Growing Through It

This one’s personal. I’ve been asked how I healed from childhood trauma and the truth is, I’m still healing. I haven’t “arrived,” and maybe I never fully will this side of Heaven. But what I’ve learned is this: God doesn’t wait for us to be whole to walk with us. He meets us in the wound.

In this episode, I open up about what it looks like to follow Jesus while still bleeding. I talk about the thorn in my side, how God’s word taught me to lament, and the power of being honest with God when life still hurts. If you’ve ever felt like you had to be “over it” to be used by God, I pray this reminds you: you don’t have to be healed to be held. God sees you, He’s with you, and He will get the glory, even through your thorn.

Have you ever said "yes" when everything in you was saying "no" just because you were scared of disappointing someone, scared of not being liked? Same. And honestly... it’s exhausting.

Today, we’re getting real about people-pleasing and how, for so long, we labeled it as "kindness" or "love," when really, it was fear wearing a mask. Fear of rejection. Fear of not being enough.

But here’s the hope: Jesus never called us to live for approval, He called us to live in freedom. In this episode, we’re talking about how Jesus set the precedent: obedience over being liked. And how learning to walk in that truth changes everything. 

If you’re tired of living for everyone else’s opinions… this one’s for you.

This one’s a little different. It’s not a typical episode… it’s more of a pause.

I really felt the Holy Spirit tugging on me to just stop and remember what Jesus did. Not just on Good Friday, but every day — because this story is still changing lives.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and sit with the love of a God who didn’t stay distant, but stepped into our mess. Who chose the cross — not because He had to, but because He wanted to.

It’s not just a story about pain.
 It’s a love story.
 And it’s for you.

Whenever you’re listening — today, next week, or months from now, this is your reminder: He came close. He stayed. And He’s not finished yet.

Today’s episode is a big sister Q&A — just real, honest girl talk about the things we all wonder but don’t always say out loud. We’re talking about losing friendships in your 20’s, struggling with lust as a Christian girl, trusting God in waiting seasons, dealing with insecurity, making the first move in dating, and even how to start reading your Bible. I’ve missed you guys so much, and it feels so good to sit down and just talk again. My heart for this episode is that you leave feeling seen, encouraged, and reminded that God cares about every detail of your life — even the messy parts. 

Hebrews 10:24-25
"And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together... but encouraging one another."

Would you still listen to this episode if it had nothing to do with you… but everything to do with God? We live in a world that constantly asks, "What can God do for me?" But what if faith wasn’t about what we get, but about who He is? What if we stopped making our relationship with God a transaction and started making it a posture, one of surrender, trust, and devotion? 

This episode isn’t about us. It’s about Him. I want to challenge you today: What would your life look like if it was truly less of you and more of God? If you pursued Him, not for blessings, but because He is worthy? If you found contentment in Him alone, even if He never gave you another thing?

Because the truth is, we’ve already been given everything through Jesus.

In this episode, we’re talking about how to discern God’s voice, because the Bible makes it clear—He speaks to all of His children, including you. We’ll dive into the different ways God communicates and what it means when He feels silent.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV):

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

Do you ever catch yourself scrolling, comparing, and thinking, “If only I had what they do”? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re getting real about grass is greener syndrome — the constant pursuit of “better” that leaves us feeling stuck and ungrateful. Whether it’s relationships, career, or just life in general, this mindset can steal your joy and disconnect you from what God has for you right now. We’ll break down the symptoms, share biblical truth and talk about how to stop chasing “perfect” and start living content. Let’s shift our focus and reclaim our peace in Jesus. 

"I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation." 
Philippians 4:12
