Are you holding onto your dreams even when circumstances seem dire?

In this episode of Drawing Deeper in Devotion, I dive deep into the remarkable story of Joseph and examine what it means to have unwavering faith amidst trials and tribulations.

I've been absorbed in Joseph's narrative during my devotions, and it's been a transformative journey. Joseph's story is widely known, thanks to musicals like "Joseph’s Coat of Many Colors" and movies like "The Prince of Egypt," but have you ever truly reflected on the profound lessons it offers about faith, resilience, and God-given purpose?

I take you through a whirlwind recount of Joseph's life—from being his father's favorite child facing envy from his brothers, to being sold into slavery, imprisoned unjustly, and finally rising to power in Egypt. Through all his pitfalls and peaks, Joseph never wavered in his connection with God. His story is a testament to the incredible power of keeping faith in God's promises, even when your current reality seems to contradict those promises.

You’ll hear about my personal insights and struggles as a child and young adult who was deeply connected to God, yet often misunderstood by others. But like Joseph, I learned that the journey wasn't so much about immediate validation but about trusting God's larger plan.

This episode isn't just a retelling of Joseph's life. It's a call to action for you. Will you maintain your faith when the going gets tough? Do you have the strength to hold onto God’s promises, even when the world tells you otherwise? By exploring Joseph's life and my own experiences, I challenge you to examine your faith, expectations, and the visions you hold for the future.

Join me in this conversation that pushes you to reinterpret your struggles as stepping stones and encourages you to stay anchored in faith. This is for anyone needing a reminder that God’s promises don’t always align with our timelines but will manifest in their rightful time.

Remember, faith is the currency in the kingdom of God. I pray this episode inspire you to be active in your belief and to see every challenge as a path to greater blessings and a key part of stepping into your destiny. Will you keep the faith?

Are you ready to elevate from good to great?

In this eye-opening episode of Drawing Deeper in Devotion, I uncover a game-changing truth about discernment and its role in unlocking God’s greater plans for your life. Have you ever wondered if the “good” things you’re pursuing are actually standing in the way of God’s best for you? This message might just be the breakthrough you’ve been seeking.

I take you on a deeply personal journey, reflecting on meditative practices and Scripture, especially Isaiah 45:22, to ask a simple yet profound question: “Am I truly looking to God?” Through a moving story about perceived distance from God, I illustrate the power of shifting your perspective and leaning into His presence to find salvation, clarity, and purpose.

Here’s why you need to tune in:

* Feel closer to God than ever before. Discover how feeling distant is often just that—a feeling—and learn how to close the gap and deepen your connection with Him.

* Uncover the hidden obstacles holding you back. The good things in your life may be the very things keeping you from the greatness God has prepared for you.

* Learn to navigate tough choices with confidence. I share real-life examples of saying no to good opportunities to make room for the divine.

* Build a faith-driven life of alignment. Practical strategies will help you cultivate a routine that prioritizes God’s voice, guiding you toward clarity and purpose.

If you’re someone who feels stuck, unsure, or overwhelmed by decisions, this episode will meet you where you are and inspire you to take bold steps forward.

I don’t just talk about faith—I invite you into a countercultural process of grounding your decisions in intuition, truth, and divine guidance. It’s about stepping away from the noise and aligning your heart with God’s plan.
