The Thing I Ignored in My Faith for Years.

You Have More Authority Than You Think

We talk about the weight our words carry and how speech can either bring life or bring harm. We also challenge ourselves to listen better, change what we consume, and let Jesus shape what comes out of our mouths.  • Why words stick with people for years  • practicing James 1:19 by listening first and speaking more slowly  • asking “How are you really?” and meaning it  • Proverbs 18:21 and the power of the tongue  • choosing encouragement over foul or harsh language from Ephesians 4:29  • how friends, music, TikTok, and media shape your mindset and speech  • Luke 6 and the idea that words reveal what is in the heart  • practical habit changes and accountability without shame

The Thing I Ignored in My Faith for Years.

For so long, I ignored this part of my faith because I thought it didn't apply to me. Broke, young, in college, I don't have a lot of money! But I do have some, and in this episode, I tell you about the ways God radically impacted me and created a deeper dependence on him when I started tithing and giving back. It's easy to feel like this doesn't apply because we don't have a certain amount of money, but that's not the case at all. When we give, we have open hands for God to bless us even more! Listen to this episode to learn more about my faith journey as I relate it to money!

My Favorite Bible passage & what I would’ve told myself when I graduated High School

Everyone asks “What’s next?” and somehow that question starts to sound like a verdict. I’m fresh off a long road trip, back with my family for the summer, and thinking about what I wish I could tell my high school self now that I’ve graduated college. If you feel behind, uncertain, or tired of trying to map your entire future before you’ve even lived it, you’re not alone and you’re not failing. We talk honestly about anxiety and pressure around choosing a major, picking a career, and figuring out a calling at 18. I share why it’s okay if your path changes, why you can take life one day at a time, and how trusting God’s timing can quiet the fear of missed opportunities. We also get real about friendships: how to be intentional without trying to juggle everyone, why seasonal friendships can still be God honoring, and how to let a chapter close without gossip or resentment. Then we slow down and read all of 2 Corinthians 4 (NLT), line by line, and let it speak. We sit with the image of “fragile clay jars,” the reminder that our power is from God, and the call to tell the truth without twisting Scripture. We also talk spiritual reality in a broken world, how to serve others with humility, and why “pressed on every side, but not crushed” is more than a quote when you’re walking through suffering. If this encourages you, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s in a transition, and leave a review so more people can find the show. What part of your life feels most uncertain right now?

How do we act as sheep to the good shepherd?

In this episode, I read passages like Psalm 23, and Jesus leaving the 99 for the one, talking about what this means for us as Christians. I discuss the importance of building dependence on Jesus and encourage believers as they look to Jesus as their own shepherd in their lives.

Why Manifesting Feels Harmless And Isn’t

We talk about why manifesting is so normal in everyday talk and why it can subtly move our trust from God to the “universe” or our own will. We connect modern spiritual trends to what Scripture says about witchcraft, superstition, freedom in Christ, and the daily choice to crucify sin instead of excusing it.   *  defining manifesting and why it feels harmless   * treating the universe like a higher authority   * spiritual roots and why intention-based spirituality conflicts with the gospel   * stories and warnings around witchcraft and getting what we want fast   * Leviticus and Deuteronomy on sorcery, mediums, and false spiritual power   * evil eye symbolism, myths, and why Christians rely on prayer   * Galatians 5 on freedom, flesh, and fruit of the Spirit   * pride, being blind to sin, and learning to receive correction   * social media influence, identity confusion, and testing feelings against truth   *  confessing sin, finding accountability, and walking with godly community
