Lust isn’t just a “men’s issue” — and so many Christian women are silently struggling with shame, secrecy, and feeling alone.

In this honest episode, we unpack what the Bible really says about lust, the difference between conviction and shame, and how to pursue purity without fear or self-hatred.

If you’ve ever felt too embarrassed to talk about sexual struggles in church, this conversation is for you. 🤍

✨ In this episode:

- Lust affects women too, the lack of support and taboo around the topic in Christian circles

- The difference between lust & sexual immorality

- How shame keeps women silent

- What Scripture says about lust and love

- Practical ways to fight lust with grace & truth

- Why God’s love is greater than your struggle

This episode deeply challenged me personally, especially around procrastination, fear and perfectionism and it has been quite convicting!👀

Wrath vs Righteous Anger 🔥

Anger isn’t the problem—uncontrolled wrath is. In this episode, we break down the difference between explosive, self-centered rage and righteous, God-aligned anger.

From road rage to silent treatment, we explore how wrath shows up in everyday life, what’s happening in your brain when you’re triggered, and the real cost it has on your relationships, health, and spiritual life.

The good news? There’s a better way.

We talk about how to move from reaction to response by cultivating patience—a powerful, peaceful alternative that reflects God’s character.

Inside this episode:

• Why anger isn’t sinful—but wrath can be
• How your brain hijacks you in heated moments
• Subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs of wrath
• Simple, practical tools to pause and regain control
• How to grow patience in a fast, reactive world

Wrath is instant. Patience is powerful. Which one are you choosing?

Greed isn’t just about money— it’s the constant craving for more: more wealth, more power, more control, more validation… and it’s never satisfied.

In this episode, we explore how greed shows up in everyday life, often in subtle ways we don’t notice. 

From our attachment to money to our need for recognition, greed can quietly shape our choices, relationships, and sense of security.

The antidote to greed is generosity. When we shift from striving to trusting, and from taking to giving, we begin to experience true freedom and contentment.

Hope you enjoy!
