Calculated

In this episode, I look at the truth that we were all created with intention. From reflecting God’s image to being hardwired for eternity, we’ll explore how our deepest longings are pointing us back to our Creator—and how Jesus is the answer to all of our hardest questions.

In this episode, we take a look at the Tower of Babel story from Genesis 11:1-9 and talk about how our pride and desire for control can lead us to build "towers" that don't last. I dive into the dangers of trying to find security and unity apart from God and explore how the people of Babel learned the hard way that their plans were never going to work.

This year, let’s not waste time building things that won’t last, and let’s build on what truly matters.

In this episode, I’m sharing some of the biggest lessons I’ve picked up during my three years as a barista. From learning when “less is more” to realizing it’s all about people, these stories and moments have taught me so much about life and faith. I’ll talk about how even the little things, like pulling an espresso shot or showing up on a bad day, can remind us of God’s bigger picture.

In this episode, I talk about the goodbyes we all face and the one goodbye that matters most: saying goodbye to our old selves to follow Jesus.

Additionally, I talk about the ultimate goodbye that happened when Jesus put on flesh and stepped into our broken world.

"Mild He lays His glory by,  

Born that man no more may die;

Born to raise the sons of earth;  

Born to give them second birth."

Merry Christmas!!

In this episode, I talk about the phrase, "You make your plans and you hear God laughing," and why it's an incorrect perspective on God's nature. Through the story of the Prodigal Son and the Israelites, God’s heart is one of compassion, not amusement, when we make misguided choices.

Have a great week!

In this episode, I talk about times in our lives that we wouldn't have or couldn't have planned. I also talk the "backwardness" of the Christmas story.

Isaiah 55:8

In this episode, I talk about how to be thankful when we don't feel thankful. I go through Psalm 103 as a blueprint!

Again, Happy Thanksgiving. Gobble Gobble.

In this episode, I talk about a popular phrase, its meaning and origin, and how its meaning runs contrary to the life we are called to live.

Romans 12:2

2 Corinthians 5:17

In this episode, I talk about the meaning behind the name, Calculated. I also spend time talking what idols are, what I've idolized, and where we all need to run instead.
