  • 009 - A New Name only you and God know

    Episode 9 - A New Name

    Today we're discussing how it seems like no one will ever understand what you go through. The truth is, no one ever will. The variable of your personality, the time period you were born into, the circumstances that you go through in life, and the personalities of the people around you, are so unique, it's impossible to completely understand what someone is going through. But in Revelation 2:7, Jesus says to the one who overcomes, he'll get a stone with his new name on it.
    What if that name is basically your story? What if that name describes everything you've ever overcome? Jesus says that this name he gives to the overcomer, will only be known by the one who recieves it. No one can truly understand your story. But what do you want that story to be?

  • 008 - What this podcast has done in my life

    Ep 8 - What's happened to me since I started this.

    Today we're getting real about how this channel is affecting me! When I set out on this journey, it wasn't to show I had it all figured out, it was to help focus me and my growth. After starting the channel and getting through Launch Week, I found myself kinda empty. It was surprising how quickly the "depth" of my revelations dried up. This channel almost ended before we even got started! But God is faithful and has been calling me to dig deeper than ever before. Giving out so actively, burned through the excess I had stored up thinking I had enough. God wants us to know that no relationship is ever "finished." We can always grow. And that's the lesson I've learned this week. Let's dive in.

  • 007 - Love your enemies

    Episode 7 - The One thing that will change the world!

    Today we're talking about the commandment Jesus gave us that will change the world, and that's Loving our Enemies. It's THE hardest concept to follow. But to Love Your Enemy is above all, the stance that separates out those that follow Jesus from the rest of the world. The only way to make an impact, the only way we're going to change the world, is by Love. And not just love for the coolest or the prettiest or the most successful. But love for the trolls, the frustrating people, the people who disagree with you, the irritating people, the ones who we just can't with. Jesus says, those are the people we are to love.
    We can't fight and argue in the same way. We can't overcome evil with the same evil. We can only overcome evil with good.
    Will you join me in this walk.

  • 006 - Do I deserve God's Love?

    Episode 6 - Am I worthy of God's Love?

    Today we're talking about the greatest commandment! That's right the one we all know: Letting God Love US!
    What? You never heard of that one before? Well, before we can follow the 2 greatest commandments, we have to take a deep dive into 1 John 4:19.
    Accepting God's love, accepting the Love of I AM is the first key in our entire relationship with him. It's essential to understand that before we get to anything, God loved us FIRST. Before you rack up your accomplishments, before you count all your failures, before any decision, before any tragedy, God LOVED US. And he loved us at our worst! He paid everything to bridge the gap in our relationship, not while we had everything figure out, not when we lost weight, not when we got that promotion, not when we finally bought a house, NO, he paid everything while we were at our worst.
    It's the greatest thing EVER!

  • 005 - The Story of God and Humans

    Episode 5 - The Story of Humanity and God

    Today we're discussing the over arching story of HUMANITY! What is the
    thread that flows through the stories of the Bible? We're going to look
    at relationship vs. Religion. How is it that humans interact with God?
    Wasn't God's plan all about giving humans a bunch of rules? Isn't God
    just a bunch of rules?
    We're talking about how I AM, this very present and personal God, has
    only ever wanted to share his love with people. He created a perfect
    world, that humans messed up. He gave us life and we brought in death.
    The Bible is stuff with stories of God's people repeatedly stiff-arming
    God and walking away from him.
    Then Jesus steps in and finishes the work for all time! To finally
    restore that relationship with people. God and humanity restored again
    together!

  • 004 - Glow in the Dark Revelation

    Episode 4 - Glow in the Dark Revelations

    What is Revelation? No, not the last book in the Bible. We're talking about the Rhema of God! That direct spoken word from I AM that feeds our soul and brings us life.
    I've become obsessed with Glow in the Dark stuff, and God reminded me that glow in the dark things remind us of the life we live with him!

  • 003 - Did I miss God's plan for my life?

    Have you ever wondered if you completely missed God's plan for your life? Today we're going to discuss how that concept is directly against the name of God that perfectly describes who He is! We'll dive deep into why this particular name for God may be more than we come to think of it.


    Get ready for a deep dive into God's name I AM and talk about who God is!


    I'll say it once, I'll say it 1000x, people who enjoy sci-fi have already been exercising their brains to wrap around tough spiritual concepts! God loves to speak to everyone, but I think He especially loves speaking to Sci-Fi nerds!

  • 002 - An Introduction to Love

    Today we're beginning the discussion on Love! It's a huge topic that CANNOT be covered by one single episode. But we're going to hit some basics. You better believe that we are going to be revisiting this topic pretty regularly. It's a foundational part of The Martyr Life and essential to humanity!

    This one is a little choppier because I was closer to 26 minutes when I was done, so I trimmed as much as I could. I'm still figuring this whole thing out, so I'll get better at keeping it under 20 min or less!
    Love's a tough one to start the conversation in under 20 min! But my apologies for going over on episode 2!

  • 001 - YANA for Life

    Today we're talking about one of the foundational tenets of The Martyr Life. And how we pray prayers that God has already answered before we even prayed!

    We're talking about the presence of God. He's always with us. What verses back up this idea that we are not alone? How does this concept change the foundation of how we approach church, God, and each other.
    You are not alone. You need to hear that today!
