What does it mean that God is steadfast? 

In this episode, we're looking at one of the most beautiful descriptions of God's character in Scripture-His steadfast love. We'll explore why this isn't just about God's feelings toward us, but His unchanging covenant faithfulness that never wavers, even when life does. 

If you've ever wondered whether God is still with you in the middle of uncertainty, this episode is for you.

When Fear Knows Your Name | Faith Over Fear

Fear has a way of making itself feel familiar. It whispers worst-case scenarios, keeps us stuck, and convinces us that we’re not enough.

In this episode, I’m doing something a little different. I’m reading the first chapter of my book, Choosing Better, titled When Fear Knows Your Name, and sharing some personal reflections on where I was when I wrote it and why this message still matters today.

If fear has been calling your name lately, I pray this episode reminds you that God is calling you to something greater—a life marked by faith instead of fear.

Grief changes everything. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, a pet, a relationship, or a dream, even the simplest parts of life can feel overwhelming.

In this episode of Grace & Grit, we’re looking at Psalm 147:3 and exploring practical, biblical ways to navigate grief one day at a time. We’ll talk about healthy routines, giving yourself grace, finding support, managing difficult emotions, and discovering how God gently heals and binds up our broken hearts.

If you’re hurting today, I pray this conversation reminds you that you don’t have to walk through grief alone.

Have you ever felt like you're doing all the right things, but the answer still hasn't come? In this episode, we explore the parable of the ten virgins and what it means to wait well when the Bridegroom seems delayed. Jesus wasn't just teaching about waiting- He was teaching about preparation. 

Have you ever prayed about the same thing for so long that you almost feel embarrassed to bring it up again? In this episode, we look at Jesus' teaching on bold, persistent prayer- from the friend knocking at midnight to the persistent widow- and what it means when hope feels tired, prayers feel repetitive, and you're tempted to stop asking. 

Maybe your midnight prayers are more welcome than you think.

Why did Jesus speak in parables?

Not just to explain truth… but to hide it.

In Matthew 13, Jesus reveals that parables don’t just make things clearer—they actually separate those who are ready to see from those who aren’t.

In this episode, we unpack why that matters, and how the parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price reveal something deeper:

The Kingdom isn’t just valuable…

it’s worth everything.

Have you ever felt like you’re stuck… circling the same issues, the same thoughts, the same patterns?

In this episode, we talk about something we don’t always like to name directly — unbelief.

Not just doubt, but the kind of unbelief that quietly shapes what we expect, how we pray, and whether we truly believe God will move in our lives.

Scripture shows us that unbelief isn’t small — it can actually keep us from stepping into what God has promised. We see it in Hebrews, and even in the Gospels, where Jesus didn’t do many miracles because of the people’s unbelief.

At the root of it, unbelief often points to something deeper:

a disconnect in how we truly know God as Father.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, this episode will challenge you to look at what you’re agreeing with — and invite you to start walking in trust again.

Some of the most dangers spiritual movements didn't begin by rejecting the Bible- they began by slowly redinfing what it meant. 

In this episode, we look at how theat actually happens. From well known groups to more subtle examples, there are patterns that show up again and again, isolated verses, "special revelation", and authority quietly shifting away from scripture. 

When you leanr to recognize these patterns, you grow in confidence, not just in what you believe, but in how you handle the Word for yourself.
