With the help of the Holy Spirit, this week on Faithful Fridays I’m encouraging you to stay on the water—to keep your faith steady during hard and uncertain times.

This episode is inspired by Mark 6:45–52, where Peter walks on water and everything changes the moment he takes his eyes off Jesus. I reflect on how we can hold on to Christ and His promises when life gets overwhelming and believe God for the impossible even in the storm.

Keep your eyes on Him—He’s never left your side.

Last week, we talked about the seasons of life, and this week, we’re going deeper.

By the help of the Holy Spirit, we’ll explore the lessons God may be teaching us in our individual seasons. Sometimes, we’re in a refining process—being shaped, stretched, and prepared for what’s ahead. God is always working, even in the waiting.

Join me as we reflect on how embracing His refining work makes us stronger for ourselves and His Kingdom in the next season!

In this episode of Faithful Fridays, I’m reflecting on the lessons God has been teaching me during a difficult season. By the help of the Holy Spirit, I’ve been learning the beauty of surrender through Ecclesiastes 3, which reminds us that there is a time for everything. Whether in highs or lows, God is present and working.

Join me as I talk about submitting to Him in every season, trusting His timing and finding purpose even in the quiet, hidden places.

Pride comes before destruction—a powerful truth from Proverbs 16:18 that reminds us how unchecked pride can be a major stumbling block in our lives.

In this episode, by the help of the Holy Spirit, I’ll unpack how pride can hold us back from growth, relationships and ultimately, God’s grace. But there’s good news—humility opens the door to His favour!

Join me as we discuss how to recognise, confront and overcome pride so we can walk fully in God’s wonderful grace.

This week on Faithful Fridays, we continue exploring the Fruits of the Spirit and their roots in love, as described in 1 Corinthians 13. By the help of the Holy Spirit, we’ll dive deeper into how God’s love serves as the foundation for these qualities and transforms our hearts and actions.

Join me as we reflect on how love fuels joy, patience and kindness, equipping us to live out our faith authentically.

Happy New Year! As we begin this fresh chapter, join me in exploring the Fruits of the Spirit and their foundation in love, as described in 1 Corinthians 13. By the help of the Holy Spirit, I’ve been led to share how love fuels joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Let’s reflect on how God’s love equips us to embody His character and navigate the year ahead with purpose and grace.

In this episode of Faithful Fridays, I (through the Holy Spirit) talk about the reality that everything is spiritual. We are in a constant spiritual battle and whether we realise it or not, the challenges we face often have deeper spiritual roots. That’s why we need to stay protected and connected to God by putting on the full armour of God as described in Ephesians 6:10-18.

Join me as I break down each piece of the armour and learn how to stand firm against the enemy’s schemes. Let’s equip ourselves with God’s truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation and His Word to walk boldly in victory!

In this episode of Faithful Fridays, I (through the Holy Spirit) talk about the feeling of being overwhelmed and how we can find peace and strength through the comforting words of Psalm 23. I break down this powerful psalm verse by verse, sharing what it means to me and how it speaks to God’s presence, provision and protection in the midst of life’s challenges.

Join me as we learn how to lean on the Good Shepherd when we’re overwhelmed, finding rest and reassurance in His promises. There’s a path to peace—even in the chaos—when we trust in Him.

In this episode of Faithful Fridays, I (through the Holy Spirit) explore the life-changing power of God’s Word, rooted in Hebrews 4:12, which reminds us that His Word is alive, active and sharper than any double-edged sword. It not only transforms us from the inside out but also acts as a conduit to grow our faith and deepen our obedience to Him.

Join me as I share how engaging with scripture equips us to navigate life’s challenges, convicts us where change is needed and brings us closer to fulfilling God’s purpose in our lives.
