This episode is extra special because I’m sitting down with my pastor, mentor, coach, and friend, Jason Miller, lead pastor at Zion in Clear Lake, Iowa.

Jason and his wife have become a huge part of Mike and my journey since we found the Lord, and I’m so grateful for the friendship, guidance, and wisdom they’ve brought into our lives.

We cover A LOT in this conversation — from Islam and what Christians need to understand, to faith, leadership, burnout, and why if you feel like you need to give something up because you’re overwhelmed, the church shouldn’t be the first thing you walk away from.

We also talk about a new project we’re working on called “Soul Gym.” The idea is simple: just like we train our bodies, we need to intentionally train our souls. We’re creating practical, daily practices that you can work into your everyday life to help strengthen you spiritually, mentally, and personally — with the hope of building a healthier future generation along the way.

And yes… there’s a funny story behind this episode. 😂

This is actually our SECOND recording. The first time around, Jason’s microphone wasn’t on. 🤦‍♀️😂 But honestly, that conversation had SO much good information that we’re going to release it as a bonus episode, so you’ll get even more from our conversation.

This episode is full of faith, laughs, hard conversations, encouragement, and a whole lot of real life.

I hope you’ll listen, share it with someone who needs it, and follow along as we continue building Soul Gym together.

Today on Messy but Motivated, I’m sharing my testimony again.

I know I’ve shared my story before, but I believe there are people who need to hear it again—and maybe there are people who need to hear it for the very first time.

I was the girl who used drugs and alcohol to numb pain and cover up what was really going on inside. From the outside, nobody knew. I could hide it well. But God saw everything.

And God didn’t leave me there.

He broke chains I never thought I could escape, changed my life, and showed me what it really means to be free.

My prayer is that sharing my story reminds you that your past does not disqualify you from being used by God. Your testimony could be the very thing God uses to reach someone else.

If God has brought you through something, don’t be afraid to tell your story.

What does it actually mean to have wisdom?

Wisdom isn’t simply about reading the Bible, memorizing Scripture, or knowing what God’s Word says. True biblical wisdom happens when we meditate on the Word, learn to see life through God’s perspective, and actually live out what He has taught us.

In this episode of Messy But Motivated, we’re talking about what it looks like to pursue wisdom in everyday life—how we think, how we respond, how we make decisions, and how we navigate the messy situations life throws at us.

Because knowing Scripture is one thing. Allowing Scripture to transform the way you live is another.

Let’s talk about how we can stop simply reading the Word and start living with the wisdom of God.

In today’s episode of Messy But Motivated, we’re having an uncomfortable conversation about what we’re putting our faith in.

I’m talking about crystals, “the universe,” and why we can’t expect to hear clearly from God while continuing to look elsewhere for our guidance, protection, peace, and answers. If we say we follow Jesus, He has to be more than an option we turn to when everything else fails.

I’m also addressing something I’ve heard from people who feel like I talk more about the consequences of our choices than I do about God’s grace.

And here’s the truth: God’s grace is incredible—but grace doesn’t mean our actions have no consequences.

There are plenty of people in ministry who will make everything sound comfortable, soften the hard truths, and tell you exactly what you want to hear. I’m not here to butter it up for you. I’m here to point you back to Scripture—even when the truth steps on our toes.

This episode is about conviction, obedience, repentance, grace, and remembering who we are actually putting our trust in.

If this message challenges you, maybe that’s exactly what it was supposed to do. ❤️‍🔥

Messy But Motivated — because following Jesus isn’t always comfortable, but it is always worth it.

This bonus episode is one of the most personal I’ve ever recorded.

Lately, spiritual warfare hasn’t just been something I’ve been teaching about—it’s something my family has been living through. I share how, when I stood firm in my faith, it felt like the enemy shifted his attack toward my husband, Mike. If you’ve ever watched someone you love struggle while feeling helpless, this episode is for you.

I also talk about Perez Hilton and why I believe we often misidentify spiritual battles as something else. When we take our eyes off Jesus, we become vulnerable to the enemy’s lies. But the good news is that Jesus has already won the victory.

We’ll dive into what Scripture says about spiritual warfare, why the armor of God is our protection, and why we must remember who fights beside us. The armor God gives us is not fragile—it is strong, steadfast, and sufficient for every battle we face.

If you’ve been feeling attacked, discouraged, or exhausted, I pray this episode reminds you that you are not fighting alone. Stand firm. Keep your eyes on Jesus. The battle is real, but so is the victory we have in Christ.

In today’s episode of Messy But Motivated, I’m opening up about some of my own failures—the moments I wanted to quit, the setbacks that hurt, and how God taught me to turn those failures into fuel instead of excuses.

We’ll also look at the greatest example of perseverance: Jesus. He endured rejection, betrayal, suffering, and the cross because He knew what was on the other side. If He didn’t quit on us, we shouldn’t quit on the purpose He’s placed on our lives.

If you’ve been discouraged, feeling behind, or wondering if it’s worth continuing, this episode is for you. Your story isn’t over. God isn’t finished with you yet.

In this week’s episode of Messy But Motivated, I’m opening up about some of the spiritual warfare I’ve been walking through lately and why I believe the enemy works so hard to keep us silent.

We talk about the incredible importance of sharing your testimony—not because we have it all together, but because God uses our messy stories to point people to Him. Someone out there needs to hear what the Lord has brought you through.

I also share why having a strong church community isn’t optional. We were never meant to fight spiritual battles alone, and surrounding yourself with other believers can make all the difference when life gets heavy.

This episode also touches on a deeply personal subject: my relationship with my dad. It’s not an easy conversation, but it’s one the Lord has continually placed on my heart to share. We’ll discuss how our earthly fathers can shape the way we view our Heavenly Father—and why God’s love remains perfect, even when our earthly experiences aren’t.

This week on Messy But Motivated, my sister-in-law Kimberly joins me for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had. She opens up about walking through unimaginable loss—the deaths of her mother and brother, while also navigating our father’s mental illness.

Instead of allowing grief to define her, Kimberly shares how leaning into her faith in Jesus gave her the strength to keep moving forward. We talk about heartbreak, unanswered questions, finding hope in the darkest seasons, and what it looks like to trust God when life doesn’t make sense.

If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your faith through suffering, this episode is for you.

During this episode, I also share how you can help grow the Messy But Motivated podcast. If these conversations have encouraged you, consider supporting us through my Buy Me a Coffee page.

Have you ever prayed, “God, I just wish You would tell me what to do,” only to feel like you’re hearing nothing?

In this episode of Messy But Motivated, I’m talking about a truth that changed my perspective: God is often speaking long before we realize He’s been guiding us.

We’ll dive into how God uses unexpected signs, other people, Scripture, closed doors, and even seasons of discomfort to lead us exactly where He wants us. Sometimes the very hardships we’re asking Him to remove are the things He’s using to draw us closer to Him.

If you’ve been wondering whether God hears your prayers, questioning His direction for your life, or feeling stuck waiting for an answer, this episode is for you. You may not be lost—you may simply be learning to recognize the Shepherd’s voice.

Let’s talk about how God guides His children, even when we don’t realize He’s been leading us all along.

In this week’s episode of Messy But Motivated, we’re having an honest conversation about  laziness, the slow drift that happens when we stop prioritizing the things we need to do that’ll get us closer to our goals. Sometimes it doesn’t happen all at once. We get busy, distracted, or comfortable, and before we know it, we’re going days without working towards what we had been praying for. 

I share my own thoughts on what spiritual laziness looks like.

Let’s get honest, get encouraged, and get motivated to pursue what we’ve been praying for with our whole hearts.
