My Daughter Asked Me If We Were Rich… And It Convicted Me | James 2:5

My daughter asked me a simple question: “Are we rich?” And honestly… it stopped me in my tracks. In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, we talk about value systems, spiritual desperation, humility, and what Scripture actually says about being “rich in faith.” Because somewhere along the way, many of us learned to measure wealth through money, status, influence, appearance, or achievement… but James 2:5 challenges us to rethink what true riches really are. This conversation explores: * Rich in faith vs rich in possessions * Why spiritual arrogance is dangerous * The connection between humility and dependence on God * Why desperation for God matters * What it means to be “poor in spirit” * Biblical wealth and the Kingdom of God Anchored Scriptures: * James 2:5 * Matthew 5:3 * Luke 6:20–23 * Luke 12:23 * Matthew 19:24 If this episode encouraged or challenged you, make sure you subscribe, share this with someone you love, and join the conversation in the comments.

A Year Changed Everything… But Not the Way I Expected | Faith, Obedience & Growth

It’s been one year since stepping fully into this new season of Eat Don’t Compete—and I didn’t expect the growth to look like this. In this episode, I’m reflecting on what the last year has truly produced—not just content, not just numbers, but obedience, stretching, humility, and a deeper understanding of what it means to walk with God. Because the truth is… I had to unlearn what I thought success was. I had to confront the tension between knowing God and actually obeying Him. And I had to realize that some fruit only comes when you stop striving and start surrendering. This episode is personal. It’s honest. And it’s an invitation for you to reflect on your own year—what God has done, what He’s revealed, and how He’s been shaping you. If a year made this kind of difference in my life… it can in yours too. 🔗 Mentioned in this episode: * Picking Flowers and Pricking Thorns (Poetry Collection) * The Blueprint of Becoming Series * Hey God, I Have Questions Series * From Discontentment to God’s Definition Series 💬 Join the conversation: What has God changed in you this past year? 📌 Subscribe & Stay Connected New episodes exploring faith, identity, obedience, and spiritual growth.

What If God Wants to Use What You’ve Been Ignoring? (Purpose & Calling)

I didn’t just write a poetry book… I responded to a conviction. If you’ve been following the recent conversations on success, calling, and discontentment—this is what that process produced in me. In this episode, I walk you through the heart behind Picking Flowers and Pricking Thorns—where it came from, what God revealed to me, and why I could no longer ignore the gift He gave me. This isn’t just poetry. It’s a journey through tension—beauty and brokenness, growth and loss, surrender and purpose. From “before awareness” to “walking in purpose,” this book was written intentionally to reflect what it looks like to process life with God, not apart from Him. If you’ve ever wrestled with your calling, questioned your gifts, or felt the tension of becoming… this conversation is for you. And if you’ve been supporting from a distance—this is your invitation to step into community, not just support. 📖 Pick up your copy of Picking Flowers and Pricking Thorns Available now on Amazon (Hardcover) https://a.co/d/0fMQoK13
