March 20, 2026 Everyone Else Walked Away — Except One. A Love Story from 2,800 Years Ago【Ep.35】
🧊 Lately, I've just stopped caring — about people, about the world, even about my own future.
Politics is a mess. The future is a blur. "Believing in something" feels more and more like a losing bet.
And yet the Bible — the world's #1 bestseller
— says this: "God loves humanity beyond measure."...Honestly? "Where exactly is this love?"
But today, I want to talk about that love — on purpose.
A bride named Gomer who walked out on her husband, was unfaithful, and ended up being sold. 👰‍♀️
And a husband who scraped together everything he had to buy her back.
"Does a love like that even exist?!"From this ancient story, let's unpack the fierce, real love God has for us — one we never knew was there.

March 13, 2026 Why Being "Perfect" Is Slowly Crushing You — The Story of Absalom, the Man Who Was Too Beautiful【Ep.34】
"I want to look better." "I want to be recognized." 😩 The more we dress ourselves up, the heavier life somehow feels...
Sound familiar?
3,000 years ago, the Bible introduced a man who had all the "perfection" we'd kill for today.
His name was Absalom — flawless from head to toe, with gorgeous hair weighing over five pounds.
The ultimate influencer of the ancient world.
But the very "perfect image" he weaponized ultimately became the trap that destroyed him.Why did a man who had it all meet such a devastating end? And why was his father King David — who made equally terrible mistakes — still loved?
📕 Let's unpack hints from the world's greatest bestseller on how to break free from the pressure of "I have to become somebody" and start living lighter.

February 19, 2026 The "Wishing" Trap: Why Getting What You Want Isn't Making You Happy.【Ep.31】
“Once I get this, I’ll finally be happy!” …Are you sure? 😳
We get what we want, only to find a new wish waiting.Is life just an endless loop of wanting more? It feels so empty.

The real shift happens when we stop focusing on if our prayers are answered, and start focusing on how we live—with or without them.

2,000 years ago, Paul faced a "prayer that went unanswered." 🌿His story isn't just a comfort; it’s a breakthrough.
It’s a perspective that clears the fog and gives you the strength to truly move forward, thorns and all.
