Obedience Before Understanding: Choosing Faith Over Control (S4 E1)

This episode marks a new season of Love Letters from Lys!!! Today, we’re talking about what it really looks like to walk in obedience before you understand the full plan. I’m sharing my heart behind the podcast rebrand, the story of how Red Letter Saves came to life, and the quiet ways God has been teaching me to choose faith over control. We reflect on highs, lows, and holy moments, explore how to discern God’s voice, and talk through a practice called listening prayer—creating space to hear from Him instead of rushing ahead for answers. If you’re in a season where God is asking you to trust Him without clarity, to move without a map, or to surrender control before understanding—this episode is for you. 🤍 You don’t need all the answers to take the next step.🎧 Come sit with me. 📩 Interested in joining Red Letters Save on January 15?

To: The One on the Fence | Faith, Life Updates & a New Ministry Beginning (S3 E7)

What do you do when you’re curious about God… but unsure where to start? When you love Him, but feel lukewarm? When you’ve been hurt by church? When you’re standing somewhere in the middle? In today’s episode, I’m speaking directly to the one on the fence — and sharing what God has been teaching me in real time about grace, obedience, relationships, community, and daily faith. I open up about my recent season with God, what it looks like to step off the fence one small step at a time, and how choosing Him doesn’t just change your faith life — it changes everything. I’m also sharing a very special ministry update that the Lord placed on my heart: ✨ Red Letters Save ✨ On January 15, we’ll be gathering to worship, pray, and hand-write letters to people God places on our hearts — speaking life, truth, and the love of Jesus over them and sending it in the mail. This is a gentle, personal way to share the Gospel and remind people they are seen and loved. If you’ve been feeling curious, stuck, weary, or quietly longing for more — this episode is for you. 🎧 Topics in this episode: * What it means to live “on the fence” with God * Being saved by grace, not performance (Ephesians 2) * How the enemy uses insecurity and shame * Learning to love, trust, and surrender control in relationships * Finding community + witnessing fruit through obedience * Red Letters Save ministry vision & invitation 📩 Interested in joining Red Letters Save on January 15?

To: The One in the Wilderness - Faith in the In-Between (S3 E6)

This episode is for the one who feels a little lost right now — the one trying to trust God but not sure what He’s doing. I’ve been there. Honestly, I’m still there sometimes. In this episode, I share a story from a season that felt like the wilderness — where everything felt quiet and uncertain, but God was still moving behind the scenes. If life feels heavy or unclear, I hope this reminds you that what looks like waiting might actually be preparation. God hasn’t forgotten you. 🤍 Sound Bites "Because of Christ, you are free."
