Everything in our lives can start to feel urgent, and when that happens, we forget what it truly means to be still and know that He is God. Scripture reminds us that “by waiting and by calm, you shall be saved,” yet the enemy works hard to steal that privilege of stillness.

I talk about how urgency can become a god in our lives—an idol we bow to without realizing it. The devil can’t create anything new; he only distorts what God intended for good. One of his biggest tactics is pushing us to move fast so we don’t slow down long enough to notice God’s presence or listen to His voice.

I also touch on the parable of the sower and how the most dangerous seed is the one swallowed up by thorns—choked out by hurry, worry, and the pressures of life.

And the beautiful truth?

Even while we rush, strive, and stress, God is urgently waiting for us—waiting for us to return to Him, to breathe, to trust, and to rest in His stillness.

This episode may ruffle some feathers… but it’s coming straight from my heart. I’m talking about something we all run into when we start walking boldly with Jesus: knowing when to lovingly stand firm in our faith, and when to step back from a conversation that’s going nowhere.

I share some real moments where I tried to defend what I believe—only to realize I was arguing with someone who didn’t actually want understanding… they just wanted a debate. And honestly? That can leave us feeling discouraged, misunderstood, and even questioning ourselves.Through all of this, I’ve learned that discernment is key. Not every conversation is ours to win.

Not every challenge is worth our peace. In this episode, I want to remind you (and myself) to lead with love, anchor ourselves in community, and trust that God can handle His own defense. We’re simply called to reflect Him well.

If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation wondering if you did the right thing—this one’s for you. Let’s talk about grace, confidence, and picking our battles with the Holy Spirit as our guide. 🤍✝️

This episode gets real about the stuff we don’t always admit out loud: the sins we keep going back to, the habits that own us, and the lies we start believing about who we are. I talk about the difference between being a slave and a servant, how sin tries to claim us, and how Jesus refuses to leave us in bondage. If you’re tired of feeling chained to the same cycles, this conversation will remind you of the freedom already paid for in full.
