Episode 15: Becoming

Welcome to Pick Up The Phone Podcast!

In this episode, we’re talking about embracing the process of becoming—becoming who God has called you to be in every area of your life. This isn’t about perfection, but about progress, growth, and surrender. Everything from Season 1 has been preparing us for this moment—every lesson, every prayer, every challenge.

It’s time to walk boldly into your calling, not in your own strength, but by His grace alone. Becoming isn’t about striving—it’s about allowing God to shape you, refine you, and use your story for His glory.

We also dive into the importance of being true to who you are—wherever you are. Don’t perform, don’t hide, and don’t shrink. God wants the real you, not a curated version. And when you’re authentic, you don’t leave room for the enemy to creep in through cracks of compromise or comparison. 

Let’s talk about sealing every area of your life with truth, grace, and intentionality. Becoming is a process, but it's a holy one. You are becoming her. And it’s all Him. 

Let’s pick up the phone. Let’s answer the call.

Keep your connection on and your faith strong.

Episode 14: Prayer Isn’t That Deep... But It Changes Everything

Prayer isn’t complicated—but it’s far from meaningless. In this episode, we’re breaking down the idea that talking to God has to be deep, dramatic, or perfect to be powerful. It’s not about fancy words; it’s about real connection.

Sometimes we overthink it, waiting for the “right” moment or the “right” words—but what if prayer is simply starting a conversation and being honest with your Father? Because when we stop performing and start connecting, prayer becomes a lifeline, not a task.

If you’ve ever wondered if you're doing it right, this one’s for you. Let’s shift the perspective: prayer is simple, but it’s sacred.

Episode 13: Free to Forgive 

In this episode, we’re talking about something that many people wrestle -forgiveness.  Not the kind that expects an apology or reconciliation. We're talking about forgiveness that’s not about the other person at all. It’s about you. Your freedom. Your healing. Your assignment.

Unforgiveness is a weight we carry that delays destiny. And if we’re honest, sometimes we hold on because we feel justified in our pain. But the truth is— It’s a decision that has nothing to do with feelings and everything to do with obedience.

The Bible calls us to forgive because God knows what it costs us when we don’t. And when we submit to God, He equips us to carry out our earthly assignment without the chains of resentment, bitterness, or emotional bondage.

In this episode, we’re getting to the root of the matter—literally. We're talking about those hidden weeds in our hearts and minds that slowly grow and choke out what God is trying to produce in our lives. It’s not enough to just cut the surface—we have to dig deep and deal with what’s underneath.

Sometimes it’s unforgiveness. Sometimes it’s fear, pride, comparison, or wounds we haven’t even fully acknowledged. But whatever it is, it’s got to go. Because if we want to walk boldly in everything God has called us to—if we want to wear the full armor of God—we have to remove the things that keep us from putting it on in the first place.

Welcome to Pick Up The Phone Podcast! Let’s dig in.

Episode 11: Keep First Things First

In this episode, we’re diving into what it truly means to keep God first—especially when life starts moving fast, success is flowing, and distractions are everywhere. It’s easy to lose focus when everything seems to be going right, but that’s exactly when we need to anchor ourselves in God even more.

Keeping God first isn’t just a spiritual cliché—it’s the very strength that helps us drown out the negative noise, fight through mental battles, and stay grounded in truth. We talk about the importance of keeping a pure posture—checking our hearts, having the tough conversations with ourselves, and being honest about where we really stand.

Because we can't afford to operate just out of feelings or what we think we should be feeling. It's about allowing God’s presence to renew our minds and shift our mindset, so we can walk in clarity, purpose, and peace.

Welcome to Pick Up The Phone Podcast! Let’s get into it.

Keep your connection on and your faith strong.

Episode 10: The Cost of the Journey

In this episode, we explore the true cost of following Christ and what it means to embark on the Christian journey, regardless of the obstacles that may arise. Join Noel and I, as we have a candid conversation about the importance of accountability, having a strong community, and the decision to take that step of faith, no matter the challenges ahead.

We discuss the often-overlooked reality that living out the Christian faith comes at a price—whether it's sacrificing comfort, facing opposition, or the internal struggle of staying true to God’s calling. 

Choosing to walk the Christian path isn’t easy, but with the right community and mindset, the journey is worth it. Tune in for a meaningful discussion on how to decide, even against all odds, to continue the journey, knowing that we’re never meant to walk it alone.

Let’s talk about what it truly means to count the cost and press forward with faith.

Episode 9: Definition: Christian

In this episode, we dive into the heart of what it truly means to be a Christian. It’s not enough to simply say the words – it’s about obedience. We explore the difference between professing faith and truly obeying God’s commands. Understanding this distinction is essential for every believer, but the journey isn’t always easy. We’ll talk about how, on our own, we can’t do it – that’s where God’s strength comes in.

Let's live out our faith with obedience, rather than just words. Through this conversation, we’ll lay a foundation for how to begin walking in true Christian discipleship.

Episode 8: Purpose over Comfort: Rejecting the Tarshish Temptation

In this episode, we're talking about what it means to stop running like Jonah and why it’s so important to remember that it’s not all about us.

It’s easy to get caught up in our own plans, comfort, and distractions, but what happens when we realize our obedience to God impacts way more than just our own lives? We'll dive into how our decisions and actions affect the people around us—those connected to our purpose—and why it’s so crucial to answer the call, even when it feels hard.

Choosing to stop running means we’re not just choosing to do what’s best for us. It means we’re stepping into something bigger, something that can reach and change the lives of others. So, if you’ve been caught in the trap of making it all about you, this episode will remind you that your faithfulness can have a lasting impact beyond what you see right now.

Join us as we explore the importance of listening to God’s call, trusting that when we obey, it touches far more than just our own lives.

Keep your connection on and your faith strong.

Episode 7: Silence Speaks

In this episode, we explore the impact of distractions and how they can pull us away from experiencing true rest and connection with God. In a world that’s always on the go, it's easy to fill our lives with noise and activity, often so much so that we miss the quiet whisper of God in our midst. We'll dive into the importance of intentionally unplugging from the constant distractions that overwhelm us, and how sitting still and being present can help us hear God more clearly.

This episode is about giving yourself permission to rest without guilt. We’ll discuss the value of creating space in your life to simply be—without the pressure to always be doing something or constantly “productive.” Sometimes, true peace and growth come not from striving, but from stillness. 

Step back from the hustle, create moments of intentional rest, and embrace the quiet where God’s voice is often heard the clearest.

Episode 6: Choose to Stop Bleeding

In this episode, we dive into the transformative power of making a daily choice to surrender and stop letting our past wounds define who we are. Healing isn’t just about the physical or emotional scars we carry—it’s about the conscious decision to no longer let those scars dictate our identity. I’ll share how choosing to surrender daily has been key in my own healing journey and how it can be for you too. We’ll discuss the importance of releasing the pain from our past and understanding that while we may have been through hard things, they don’t have to become the essence of who we are.

This episode is a reminder that healing begins when we stop the bleeding. It’s a choice to step into our true identity and allow ourselves to grow beyond the hurt, trusting that each day brings us closer to wholeness. We are not our wounds, and when we surrender, we open the door to true healing in His presence.

Keep your connection on and your faith strong.
