my dad had a stroke. God is still on the throne.
14 Nov 2025
00:16:10
this was filmed a couple weeks ago. trying to make sure i stay consistent.
hey homegirlsss. God started reminded me that His love for me is so much bigger than my love for Him. that sounds simple, but it’s something that changed the way i see everything.
so many of us have grown up in church believing we have to prove our love for God through effort. through serving, striving, and trying to do everything “right.” but what if the gospel was never about how much you love God, and instead about how deeply He loves you?
💭 in this episode, we talk about:
why God’s love for you matters more than your love for Him
the danger of living from self-righteousness and striving
how we misinterpret holiness without understanding love
📖 scriptures mentioned:
romans 12:2 — be transformed by the renewing of your mind
galatians 2:21 — if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing
psalm 103:8 — the Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love
john 10:10 — i came that they may have life, and have it abundantly
⏱ chapter markers: 00:00:29 – a hotel with no windows 03:00 – when faith starts to feel like performance 06:30 – God’s love vs our love 10:00 – the trap of self-righteousness 13:00 – living by the spirit, not by willpower 17:00 – God can be holy and still be Father 22:00 – stop striving, start resting 26:00 – final encouragement: let the Father love you
losing your fire for God is probably one of the most frustrated and destructive feelings to feel as a beliver. it's something we all struggle with as a believer at some point.
but i wanna go into not just that feeling but why chasing that “on fire” feeling can lead to guilt or self-righteousness, and how we can reframe our relationship with God to grow deeper, more sustainable faith.
i share my personal experience of losing that fire, chasing emotional highs in my faith, and how God has shown me the beauty of His constancy - even in the mundane.
what i talk about: ✨ why losing your fire for God doesn’t mean losing your faith ✨ how chasing spiritual highs can lead to self-righteousness and guilt ✨ the danger of idolising the feeling of fire over worshipping God ✨ practical ways to rekindle sustainable faith ✨ the power of seeing God in the mundane
scriptures i mention:
2 corinthians 12:9 – "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
lamentations 3:22-23 – "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning."
john 15:4 – "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me."
psalm 119:105 – "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."
why are you so comfortable not knowing your Bible?
11 Jan 2025
00:53:15
we are slowly becoming a generation where a “good christian” is about attending church, singing worship songs, and being kind to others. and all of these things are good... but where is the Bible in this?
how often are we actually in the word of God? how often do we have quiet time? how often do we make time to study deeply, outside of knowing the well-known verses?
in this episode, i go into the importance of knowing scripture - not just to say you’ve read it - but to allow it to shape your life.
God challenged me to be a woman who delights in His word, and i'm learning day by day to see how scripture is the foundation for handling life’s challenges, growing in wisdom, and becoming more like Christ.
what i talk about: ✨ why we’ve become a generation that focuses on christian activities, not biblical depth ✨ how knowing your word equips you to be a better disciple, friend, partner, and more ✨ the dangers of neglecting scripture: spiritual vulnerability, stagnation, and self-righteousness ✨ practical ways to take delight in the word, not see it as a chore
scriptures i mention:
psalm 119:105 – "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."
2 timothy 3:16-17 – "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness."
matthew 4:4 – "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God."
hosea 4:6 – "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."
jeremiah 15:16 – "Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart."
i pray this is a convicting but loving reminder to go deeper in your relationship with God by knowing His word 💕
it’s that time of year again new year, new resolutions, and endless vision boards. but as christians, are we submitting our plans to God? in this episode, i unpack the dangers of claiming “2025 is my year” without first seeking God’s will.
we talk about the pride that fuels this mindset, how the enemy deceives us with goals that aren’t in alignment with God, and why true peace and joy can only come from walking in obedience to His plans.
this episode is all about humbling ourselves, submitting to God’s sovereignty, and being obedient when He calls us to act. don’t get to the end of 2025 in the same place you are now - let God lead your year.
what i talk about:
✨ why saying “this is my year” detaches us from God’s sovereignty ✨ how pride and worldly ambition can lead to spiritual stagnation ✨ recognising when your goals aren’t in alignment with God ✨ the role of obedience in walking into God’s purpose for your life ✨ how the enemy uses distraction and deception to pull us away from God
scriptures i mention:
1 corinthians 3:18-20 – "let no one deceive himself. if anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. for the wisdom of this world is folly with God."
proverbs 16:9 – "the heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps."
psalm 37:4-5 – "delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act."
john 10:27 – "my sheep hear my voice, and i know them, and they follow me."
luke 11:28 – "blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it."
ephesians 3:20 – "now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us."
dating should push you towards God, not away. (feat. nas)
28 Dec 2024
00:52:42
dating as a christian comes with its challenges, but it’s also one of the most rewarding journeys when christ is truly at the centre. in this episode, nas and i go into what it means to date with purpose, how to honour God in your relationship, and the lessons we’ve learned along the way.
we share personal stories about balancing spiritual growth while dating, setting healthy boundaries, and navigating the cultural norms that often conflict with biblical truths.
what we talk about: ✨ why putting Christ first strengthens your relationship ✨ the importance of setting boundaries that honour God ✨ how spiritual growth impacts your relationship and future marriage
dating isn’t just about finding “the one” - it’s about glorifying God in how you love, honour, and grow with your partner. we hope this episode encourages you to reflect on your own relationships and take intentional steps towards a christ-centred love.
if you’re frustrated with the men in your life, it’s time to look at your standards... AND your standards of God. because the truth is, if your view of Him is shallow, your expectations for men will be too.
what i talk about: ✨ why you can’t expect a man to lead, protect, and honour you if you don’t even know what that looks like in God’s Word ✨ the dangers of settling for “good enough” and why it always leads to frustration ✨ how godly men lead in purity, purpose, and spiritual authority - don’t settle for less ✨ why your own relationship with God sets the tone for the kind of man you’ll accept
scriptures i mention:
proverbs 31:10 – "an excellent wife who can find? she is far more precious than jewels."
2 corinthians 6:14 – "do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers."
ephesians 5:25 – "husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her."
psalm 37:4 – "delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart."
matthew 6:33 – "but seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness."
proverbs 4:23 – "keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life."
if you’re out here settling for men who don’t reflect Christ, you need to pause. your standards of a man will only rise when your intimacy with God deepens. the closer you walk with Him, the clearer you’ll see what you deserve.
so many of us believe in the power of God’s forgiveness but still hold on to shame, guilt, and condemnation.
but that's a life of bondage because we can't truly recognise the gravity of Christ’s sacrifice and the freedom we now have in Him.
what i talk about: ✨ how unforgiveness of self is a rejection of God’s sovereignty ✨ the difference between conviction and condemnation (and how the enemy uses guilt to keep us trapped) ✨ the Old Testament vs. the new covenant of grace through Jesus ✨ why forgiving yourself isn’t about dismissing sin, but about surrendering it to God ✨ practical steps to release shame and walk in freedom
God’s forgiveness is final, sufficient, and complete. i pray this episode encourages you to embrace His grace fully and let go of the weight you’ve been carrying 💕
scriptures i mention:
romans 8:1 – "there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
isaiah 43:18-19 – "remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?"
psalm 103:12 – "as far as the east is from the west, so far does He remove our transgressions from us."
2 corinthians 5:17 – "therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. the old has passed away; behold, the new has come."
hebrews 10:14 – "for by a single offering He has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified."
isaiah 53:5 – "but He was pierced for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities; upon Him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with His wounds we are healed."
1 john 1:9 – "if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
ephesians 1:7 – "in Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace."
galatians 5:1 – "for freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery."
joel 2:25-26 – "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten."
the world tells us to put ourselves first, chase our truth, and make everything about us. but let’s be real: when we make ourselves the centre of the universe, we’re at war with God.
in this episode, i get real about how self-glorification (aka main character syndrome) directly opposes God’s purpose for our lives. i unpack why striving for control, validation, and self-exaltation doesn’t lead to freedom but to bondage.
what i talk about: ✨ what main character syndrome is and how it wars against God’s authority ✨ why putting yourself above God leads to spiritual emptiness ✨ the dangers of pride and self-glorification (spoiler: it never ends well) ✨ how to let go of control, surrender daily, and trust God fully ✨ the freedom, peace, and joy that come from living a life centred on Christ
scriptures i mention:
john 3:30 – "He must become greater; i must become less."
matthew 6:33 – "but seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."
proverbs 16:18 – "pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall."
luke 9:23 – "if anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me."
philippians 2:3-4 – "do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others."
today i'm talking about why true faith is rooted in a deep relationship with God and not in striving for spiritual achievements or trying to “will” ourselves into faith.
what i talk about:
why faith begins with knowing who God is, not striving to believe harder
how our relationship with God transforms our trust in Him
the importance of going back to the basics of the Gospel to build solid faith
how reading and reflecting on the Word helps us understand God’s character
i also am open and honest about my personal journey of learning to trust God in difficult seasons.
faith isn’t something we conjure up... it grows from spending time with the One who is faithful. when you stop striving and start trusting, you’ll discover the boldness, confidence, and peace that comes from truly knowing God.
i pray this episode encourages you to lean into your relationship with God, reflect on His Word, and let Him grow your faith 💕
why aren't you doing the thing God called you to do?
16 Nov 2024
00:35:46
that thing God called you to do—why haven’t you started it yet?
if you’ve been feeling convicted about putting off what you know He’s asked of you, i get it - but i'm encouraging you to not drown in excuses
what i talk about:
why we make excuses for not acting on God’s calling
how we often prioritise comfort and logic over obedience
the reality of surrendering to God’s plans, even when they’re inconvenient
trusting His timing and leading, even in small steps
scriptures that remind us of our purpose and God’s desire for our obedience
it’s time to stop overthinking and start moving in faith. God’s calling is intentional, loving, and full of purpose, but it requires us to step out, trust, and act.
i pray this episode encourages you to listen to His voice, set aside the excuses, and pursue what He’s put on your heart.
you are SO purposeful. in fact God created you on purpose, for a purpose. so you’ve got this, and God’s with you every step of the way.
americans - your divide about politics is not biblical.
09 Nov 2024
00:51:53
homegirls... this week i am hurt.
this episode dives into a topic that’s been weighing on my heart and i feel like it would be wrong to ignore: politics. particularly american politics.
the recent election has stirred strong opinions - fine. it's opened people's eyes to their opinions - fine. but what it's also done is that it's caused anger and divide within not just the world but the body of Christ.
it’s easy to let political preferences create division where there should be unity. but here's the truth – the divide we see isn't biblical.
what i talk about:
why no political figure or party should be placed above Jesus
how idolatry can creep in when we let politics consume us
why unity in the body of Christ matters more than winning an argument
how to navigate political differences with understanding and love
as believers, we need to lead with love, compassion, and the reminder that our faith binds us more than any political stance.
let’s learn to listen, understand, and keep our eyes on the One who is above it all. i pray this episode helps you reflect, reset, and put unity in the body of Christ first 💕
today’s episode is just a bit of a catch up because it's been a HOT minute.
but it's also a reminder that when life feels heavy, God is still working. the past few months have been ghettoooo. burnout, busyness, and just feeling pulled in every direction. but through it all, God’s been teaching me about purpose, patience, and obedience in the midst of chaos.
💭 in this episode, we talk about:
feeling like your passion has slipped away
navigating burnout and spiritual fatigue
trusting God when your calling feels impossible
balancing work, faith, and personal purpose
remembering that consistency doesn’t equal calling
how God can still use you in the weird/ uncertain seasons
📖 scriptures mentioned:
colossians 3:2 – set your minds on things above, not on earthly things
ephesians 2:10 –for we are God’s handiwork, created in christ jesus to do good works
esther 4:14 – you were called for such a time as this
john 10:10 – i came that they may have life, and have it abundantly
⏱ chapter markers: 00:00 – where i’ve been 02:00 – burnout 05:30 – spiritual warfare 07:00 – inconsistency 10:00 – perfectionism 12:30 – responsibility 14:00 – your calling is still valid 15:30 – God’s timing 18:00 – there’s still space for your voice 21:00 – update!
so many of us want christian friends, but when we look around, we’re either alone or surrounded by friends who aren't following God.
this episode dives into the real reasons behind that, from where we’re spending our time to how open we are to finding and keeping those god-centered friendships.
what i talk about:
the importance of community in faith and why christian friendships matter
how building christian friendships goes beyond just attending church
the impact of being around people who challenge and sharpen us spiritually
personal experiences of finding friends who are different from me but who help me grow closer to Jesus
true friendships aren’t about perfection but are built on the promises of God and a true reflection of His desire for us to be in community. i pray this convicts you and gives you a good perspective on moving forward 💕
hey homegirls! in this episode, i’m getting real about something i see a lot in our culture – how easy it is to use God as a way to elevate ourselves, rather than truly seeking Him for who He is.
it’s everywhere, and honestly, i get it.
deep down, a lot of us crave recognition, approval, or success, and a lot of the time we bring these desires right into our faith to the point where it's not even about our faith.
here’s what i talk on:
the ways christian culture can promote a surface-level, self-glorifying faith that misses the point
how social media is accustoming us to blend worldly desires with our faith, sometimes more than we realise
realigning with God’s purpose over our own, seeing worship and growth as ways to know Him deeply, not just ways to succeed
this episode is for anyone who may be treating faith like a self-glorifying booster rather than a humble refining experience with the Most High. i pray it helps you to take a step back, reassess, and grow closer to God’s true purpose for you 💕
hey homegirls! in this episode, i’m talking about what it really means to live a life with God at the centre – not just during highs but in the everyday moments.
it’s about making Him your lifestyle, above all the noise.
here’s what i talk on:
keeping God in focus daily – meditating on Him above sin, idols, and worries
learning how to enjoy God’s presence even when life feels ordinary
shifting from surface-level faith to one that’s consistent and rooted in trust
if you’ve ever struggled with keeping God first amidst life’s distractions, this one’s for you.
and if you're someone who needs to develop that powerful commitment beyond motivation, i pray this helps you to develop a better perspective and foundation 💗
i’m getting honest about something that’s been on my heart lately – how discipline, when not rooted in God, can slip into self-righteousness.
i delve into my personal journey of rediscovering my purpose, especially in content creation, and the challenges i’ve faced trying to balance my discipline with my faith.
here’s what i talk on:
the struggle of relying on my own strength vs. God’s
how fear and pride can sneak into our efforts, even when we think we’re doing the right thing
the tension between being stressed out like martha and surrendering like mary
i also talk about how the Holy Spirit has been working on my heart, reminding me that success in God’s eyes isn’t about numbers or output but about obedience and trust.
if you’ve ever felt frustrated when things don’t seem to align – even when you're working hard – you’ll definitely relate to this one and gain some perspective 💕
here are the scriptures i mentioned in the episode...
scriptures on seeking God:
Matthew 6:33
Hebrews 11:6
1 Chronicles 16:11
Jeremiah 29:11
Matthew 7:7-8
scriptures on purpose
Romans 8:28
Psalm 138:8
Pslam 57:2
Ephesians 2:10
and see below for all information on 'SOUND OF HOPE' the movie, it would be amazing if you went to watch. let's get behind christian entertainment - the more we watch and support - the more impact and opportunities it'll have.
we live in a world so full of God opposing and God mocking entertainment so let's make the most of the opportunities we have to support a God-driven movie 🎥
things they don't tell you about finding a man of God
05 Oct 2024
01:10:16
Hey homegirls, I'm baaaack.
I wanna first off apologise for not posting this last week - I got back from Portugal early hours of Saturday morning and I was EXHAUSTED. Not to mention, my week was busy in general but I'll fill you in more next week.
So here is the episode I meant to upload last week - we'll be back on track from now 💕
But onto the episode...
There's so much talk about finding a man of God - but not a lot of practical discussion. I've learned a lot, made mistakes and thankfully ended up in a loving relationship with my boyfriend, Nas.
In this episode, I go into...
Qualities that make a godly man and it’s MORE than just sharing the same faith
Navigating the challenges of submission, patience, and communication as a woman
Why it’s important to look for a man who’s committed to spiritual growth and emotional availability
I also touch on some personal reflections, like what it means to find someone who respects your purity and supports your spiritual walk.
Spoiler: it is NOT easy.
This episode is all about breaking down the myths and highlighting the real qualities to look for in a godly partner.
If you’re on the same journey, I hope this helps guide you along the way <3
girlllllll. this is a top i know none of you wanna talk about but we have to talk about it!
the world is so heavily consumed with self to the point where it's beginning to literally seep into christian culture. but why? is this God's plan?
and on a surface level, self-love is the very thing you should have as a human. surely that's a completely innocent, good thing that God would want you to have. well... it's more complex than that.
in this episode, i'll be talking about...
how thinking too heavily of 'self' can impact you
idols and why putting yourself as an idol is the worst idea ever
why Jesus' love is better than our love
it's one of those topics where it sounds hard hitting and overwhelming, but when you truly know God's heart on it, i pray it takes the weight away.
God wants the very best for you, and leaning on yourself to provide yourself the best simply isn't HIS BEST <3
hey homegirls, it’s ya gurlll (if you remember me).
it’s been a while, and life’s been a bit all over the place soooo keeping up with the podcast has been put on the back burner. but i'm back and this episode will explain.
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about my job and the drive i've had for it – especially with goals like saving for a house (gotta love adulting).
the real issue though, is that I realised i’ve been putting my job before EVERYTHING – even God...
and if i'm honest, it’s SO easy to let work take over and turn it into an idol, especially with how society tells you you gotta be earning 6 figures by the time you're 30. (so not realistic btw)
in this episode, i dive into...
how i’m learning to balance ambition with my faith
realising my job isn’t my real purpose
letting go of control and letting God lead
basically, this is just a brain dump of where i'm at and how God’s challenging me to rethink things.
i pray this episode gets you thinking about the idols you might not even realise you've made in your heart... KNOWING that God is greater.
some would say church has no use for them - and i was one of them. being raised in church can either make you a lover of church or a hater of it. and maybe hate was a strong word but i definitely had strong feelings about it. even as a christian those feelings didn't immediately go away but in this episode i delve into my feelings and how i challenged myself to get out of my comfort zone and find a church community where i truly feel at home.
i recently bought a new macbook air... scary. i didn't want to spend that level of money, i was tight fisted, holding on to my money. but then i realised: it's not my money. it's God's.
i'm a frugal person and my first thoughts when spending money on anything are:
is it necessary?
does it harm my saving plans?
(and the worst one) do i deserve it?
but if i truly sat and got in my word I would discover one thing: God is a God of abundance and He delights in blessing His WORTHY children.
but i thought i was a sinner not worthy of anything? if you look at yourself in the lens of the enemy, you will see that, but if you look at yourself in the lens of Christ, you'll see the opposite. it's time to reframe your mind and let God show you how valuable you are and how much you deserve things that bring you value.
hey homegirlssss. i have been AWOL but God is faithful.
in today’s episode, i wanted to talk about the chrsitians who are overwhelmed, tired, maybe sometimes inconsistent with the word and feeling guilty.
... basically, all of us at some point.
i’ve been in a season where everything has felt CRAZY (hence the absence): wedding planning, work, travelling… and somewhere in the middle of all of that, my time with God started to look different.
i used to feel like i needed to "get back" to how i used to be with God - hours in the Word, long study sessions, structured prayer. but lately, God’s just been whispering, “start somewhere.”
in this episode we talk about: ✨ the guilt we carry when our quiet time doesn’t look the same ✨ how God meets us in the busyness ✨ how starting small is still starting
scriptures mentioned: psalm 51:17 — “my sacrifice, o God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.” psalm 139:8 — “if i make my bed in sheol, you are there.” matthew 11:28 — “come to me, all who are weary…” psalm 1 — meditate on His Word day and night 1 thessalonians 5:17 — pray without ceasing
⏱ chapters: 00:00 – life update: london, wedding planning & being tired 01:50 – guilt from not “doing enough” for God 03:15 – remembering early days of faith 05:10 – God wants you, not performance 06:40 – reverence & friendship with Jesus 08:30 – psalm 51: a broken heart, not a perfect plan 10:00 – back to basics: verse of the day & devotionals 12:20 – spontaneous prayers & friendship with God 14:50 – why a 5-minute convo with God is still holy 16:10 – comparing God-time to fiancé-time 17:30 – faith in the small beginnings 18:40 – returning to the foundation: Jesus 19:30 – don't underestimate the "simple" truths
busyness: probably one of the hardest things to navigate as an adult... especially as an adult in the 21st century. not only are we busy navigating our day-to-day lives, but we're also being drained by the busyness of dreaming and planning. but what does God think? does He care? how does He want us to manage our time?
girl. i have been gone for TOO long. God has been convicting me on a lot and i promise this episode will explain. but also, happy new year! today i'm talking all about why we must commit our plans to God for this year to be truly prosperous — surrendering our ideas and leaning on God's eternal plan.
“you are what you listen to” is a phrase my mum would drill into me as a child.
did it truly understand what it meant? no.
do i understand it now as i reflect on the things i consumed and how they impacted me, both mentally & spiritually? yes.
but it’s a road that i don’t ever think i’ll get to the end of. we have to convict ourselves constantly about our mental diet and whether it’s glorifying to God.
in this episode, we delve into what things we need to be mindful of, such as TV, social media, influencers, politics, and music, as well as the things i personally have been convicted on.
every single one of us struggles with words. whether that's:
words of negativity
words of gossip
words of vulgarity
words of insults
we all come out with things that do not reflect God. but the strange thing is, do we take as much note of them as we would our outward sins?
the Bible tells us "the tongue is a world of unrighteousness" with the capability of causing mass destruction. do we ever think about how that destruction is not just outward but inward too?
continuing in the 'guard your heart' series, i delve into how words not only come from the heart but can further poison it and take us away from a relationship with God.
we've all been there. a guy has swept us off our feet and we're on cloud 9... until we're not. how many times will we let relationships be an idol in our hearts until we realise that what we were searching for was never in a relationship in the first place, but in God?
in this episode, i dive into why guarding our hearts is so vital in the concept of dating, standards, and sex. buckle your seatbelts.
"above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." a scripture we've all heard, but is it something we prioritise? short answer: no. most people believe that their hearts are good and trustworthy, hence the 'follow your heart' phrase. but in this episode, i explore why our hearts are truly "deceitful above all things" and why it's important to know that. this is the first episode of my new series: guard your heart.
fun and God is like oil and water to a lot of people. it doesn't mix, even if you wanted it to. but what if i told you that God created fun but you just got the wrong idea of it? in this episode i get real about the ways i used to define fun (namely through partying & drinking), how i became convicted, and how i'm learning what fun is in a godly context.
and spoiler: this is not a false, flowery version of fun, i legit have a lot of fun... MORE fun than before.
stillness encourages us to rest in God, laziness encourages us to rest in self. but how do we draw the line? in this episode, i dive into laziness, victim mentality and entitlement and encourage you to act... not out of your own strength but to be equipped by the Word and Spirit of God to have resilience and discipline in your walk.
welcome to the first EVER episode of the less of me podcast. here i explain everything. where i've been, why the new podcast, the reason behind the name and what i wish to achieve.
becoming a Christian at 18 was an experience i'd never take back, but Christian or not, being 18 you're automatically stupid.
i made a lot of mistakes in my early Christian days and had an undeveloped, selfish understanding of God where i made everything about me. God was a genie who, although i loved, i didn't love Him enough to surrender my plans to.
this podcast sets the tone of where i am at (well, where i am trying to be) and how i got to this place, whilst giving you scriptural advice on how you can do the same.
why we broke up. what every Christian couple should know.
25 Mar 2025
00:46:13
i just got engaged… so why am i talking about our breakup?
in this episode, i sit down with my fiancé to share the full story of how we went on a break for 9 months, why we chose to step away, and how God completely restored our relationship in a way only He could.
i have received COUNTLESS of messages and comments about this, with people going through similar and unsure of what the future holds. so we pray this helps anyone going through confusion, heartbreak, waiting, or wondering if restoration is even possible.
what we talk about:
✨ the reality of going on a break while still loving each other ✨ how spiritual immaturity ✨ why it was the best decision for both of us ✨ what it looked like to pray for each other even while apart ✨ awkwardness of reconnection ✨ how we knew it was time to get back together
and whilst i am so blessed for our love story, this isn't about us but about God’s grace, timing, and leadership over our lives.

this might be a hard pill to swallow but THE GOSPEL IS NOT ABOUT YOU. we hear the word gospel all the time. we know that Jesus died for us, we know that we are saved through Him. but do we really know the gospel?
in this episode, i reflect on my five-year journey as a christian and how the most transformational thing i’ve learned is that the gospel is not about me. i spent so much time striving to be perfect, thinking i had to earn my place with God, but that completely misses the point of what Jesus has done.
understanding the gospel means understanding grace. it means no longer striving to be good enough but learning to rest in the freedom that Christ has already given us.
what i talk about:
✨ how striving for perfection almost made me miss the gospel ✨ the difference between the old and new covenant ✨ what Jesus means for our lives ✨ who the Holy Spirit is and why He transforms everything ✨ why so many christians believe in grace but still live as if they have to earn it
scriptures i mention: ephesians 2:8-9 "for by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
john 14:6 "Jesus said to him, ‘i am the way, and the truth, and the life. no one comes to the Father except through me."
2 corinthians 5:17 "therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. the old has passed away; behold, the new has come."
john 16:13 "when the spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth."
galatians 5:22-23 "but the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control."
romans 8:1 "there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
hebrews 8:6 "but as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant He mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises."
reflection questions:
1. am i living in the fullness of what Jesus has done for me, or am i holding myself back out of shame or the desire to be perfect?
2. do i see the Holy Spirit as my guide, or am i still trying to do everything in my own strength?
this homegirl is a FIANCÉE 🥹💍 this is one of the most surreal moments of my life, and i couldn’t wait to share it with you all.
if you’ve been on this journey with me - from my teenage years, to coming to Christ, to the ups and downs of relationships - you’ve seen how God has MOVED in my life.
in this episode, i'm just reflecting on my engagement to Nas, what this moment means to me, and how God has worked so intentionally in my life.
I also wanted to encourage you all that is a testimony of God’s faithfulness. how He restores, redeems, and aligns everything for His glory.
how often do you go to God because you want Him - not because you want something from Him?
in this episode, i unpack how we can fall into the trap of treating God like a genie: someone to grant our wishes rather than worship as our holy, sovereign Father. i share my own story of idolising my desires and seeing God as a means to an end - and how that mindset left me spiritually stagnant.
but here’s the truth: God loves us too much to give us everything we ask for.
His blessings are in accordance with His will, not ours. and when we live in surrender, we experience transformation far beyond what we could ever imagine.
what i talk about: ✨ why treating God like a genie is dangerous to your faith ✨ how God’s sovereignty works above human desires ✨ the destructive nature of the human heart and why God withholds certain things ✨ practical ways to shift your mindset from self-serving to God-serving ✨ why God’s rejection is often His protection
