Growing Through It

A lot of us are “locking in” this year, but what does that actually look like with God?

Especially when faith doesn’t feel intense anymore… when you’re still showing up, but you don’t always feel God the way everyone else says they do.

Every New Year, we hear messages that fire us up: “reset your faith”, “get back on track”, “go harder this time” but so often they don’t give us the tools to actually stay with God once the excitement fades.

This episode is about something deeper than motivation.

I talk about what happens when faith shifts from feelings to knowing. When the spiritual highs fade and Jesus invites you into something quieter, steadier, and more secure.

If you’ve been wondering whether you lost your fire or outgrew it, this conversation might bring a lot of peace.

This is about letting this be the year and the way you live the rest of your life where you and God stop going back and forth. Where your faith isn’t dependent on how you feel, but rooted in who He is.

Quiet doesn’t always mean distant. Sometimes it means you’re close enough to hear His voice.

Scriptures Mentioned

Hebrews 5:12-14 • 1 Kings 19:9-12

This episode is for the girl who’s becoming, but still surrounded by the things that shaped her wounds. The one who feels caught in the in-between season, the waiting season, where you’re no longer who you used to be, but you’re still not who you’re praying to become. It’s for the one who loves God, wants to heal, and is trying to grow, yet keeps finding herself triggered by the same family dynamics, the same emotions, the same questions.

It’s about that quiet fear that whispers, “If God is really working, why does this still hurt?” And the ache of becoming in public, without the space to fall apart quietly or figure things out unseen.

In this episode, I share how God met me right there, not after the healing, but inside the tension and gently reminded me that becoming often feels like breaking long before it ever feels like growth.

If you feel exposed, unfinished, and tired of being strong, you’re not alone. God sees you. 

Scriptures Mentioned

My heart is so full putting this together for you guys. I wish I had the words to explain how this community has held me, encouraged me, and changed me. It means everything to know that God has entrusted me with the sweetest, kindest listeners. Each of you are such a blessing in my life.

So I wanted to offer something small just to say thank you for being here, for listening, and for growing with me. I’m so honored that we’ve been able to do three giveaways already, and I pray God continues to use this community for His glory. Love you guys, from the bottom of my heart.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough for God, like no matter how much you pray, serve, or show up, it’s still never enough… this episode is for you.

We talk about that quiet pressure so many of us carry as Christians. The pressure to perform, to be “good,” to never fall short. Everyone online makes it look so easy… their routines, their faith, their peace and you start wondering, What am I missing? Why do I feel exhausted?

But what if God isn’t asking for perfection? What if He’s asking for presence?
In this episode, we unpack what it really means when Scripture says, “to obey is better than sacrifice.” We talk about fear, people-pleasing, burnout, and why God values mercy over performance.

This isn’t about doing more, it’s about drawing closer.Because you’re not a bad Christian. You’re just tired.And maybe… God’s been waiting for you to rest.

Everyone gets angry. We all see and go through things that frustrate us or make our blood boil. But, even if you don’t think you have “anger issues,” it’s still easy to let anger lead you into sin.

In today’s episode, Drew joins me to talk honestly about our own battles with anger. What it looked like before Christ, how it still shows up now, and what the Bible really says about how to be slow to anger.

We’re diving into real stories, real struggles, and the truth that God’s Word gives us to help control our anger before it controls us.

Let’s learn how to honor God with our emotions, not be ruled by them.

Scripture Mentioned:

James 1:19–20 • Proverbs 14:29 • Proverbs 29:11 • Exodus 34:6 • Psalm 103:8 • Ecclesiastes 7:9 • Proverbs 15:18 • Matthew 5:22 • Ephesians 4:26–27 • Colossians 3:8 • Proverbs 15:1 • Galatians 5:22–23 • Matthew 5:38–48

Have you ever felt like following Jesus makes you the “weird one” in the room? Like you’re left out of family gatherings, friend groups, or opportunities because of your faith? I’ve been there too.

While reading the Old Testament, I kept coming back to the Levites, the tribe God set apart to serve Him. They didn’t get land like everyone else, but God Himself was their portion. From the outside, it may have looked like they were missing out, but in reality, they had the greatest gift of all: closeness with God.

In this episode, we’ll talk about what that means for us today. The same presence that once rested on the Levites now lives in us through the Holy Spirit. So if you’ve been feeling lonely, misunderstood, or left out because of your faith, remember this: you’re not rejected, you’re chosen. You’re not cast out, you’re set apart.

Scripture: 

Deuteronomy 10:8–9 · 2 Samuel 6:6–7 · 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 · Galatians 6:2 · Numbers 1–2 · Leviticus 16

Feeling far from God lately? Maybe you’ve been distracted, maybe life feels heavy, or maybe you’ve just quietly drifted without even realizing it. This episode is a reminder that the same God who brought Israel out of Egypt is the same God who’s brought you out of your own Egypt….your heartbreak, your past maybe even just your old self. Forgetting Him is what pulls us further away, but remembering what He’s already done shifts everything.

 In this conversation, I talk about why we so easily drift from God and how to come back, what “fear of the Lord” really means (spoiler: it’s not about being scared), and how living in daily awareness of His presence changes us. If you’ve been feeling distant, this is for you. Come remember the God who never stopped pursuing you.

Welcome to Season 3! I’ve missed you guys so much!!

“I feel like I’m wasting my life.” If you’ve ever said that to yourself while scrolling, procrastinating, numbing out, or crying in secret, this episode is for you.

It’s for the person who cries on their birthday because she feels like another year passed them by.

For the dreamer who has a million ideas in their heart but feels too scared to take the first step.

For the one who’s tired of feeling stuck: spiritually, emotionally, mentally and doesn’t know how to move forward.

I know what it’s like to pray for a breakthrough, but refuse to move. To watch everyone else live the life you were called to live. 

This is the episode I wish I had when I was at my lowest. When I thought I had to wait for motivation instead of choosing obedience. When I forgot that God doesn’t just want to bless me, He wants to partner with me.

If you're tired of living on autopilot, shrinking back, hiding your gifts, or wondering if you’ve missed your moment... it’s time to show up.
Not perfect. Just present.
You’re not alone. And it’s not too late.

Fasting. It’s something we’ve all heard about… but I wonder how many of us truly understand it or have actually stepped into it?

The beautiful thing is, fasting isn’t just for “super spiritual” people or moments of crisis. It’s for all of us. Jesus said when you fast, not if. Fasting is one of the most powerful ways to draw close to God, hear His voice, and let Him work in your life in ways you didn’t expect.In this episode, I share what biblical fasting really is (and isn’t), how to start, and how it’s changed my walk with Jesus. I pray it encourages you to try, even if it just starts as one day, God will meet you there.
