Most of us think it’s the big things in life that shape us.

But what if it’s actually the small things quietly controlling us every day?

In this episode, we talk about two habits that didn’t seem like a big deal at first but ended up revealing something deeper. What started as simple changes turned into a wake-up call about control, identity, and where we were placing our focus.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about awareness.

Because sometimes the things stealing your peace aren’t obvious… until you finally let them go.

In this episode, we dive into First Kings 17–19 and walk through the story of Elijah.

Most people know about the moment he calls down fire from heaven.

One of the biggest victories in the Bible… followed by fear, exhaustion, and wanting to give up.

We talk through:

This is an honest conversation about:

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right and it’s still not working, this one hits.

Because sometimes the biggest truth is this:

What did people actually eat in the Bible?

In this episode, we sit down at the kitchen table and dig into the truth about food in Scripture, from the Garden of Eden to the time of Jesus.

We talk about:

What Eve actually ate (hint: not an apple)

What manna really was and how it sustained people for 40 years

The real meaning behind “clean” and “unclean” foods

What people actually ate day-to-day in biblical times

Why fasting wasn’t about health… and what it was really for

How Jesus changed the conversation around food completely

This isn’t about diet trends or “biblical eating plans.”

If you’ve ever wondered what the Bible really says about food, this one might surprise you.

Disclaimer: The conversations shared on Faith Is a Journey reflect our personal experiences and understanding of Scripture. They are not intended as formal theological teaching, dietary advice or professional counseling. All is simply our opinion and conversation. 

In this episode of Faith is a Journey, we share a personal story that happened just this morning.

While getting ready for church, we encountered a neighbor’s dog running loose in our neighborhood. What started as a simple walk quickly turned into a decision: ignore the situation so we could get to church on time… or stop and help.

That small moment led us to reflect on several teachings of Jesus, including the parable of the lost sheep and His response to the Pharisees about helping others even on the Sabbath.

Sometimes faith isn’t about hearing the message inside the church walls. Sometimes it’s about living it out in the moments we didn’t plan for.

We also talk about the difference between knowing scripture and actually living it, and how small acts of obedience can reveal what real faith looks like in everyday life.

Key scriptures discussed:

Matthew 12:11–12

Join us as we explore what it means to be not just hearers of the word, but doers.

Do guardian angels really exist? What does the Bible actually say about angels?

In this episode of Faith Is a Journey, we explore what the New Testament teaches about angels. Are angels assigned to protect each person, or are they simply servants of God carrying out His will?

Looking at passages from Hebrews, Luke, Acts, and Revelation, we discuss what angels are, what they look like, and the roles they play in the life of believers. From delivering messages and strengthening people in difficult moments to rescuing Peter from prison, angels appear throughout the New Testament in powerful and mysterious ways.

We also talk about an interesting question many people wonder about: if angels help us, should we pray to them, or only to God?

Join us as we explore what Scripture says about angels and what their presence teaches us about God’s care and protection.

Faith Is a Journey is a conversation between a husband and wife exploring the Bible and growing in faith together.

The headlines feel overwhelming right now.

War in the Middle East.

But what does the Bible actually say about all of this?

In this episode of Faith is a Journey, we sit down for a real kitchen-table conversation about how Christians should respond when the world feels chaotic.

We also want to be clear that this conversation is simply thoughtful discussion, opinions and reflection. When we talk about current events or unusual claims, we’re exploring ideas and asking questions from a biblical perspective, not claiming to have all the answers or making definitive statements about what is happening.

In this episode we discuss:

• Why Jesus said not to panic about wars and world events

Instead of getting caught up in fear, speculation, or internet theories, this conversation focuses on what Scripture actually teaches and how believers can stay grounded in faith no matter what is happening around us.

Because at the end of the day, our hope isn’t in headlines, it’s in Christ.

Are we just hearing the Word… or actually living it?

In this episode of Faith Is A Journey, we dive into one of the most uncomfortable books in the Bible: James.

James says faith without works is dead. So what does that actually mean? Are we saved by faith alone? What does obedience look like in real life? And what happens when following God costs us something?

We talk honestly about:

The difference between believing and surrendering

Why church on Sunday isn’t enough

Costly obedience and hidden pride

Abraham, Rahab, and real-life risk

Where we might be delaying obedience

This isn’t polished theology. It’s a husband and wife wrestling through what it means to live out authentic, visible faith.

If your faith feels comfortable, this episode might challenge you.

Ever feel like you’re waiting on God… but nothing’s happening?

You’ve got the job. The family. The responsibilities. You’re doing what you’re “supposed” to do.

Is this really the life God designed for me?

In this episode, we talk honestly about feeling stuck, over-planning, chasing certainty, and wondering if we’re missing something bigger. We wrestle with what it actually means to follow Jesus in real life, not just in theory.

We dig into:

The tension between waiting and fear

Why obedience feels risky

Letting go of the need for a blueprint

The difference between knowing Scripture and being changed by it

What it looks like to live your faith outside of Sunday

This isn’t a step-by-step formula.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between comfort and calling, this one’s for you.

What happens when doing the “right thing” doesn’t bring peace?

In this episode, we talk honestly about the guilt that can creep in after holding onto meaningful possessions. What started as helping family turned into sleepless nights, second-guessing motives, and asking whether we were honoring God or quietly letting guilt take over.

We wrestle with Jesus’ words about earthly treasures and heavenly ones, not from a place of rules or minimalism, but from lived experience. Is the real issue the things we own, or what guilt and attachment do to our hearts?

What do you do when “keep it in the family” really means someone has to store it forever?

In this episode of Faith is a Journey, we talk honestly about letting go of possessions, especially when they carry family history, guilt, and emotional weight. Recorded right before walking into a difficult family situation, this conversation wrestles with memories, expectations, and the quiet pressure to hold onto things long after their purpose is gone.

Through personal stories, uncomfortable questions, and scripture from Matthew 6, Luke 12, and Philippians 4, we explore why our lives are not defined by what we own, how objects can become emotional burdens, and what it really means to live with contentment.

If you’ve ever struggled with cleaning out a house, holding onto heirlooms, or feeling responsible for other people’s emotions, this episode is for you.

This isn’t about minimalism.
