How to Make New Friends as an ADULT (Proverbs 18:24)

Breaking Toxic Dating Patterns (1 Peter 5:8)

You keep telling yourself it was just bad luck, poor timing, or the wrong guy, but what if there’s a deeper pattern God is trying to help you see... In this episode, I’m talking about toxic dating patterns, ignored red flags, drinking on dates, and some of the ways we accidentally settle for less and date down. If you’re tired of attracting emotionally unavailable or emotionally immature men and asking why the same thing keeps happening, this conversation is for you (because it happened over and over and over to me).

Why Your Family Won't Take You SERIOUSLY (Mark 6:3-4)

You keep waiting for their approval before you go for the BIG thing, but a part of you already knows it may not be coming (at least not anytime soon) ... And here's the TRUTH: Sometimes the people who love you most are the ones who have the hardest time seeing who you’re becoming. (Not even JESUS was taken seriously in his own hometown.) If you’ve ever felt dismissed, underestimated, or quietly desperate for someone close to you to finally understand this version of you, this conversation is for you.

Dating God's Way (Waiting Until Marriage) feat. Alex Weber

You’ve been trying to date your way for long enough, and it's just not working (maybe you find yourself in the same patterns over and over again). So, maybe it's time to try something different... In this episode, Alex Weber shares how he met, dated, fell in love with, got engaged to, and married his wife Jessica in less than a year, after finally surrendering his relationships to God. (UPDATE: NOW THEY'RE HAVING A BABY!) We talk about dating God’s way, praying with your partner, being equally yoked, sobriety, boundaries, and why the right person will not make you shrink your faith.

JESUS IS THE VINE (John 15:5)

There are moments when you think what you need is rest, a reset, a vacation, or a break from everything, when what you really need is to get reintroduced to the presence of God. In this episode, we're talking about Jesus as the vine, us as the branches, and the ways we accidentally plug into Instagram, comparison, attention, control, and everything else before we plug back into Him. If you’ve been feeling disconnected, exhausted, or spiritually dry, I hope this helps you come back to NUTRIENTS of your true source.

Fasting, Meditation, and REALLY Trusting God (feat. Ivory Hecker)

If you’ve been trying to control the outcome, break an old pattern, or figure out why the thing you want so badly keeps feeling blocked, GIRL, we feel your struggle. In this conversation with Ivory Hecker, we talk about the ways in which we resist trusting God, how spiritual warfare will try to sabotage your progress, and the POWER of meditation, forgiveness, and BIBLICAL fasting. If you’ve been praying for the husband, the healing, the clarity, or the breakthrough (but still trying to control how it happens -- maybe you've even considered an Etsy witch LOL), this one is for you...
