We’ve all heard the phrases: “Follow your heart.” “Everything happens for a reason.” “God won’t give you more than you can handle.”

But what if these phrases actually do more harm than good?

In this episode, I unpack popular Christian sayings and compare them with what Scripture actually reveals. We talk about suffering, happiness, following your heart, and what “I can do all things through Christ” really means in seasons where everything is falling apart.

Let's open the Bible and walk through James 1 using an ancient practice called Lectio Divina, a intentional way to read Scripture that has been used for centuries. It moves through four simple steps: reading the text carefully, meditating on what stands out, praying in response to what God reveals, and resting quietly in His presence to then act it out.

We talk about trials, asking God for wisdom, and why peace can come before circumstances change. This is for anyone who feels unsure how to read the Bible or wants a deeper, more personal relationship with God. Or if you want a fun little Bible study to get you thinking deeper about James 1!

Feeling lost after a breakup (or any change in life) and unsure what God wants you to do next? In this episode, we talk about those seasons (not just breakups) when God feels silent, drawing from personal experience, Scripture, and practical spiritual disciplines.

In this episode, we cover:

- Common reasons God might feel silent

- How to obey what He has already revealed

- Why focusing on who you’re becoming matters more than knowing every next step

Today we are going back to the basics and talking about who Jesus is, why I choose to believe in Him and what it means to follow him in our daily life (and be a Christian!)

Some topics we cover:

How salvation works and the difference between faith and works

• Core practices Jesus modeled: prayer, Scripture, fasting, generosity, silence, and more
• How following Jesus is more about transformation than knowledge

This episode isn’t just about knowledge. It’s about living out your faith in daily life and apprenticing yourself to Jesus, no matter where you’re at in your journey!

Breaking up with my phone... for a week lol. So I tried a week-long digital detox to unplug from screens and social media—and I definitely failed in some ways, but the results were amazing. In this episode, I share the wins, the struggles, and the lessons I learned about focus, presence, and connecting with God in our modern world.

We’re talking about 10 habits, mindsets, or relationship patterns that may be normalized… but are actually keeping us stuck. Like the fear of starting over, falling in love with potential, blurry boundaries, avoiding hard conversations, people-pleasing, guilt, and holding onto things God has been asking us to release.

As we start 2026 I feel like this is a perfect time for a gentle reset by asking yourself: what am I not bringing with me into 2026?

In this episode, I look back at 2025—a year I may not have achieved all my goals, but sure did learn a lot. Looking ahead to 2026, we chat about skipping unrealistic expectations, taking small faith-centered steps, leaning on God, and focusing on who He wants us to become—not just what we check off a list. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or hopeful for a fresh start, this one’s for you.

(also next week there will be no podcast episode... taking a little new year's reset as I mentioned in this pod)

In this episode, I talk about what to do when your past keeps resurfacing and how I experienced this during big life transitions like getting engaged. I share how guilt, regret, and old memories once haunted me, and how God used those moments not to condemn me, but to bring healing, clarity, and growth. This episode is for anyone struggling to forgive themselves, process old wounds, or move forward without being pulled back by who they used to be.
