In this episode, I talk about the Refiner’s fire and how God uses trials and testing to shape us into who He’s called us to be. Anchored in Malachi 3:3, we look at passages from Nehemiah, Job, James, Romans, Philippians, and 1 Peter to see that the fire is never wasted - it is God’s way of purifying, strengthening, and conforming us to the image of Christ.

I also share personally about walking through a refining season right now and the reminder that encourages me daily: God is more committed to our process than we are. He doesn’t abandon us in the fire - He sits as the Refiner, ensuring we are not consumed but purified. Even in the pressure, He is faithful, and His goal is always our growth and His glory.

If you’re in a season of testing or stretching, I pray this episode reminds you that you’re not alone and that God is doing something deep in you. Hold on - the gold always comes after the fire.

This episode is a special encouragement dedicated to my teen moms and single moms. As someone who was a teen mom and am currently a single, divorced mom, I know how heavy and shameful it can feel with the pressures from society and maybe even the church. With encouragement from 1 Corinthians 1:26-31, 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, and Jeremiah 29:11-14 - I pray you leave this episode with your head held high knowing that God loves you and has a plan and purpose for your life. You have not and can not change that.

This episode dives into my struggle with consistency and how God, not my own effort, is the source of true order. There is freedom in boundaries and structure. We explore how He brings clarity where there’s chaos, and how Scripture shows envy, selfish ambition, and other worldly things create disorder. We also briefly talk about spiritual insight and that lasting peace come only from walking with the God of order.

In this very personal episode, I share from Matthew 11:28–29 about laying down striving and stress to find true rest in Christ. Rejection and pressure can leave us weary, but God calls us to live in His love, joy, and peace. May this encourage you to stop carrying the weight alone and rest in the One who cares for you.

God is King of Kings and worthy of our obedience, reverence, and respect. In Numbers 14, Israel deserved destruction, yet God showed mercy by pardoning and giving lesser discipline. This episode reminds us that even in His correction, He is merciful, and we must honor Him when He speaks.

God can handle our honesty. From James 5:16 to Jesus' example in the Garden of Gethsemane and the Mount of Transfiguration where He drew His closest disciples, we see the power of honesty, vulnerability, and trusted community in finding healing and deeper communion with God.

Isaiah 42, 43, and 1 Peter 2:9

Season 2 kicks off with a reminder to consider God’s character—He is patient, kind, faithful, and full of grace. In this episode, we walk through the fruit of the Spirit and talk about how God is a good Father who leads us through process, not destruction. He gives good gifts and works all things for our good. Let this be a reminder of who He is as you walk with Him.
