TW: Infant Loss, Death, Grief Navigating grief has been the hardest thing I've ever done. Every minute is different from the last. Sometimes I feel like I'm pinned under a hundred weighted blankets and other times it feels a little easier to breath. Either, I'm grateful to have a circle of people that help breathing easy, come easy. On this episode, I get to chat with my big bro Solomon Chapman about navigating the woe that is g...

Everyone’s story has already been written. God knows every twist, turn & tumble that we’re going to take, way before it happens. Even though He knows, we’re still finding out every single day. God gives us the opportunity to make better decisions and to be better people. He gives a chance to rewrite our stories so that they look more like His. In this episode, I talk with Christine Saint-Vil from Rain to Reign about what the jo...

2020 has been a year full of questions. Why is this happening? When will it end? What's the point? This year many of us have been forced to face ourselves and genuinely figure out why we're here. Purpose is such a heavy word that everyone is expected to carry, but how can you know what it is? In this episode, I talk with Elder Jeffrey Brooks, aka my dad, about understanding what your purpose is and how to walk in it, just...

Have you ever sat and reflected about the decisions that you have made in the past and thought, "If only I knew then, what I know now...?" Have you ever thought, "If I would have just (insert regret here), then I would be so much further now...?" Same.

In this episode I talk with creator and host of JustRez, Eirz Scott, about regrets in life and this we all wish we could have done differently. We focus ...

There are so many questions that we ask eachother when getting to know who someone is. What is your family like? What's your favorite color? What do you do for a living? So many surface level questions that don't require deeper level answers. In this episode my favorite person and I play a game called "We're Not Really Strangers". This game offers some simple questions that can provoke some profound thought...

Sometimes we get so caught up in what starting something looks like, that we forget to finish. Sometimes we start something so strongly, but we hinder our own progress. Sometimes the voices we hear telling us to "keep going" and that "you got this" are just as loud as the ones doubting our own abilities. But what if you did finish? What if you did just push through the uncomfortability of it all? What if it work...

No one is used to this. This is a time where everyone is basically forced to sit still, but expected to keep it moving. Being still doesn't necessarily mean doing nothing. Being still can mean being quiet or being at peace. During this time there is still so much pressure to perform, but people forget that having no choice but to be alone with yourself is a task in itself. You don't have to come up with a new hobby or a n...

Number 14:18  says ‘The LORD is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.’ Oftentimes we deal with emotions, issues and habits that we don't fully understand and that we know aren't healthy. We get so stuck on the notion that, "That's just how I am..." ...

Pain tolerance is the maximum level of pain that person is able to tolerate. Every person has some sort of pain threshold, in every sense of the word, and ways that they deal with pain. In this episode, we have an open conversation about what pain looks like, how we deal with pain and what God says about it. First of all, what can you handle?
