Growing Up Kingdom

Ever feel your joy quietly slipping away—but you can’t put your finger on why? In this episode of Growing Up Kingdom, we unpack four silent joy-killers that sneak into your life and steal your peace: bitterness that roots itself in old hurts, a default mindset of negativity, the music you let shape your mood, and the trap of comparing your journey to everyone else’s highlight reel.This isn’t about piling on more guilt or pretending these things won’t hurt—it’s about shining light on what’s happening undercover and choosing a different path. Jesus offers real freedom and lasting joy that isn’t shaken by circumstances. Together, we’ll explore how to uproot bitterness through forgiveness, replace negativity with truth, find music that uplifts, and embrace your unique calling instead of measuring against others.Which of these joy-killers have you noticed sneaking into your life?

This week, I’m talking about something we don’t always admit out loud—how easy it is to say we have faith, but not actually live it. I’ve been there too, where what I believe doesn’t always match how I act. But real faith isn’t just words; it’s action. If you’ve been feeling disconnected, stagnant, or like your walk with God has lost momentum, this is for you.

In this episode of Growing Up Kingdom, I break down why faith without works is dead (James 2:17), how comfort can keep us stuck, and what it actually looks like to step out and live what you say you believe. No stage or spotlight needed—just obedience, courage, and the decision to move. Let’s grow in a faith that’s alive. If this speaks to you, like, comment, and share it with someone who needs it too.

I invite you to listen, share your thoughts, and join me on this journey of growing in faith and confidence.
