In this deeply personal and long-awaited Mother’s Day episode of In Totality, I sit down with one of the most important people in my life - my mom. 

This conversation is raw, honest, and full of the kind of love only a mother and daughter can share. We open up about our journey together - how my mom came to know Jesus, how our relationship has evolved over the years, and the very real struggles we’ve faced as a family. I share openly about my battles with mental health, and my mom shares how she leaned on the Lord’s strength and wisdom to walk with me through some of the darkest moments of my life. 

 This is a story of faith, perseverance, and the kind of love that covers even the hardest seasons. Whether you’re a mother, daughter, or someone in the middle of your own healing journey, I pray this conversation brings you hope and reminds you that God truly meets us in every valley.

In this week’s episode of In Totality, I’m back with my dear friends, CD and Melody Fabien, for Part II of our powerful conversation on purity, obedience, and trusting God in the waiting. If Part I stirred something in your spirit, this next part goes even deeper.

We’re talking about what it really looks like to walk out a set-apart relationship—one that honors God even when it’s countercultural. From setting boundaries to choosing obedience over ease, this couple shares how their faith shaped their love story beyond just waiting for marriage.

I pray this episode encourages you to lean into God’s process, even when it feels slow or misunderstood. He’s not just preparing the promise—He’s preparing you for the promise.

If you’re in a season of waiting, dating with intention, or learning how to surrender your timeline to God, this one’s for you.

When God writes your love story, it looks different from the world’s version — and it’s worth the wait.

In today’s episode of In Totality, I sit down with two of my dear friends, a married couple whose very first kiss was at the altar on their wedding day. We talk about their individual journeys of salvation, the seasons of preparation God led them through, and the faith it took to trust Him every step of the way.

Their story is powerful, but it’s important to remember: while this may not be exactly what God is specifically calling you to do in your waiting season, He is calling all of us to live lives of obedience, faith, and consecration.

We dive deep into what it means to honor God not just in dating, but in every part of our walk with Christ. If you’ve ever wondered if it’s still possible to live set apart in relationships today, this conversation will remind you: it is, and it’s beautiful.

Whether you’re single, dating, or already married, I pray this episode encourages you to trust God's timing, obey His leading, and believe that His plans for you are better than anything you could write on your own.

When my son was diagnosed with autism at age two—and later with Fragile X syndrome—I entered a kind of grief I wasn’t prepared for. It wasn’t loud or dramatic. It was quiet, slow, and deeply sacred. It was the grief of letting go of the life I imagined and learning to embrace the one God was writing.

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the pain, surrender, and beauty that come with raising a child with special needs while clinging to faith in Jesus. I talk about the silent ache of broken expectations, the sacredness of honest lament, and the unexpected closeness of God in the middle of it all.

Grief doesn’t always come from death—it often comes from the loss of an idea, a dream, or a version of life we thought we’d have. But even there, God is present. Even in our most unspoken sorrows, He is faithful. And even when healing doesn’t look the way we hoped, He still gets the glory.

If you’ve ever carried a grief you didn’t choose, or wrestled with faith in the face of life’s hardest questions, this episode is for you. May it remind you that you’re not alone—and that hope still lives here, too.

In this episode of In Totality, I’m talking about what it means to truly live as a sacrifice for God.

As Christians, we love the idea of purpose, calling, and blessing, but what about surrender? What about the moments when obedience costs you relationships, opportunities, reputation—or comfort? Scripture tells us to offer our lives as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God… but are we really willing to endure suffering and persecution for His name’s sake?

Whether your walk with Christ means walking away from what’s easy, what’s popular, or what makes sense to the world — it’s worth it! If you’ve ever wrestled with obedience when it’s hard, or felt the weight of standing firm in your faith, this conversation is for you!

Tune in and be reminded: He is worthy of it all!

In this episode of In Totality, I had the pleasure of speaking with Carl Lentz for a vulnerable, honest, and meaningful conversation about grace, redemption, and what a renewed faith looks like.

This is Carl’s first time on the podcast, and we didn’t hold back. We talked about the power of God’s correction, and the process of rebuilding faith, and what it means to live fully dependent on God — even in the private, hidden places too.

If you’ve ever felt disqualified, distant, or unsure of how to move forward with your faith, I pray this episode reminds you: God still calls, covers, and invites us to walk with Him toward wholeness.

Have you ever felt on fire in your faith, only to wake up one day and feel like God is distant? I know I have. It can be confusing, discouraging, and even a little scary. But here’s what I’ve learned—these shifts aren’t random. They’re part of the faith journey.

In this episode of In Totality, I’m diving into the spiritual cycles of consolation and desolation—those seasons when God feels incredibly close and those when He seems silent. Why does He allow these shifts? What is He teaching us in them? And how do we keep trusting Him when we don’t feel Him?

I want to remind you: God is just as present in the silence. If you’ve been walking through a dry season, questioning where God is, or just trying to hold onto faith when things feel uncertain, this episode is for you! Tune in now!

In this week’s episode of In Totality, I’m joined by a very special guest, host of The Leader's Cut podcast, Preston Morrison! I’m so excited for you guys to listen in as we dive into what it really means to walk the narrow path as a follower of Christ. Choosing to live for God isn’t always easy — it requires our obedience, willingness to sacrifice, and a personal commitment to knowing His Word. Together, we’ll discuss how to stay rooted in truth when the world tries to pull you in different directions, and what it means to live your life as a daily sacrifice for the Lord.

I pray this conversation encourages you to stay faithful, knowing that the narrow path — while challenging — leads to the fullness of life that only Jesus can give.

If you’ve ever felt the tension of trying to honor God in a world that doesn’t always understand, this conversation is for you!

In this episode of In Totality, I share how stepping away from podcasting exposed where my trust in the Lord actually was… and where my pride had been hiding. I had to confront the uncomfortable reality that I was leaning more on my own strength than on God’s strength.

Through fasting and prayer, seeking His face daily, and surrendering to His way, I learned that faith isn’t just believing in God—it’s trusting Him completely, with everything, even when it's hard to do.

If you’ve ever struggled with self-reliance, or the fear of letting go of control, this episode is for you!
