In this episode, we’re diving deep into a topic most people avoid — insecure friends and how they can quietly drain your walk with Christ. 

We’ll talk about how insecurity shows up in friendships — through competition, comparison, or constant negativity — and how the enemy can use those dynamics to distract you from your purpose. You’ll learn how to recognize the difference between helping a hurting friend and being spiritually drained by one.

We’ll also cover:
- Setting healthy, Christ-centered boundaries
- How to love people without losing your peace
- What to do when God calls you to distance yourself for your growth
- And how to respond in wisdom instead of offense

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt guilty for pulling back, confused about how to handle toxic friendships, or wondering how to stay loving and obedient to God.

It’s time to protect your peace, guard your anointing, and walk in freedom.

Okay, let’s talk about it — are you called to lead worship, or are you just talented?  Because there’s a difference. In this episode, we’re unpacking what it really means to be called — the heart, the anointing, the posture — versus just being able to sing or play well.

We’re getting into all the things: the pressure that can come with leading, toxic worship culture, comparison, performance… and how to create a healthy, Spirit-led space where people actually encounter Jesus, not just good music.

In this episode, we take time to reflect on some of the recent tragic events happening in our world. It’s been sobering to witness so much pain, uncertainty, and loss—and it serves as a reminder of how fragile life truly is. More than ever, we need to recognize our deep need for Jesus. He is our only hope, and His return is closer than we think. Time is running out, and the call to turn to Him is urgent. Join us for this heartfelt conversation as we look at the times we’re living in through the lens of faith and the hope we have in Christ.

In this episode, we dive into Matthew 6:33–34—“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.” I share how the Lord has shown me practical ways to live out these verses in my daily life—choosing trust over anxiety, focusing on His kingdom above my own, and finding peace in knowing He provides for every need.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal testimony — the story behind the platform, the pain behind the smile. From being an athlete who found her worth in performance, to chasing idols that only left me empty, to walking through the trauma of abuse... I open up about the moments that broke me and the One who healed me.

This isn’t just a story about sports or suffering — it’s about surrender. About how Jesus met me in the middle of my mess and gave me purpose beyond the scoreboard, peace beyond the pain, and a new identity rooted in Him.

Whether you’ve faced performance pressure, struggled with identity, or are in the middle of your own silent battles — this episode is for you. There is hope. There is healing. And His name is Jesus.

Hope you enjoy :)

In this episode, we dive into the myth that "ignorance is bliss"—especially within the Christian life. While it might feel easier to tune out the noise of the world, Scripture calls us to be watchful, discerning, and engaged. From cultural trends to current events, we explore why it is our duty as believers to stay informed, speak truth, and stand firm in faith. Ignorance isn’t safety—it’s vulnerability. Tune in for biblical insight, encouragement, and a challenge to rise above complacency.

In this episode, we’re getting real about something many Christians overlook—the fear of God. You’re praying, fasting, going to church... but still stuck in the same cycles of sin. Why? Because reverence has been replaced with comfort. We’re breaking down what it truly means to fear God, why it’s not about being scared but being surrendered, and how restoring a holy fear of the Lord is the key to lasting freedom. If you’ve been feeling spiritually stagnant, this is your wake-up call.

After 75 days of spiritual discipline, daily prayer, fasting, and intentional living — I can officially say I completed 75 Holy. In this episode, I open up about what really happened behind the scenes: the breakthroughs, the breakdowns, the unexpected challenges, and more.

Was it worth it? And would I ever do it again?

If you’ve been curious about 75 Holy or you’re just in need of spiritual encouragement, this episode is raw, honest, and hopefully a push toward something deeper in your walk with Jesus.

If you’ve ever heard that following Jesus means saying goodbye to fun, joy, and anything remotely exciting — this episode is for you. We're diving deep into the stereotype that Christians live boring, rule-filled lives and showing why that couldn't be further from the truth.

We’re breaking down the lie that faith equals boredom and unpacking what the Bible really says about joy, freedom, and living life to the full. Plus, I’m sharing tons of ways Christians can have fun, connect with others, and enjoy life while honoring God.
