The Power of God With Us (Advent Week #4)

The Power of God With Us (Advent Week #4)

In a season filled with noise, expectations, and longing, the greatest gift we’re offered isn’t answers…it’s presence. In this Week 4 Advent episode, Allyson is joined by her friend Pastor TJ Schaefer to talk about Emmanuel, the God who chose nearness over distance. Together, they explore what it means that Jesus didn’t stay far off, but entered our waiting, our uncertainty, and our everyday lives. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, quiet your heart, and rediscover the power of God with us.

Trusting God in the Middle (Advent Week #3 Pt. 2)

Join Ally and Evangelist Lori Pickens as they dive into the beauty and purpose of the journey—not just the destination. In this heartfelt conversation, they explore how God shapes, teaches, and molds us through the seasons of life, even when the road is challenging or uncomfortable. Together, they discuss how the journey prepares us to fully receive and appreciate what God has for us, and how His presence transforms the way we navigate our current circumstances. Whether you’re in a season of waiting, growth, or transition, this episode will encourage you to trust God as the God of your journey and the God of your destination.

Why the Journey Matters More Than You Think (Advent Week #3 Pt. 1)

We all rush to the destination, but God is most at work in the middle of the journey. In Part One of this two-part podcast, we explore how He shapes our hearts and faith, preparing us for what’s ahead. This Advent, the challenge is to let God search our hearts and be God in the journey…not just at the finish line. Part Two drops later this week!

The Truth About God’s Promises (Advent Week #2)

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Pastor Jonathan Mendoza for a real, heart-level conversation about the promises of God…the ones written in Scripture and the ones we often wish He would make to us. Jonathan shares how God’s promises met him in a very real, very personal season of his life, and we talk honestly about the tension between longing and fulfillment. We also dig into how to actually stand firm on God’s Word, how to revisit and remember His promises, and why anchoring yourself in Scripture brings more stability than chasing personalized promises we hope He’ll speak. If you’re longing, waiting, or needing fresh faith, this one will meet you right where you are!

Three Lies Culture Tells You About Waiting (Advent Week #1)

In this episode, we unpack three cultural lies about the “waiting spaces” in our lives and replace them with Kingdom truth. Together, we realign our hearts to what Scripture actually says about waiting and how God meets us in the in-between.
