In this episode, I share the most transformative season of my life, one marked by deep healing, unexpected breakthroughs, and a freedom I didn’t know was possible. Over the past year, God has walked me through layers of hurt, hidden wounds, and long-carried lies, gently leading me toward a freedom that isn’t earned but received. From the first Freedom Conference, to Revival Nights, to a moment of unexpected obedience in the baptism tub, this has been a journey of learning what it truly means to walk in the love and sonship of Jesus.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns you can’t shake, distant from God, or weighed down by your past, this episode is an invitation. Freedom isn’t fragile, and it’s not reserved for the spiritually strong, it’s for anyone willing to bring their hidden places into the light. My prayer is that as you listen, you’ll see the God who breaks chains, heals old wounds, and walks with us one step at a time into the life He’s always had for us.

Most Christians today are spiritually malnourished but don't even know it. We've become content with spiritual "snacking"—quick prayers, rushed devotionals, Sunday services—while our souls slowly starve for genuine encounter with God.

This episode confronts the uncomfortable reality: when did you last feel so desperately hungry for God that you couldn't focus on anything else? Drawing from David's deer-panting prayers and Jesus's agonizing intercession, we explore what authentic spiritual hunger looks like and why the modern church has lost it.

Discover how the flesh systematically kills our appetite for God, why comfortable Christianity is spiritually deadly, and practical steps to cultivate the holy desperation that transforms prayer from duty to lifeline. We'll examine the biblical examples of believers who hungered for God with life-altering intensity and challenge you to honest self-examination about your own spiritual priorities.

This isn't comfortable listening—it's a wake-up call for anyone settling for spiritual mediocrity. If your spiritual life feels routine or powerless, this episode reveals what you've been missing and how to pursue the soul-satisfying relationship with God you were created for.

Feeling lonely in a crowded room? You're not alone. In this episode, we explore the difference between being connected and truly belonging—and why so many of us feel isolated despite being more "connected" than ever. Discover how to move beyond surface-level relationships to build the kind of authentic community your soul is craving. We'll unpack practical steps for vulnerability, the biblical foundation for community, and why taking the risk to be truly known might be the most important thing you do this year.

Have you ever prayed and felt like God didn’t answer? Like your words went out into the air and disappeared? In this episode, we dive into the honest question so many of us wrestle with: Does God actually hear me? We’ll look at stories from Scripture — like David, Job, and Hannah — who felt forgotten but were actually being formed. I’ll share a personal story about a moment I asked God for reassurance… and how He answered me in a way I never expected (hint: it involved a semi-truck). If you’re in a season of silence, waiting, or doubt — this episode is for you. God isn’t ignoring you. He’s closer than you think, and His kindness often shows up in the small things — if we’ll slow down enough to see it.

Is following Jesus comfortable for you? If we’re honest, many of us would rather stay in places that feel safe, familiar, and under control. But Jesus never called us to a life of ease—He called us to a life of surrender.

In this episode, I wrestle with what it means to step out of our comfort zones and truly follow Christ—even when it costs us something. From Scripture to personal stories, we’ll explore how God uses discomfort to grow our faith, and why the life we long for is often waiting just beyond what feels comfortable.

This one is honest, a little convicting, and deeply hopeful. Let’s talk about what it really means to say “yes” to Jesus—even when it’s hard.

In this episode, we explore a tension many of us quietly carry: Has busyness become our badge of honor, even in our faith? We often equate a packed schedule with spiritual maturity, but could our constant activity actually be a barrier to intimacy with God? Through Scripture, real-life reflections, and a fresh look at lesser-known biblical examples, we unpack how hurry can crowd out our relationship with Jesus—and what it looks like to reclaim stillness, margin, and deeper connection. If you’ve ever felt spiritually dry despite being “busy for God,” this conversation is for you.

Ever find yourself praying, "God, I trust You," while secretly clinging to your own plans? In this honest and reflective episode, we dive into the tension between faith and control. I share personal stories, biblical insights, and tough heart questions that have challenged me to ask: Am I truly following God, or just looking for control? We explore why surrender is so difficult, what trust really looks like, and how letting go can actually lead to deeper peace and freedom. If you’ve ever struggled with waiting, decision-making, or releasing outcomes to God, this conversation is for you. Join me as we unpack what it means to follow Jesus wholeheartedly – not just in word, but with a surrendered heart.

We say the Gospel is the most urgent, life-changing news in the world—but do our lives reflect that urgency? In this episode, I get honest about the gap between what I believe and how I live. Through personal stories from Kid’s Ministry (including a lesson learned in a sloth costume), I explore what it really means to live with Gospel urgency—not by rushing faster, but by slowing down enough to love people well.

We’ll look at how Jesus modeled this kind of urgency—pausing for the hurting, taking detours for the lost, and always choosing people over pace. If you’ve ever felt the tension between busyness and calling, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about how the Gospel moves from words into action, and how small moments of presence can lead to eternal impact.

It’s easy to know about Jesus—to memorize verses, go to church, and say the right things. But does that mean we truly know Him? In this message, we dive into the story of Nicodemus in John 3, where Jesus challenges a religious leader who had all the head knowledge but was missing something deeper.

Are we just going through the motions, or has our faith actually transformed our hearts? Jesus isn’t after religious performance—He wants a real relationship with us. Let’s talk about what it means to move from head knowledge to heart knowledge and why it changes everything.

Is your faith just information—or true transformation?

Why do we crave approval so deeply? Why do we hesitate to speak truth, adjust our behavior to fit in, or replay conversations in our minds, wondering if we measured up? The pursuit of validation is exhausting—an endless cycle of striving, fearing rejection, and feeling like we’re never enough. But what if we’re chasing something that was never meant to define us?

In this episode, we explore the weight of human approval, the dangers of living for people’s validation, and the unshakable security found in Christ. Paul’s warning in Colossians 2 reminds us not to be led astray by the shifting expectations of the world, but to stand firm in the truth of God’s Word. Because at the end of our lives, we won’t answer to a crowd—we’ll stand before the King.

So, why do we care so much about what others think? And why aren’t we caring more about what God thinks?
