Starting Points Matter

If you’ve ever felt behind, stuck, or overlooked — this one’s for you.
You may not have chosen your starting line, but you can choose how you run your race. In this episode, we talk about unseen battles, different beginnings, and the beauty of God’s redemptive grace. The finish line isn’t determined by where you began — it’s determined by who walks with you.
 

Bible Rx | 1 Corinthians 13 | What is Love?

I wanted to share a reading from '1 Corinthians 13.' (The Passion Translation)
I often refer to the Bible, Scripture as an "Rx." A daily prescription for the heart and soul. God's word has been just that for me and many others. A steady source of healing, strength, hope, joy and love.  Join me as we pause, reflect and receive a steadfast reminder of what love truly is.

The Word vs. The World: Where Do You Stand?

So many of us believe that if it doesn’t feel perfect, it isn’t meant for us. But what if God moves the most when it doesn’t feel easy?  In this episode, we unpack how society’s expectations have shaped our mindset—about relationships, timing, and even our faith. From cancel culture’ to unrealistic expectations, we’ll break down the lies we’ve believed and return to the truth of God’s Word. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about the decision to choose Jesus, daily.

It’s letting go of who you thought you were and becoming who you were always meant to be.

When I decided to give the pain a voice. Raw, unpolished, but real. This is a glimpse into what I’ll be sharing. It’s proof that even when life feels unbearable, God is already redeeming your story.
