Ever feel caught between believing in God’s promises and the pain of real life? That’s what I call “the angsty middle.” In this episode, we explore Romans 8 and how to live—and pray—in that tension.

I share a personal story, unpack what it means to be a “new creation” in a broken world, and give practical tips on how to intercede for others like Jesus did.

Whether you’re confused about prayer or carrying someone else’s burden, this one's for you.

Recommended Study & Resources:

In today’s episode, we dive into the story of Naomi—a woman often overshadowed by Ruth but whose journey from rock-bottom to redemption is one of the most profound illustrations of God’s kindness. This isn’t a "moral of the story" kind of message. Instead, we walk through the plot like a novel—complete with inciting incidents, twists, and a stunning epilogue—showing how God’s kindness leads to repentance and unexpected legacy.

🎧 Listen in as we explore how even in the darkest chapters, God is writing a story of redemption, provision, and legacy.

In this episode, we’re looking at the rise and cataclysmic fall of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. All because they neglected one simple daily habit. God’s people got lax in this one thing, and the kingdom was wiped out and the people were taken into exile.

On the flip side, doing this one simple thing every day will change your life. I know - because it changed mine. This isn’t some far-removed ancient history. It’s still relevant to us today.

(And if you’re not up to speed on the OT historical timeline, no worries! I’ll get you caught up.)
