37: Praying for Your Spouse, Feminine Products + Male Bonding

Have you ever wanted to get inside the mind of a man? There have been analogies of how men come from Mars and women from Venus. Or that men's minds are like waffles, and women’s like spaghetti. Whatever you think, I’ve done a little digging so you don’t have to continue to wonder why men think the way that they do. In a series of three episodes, I’ve gathered male friends of mine, married and single, to answer questions that women want to know about men, and let me tell you, it gets deep! In this episode, I chop it up with Emmy and Zander about why men don’t go as deep in their relationships like women, if praying for your future spouse is even beneficial or something either of them did, and we even touch a little on some men’s choice of feminine products for their woman. If you’re looking for some insight mixed with a lot of laughs, then this is the episode for you. Stay tuned! Related: Christian Dating, pt. 2 (feat.

34: Rest, Rhythms, and Relaxation In God’s Plan (feat. Timi Komonibo)

As we're going into the new year, thinking about how to best tackle our goals, lives, and things we want to accomplish, rest can oftentimes be put on the back burner. I want to encourage you to make rest a priority as we go into 2022. In this final episode of season four, I talk to creative, entrepreneur, and productivity queen Timi Komonibo about the art of staying and the art of rest. For a whole calendar year, God told Timi to go on a sabbatical with no titles, no roles, and stepping away from being somebody's boss. The goal: just to be with God. We also dig into provision in the midst of an unfamiliar place, identity shifts and understanding who God has called you to be, recognizing cycles and rhythms of rest, and how rest is more than sleeping and self-care.

33: Using Social Media to Share Your Identity In Christ

Did you know that before 2016, there was no definition for the term “influencer” on Dictionary.com?! Crazy to think, right? We use that term so much nowadays that it's easily a part of our vocabulary. Currently, it’s so popular to be an influencer or categorize someone as such, whether on social media, in thought, activism, words or more. What if I told you that being an influencer is actually biblical? What if being an influencer is not just a cultural norm, but the way God wants us to be and live our lives, as that of an influencer. In this episode, I break down how we can be influencers for Christ in our everyday social media lives...that your real life and social persona don’t have to be separate, or even forced. I also touch on social media as a vehicle through which ministry happens, our personal spheres of influence, being an example and how our actions teach people how to treat us, and developing your message.
