’s meant to show up every week, no matter the season.
Listeners will get a behind-the-scenes look at the journey from episode one to now — including the fears that almost stopped her, the messages that changed everything, and the reason she never missed a single week.

In this episode, our host Kyia and her fiancé, Jake Stammer dive into the unique roles they each play in their relationship — not based on stereotypes, but on their God-given strengths. They reflect on how coming from different backgrounds shaped their expectations for marriage and how they’ve had to refine those expectations together. Rooted in Scripture, this conversation is packed with practical wisdom and encouragement for couples pursuing unity, purpose, and peace in their partnership.
In this episode our host, Kyia dives into the difference between a schedule that looks full and one that actually fills you. Rooted in Scripture and real-life rhythms, she unpacks what it means to build a life-giving, God-centered daily flow, one that prioritizes peace over pressure and presence over performance. Kyia shares a practical framework to help listeners reimagine their days with intention. From morning devotion to evening reflection, this episode is packed with tangible tools, soul-level questions, and Spirit-led strategies to help you trade burnout for balance and busyness for purpose.

In this episode, our host Kyia is joined by her small group leader, mentor, friend, and worship leader for an honest conversation about some of the most tender and challenging parts of the Christian walk.
Together, they unpack experiences with church hurt—how it shapes our faith, what healing can look like, and why it’s still worth choosing community. They also dive deep into obedience during seasons of waiting, where trusting God feels costly and uncertain. Lastly, they explore the topic of singleness within the church, breaking down unhealthy norms and reframing singleness as a season full of purpose, not lack.
In this episode, our host Kyia talks about the pressure to “have it all figured out” in your twenties — the job, the person, the purpose, the plan — and why that expectation is not only unrealistic, but unbiblical.
She unpacks the myth that your twenties are for arriving and reminds listeners that they’re actually for becoming.Through powerful biblical examples like Moses, David, and even Jesus, Kyia paints a picture of a God who doesn’t rush growth, but deeply values process, preparation, and obscurity. This is a must-listen for anyone feeling anxious about their pace in life or pressured to have a five-year plan when they’re just trying to be faithful with today.
In this episode, our host Kyia Mochitani invites her fiancé Jake stammer to discuss what has been changing in this season of change.

They open up about the real stuff—missed expectations, different daily schedules, learning how to cheer each other on even when our worlds look completely different. Jake and Kyia also share the practical ways we’re protecting connection, growing spiritually, and choosing unity, even when life feels full and fast.
Whether you're dating, engaged, or married, this episode is for anyone navigating new rhythms while trying to keep their relationship rooted in grace, support, and intentionality.
Planning a wedding is supposed to be joyful—but no one warned me how deeply it would challenge the way I see my body. Between dress fittings, comments from others, and the pressure to “look perfect,” I started realizing how much shame I’d carried silently for years.
In this episode, I open up about what this season is teaching me—not just about body image, but about compassion, healing, and seeing myself the way God does. I talk about the spiritual battle behind body shame, how the enemy uses appearance to distract and discourage us, and the truth that your worth has nothing to do with a mirror, a milestone, or a measurement.
If you’ve ever struggled with food noise, body comparison, or feeling like your body is never quite “enough,” I pray this conversation meets you where you are. You are not a project. You are a temple. And you are already deeply loved.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
Whether you're planning a wedding or just living in a world obsessed with appearance—this one’s for you.
Let’s rewrite the narrative.
Let’s choose truth over shame.
And let’s remember: your body is not a problem to be fixed—it’s a vessel to be cherished.
In this episode, our host Kyia Mochitani talks about being the only Christian in the room and it isn’t always easy. Kyia opens up about the real tension of standing firm in your faith when everyone else is going in a different direction. We talk about saying no to parties, resisting gossip, and choosing purity—even when it costs you popularity, friendships, or inclusion. From dealing with FOMO, to finding your identity in Christ—not culture—we’ll walk through practical, biblical encouragement for staying grounded when you feel alone in your faith. You’ll hear how to respond when people give you a hard time, how to stay strong in your convictions, and why it’s so worth it in the long run. Whether you’re in high school, college, or just navigating hard spaces—you’re not alone. You were never meant to blend in. You were meant to shine.
