In this Refueled segment, we’re exploring what it really means to make room for God... not just occasionally or when it’s convenient, but fully and intentionally. I share how a worship song, a powerful book (Not a Fan by Kyle Idleman), and a few real-life wake-up calls led me to examine the slow drift that happens when faith becomes secondary.

Are you dabbling in your faith—or is God your foundation?
Are you just making room—or surrendering completely?

Do you truly know Jesus or are you letting the barriers of religion separate you? 

If you’ve been feeling distant or lukewarm in your walk, this episode is for you.
Listen in, reflect deeply, and be reminded: His way is better.

Tune in to this week’s Refueled segment—a little different from our usual interview format, and a lot more personal.

We dive into Proverbs 3:5-6 and what it really means to trust and wait on the Lord.

For the month of May, my husband and I made a public commitment: we wouldn’t make any decisions on our own—we’d pause and wait on God. And of course, life tested that promise.

In this episode, I share what happened next: how choosing to wait led to deeper faith, unexpected blessings, and—maybe most powerful of all—a testimony for those watching from the outside.

It wasn’t about having the perfect plan. It was about trusting Him enough to slow down, surrender control, and let Him move.

So my question for you is simple:
 Are you willing to trust Him? To wait on Him?

If you’re unsure, hit play...you might find the encouragement you need.

In this episode, our host sits down with John Leslie, Divisional VP of Growth for the Southeast Division of Apartment Life. With over 40 years of ministry experience: including church planting, pastoring, and connecting faith to everyday life-John shares how Apartment Life is uniquely positioned to meet people where they are: right in their own apartment communities.

Together, they explore what it means to “live on mission” by turning everyday interactions (sharing a meal, hosting events, or simply being present) into opportunities to demonstrate God’s love through hospitality. John reflects on his personal journey of discovering Apartment Life while planting a church in downtown Tampa, and how this alignment of faith and community engagement became life-changing for him.

Listeners will be inspired by the concept that ministry doesn’t always happen inside church walls. Through simple acts of hospitality, intentional conversations, and everyday presence, John shows how living on mission can be woven seamlessly into our daily lives. It’s not about big platforms or elaborate plans- it’s about opening our hearts and homes, building genuine connections, and letting God’s love shine through us naturally.

This episode is an inspiring reminder that ministry isn’t limited to Sunday mornings...it happens every day, when we truly see and love the neighbors God places in our path.

If you’ve ever wondered how to integrate your faith with your daily life, especially in your own neighborhood or community, this episode offers both encouragement and practical insight into being mission-minded right where you live.

Welcome to Faith Fueled, the podcast where we explore the intersection of faith and professional life. We all compartmentalize. Work goes in one box, our social life in another, and faith stays neatly tucked away, rarely merging with the rest. How many of us have thought, 'Everyone at work knows I'm a Christian, but I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable or feel like I'm pushing my faith on them’?

When I started PowerHire Solutions LLC it was my faith that carried me through the tough days and kept me praising during the blessings. I felt a growing responsibility to place my faith front and center. And I realized I’m not alone—there are countless professionals in corporate settings and entrepreneurs who have made glorifying God their primary mission.

Why do we hesitate to think this can’t be done? Join me as I interview passionate professionals who are breaking down these barriers, sharing their faith in the grocery store, at home, and in the workplace. If you believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, tune in for inspiration, encouragement, and a challenge to let everything you do reflect the glory of God—even your work!
