  • How I Went From Lukewarm to On Fire for God

    How I Went From Lukewarm to On Fire for God
    2025/08/14
    If you’ve ever felt like you’ve drifted from God, like that fire you once had for Him has faded, this one’s for you. I know what it’s like to think you’re too far gone, to believe you have to “fix yourself” before you can come back to Him. That was me—stuck in shame, projecting my own feelings about myself onto God, convinced He had distanced Himself from me. But Exodus 34:6 completely shifted my view of Him. This is the first time in the Bible God describes Himself, and what He says will wreck every lie you’ve believed about how He sees you. In this episode, we’ll walk through the context of that verse, what it meant to the original audience, and why it still changes everything for us today. My prayer is that by the end, you’ll see Him more clearly and come back to Him with your head held high, knowing He still loves you, still chooses you, and is still faithful—no matter what.

  • How I Built my Confidence As A Christian (Self Worth Through God)

    How I Built my Confidence As A Christian (Self Worth Through God)
    2025/08/07
    I didn’t realize how much of my confidence was wrapped up in how people saw me… until God started stripping that away. In this episode, I’m talking about where our confidence really comes from — and what happens when you try to build your identity on things that shift. Your job. Your relationship. Your reputation. Even your emotions. We walk through Matthew 16 and how Peter’s revelation of who Jesus is led to Jesus revealing who Peter was. And that’s the moment everything changes. If you’ve ever wrestled with insecurity, people-pleasing, or feeling like you’ve lost yourself — I think this one will really speak to you. Finding who you are starts with finding Him. And if you want to go deeper in the Word daily, check out my devotional podcast After God’s Heart. We walk through Scripture every morning together.

    How I Fell in Love with God Again (And You Can Too)
    2025/07/30
    I used to think I peaked in my relationship with God—that the passion I had in high school was something I’d never get back. But what I’ve learned is that love with Jesus doesn’t fade… it matures. In this episode, I share how I fell in love with Him all over again—what had to break off of me, what shifted in how I saw Him, and how you can get that fire back too. If you’ve ever felt distant from God or like you’ve lost your passion, I pray this speaks to you. And if you're ready to fall in love with Him again daily, come join me on After God’s Heart—a daily devotional podcast and community that helps you meet God in His Word and rediscover who He truly is.

  • Life Update + The Biggest Lie I Believed About God

    Life Update + The Biggest Lie I Believed About God
    2025/07/23
    This one’s real personal. I just felt like it was time to slow down and let you all l in on what’s really been happening behind the scenes the last 9–10 months. A lot has changed in my life — new city, new church, deep community, and God doing a real work in my heart. But the biggest thing I had to face? There was this lie I didn’t even realize I was believing about God — and it had been shaping the way I saw Him, myself, and my purpose. In this episode, I’m sharing that story. What led me there. How He’s been peeling it all back. And the version of me I feel like He’s been slowly freeing me from. It’s kind of like a reset episode. I talk about where the podcast is going, what’s changing, and where I see God leading next. So if you've been in a season of transition, or you've ever wrestled with identity, ambition, or feeling like you’ve outgrown who you used to be — I think this one’s gonna hit home. Let me know what God’s been teaching you too. I’d love to hear it.

    The #1 Reason You Still Feel Distant From God (And How to Fix It)
    2025/07/21
    This might be one of the most important conversations we’ve had yet. In today’s episode of The Disciples Journal, we’re diving deep into what it actually means to walk in intimacy with Jesus. Not just following Him, but abiding in Him. You’ll hear how peace isn’t found in performance—but in a person. We’ll talk about the fruit of intimacy, why discipline without surrender leaves us empty, and how true transformation happens when we stop trying to fix ourselves and start beholding Him. I even share a powerful revelation God gave me about the veil at the altar—and how only Jesus can lift it. This is more than just a teaching. It’s a heart reset. Let’s get into it.

  • The One Change That Will Restore Your Walk With God

    The One Change That Will Restore Your Walk With God
    2025/07/16
    What if the real reason you feel distant from God… is something you’ve been overlooking? In today’s episode of The Disciples Journal, we’re unpacking Hebrews 12:14 — a verse that doesn’t just talk about holiness, but reveals why so many of us struggle to feel close to God. Darin breaks down how sin doesn’t drive God away from us… but it does distort our view of Him. Through a powerful moment of personal conviction, we explore how holiness isn’t about perfection — it’s about intimacy. About seeing God clearly. About giving Him all of who we are. Whether you’ve walked with God for years or you’re trying to find your way back, this episode will shift how you see sin, holiness, and the invitation God gives us every day to draw near. 🎧 Reflection Question: What’s one thing in your life right now that might be clouding your view of God? 👉 Want to go deeper and start building a consistent daily rhythm with God?

  • Most Christians Are Struggling With This (This Destroys Your Faith)

    Most Christians Are Struggling With This (This Destroys Your Faith)
    2025/07/14
    Do you know God, or do you just know about Him? That question cuts deep—and it’s exactly what we’re unpacking in today’s episode. As we officially launch After God’s Heart, I wanted to start with a conversation that’s foundational: intimacy with God. Drawing from Jeremiah 9:23–24, we explore the difference between boasting in what we do for God vs. actually walking in deep relationship with Him. This episode is a personal one. I’m sharing what shifted in my own journey—how consistency didn’t come from more discipline, but from more intimacy. You'll also hear how the fruit of the Spirit isn’t something you force... it's something that flows when you’re planted in the right place. And don't miss the powerful reflection from 1 Corinthians 13. It’ll challenge you to ask yourself: “What if I’m doing everything right, but missing the one thing that matters?” Ready to grow in your relationship with God? Try After God’s Heart free for 7 days and start a daily rhythm of intimacy with Jesus. 🎧 Tap the link to begin: https://aftergodsheart.carrd.co/ Learn more about your ad choices.
