This week, we’re slowing down to talk about something we all need but rarely make time for, rest. From the very beginning, God modeled rest in creation, and Jesus invites us to find true rest for our souls in Him. In this episode, we’ll explore what the Bible really says about rest, why it matters for our spiritual and mental health, and how embracing stillness can actually bring us closer to God.Whether you’ve been running on empty or just need a reminder that rest is not laziness, it’s obedience. This episode will encourage you to pause, breathe, and remember that your worth isn’t found in your work, but in His presence.

Hello Everyone! On today's episode, join my is Osaka Japan. I discuss that despite our differences we are all apart of the body of Christ and we all belong to him! I also talk about the beauty this world holds and how it relates to the creation of me and you!

Prayer can feel complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. In this podcast, we talk about what it really means to pray — where to start, how to pray for others, and how prayer strengthens our relationship with God. We’ll dig into how prayer changes things, including us, and how it can become a natural part of everyday life. Whether you’re just beginning or looking to grow deeper, this is a space to explore prayer in a real and relatable way.

What do you say to yourself when no one else is listening? In this episode, we dive into the power of self-talk, how the words we speak over ourselves can either lift us up or tear us down. Through Scripture and real-life reflection, we’ll explore how to replace negative thoughts with God’s truth and start speaking life from the inside out.

Loss is something we all face, and it doesn’t always come with answers we can understand. In this episode, I share encouragement from Scripture about how God is near to the brokenhearted and how it’s okay to grieve. The Bible reminds us that even Jesus wept, showing us that our tears are not a sign of weakness but a part of healing. If you’re walking through a season of loss, may these words remind you that you’re not alone and that God’s presence is with you in the middle of the pain.

Waiting is never wasted when it’s partnered with preparation. In this episode, we explore the importance of getting ready in the seasons when it feels like nothing is happening. From Esther, who was positioned in the palace “for such a time as this,” to Joseph, whose years in prison prepared him to lead a nation, and David, who learned courage and faith in the fields before facing Goliath — Scripture shows us that God uses waiting seasons to strengthen us for what’s next.

We’ll dive into why preparation matters, how to steward the in-between, and what it looks like to actively wait with faith and obedience. If you’re in a season of waiting, this conversation will remind you that God is working in the background, shaping you today for the doors He will open tomorrow.

In today’s episode, we’re exploring what it means to be a light in dark places. Scripture reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the powers of darkness (Ephesians 6:12). That’s why we’re called to put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:13–17) and clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and love (Colossians 3:12–14). In a time when the world feels heavy, God equips us to stand firm in truth and to shine with His light. I’ll share how we can live with love and kindness even in dark times, and why choosing to reflect Christ’s light is one of the most powerful testimonies we can give.

Prayer can feel small at times, like a single drop of water in an empty bucket. But every prayer matters, and every drop adds up. In this episode, we talk about the power of consistent prayer, even when it feels like nothing is changing. You never know which prayer will be the one that causes your bucket to overflow with God’s blessings, answers, and peace.

It’s easy to get caught up in what people think of us, but the truth is only God’s judgment matters. In this episode, we dive into what Scripture says about judgment, why we aren’t called to sit in the judge’s seat over others, and how to live free from the weight of other people’s opinions. When we remember that God alone is the ultimate judge, we find the freedom to walk confidently in who He’s called us to be.

Forgiveness is never easy, it asks us to let go of hurt, pride, and even the right to be angry. Yet, as followers of Christ, we are called to forgive and pursue peace, just as God has forgiven us. In this episode, we talk about the challenges of forgiveness, why it matters for our spiritual health, and how choosing grace can bring freedom and healing.
