Get Ready With God

Today’s devotional is an honest reflection on grace, compassion, and how we treat each other. Are we sometimes expecting more from people than even God does? Let’s talk about what it means to extend the grace we so deeply hope to receive.

Today we’re going there—talking about the real and painful presence of hypocrisy in Christianity. If you’ve felt the dissonance, the grief, or the frustration, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about what we can do, starting with personal accountability and realignment.

Sometimes the hardest part isn't being able—it's being willing. I'm sharing a quote that's been stuck in my head about how God can make the willing able, but can't make the able willing, and why that might be the most important thing to understand when life feels impossible. Whether you're unable to get out of bed, choose faith, or find hope—what if willingness is literally all we need to bring to the table?

Gratitude is like drinking water: everyone tells you to do it, and when it works, it’s infuriating. Here’s why real gratitude (not the forced kind) actually changes things.

Today I’m sharing a few thoughts on religious trauma, panic attacks, and why acceptance should be a path to healing, not a permission slip for suffering. No shame here, just soul-deep honesty. God loves you—and I really hope you believe that by the end of this episode.

Guilt gets a bad rap—and sometimes for good reason. But what if it’s not meant to shame you, just redirect you? Today we’re giving guilt a little PR makeover. From raw dogging meetings (yes, really) to grief guilt and mom guilt, we’re asking: what if guilt’s just a low tire pressure light for the soul? Let’s talk about it.

I'm so tired of having to rally every time life throws me a curveball - like can't I just coast for a minute?  But here's what I've learned: letting go of the life you thought you should have actually opens up space to enjoy the life you get to have (plot twist pending on that extreme wealth lesson though
