  • Bop Bags, Battles, and Breakthroughs
    2025/08/26

    This past month has stretched me in ways I didn’t expect. I’ve been reminded that whenever we step into a new season, the challenges often intensify — spiritually, emotionally, and even physically. The body keeps the score, and sometimes it feels like spiritual warfare is pressing in from every angle.

    In this episode, I’m sharing vulnerably about my own struggles, the hope I’ve held onto, and why I’ve been thinking a lot about bop bags — those


    toys that keep popping back up no matter how many times they’re knocked down. Maybe that’s a picture of faith in hard seasons: sometimes you just need to weather the storm, keep pressing in, and trust that the season will change.
