Why do we sometimes snap, get defensive, lie, or say things we regret with the people we love? In this episode, we explore why our intentions and reactions don’t always match, using Peter’s denial of Jesus and everyday habits as examples. We unpack why willpower alone doesn’t change us and how the Holy Spirit reshapes our hearts through awareness, practice, and spiritual disciplines.

Let’s open the Bible and walk through James 2 together! We talk about the key take aways, exploring how they relate to our world today…like judging others, gossip, idolizing celebrities, and why true faith not only saves but also produces good works.

I also share a spiritual practice called Lectio Divina, an intentional way to engage with Scripture through reading, meditation, prayer, and resting in God’s presence. If you want to learn more and try it for yourself, check out this ⁠helpful website⁠

We’ve all heard the phrases: “Follow your heart.” “Everything happens for a reason.” “God won’t give you more than you can handle.”

But what if these phrases actually do more harm than good?

In this episode, I unpack popular Christian sayings and compare them with what Scripture actually reveals. We talk about suffering, happiness, following your heart, and what “I can do all things through Christ” really means in seasons where everything is falling apart.

Let's open the Bible and walk through James 1 using an ancient practice called Lectio Divina, a intentional way to read Scripture that has been used for centuries. It moves through four simple steps: reading the text carefully, meditating on what stands out, praying in response to what God reveals, and resting quietly in His presence to then act it out.

We talk about trials, asking God for wisdom, and why peace can come before circumstances change. This is for anyone who feels unsure how to read the Bible or wants a deeper, more personal relationship with God. Or if you want a fun little Bible study to get you thinking deeper about James 1!

Feeling lost after a breakup (or any change in life) and unsure what God wants you to do next? In this episode, we talk about those seasons (not just breakups) when God feels silent, drawing from personal experience, Scripture, and practical spiritual disciplines.

In this episode, we cover:

- Common reasons God might feel silent

- How to obey what He has already revealed

- Why focusing on who you’re becoming matters more than knowing every next step

Today we are going back to the basics and talking about who Jesus is, why I choose to believe in Him and what it means to follow him in our daily life (and be a Christian!)

Some topics we cover:

How salvation works and the difference between faith and works

• Core practices Jesus modeled: prayer, Scripture, fasting, generosity, silence, and more
• How following Jesus is more about transformation than knowledge

This episode isn’t just about knowledge. It’s about living out your faith in daily life and apprenticing yourself to Jesus, no matter where you’re at in your journey!

Breaking up with my phone... for a week lol. So I tried a week-long digital detox to unplug from screens and social media—and I definitely failed in some ways, but the results were amazing. In this episode, I share the wins, the struggles, and the lessons I learned about focus, presence, and connecting with God in our modern world.

We’re talking about 10 habits, mindsets, or relationship patterns that may be normalized… but are actually keeping us stuck. Like the fear of starting over, falling in love with potential, blurry boundaries, avoiding hard conversations, people-pleasing, guilt, and holding onto things God has been asking us to release.

As we start 2026 I feel like this is a perfect time for a gentle reset by asking yourself: what am I not bringing with me into 2026?

In this episode, I look back at 2025—a year I may not have achieved all my goals, but sure did learn a lot. Looking ahead to 2026, we chat about skipping unrealistic expectations, taking small faith-centered steps, leaning on God, and focusing on who He wants us to become—not just what we check off a list. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or hopeful for a fresh start, this one’s for you.

(also next week there will be no podcast episode... taking a little new year's reset as I mentioned in this pod)

Let’s talk about how the holiday season amplifies expectations—about joy, relationships, and New Year goals. We’ll explore why unmet expectations, especially after breakups or disappointments, hurt so much. And how to trust God’s timing and let go of expectations

In this episode, I talk about what to do when your past keeps resurfacing and how I experienced this during big life transitions like getting engaged. I share how guilt, regret, and old memories once haunted me, and how God used those moments not to condemn me, but to bring healing, clarity, and growth. This episode is for anyone struggling to forgive themselves, process old wounds, or move forward without being pulled back by who they used to be.

Today, let’s talk about how everything you consume—music, movies, books, social media, even relationships—shapes who you are, often without you realizing it.

We’ll dive into things like:

• How breakup songs keep you stuck in bitterness or a victim mindset

• How your friends’ negative body talk becomes your own inner voice

• Why “cutting people off for your peace” isn’t always the healthy choice

• Taking intrusive thoughts captive before they become your beliefs

I’m sharing practical tips for guarding your heart while leaning on Scripture, Proverbs 4:23.

Let’s talk about the most common breakup and relationship questions I get, like:

• “How do I know if I’m ready for a new relationship?”

• “How do I give them space without losing them?”

• “How do you rebuild trust after betrayal or micro-cheating?”

• “Can someone maintain a healthy relationship while struggling with destructive habits?”

I’ll share how faith, perspective, and practical steps can help you move forward stronger, wiser, and ready to love yourself first.

I talk with my friend Eliana about spotting red flags in a partner and in yourself. We dive into how to grow as a person while you’re single and what godly maturity actually looks like. We cover emotional maturity, self-control, communication, and modesty, sharing our own dating and marriage stories to help you build healthy relationships and grow closer to God.

Scriptures Mentioned:

• Titus 1:5–9 (for men)
• Titus 2:3–5 (for women)
• 1 Corinthians 13

In this episode, I talk about common relationship misconceptions, like:

• “I thought he was the one just because he’s Christian,”

• “I prayed for God to remove him, He didn’t, so we should stay together,” or

• “He was the one and I’ll never find anyone else because of all my mistakes.”

I also dig into modesty, heart posture, and why character, growth, and faith alignment matter more than labels. Plus, I share practical advice for singles on building relationships that really reflect God’s principles.

I share my journey from going through the motions of faith to truly connecting with God. From breakups to marriage, I reflect on prayer, solitude, and reading the Bible as ways to grow intimacy and face hard emotions. I also talk about struggling with loneliness and what the Lord has been teaching me.

Whether you have unforgiveness toward an ex, a friend who hurt you, or even yourself, learning to forgive is essential. In this episode, we talk about what Jesus says about others, practical steps to do it, and why it’s so important for your peace and spiritual health.

We will talk about what scripture says about silence and solitude, and a simple step-by-step guide to help you start meeting God in the quiet.

Have you ever wondered why there’s so much suffering? Or why bad things happen to good people? Especially with everything going on lately, it can be hard to make sense of it.

Are you only coming to God for answers? In this episode, we dive into why we often feel lonely or disconnected from Him—and it’s not because He’s absent. The real issue is that we’re chasing answers instead of cultivating a true relationship, which often leaves us feeling even more confused and alone.

We all want deep, meaningful community—but most of us leave when conflict shows up. In this episode, we unpack the myth of the perfect community, the messiness of the early church, and how God uses conflict to form us into people of love.

(This conversation is not about enduring abuse or staying in unsafe situations. We're talking about everyday conflict—the kind that comes with real, imperfect people—and how it can actually be the soil for spiritual growth)

In this episode, I’m joined by my husband as we open up about our journey — from breaking up to finding our way back to each other and eventually getting married.

We share honestly about how our relationship began, what wasn’t working, and how we broke up.

If you’ve ever questioned a relationship, dealt with anxiety about love, or wondered if God can restore what feels broken — this episode is for you.

And in Part 2, we’ll share how we ended up getting back together and reflect on the last year and a half of our relationship.

Watch on ⁠⁠YOUTUBE⁠In this episode, I’m answering YOUR questions about dating, marriage, breakups, and navigating relationships through a Christ-centered lens:

-“What are some good conversations to have before getting engaged or married?”

- “Can guys and girls really be just friends?”

- “Can a relationship be redeemed if you’ve fallen into sexual sin?”

- “How do you know if you’re ready for a relationship — or if someone is from God?”

- “Do you believe God has a specific person planned for each of us?”

(Watch on YOUTUBE) In this episode, I’ll be answering YOUR breakup questions from my own experience (mainly from the breakup I had with my now-husband)Some questions I’ll be answering:

- “What were the red flags that caused you to break up?”

- “What if they ended it because they weren’t sure you were the right one?”

- “Should you seek closure if it ended well but still left questions?”

- “How do you actually go no contact when they’re all you think about?”

- “How did you know when it was time to come back together? How long were you broken up for”

In this episode, we talk about how to navigate uncertainty when you’re unsure of God’s plan for your life. I share how it’s okay not to have a 20-year plan and how focusing on your passions and staying faithful in the small things or what God has placed before you know, can lead to clarity.

I'm finally sharing the full story (well, as much as I can fit into an hour!) of how my fiancé and I went from breaking up in 2023 to preparing for marriage now in 2025. I’ll take you through how we met, how our relationship began—and eventually ended—and the incredible journey of how God brought us back together. I’ll share what led us to start our relationship AGAIN, the lessons I’ve learned over the past year, and how those lessons have shaped our path to marriage!

In this episode, we’re diving into what it means to experience true joy—not the kind of fleeting, picture-perfect happiness you see in holiday movies, but a joy that’s grounded in something far deeper. This is the joy of Jesus—a joy that’s available to you all year long, regardless of your circumstances.

We also talk about how desiring happiness is NOT wrong but what is wrong is the way our culture goes about pursuing it. Lastly, I’ll share how joy and sorrow can coexist, and how, no matter where you are in life, you can access this happiness that comes from the Holy Spirit

In this episode, we’ll dive into how to break free from negative thinking cycles with 5 practical steps. Building on the idea from our last episode—that changing your thoughts can transform your life—we’ll go deeper into the “how.”

Drawing insights from Dr. Caroline Leaf’s Switch on Your Brain, we’ll cover:

• My current state in my mental health and how this book has impacted me
• Why your thoughts matter: The science of quantum entanglement, mirror neurons, and their biblical connections to unity and empathy
• The 21-day mindset shift: How to rewire automatic negative thoughts in 21 days
• The 5-step framework for freedom: Gather, Focused Reflection, Write, Revisit/Replace, and Active Reach

In this episode, we’ll dive into what it means to "be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2) and how both Scripture and science reveal how our thought life can influence our choices, actions, and life.

After reading the book “Switch on your brain” by Dr. Caroline Leaf I wanted to share my insights with you:

• Why our thoughts matter: How the Bible and science align in showing that our minds influence our brain, body, and behavior.
• How to take thoughts captive: My personal experience with OCD and intrusive thoughts and how to catch a toxic thinking pattern.
• The power of choice: Why we do not have to be victims of our biology (example: "her mom has depression, so she will too"- not 100% accurate), but co-creators of our future alongside God.
• Rest and renewal: How entering “directed rest” can deepen your connection with God, boost mental clarity, and bring peace (Psalm 46:10).

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how renewing your mind is not only possible but essential for living in alignment with God’s design for your life!

In this episode, we’ll explore what it means to treat your body as a “temple of the Holy Spirit”—specifically, 5 key practices to prioritize for your physical health.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• Why I took a break from posting fitness content
• Why being good stewards of our bodies matters, even though they’ll one day "waste away"
• 5 foundational ways to care for your body: sleep, nutrition, nervous system regulation, movement, and hydration
• How caring for your health is an act of worship and faithfulness to God
• How to focus on what you can control—without fear-mongering

In this episode, I’m diving into some of the big questions I had when I first became a Christian. To make it even more meaningful, I asked you these same questions on Instagram and will be sharing some of your responses as well!

Here’s what we’ll explore together: 1. Why are we (humans) here on earth— what is our purpose, why were we created? How would you learn what your purpose is?

2. What happens when one becomes a Christian? (broad question but answer in as great of depth as you want). What are the next steps?

3. What does it mean to have a relationship with the Lord, and how do we develop it?

I have some big news that I just announced on Instagram—I’m engaged! But before I share the story, I want to discuss something we all face: change. A year ago, I was navigating heartbreak, clinging to the verse in Ecclesiastes: “There is a season for everything.”

Life is full of seasons—singleness, relationship struggles, and joyful moments—and each one has a purpose. In this episode, I talk about how I’ve learned the importance of staying present and letting God work in the here and now instead of longing for the past or rushing into the future.

Also, the book I mentioned is Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas

In this episode, I want to talk about how our past influences our present and future and why it's crucial to confront it. Sometimes, we need to go back to go forward. This leads us to explore these topics:

• My personal experience with holding on to emotional baggage and how it affected how I viewed God
• Common misconceptions about healing through religious activity alone
• Why we must go back to move forward: generational impacts, family patterns, and invisible scripts
• Practical steps for addressing deep-rooted behaviors and finding healing in Christ

I also highly recommend reading the book Emotionally Healthy Sprituality by Peter Scazzero

In today’s episode, I’m diving into the concept of creating a healthy lifestyle that is truly centered on God. Many of us, including myself, have found ourselves compartmentalizing our faith—attending church on Sundays, praying in the mornings maybe, but leaving God out of the rest of our daily routines. This episode explores how this approach can lead to a shallow spirituality and disconnect from God throughout the day. We’ll discuss practical steps to integrate God into every aspect of our lives!

(WATCH ON YOUTUBE) You might have heard someone say, “God told me _____” or “I heard/felt God say ______,” but what does “hearing” from God actually mean? How do we know if it is God is speaking and what he is even speaking to us? In this episode, we explore the different ways God speaks to us—through Jesus and by scripture, circumstances, desires, prophecy/dreams/visions, and in the quiet moments of prayer. If you want to deepen your relationship with God and learn how to discern his voice, this episode will provide practical insights on how to hear and respond to His voice in your everyday life.
