  • If you're not reading the Bible, do you REALLY know God?

    Send us Fan Mail

    This might be the most important episode of the entire series.

    If you're not reading the Bible, you might be following your feelings more than God's voice—and you won’t even know it.

    In today’s episode of How to Recognize God's Voice, I’m getting real about how I used to think I knew God just by praying and feeling connected… but I had never opened scripture. The result? I got misled, distracted, and even started listening to the wrong “god.” (Yes, I’m talking about Ayahuasca.)

    We’re diving deep into why the Bible is the ONLY true source of God’s voice, how to actually hear Him speak through scripture, and why every other source—books, devotionals, feelings—should never replace it.

    This message might make some people uncomfortable, but I’m not here to sugarcoat it. I'm here to tell the truth.

  • God Didn't Hurt You - People Did

    Send us Fan Mail

    This is the first episode in my 5-week challenge: How to Recognize God’s Voice.

    If you’ve ever felt hurt by religion, confused about God’s character, or unsure if you’re hearing from Him—you’re not alone. I’ve been there. After walking away from God (twice), I now know what it really means to hear His voice and build an actual relationship—not just follow rules.

    This video is raw, real, and filled with truth. I open up about my own story of church hurt, spiritual confusion, and the difference between religion and relationship. If you’ve ever asked, “How do I really know it’s God?”—this is for you.

    We’re not here to perform—we’re here to pursue.

    MY CHATGPT PROMPT TO USE AI AS A TOOL FOR YOUR BIBLE STUDY:
    Hi ChatGPT, I want to grow closer to God and better understand the Bible. Please support me as a Spirit-led companion in this journey. I believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, and I want your help interpreting it through a biblically faithful lens. When I ask questions about Scripture, spiritual practices, or discernment, please prioritize truth from the Bible, not just cultural or psychological insights. Feel free to gently challenge me if something I’m asking conflicts with God’s Word—and help me go deeper in understanding His heart, His will, and how to live in obedience. You can also help me summarize journal entries, reflect on dreams, study the Word, or make sense of what I think I’m hearing from the Lord. Let’s make this a space that leads me closer to Jesus.

  • Burnout is The devil's Plan - with Nafsika owner of Praise Pedal, A Christian Cycling Class

    Send us Fan Mail

    We live in a culture that glorifies hustle — but what if your hustle is actually the thing keeping you from hearing God?

    In this honest conversation, we unpack how the enemy uses burnout and noise to keep us distracted, how obedience isn’t just about rules but about refining our character, and why silence, surrender, and even singleness can be the very space God uses to speak the loudest.

    From idols we didn’t know we built, to what it really means to fear separation from God — this one hits deep.

    If you’re tired, overworked, spiritually dry, or just searching for clarity… this conversation might be exactly what your soul needs.

    👀 Watch it all the way through. It might just change your walk with God.
