What if your summer wasn’t just a break... but a divine invitation?

In today’s episode, we’re leaning into the idea that summer doesn’t have to feel like a blur or a burnout. Instead, it can be a season where we slow down with intention, align with God’s will, and live from a place of purpose, even in the rest.

I’ll share how I’ve personally struggled with drifting through past summers, and how the shift toward intentionality has cha...

Did you know that only you hold the keys to your own life?

A few weeks ago, I shared a little bit about my journey of driving on a solo day date when I had a powerful thought that has stuck with me ever since. If you’re more visual like me, I actually wrote about this whole idea on my Substack a few weeks ago. I’d love for you to check it out, read it, and leave a comment letting me know how this applies to your life. Thanks for tun...

Today’s episode is all about choosing a word for the year—a theme that sets the tone for the months ahead and helps us see God’s hand in our lives. I’ll share the meaning behind this practice, my personal experiences, and how you can prayerfully uncover your own word of the year.

This is not going to be an episode where we give the enemy any glory or attention. Today, I’m doing the opposite—exposing his schemes and reminding him that he is powerless.

We’re talking about how to stand firm in the midst of trials, how to combat the lies of the enemy, and why we must keep saying “yes” to God even when we feel weak or unworthy.

Key Scriptures: Genesis 50:20, Romans 8:28, Matthew 11:28-30, Psalm 51:17, Ephesian...
