Hello dear friend,

In today’s episode of the pod, I’m sharing my testimony of how reading the Bible daily has transformed over the years.

I talk about my journey of moving from being self-focused and anxious to becoming rooted in Christ, grounded in peace, and finally able to understand God’s character through His Word.

Most importantly, I talk through simple ways to build a consistent Bible-reading rhythm — from using one-year Bible plans, to choosing accessible translations and inviting the Holy Spirit to guide you as you read.

If you’ve been wanting to grow in the Word but don’t know where to start, this episode will encourage you and give you a roadmap to get started.

Hello dear friend

In this episode of Well with Jesus, we’re talking about body goals and whether it’s healthy to work out for aesthetic reasons. I share my own journey from chasing the “perfect body” to finding peace in viewing movement as a way to care for the body God’s given me.

We’ll unpack how wellness culture often confuses beauty with health, the trap of obsessing over our appearance or routines, and what happens when fitness becomes an idol. I’ll also share some gentle advice on body image and how to guard your heart by keeping your pursuit of wellness rooted in your relationship with God.

Hello dear friend

Today, we’re talking about holiness as the key to sustained healing and deliverance.

We’ll look at John 5:14, where Jesus tells the man He healed, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.” We’ll explore how, while healing may be given freely, maintaining it requires walking in holiness and in closeness with the One who made us whole.

This episode is an invitation to grow in likeness of Christ — not out of fear or striving, but from love and gratitude for the One who set us free.

Hello dear friend

In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to forgive from a Biblical perspective, especially in a world that celebrates “cancel culture.”

I share my own journey of learning to forgive when it didn’t feel fair or easy, and how Scripture helped me understand that forgiveness is more than a feeling; it’s a decision rooted in obedience and sustained by God’s grace.

We’ll also talk about what the Bible says about the cost of holding onto unforgiveness, and how to set healthy, Spirit-led boundaries while still choosing to walk in love.

Hello dear friend,

In this episode, I open up about my journey of learning to see God as a kindhearted Father. For a long time, I carried pain from my relationship with my earthly father, which made it surrender to God’s fatherhood.

Through prayer, I began to experience His tenderness and personally experience Him as Abba.

This episode is an invitation to bring your pain to God, to let Him meet you where it hurts, and to experience the safety and compassion of His fatherly love.

Hello dear friend,

This episode is a continuation of our conversation on identity in Christ.

We’ll explore what it means to find our worth and identity in Jesus, which includes knowing that we are made in God’s image, deeply loved, chosen, and made righteous through Him.

Together, we’ll walk through key scriptures like Genesis 1:27, Psalm 139:13-14 and Romans 8:38-39. Each one shows us that God created us intentionally, that He loves us unconditionally, and that He created us for a purpose.

This episode is an invitation to ground your sense of self in God’s Word and rest in the truth that your identity is secure in Christ.

Hello dear friend,

In this episode, I share my journey of moving from overachievement and creative loss to finding my true worth in Jesus.

Through Scripture and honest reflections on low self-worth, I talk about how prayer, God’s Word, and His love have renewed my mind and restored my sense of purpose.

This is the first part of our conversation on identity in Christ, with encouragement to stay rooted in Scripture, prayer, and Christian community as you step into the person God has always known you to be.

Hello dear friend,

In this episode, I open up about a season when healthy eating became an obsession. What started as a desire to nourish my body and manage my weight gradually turned into orthorexia nervosa: a restrictive, all-consuming approach to food that affected my mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.

I share how I recognised the problem, broke free from wellness culture, and found a gentler approach to eating healthily. If you’ve ever felt controlled by food, striving for perfection, or moralising what you eat, this conversation is for you.

Hello dear friend,

Today I open up about my own journey with depression, so I want to give a gentle trigger warning for anyone who may be in a sensitive place right now.

I share how God used Isaiah 61:3 to show me the spiritual roots of depression, what the Bible calls the spirit of heaviness. I also talk about my testimony of healing, and how God's taught me about praise as the path to healing. 

This is a very personal and faith-filled conversation. I hope is that it reminds you that depression is not your identity and that healing is possible through Christ.
