Know Your Enemy (2 Corinthians 11 : 13-14)

GOD IN THE MIDDLE (Ecclesiastes 4:12)

For so long, I chased validation... Whether it was wanting to be chosen by the right man, accepted by the cool groups of friends, or counting followers online. I thought THOSE would make me feel complete. But, nope. In this replay episode, I’m talking about what changed when I stopped making love about being picked and started understanding what it truly means to build relationships (and friendships and teams) with God at the center. If you’re praying for a love, marriage, or friendship that feels deeper than chemistry and stronger than circumstance, this conversation is for you.

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.
