  • Ep. 41 - Created For A Purpose

    In this episode I explore what it means to live with true significance in a culture increasingly defined by performance, comparison, and self-made identity. Drawing on Scripture, cultural insight, and timeless truth, I try to reminds us that our value isn’t earned—it’s received. You are not random. You are God’s masterpiece—handcrafted with purpose, designed for good works, and sent into the world to make an eternal difference.

    Whether you’re feeling lost, weary, or simply searching for deeper meaning, this episode will anchor your heart in truth and point you to the One who defines your worth.

  • Ep. 36 - Dealing with Trauma and Limiting Beliefs

    This week's episode is a little longer than usual. I share a talk I gave as part of the Deeper Life Young Adult USA 2024 Regional Conference. In the session, I share ways of dealing with difficult memories and limiting beliefs through prayer and relational skills. It's important to remember that professional counseling is also a part of dealing with these types of things and the information in this episode should not be used in place of professional help from a licensed mental health provider.
