10 Proverbs That Will Change the Way You Live

What if some of the best advice for life was written nearly 3,000 years ago? In this episode of Faith Is a Journey, we explore 10 powerful Proverbs and discuss how they apply to everyday life. From choosing the right friends and controlling your words to avoiding pride, working diligently, and growing in wisdom, these timeless principles are just as relevant today as they were when they were written. We also talk about why Proverbs isn't a book of guarantees, but a collection of practical wisdom that helps us navigate real life. Whether you're new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, this conversation will challenge you to slow down, reflect, and apply God's wisdom in your own life. In this episode, we discuss: * Why Proverbs are principles, not promises * How your friendships shape your future * The danger of pride and unchecked words * Why hard work beats empty talk * What "Iron Sharpens Iron" really means * Practical ways to apply biblical wisdom every day If you've ever wondered how the Book of Proverbs applies to modern life, this episode is for you.

Out of the Depths: Finding God in the Struggle

Psalm 130 begins with a cry from the depths. Before victory, before celebration, before relief, there is a person calling out to God in the middle of struggle. In this episode, we talk about why stories of redemption resonate so deeply with us. From worship music and country songs to movies and biblical examples, we explore how pain, repentance, forgiveness, and hope are woven throughout the Christian journey. Why do redemption stories hit us so hard? Why do songs about struggle often feel so real? And how do we hold on to hope without pretending life is always easy? Join us as we discuss Psalm 130, the prodigal son, the apostle Paul, and the promise Jesus gives us in John 16:33: "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

Many Are Called, Few Are Chosen: The Parable That Made Me Examine My Faith

In this episode of Faith is a Journey, I share a surprising moment that happened while reading my Bible. After opening to Matthew 22 and reading Jesus' Parable of the Wedding Feast, one verse stopped me in my tracks: "Many are called, but few are chosen." As we unpack the parable together, we explore what the wedding feast represents, why some rejected the invitation, and what it means that one guest was thrown out for not wearing the proper wedding garments. Most importantly, the passage led me to ask a difficult question: Am I truly trusting God, or am I just saying that I trust God? We discuss the difference between outward religion and genuine faith, the warning found in Matthew 7, and why this parable isn't about having a bad day or struggling with fear. It's about whether we're coming to God on our terms or His. If you've ever wrestled with doubts, wondered what Jesus meant by "many are called, but few are chosen," or found yourself examining your own faith, this conversation is for you. Scripture: Matthew 22:1-14

You Weren't Rejected. You Were Released.

After a painful job rejection, I realized I wasn't just chasing a coaching position. I was carrying a burden tied to my father's story, a burden God never asked me to carry. In this short episode, I share a personal lesson about rejection, legacy, loss, and the freedom that comes when God releases us from the weight of trying to prove ourselves.

Remember Lot’s Wife: Why We Keep Looking Back

In this episode of Faith Is a Journey, we talk about the story of Lot’s wife and why her story still matters today. Was her sin really just “looking back,” or was something deeper going on? We explore how fear, comfort, anxiety, grief, nostalgia, and attachment to the past can keep us spiritually stuck. From Jesus saying “Remember Lot’s wife” in Luke 17 to our own struggles with loss, pressure, control, and learning to trust God, this became one of the most personal conversations we’ve had. This isn’t a polished theology lecture. It’s a real kitchen-table conversation about scripture, life, and what it means to let go and move forward in faith. Topics we discuss: * The story of Lot and Lot’s wife * Why people struggle to let go * Fear of the unknown * Trusting God during uncertainty * Anxiety and control * Grief and moving forward * What Jesus meant by “Remember Lot’s wife” * How the past can keep us spiritually stuck “And don’t look back.”
