What's the Dill?

Potty training is the ultimate test of patience… and not just for your toddler.
The smell, the bribery, the “I don’t have to go” standoffs — and somewhere in the middle of it, I had this realization: This is exactly how God parents us.

In this episode, I share how those messy, frustrating moments in the bathroom taught me something huge about God’s patience, why He doesn’t force our growth, and how He walks with us through the mess until we get it right.

If you’ve ever wondered why God lets you “make a mess” before you figure it out — this one’s for you.

02:25 – Old Life Is Changing
06:40 – God is Potty Training Me
11:25 – God can work in us and change us

You ever been to the beach as a kid?
You just ran straight to the water.
But someone had to wake up early. Pack the van. Load the cooler. Lug the tent, chairs, towels, snacks, sunscreen…
Then set it all up while you just laughed and played.

That’s what God is like.
He’s the Father doing all the work behind the scenes—fighting for you, providing for you, loving you—while you barely notice.

In this episode, we break down this simple, powerful metaphor… and how it changes the way we see prayer, suffering, trust, and the hidden ways God moves in our lives.

💡 Whether you feel forgotten, overwhelmed, or unsure where God is right now… this episode is a reminder:
You’re never alone. He’s been working for your good since before you even showed up.

The world says you need a platform, followers, and a five-year plan to make an impact.
But Heaven doesn’t work that way.

In this episode, we explore the stunning legacy of Sister Clare Crockett, an Irish actress-turned-nun whose hidden life of love changed a whole town in Ecuador—and inspired the world.

From chasing fame on British TV to laying down her life in service of the poor, Sister Clare’s story is a radiant reminder that God doesn’t need your talent or influence—He just needs your yes.

Whether you feel unnoticed, ordinary, or unsure what God wants from you right now… this episode will show you:
Your small, faithful love can echo in eternity.

Scottie Scheffler blew away sports media this past week. His thoughts on winning took many by surprise.

You’re grinding. Achieving. Hustling for more—
Success, recognition, security.

But if success was the answer, why do so many men still feel empty once they get it?
In this episode, we unpack the recent words of Scottie Scheffler, who—after winning the Masters—openly admitted:

“These things don’t satisfy the deepest parts of my heart.”

What’s that hole we keep trying to fill?
And why does every win leave us wanting more?
This episode explores the real desires of the masculine heart: identity, purpose, and being seen by God, not just the world. We’ll talk about how to let God be our fulfillment, not our scoreboard—and how interior freedom begins when we stop proving and start receiving.

You’re praying, working, helping others, checking the boxes—doing good things.
But deep down… it still feels like it’s never enough.
Because the world (and sometimes even your own heart) keeps whispering, “Do more.”

But what if rest isn’t weakness? What if leisure is holy?

In this episode, we talk about what Pope Leo XIV just reminded the world when he left Rome for his summer retreat house—a powerful and much-needed witness that even the Pope needs time to step back. We unpack the Catholic understanding of leisure, why it matters, and how rest is a form of trust in God, not laziness.

This episode is your permission slip to slow down—and your challenge to see rest as worship.

🕒 Key Highlights:
00:00 – Intro
02:15 – The Pressure to Always “Do More”
05:20 – What Pope Leo XIV’s Summer Retreat Teaches Us
09:05 – How Rest Can Strengthen Your Faith

In this episode, we dive into the reasons we often put more faith in algorithms, influencers, and curated content than in the Creator of the universe. We explore how social media conditions us to seek control, validation, and instant answers—while God invites us into a slower, deeper trust that requires faith, not filters.
