I grew up in church so I’ve heard almost all of the stories. One of them that I knew by heart was when Jesus feeds the 5000 (which is actually only the men counted, so it was closer to 20,000). In case you haven’t read it, it’s John 6:1-15. Pause on reading this, go read that, and then come back.

Today we're talking about lust. Something that is over talked about but often miscommunicated in the Church. This is NOT for little ears - so be sure to put your earbuds on!

In this deeply personal and candid episode, I dive into Matthew 5:27-30, discussing the challenging topic of lust. I emphasize the importance of personal Bible study and prayer, encouraging you not to take my word for it but to seek God's guidance and wisdom directly. I openly share my struggles with lust, aiming to create a safe space for honest conversation and growth.

"Lord, thank You for Your unwavering love and grace. Help us to seek Your truth in Your Word and to turn away from anything that draws us away from You. Give us strength to overcome our struggles and to live in a way that honors You. Amen."

Listen to the full episode for an honest and heartfelt discussion on overcoming lust through faith and the power of God's love.

In today's episode, I want to take you all the way back to Jesus's birth story—the Christmas story we know and love. But I want to hone in on the wise men, the ones who brought the three gifts. Though we think there were three, we actually don't know that for sure. We'll dive into who these men actually were and why their story is so significant.
