Hey Guys! This week’s episode is extra close to my heart because I’m joined by someone I know y’all are going to love hearing from — Jordan is on the couch with me! What started as just working together has turned into something so much deeper — she’s truly become family. Our story is one of grief, friendship, discipleship, and the kind of connection that only comes when God brings two people together for His purpose.

Whether you're a young Christian trying to walk with Jesus, someone who cares for a loved one with special needs, or if you’ve been searching for real, Christ-centered community — this episode is for YOU. We talk about how our friendship reflects Ruth & Naomi’s story, following Jesus in your 20s — when it’s hard, awkward, or unpopular, caring for someone with special needs while still trusting God’s plan, and how God can use us in our own families and networks to spread the gospel and make disciples.

This one is full of God’s faithfulness, and the kind of joy that only comes through the journey. I’m so grateful for Jordan and I can’t wait for y’all to hear her heart! Share this episode with someone who needs encouragement in their walk, their wait, or their relationships.

Tune In Now!

“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” - Luke 9:23

In this episode, I’m diving into something the Lord has been pressing on my heart: Jesus didn’t call us to comfort, he called us to carry a cross.

I share a story that started off as a fun little birthday bike ride… and turned into a full-blown sermon from the Holy Spirit. What I thought would be an easy, scenic trip ended up showing me so much about the reality of the Christian walk, it’s not easy, and it’s not supposed to be.

If you’ve ever felt tired, or caught off guard by how hard following Jesus can be, I want you to know, you’re not alone!

This week I sat down with Norris Johnson III and we talked about what it really looks like to serve God when you’re spiritually empty, and how the Acts 2:42 conference became a turning point for him, a moment where the Lord met him in the middle of burnout and reignited the fire he thought he’d lost.

As we unpacked his journey, we dug deep into what it means to die to self and to truly walk in sonship instead of striving to be used by God. We also explored the weighty call to be a “living sacrifice” like Romans 12 teaches, the danger of blending culture with Christianity, and how sometimes God will protect us from the very blessings we’re not ready to carry. This episode doesn’t just inspire, it challenges and calls us back to the altar.

Hey fam! In this week's episode, I’m diving into one of the most meaningful parables to me, the story of the Prodigal Son.

Lately, I’ve been studying Luke 15 and reading through The Prodigal God by Timothy Keller with my Village community on Patreon & the Lord has been showing me how easy is is to either run from Him or try to earn His love, and how both can lead us far from the Father’s heart.

Whether you’re like the younger son who wanders off or the older son in the field, I pray this conversation helps you see just how deeply God loves you, and how near He wants us to be.

What if worship isn’t just what you sing… but how you live? In this week's episode I sat down with my dear friend and fellow podcaster, Pastor Ebenezer Endiryas, for a conversation that deeply challenged me, and I believe it’s going to do the same for you. We unpack what Romans 12 really means when it says to present your body as a living sacrifice. That’s not just poetic language, that’s a call to daily obedience. And let’s be honest, real obedience doesn’t always feel good. Sometimes it looks like saying “yes” when no one sees it, and when it costs you something you love.

Let this be a reminder. God is after your heart, not your highlight reel.

Welcome back fam! This week Jackie Hill Perry joins me again for part two of our podcast. In this episode we’re talking about Christian content creation, conviction, repentance, and what it looks like to stay faithful to God, even when the algorithm is loud. We also discuss why some content might be getting clicks but isn’t making disciples, the temptation to chase platforms instead of the presence of God, and the difference between strategy and surrender. I pray this episode encourages you, and draws you closer to the Lord!

This week on In Totality, I’m joined by one of my best friends and someone I deeply admire - Jackie Hill Perry. This conversation is one of those that stays with you. We went deep into what it really means to surrender, not just in the big ways, but in the quiet, hidden corners of our hearts, letting God touch on the places we try to hide-- where pride, fear, or even self-protection still live.

We talk about the kind of hunger that leads to holiness — the kind that comes when we deny ourselves and draw near to God in intimacy, even through something as simple (but hard) as fasting. If you’re tired of glossing over your heart and ready to let God examine every hidden corner, this conversation is for you!

This episode is one of the most honest ones I’ve shared. Over the past month, I’ve felt the weight of the Lord’s discipline, and not in a way that pushed me away, but in a way that pulled me back to truth.

I was in a rut. I was complaining, easily offended, and frustrated with God,but what He showed me was deeper than my emotions. He showed me that I had stopped guarding my heart (Proverbs 4:23), and because of that, pride, bitterness, and cynicism were sneaking in quietly.

In this episode, I’m talking about what it really looks like to guard your heart not just from toxic people or outside voices, but from your own thoughts, offense, and the lies that subtly disconnect you from God.

This isn’t just about discipline - it’s about intimacy. It’s about letting God confront what’s trying to corrupt you and choosing closeness with Him over comfort.

If you’ve been feeling dry, defensive, or distant from God - this one’s for you.

My friend, Hayley Mulenda & I sit down to unpack what God’s been teaching both of us-- discomfort is a discipline, and avoiding it might be the very thing holding us back from intimacy with him. 

Today, we live in a world where everything is designed for speed and convenience. Amazon delivers in hours, food shows up at our door, and even spirituality seems available at the click of a button, but when it comes to following Jesus there are no shortcuts. 

In this episode, Hayley shares how a health scare forced her into a season of total dependence on God, and I talk about how the Lord is looking for even more intimacy with us in this time, and what it’s like to feel stretched by the weight of the calling. If you feel like God is requiring an increase in intimacy and dependence on Him, this one's for you!

The past several weeks have been a lot! Multiple car accidents (yes, including a deer collision), parenting chaos and disappointments that hit me hard. I found myself frustrated, exhausted, and honestly asking God: “Why is this happening?”

But in the middle of the mess, the Lord impressed something powerful on my heart:

“I’m not trying to destroy you. I’m trying to weaken you.”
