  • EPS.13 No Pretenses, Just Repentance: Keeping It Real with God
    In this episode, we dive into the heart of repentance—not as a one-time act, but as a daily posture of humility before God. Life is a journey, and none of us walk it perfectly. We wrestle with mistakes, shortcomings, and struggles, but the beauty of repentance is that it brings us back to God’s grace every single time. Together, we’ll explore what it means to acknowledge our imperfections, let go of shame, and lean on the mercy that meets us where we are. This is an invitation to stop pretending, start repenting, and remember that we’re all in this journey of growth and transformation together.

  • Get Used to Your 'Used To': Testimony, Faith, and Action

    Hey friend, hey join me as we reflect on Pastor G’s sermon about evangelism through the five W’s and “how,” explaining what evangelism is, why we must do it, who to reach, and why now is the time to act.

    We discussed the common obstacles (fear, assumptions, laziness, not knowing enough) and practical forms and approaches to evangelism—presence, proclamation, persuasion, power, relational, intellectual, invitational, service, and testimony-based outreach.

    Through personal testimony—fasting, being prayed for, and learning to share my story.  Just like Pastor G, I too, dare us to stop being selfish with our faith, write down what God has done for them, and reach out to others with love and obedience.
