In this episode of Life After Sunday, we talk about what intimacy with God actually looks like — from simply knowing about Him to developing a deep, life-changing closeness with Him. We walk through the four stages of intimacy (acquaintance, friendship, family, and spousal-level unity), share our own stories, and talk about how distractions, shame, and busyness can hold us back from knowing God more deeply.

If you’re longing for a closer relationship with God or wondering how to draw near to Him in your everyday life, this episode will encourage and challenge you.

Ever feel like God is silent, distant, or not paying attention? In today’s episode of Life After Sunday: The Midweek Mic, we talk honestly about emotions, fear, anxiety, and what to do when your feelings make you believe things that aren’t true.

We look at Scripture, real-life moments from our week, and practical steps to abide instead of spiral.
God hasn’t left you. Your feelings aren’t your master. And you’re more loved than you realize. ❤️

This week we look at the “ancient tactics” the enemy used in Genesis—and still uses today. From spiraling thoughts to trying to fix life on our own, we share how to recognize the pattern, reject the lies, and return to God for real peace. A vulnerable, encouraging conversation for anyone who feels stuck in their own head.

on Life After Sunday: The Midweek Mic, we’re talking about the power of testimony — why your story matters, why it needs to be heard, and how God uses real-life breakthrough to build faith in the people around us.

Sunday’s message included a powerful testimony (which isn’t ours to share), but it opened the door for this conversation about shame breaking, healing, and the purpose God brings out of the hardest parts of our lives.

We walk through how testimonies:
• break the power of shame,
• turn our pain into purpose,
• and build faith in us and in others.

From the woman at the well, to the blind man Jesus healed, to the testimonies happening right in our church today — we talk about why sharing what God has done is one of the most powerful tools we have.

Whether you think your story is “too small,” still being written, or hard to talk about… this episode reminds you: you do have a testimony, and God wants to use it.

New episodes weekly — and yes, Testimony Tuesday is coming back soon!

This week we’re talking about the walls we build to survive — and what happens when God starts knocking them down to bring peace instead.

I opened up about some real stuff this time… old trauma, anxiety, control — the kind of things we hold onto thinking they’re protecting us. But the truth is, they’re keeping us from the peace God’s been trying to give us.

Sometimes we pray for peace but won’t let go of the walls we built to stay safe. This one’s honest, a little messy, but real.

🎧 Tune in to Life After Sunday: The Midweek Mic and let’s talk about what it looks like to stop surviving and start trusting again.

This week, We are celebrating 13 years of marriage and talking about something that every believer wrestles with — how to hear God’s voice.

How do you know if it’s really Him speaking? How do you tell the difference between God’s voice, your own thoughts, and the enemy’s whispers? We dive into all of it — from the Bible, to real-life stories, to those quiet moments when God speaks in unexpected ways.

We also share how we personally listen, what journaling has taught us, and why knowing Scripture is the key to recognizing His voice in your everyday life.

It’s real, it’s honest, and hopefully it helps you slow down and tune your ear to the One who’s always speaking.

This one got real. Forgiveness isn’t easy — especially when you feel justified in being angry, or when the pain keeps coming back. We talked about how forgiveness isn’t always a one-time thing… sometimes you have to forgive over and over as God keeps healing your heart.

We dug into what it really means to forgive like Jesus — not because the person deserves it, but because you don’t want to live trapped by what they did.

In this episode of Life After Sunday: The Midweek Mic, we talk about how God’s love exposes the lie — the lie that we can live apart from Him or define truth on our own. From creation to the cross, we see how God’s love didn’t just save us; it revealed the truth about who He is and who we are meant to be.

We unpack how faith proves God right every day, how the accuser’s lie still shows up in modern life, and why real freedom only comes from staying connected to the Source.

📖 Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 13:12, Psalm 46:10
🙏 Topics: faith, truth, God’s love, creation, the cross, spiritual growth
