A Lion Inside Podcast

Singleness Is Not A Waiting Room

This episode is a conversation I've been wanting to have for a long time. I sit down with Dr. Musy, one of my professors, who has spent much of her life single not waiting on life to start but fully living it. She shares what it looks like to build a life she genuinely loves, find deep joy in the present, and walk in contentment without dismissing the real and honest desire for marriage.We talk about the tension so many of us feel - the longing for something more, while learning to be rooted in what God has already given us. I ask the questions we don't always say out loud: How do you handle the waiting? Does the desire ever go away? What does it look like to trust God with your story when it doesn't look how you imagined?This episode is honest, grounding, and full of perspective for anyone navigating singleness, longing, and the process of becoming whole right where you are.

Holding On When The Promise Feels Delayed

Grief doesn't always come from loss you can see.Sometimes it's the life you thought you'd be living by now. The prayers you believed would be answered differently. the timeline you held so tightly... that didn't unfold the way you imagined.In part 2, we step into a different kind of grief- the quiet, often unspoken kind. What does it actually look like to grieve what never happened? How do you process disappointment, delay, and unmet expectations without losing hope?We talk honestly about what grieving well looks like- not rushing it, not numbing it, but bringing it fully before God. The tension of trusting Him while still feeling the ache. The reality that healing isn't linear, and faith doesn't mean you don't feel the weight of it all.We also look at the stories of Sarah and Hannah - two women who knew what it was like to long deeply, wait painfully, and wrestle with God in the middle of it. Their stories remind us that God is not distant in our waiting. He sees, He hears, and He is working - even when it doesn't look the way we thought it would.If you've ever felt behind, disappointed, or unsure of where God is in your story... this conversation is for you.

The Weight of Goodbye

This episode is incredibly close to my heart. Before anything else, I need to say this - this podcast would not even exist without her. The hours, the behind-the-scenes work, the details no one sees... she has poured so much of herself into building this. She's believed in this vision, and in me, even in moments where I struggled to believe in myself. Her yes, her consistency, and her quiet faithfulness are a huge part of why you're even listening to this today. But in this episode, you don't just hear from her as a producer - you hear her story. She opens up about the loss of her dad and what it has looked like to walk through deep, personal grief. Not the polished version. Not the "figured it all out" version. the real, raw, in-the-middle-of-it kind of grief. She shares what it meant to cling to God when nothing made sense... when emotions were heavy, questions were loud, and the pain felt overwhelming. What does it look like to trust Him there? To keep holding on when your world feels like it's falling apart? This conversation is honest, tender, and full of quiet strength. If you've ever experienced loss, wrestled with grief, or wondered where God is in the middle of heartbreak - this episode is for you.

God Can't Take What You Won't Release

We hear all the time, "just let go and let God." But what does that actually look like when you're anxious, holding on, or afraid of what might happen if you release control? In this episode, we get real about why letting go is so hard, what we're actually holding on to, and how surrender isn't just a phrase, but it's a daily decision. If you've ever felt stuck between trusting God and trying to control everything, this conversation is for you.

"There is no way they are going to make it": A Conversation About Evangelism & Discipleship

In this episode we are honest about evangelism- what it is, what it isn't, and what we might be getting wrong. As Gen Z, there's a real hunger to be bold and "on fire" for God - but what happens when that fire has no foundation? We talk about how evangelism is often glorified, while discipleship gets overlooked... and why that imbalance matters more than we think. We dive into what it actually means to be discipled, how to grow in a way that lasts, and why fire without a wick doesn't burn for long. If you've ever felt pressure to say all the right things, be the "perfect" Christian, or constantly perform spiritually, this conversation is for you. This isn't about doing more. It's about going deeper.
