How I Met My Fiancé (Proverbs 31:25)

This replay is part engagement Q&A, part dating pep talk, and totally a reminder that God’s timing and plans are so much better than anything we could force for ourselves... I’m sharing how Honey and I met, when he knew, when I knew, why dating sober changed everything for us, and what it felt like to finally experience a relationship that was peaceful, steady, and rooted in God. If you’re single, waiting, dating, overthinking, or wondering what healthy love is actually supposed to feel like, I hope this reminds you to create joy where you are, stop confusing chaos for chemistry, and trust that God is still writing your story.

Stop Playing Hard to Get (Proverbs 31:10)

If the dating strategies aren’t working, maybe it’s because you were never supposed to be playing games in the first place… In this episode, I’m talking about the dating tricks you were taught: playing hard to get, waiting to text back, making the first move, being as easy to date as possible, and all the little ways we try to make dating “work” while quietly burning out from dating and losing ourselves in the process. There comes a point when you have to stop asking, “Why isn’t this working?” and start asking, “Why am I trying so hard to make this work?” Bible Verses: Proverbs 31 : 10 Proverbs 18 : 22 Ephesians 5 : 25 Watch This: HE Who Finds a Wife https://youtu.be/tc3-jcb2V68 [https://youtu.be/tc3-jcb2V68] Stop Looking for a HUSBAND https://youtu.be/c-4MtIyEei0 [https://youtu.be/c-4MtIyEei0] How to Talk to God (feat.

Five Bible Verses When You're Anxious, Worried, Overthinking or Just Scared (Matthew 6:34)

There are seasons when your thoughts feel so loud, so heavy, and so out of control that you barely recognize yourself... In this episode, I’m sharing five Bible verses for anxiety, fear, worry, overthinking, and the moments when you feel like you have no idea what to do next. If you’ve been spiraling, grieving, panicking, stressing about money, replaying the worst-case scenario, or quietly wondering where God is in all of this, I hope this helps you feel a little less alone.

Be the BRAVE One to Talk About God First (Mark 16:15)

Your relationship with God may be personal, but that doesn’t mean it was meant to stay hidden... In this episode, I’m talking about what it looks like to stop separating your faith from the rest of your life and start bringing God into the small, normal, everyday moments. If you’ve ever felt afraid to talk about Jesus because you don’t know enough, aren’t “Christian enough,” or don’t want to sound preachy, I hope this helps you say it out loud.

STUCK in a Loop (Romans 12:2, Mark 11:24)

I found the journals I wrote before I met my fiancé, and honestly, they explained SO MUCH... In this episode, I’m talking about the prayers, patterns, dating choices, manifestations, and worldly advice that kept me stuck in a loop long before I could recognize what God actually had planned for me. (As it turns out, I kept telling myself I trusted God’s timing, but my actions, standards, and relationships told a very different story.) If you’ve been praying for love, clarity, or change (but secretly trying to control the entire outcome), I hope this helps you see what God may be trying to renew in you first.
