Series: Pain Has a Purpose

In Episode 1 of the series, we talked about how “It Had to Hurt.” And now… we’re going deeper.

This episode is for the moments you’ve sat in the wreckage of a closed door, a failed plan, a broken heart—and wondered, “God, why?” But what if that pain wasn’t random? What if it wasn’t punishment? What if it was on purpose?

In this continuation of the Pain Has a Purpose series, we’re pulling back the curtain on those seasons that felt like detours, but were actually divine direction. Because God doesn’t make mistakes—He makes moves. And sometimes, the hurt was the only thing that could reroute you back to Him.

Get ready for some tough truth, deep reflection, and encouragement that hits you right where you are. It wasn’t by accident. It was an assignment.

Series: Pain Has a Purpose

Let’s be real… nobody likes pain. But what if the thing that hurt you was actually sent to help you?

In this kickoff episode of my Pain Has a Purpose series, we’re talking about the kind of pain that doesn’t feel fair—but ends up being exactly what we needed. The truth is, it wasn’t an accident. That heartbreak, that closed door, that thing you begged God to change? It was allowed on purpose. And not because God was trying to be cruel—because He was trying to get your attention.

We’re diving into what it means to be disciplined by a loving Father, and why some lessons only hit when it hurts. If you’ve been in a season of struggle, this episode is your reminder: you’re not being punished… you’re being prepared.

Grab your coffee (and maybe a journal)—it’s time to reframe the pain.

Let’s be real—we’re all submitting to something. 

(No, not the gym schedule we said we’d follow. Oops.) 

Whether it’s people-pleasing, control, fear, culture, or comfort food—we tend to hand over our hearts to the wrong things. Meanwhile, God’s over here like, “Hello? I’m the Good Shepherd… remember Me?”

In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to submit to God—and why it’s so easy to wander off like lost sheep, chasing things that were never meant to lead us. 

I dive into the parables of the lost sheep from Matthew and Luke, unpack Psalm 23:1-4 (because yes, He makes us lie down in green pastures—even when we’re kicking and screaming), and Isaiah 53:6, which hits way too close to home.

If you’ve ever found yourself drifting from God’s will, questioning His plan, or just feeling a little spiritually stubborn, this one’s for you. 

Come get gently (and maybe hilariously) convicted—and encouraged to re-surrender to the only One worth following!

Ever tried getting cozy in life just to feel like God yanked the blanket off? Same. In this episode, we're talking about how comfort isn’t always your friend—and how God will lovingly (and sometimes not-so-gently) nudge you out of it. 

Spoiler alert: it's not because He’s mean, it's because He wants you to lean on Him—not your own strength.

I’m sharing 3 ways I’ve personally found purpose in the pain of discomfort (yes, even the “Jesus, why is this happening?” moments), and diving into how pain is often God's classroom—not a punishment. 

We’ll also dig into some powerful Bible verses that remind us we’re not alone, and that walking with Jesus may not be popular... but it’s always worth it.

If you’ve been feeling stretched, challenged, or straight-up uncomfortable—this one’s for you. God’s not trying to break you… He’s trying to build you.

In this deeply introspective episode, we explore the perplexing question, "How did I get here?" with inspiration from the journeys of biblical figures like Moses, Ruth, Esther, Daniel, David, the apostles, Job, and Jesus. Through their stories, we uncover the divine orchestration that places each of us exactly where God intends. 

This episode is designed to reshape your perspective and instill courage by reminding you that your current path is part of God's grand design.

With a touch of nostalgia, we reflect on a memorable scene from Santa Claus, where Judy tells Scott Calvin that grown-ups stop believing in magic because it grows out of them... well we can't let our faith grow out of us. Kids don't have to see Santa to believe in him, they just do. We don't have to see the face of God to believe in Him, that's why we have faith. 
 
Join us as we delve into these timeless stories, finding comfort and strength in the knowledge that your presence here isn't by chance, but by divine purpose.
