I Learned About Holy Tension

I Learned About Holy Tension

When you're going through stuff and you can't identify what you're battling, it can feel not easy to find a solution. When God revealed to me the concept of holy tension, it completely changed the game for me. Join us as we explore the theme of holy tension in relation to faith, growth, and navigating new seasons in life.

Expectations vs Entitlement

In this episode, we're getting honest about the difference between faith and entitlement. I share a moment when God had to check me — because what I called “faith” was really frustration that things weren’t happening on my timeline. If we’re not careful, our expectations can drift into pride when they’re not rooted in obedience and surrender. God doesn’t owe us anything — and that’s not a threat, it’s a reminder of grace. We talk about what it looks like to crucify expectations that weren’t birthed in faith, how to keep Christ at the center of your waiting season, and what real trust looks like in motion.

Conviction vs. Condemnation

Romans 8:1 declares that those in Christ Jesus are free from condemnation. So, if condemnation doesn't come from God because we're in Jesus, what is condemnation, and where does it come from? And what is conviction? Let's get into it.

Examining the Heart's Posture

In Psalm 139:23-24, the Psalmist asks God to search his heart for anything unrighteous, to search his anxious thoughts, and to lead him on the right path. That's accountability, humility, and desperation to be closer to the Father. In this episode, we're discussing the importance of introspection, examining the heart's posture, and its benefits.

But...Is It God?

Everything that glitters isn’t gold, beloved. Now more than ever, it’s imperative that we open our spiritual eyes to perceive what’s happening around us. The Bible says to test all spirits to know whether it’s from God. But, how do we do that? Let’s talk about it!
