The True North Podcast | Christian Podcast on Navigating Faith & Life

Have you unknowingly pitched your tent in the land of “good enough”? In this episode, we’re unpacking what complacency really is—a self-satisfied state that can quietly keep you from the life God is calling you to live. We’ll explore how comfort, when left unchecked, becomes the silent enemy of progress.

If you’ve been feeling spiritually stagnant, disconnected from God, or stuck in routine, this conversation will challenge you to trade the safety of comfort for the stretching, refining, and transforming work of calling. It’s time to go where God says “Go”—even if it means leaving the camp you’ve built.

We’ve all clung tightly to a “perfect plan”—a timeline, a checklist, a dream that should’ve worked out by now. But what happens when the plan falls apart, or worse… is the very thing standing in our way of the thing we crave most, our peace?

In this episode of The True North Podcast, we’re diving deep into the soul work of releasing the illusion of control, surrendering timelines, and learning to trust in God’s timing. If you’ve ever struggled to let go, questioned your pace, or wondered why things aren’t lining up the way you hoped—this episode will meet you right where you are.

Have you ever wondered if your job, your home, or your daily routine could actually be your ministry? This week on The True North Podcast, we’re diving into what it really looks like to live a life fully surrendered to Jesus—even while working a 9–5, running a business, raising kids, or managing your real-world responsibilities.

Whether you're clocking in at a corporate job, pouring into your children as a stay-at-home mom, or building something of your own, this episode will remind you: ministry isn’t limited to the church. It happens in the margins. In your meetings. In your kitchen. In your car rides.

We’re talking about the power of mundane ministry—showing up in your everyday work with eternal purpose.

Ever wondered what really goes on behind the mic at The True North Podcast? This week, I’m pulling back the curtain and giving you an honest, behind-the-scenes look at how this show comes together — from choosing guests to hitting publish.

I get asked all the time how I started this podcast, why I don’t obsess over stats, and what goes into making each episode feel like a cozy coffee chat for your soul. So I thought… why not spill it all? 

Tune in for a candid peek at my process, the heart behind my content, and some encouragement for anyone dreaming about launching a podcast of their own. It’s all the real stuff — the why, the how, and the definitely not-perfect-but-still-worth-it middle.

So... I asked ChatGPT to tell me what I might be missing about myself.

In this episode, I'm sharing the blind spots it revealed—some I expected, others that hit a little too close to home. From people-pleasing to perfectionism, overfunctioning to avoidance, we’re getting real about the patterns that quietly hold us back.

If you've ever felt like you're doing all the things but still not moving forward, this episode is your mirror moment. You're not crazy or behind—you might just have a few blind spots you haven’t named yet.

Let's unpack them together.

Are you constantly jumping from one thing to the next—one church, one devotional, one big idea—without ever feeling full or fulfilled?

In this episode, we’re calling out Shiny Object Syndrome in the church, in ministry, and in our personal walk with Christ. If you're overcommitted, easily distracted, or spiritually drained, this one’s for you. 

We dig deep and talk about the original queen of distraction—Martha—and how her story reveals the danger of chasing doing over dwelling. From burnout in service to comparing spiritual journeys on social media, we explore why so many believers are tired, unfocused, and unfulfilled.

Thinking about starting a small group or Bible study, but not sure where to begin? Maybe you’ve felt the sting of lacking community and sensed God nudging you to create what you were missing. If you've ever said, “But I don’t have what I need!”—this episode is your roadmap.

In Small Group 101, I walk you through four simple and Spirit-led steps to help you launch a small group, Bible study, or faith-centered gathering using exactly what’s in your hands right now. 

In this episode, we cover:

How to find your tribe (yes, even if you don’t know who’s coming)

Picking your scribe—what you’ll study and how to choose content that fits your group

Creating your vibe—from coffee shops to living rooms, what matters most is connection

How to thrive as a host—even if you feel unqualified, nervous, or unsure

This isn’t just about hosting—it’s about building community, growing in the Word, and creating a space for people to feel seen, heard, and spiritually challenged. Whether you’re launching a Bible study, a campus small group, or something in between, this guide is for you.

In this powerful episode of True North, I sits down with my friend and small group co-host, Hannah Wells to explore one of the most pressing questions in the faith journey: “Why am I not healed yet?” Together, we dive deep into the emotional, spiritual, and even physical aspects of healing, uncovering the transformative role that forgiveness plays in releasing pain and walking in God’s promise of wholeness.

Whether you’re struggling with emotional wounds or spiritual stagnation, this episode offers hope, perspective, and biblical truth to guide you toward freedom and healing.
