Episodes
Are we following Jesus or following Christian trends?
This episode dives into the rise of aesthetic Christianity, TikTok theology, prosperity thinking, emotional-high spirituality, Christian nationalism, celebrity leaders, and the subtle ways culture shapes our faith without us noticing.
Through Scripture and honest reflection, we explore how to build a faith that’s rooted, discerning, and centered on Jesus not whatever is trendi...
In this episode, we talk about the beauty of being on fire for Jesus and the wisdom required to carry that fire well.
Scripture shows us that zeal without understanding can become impulsive, confusing, or even harmful. But zeal with wisdom? That becomes a steady flame God can actually build with.
We explore how to discern the motivation behind your zeal, how to grow in wisdom, and how to stay teachable while following the Holy Spiri...
I used to measure my worth by what I could do, how much I could influence, and the fruit I was bearing. But God called me to take a hard look at the roots of my motivation—and where I was placing my value.
In this episode, I share the process of losing what I thought defined me, inspecting the fruit of my labor (Matthew 7:15-20), and how Jesus redeemed my understanding of worth.
If you’ve ever asked, “Who am I beyond my accomplishme...
This week on Seek JOY, we talk about hunger — the cravings that control hearts, shape faith, and steal joy. Every day, we feast, but are we feeding the flesh or nourishing the spirit?
Jesus offers a table for our soul. Will we feast on Him or continue giving our attention to fleeting pleasures? This episode unpacks how daily choices, habits, and desires reveal what truly rules our hearts.
📖 Scripture: John 6:51-58 | Luke 14:15-24

Grace isn’t passive; io]t’s something we’re called to steward. In this episode, we dig into what grace truly means, how it differs from mercy, and why there’s no such thing as “too much grace.”
We’ll talk about:
- Receiving and giving grace well
- Avoiding the abuse of God’s grace
- Holding both grace and accountability

This episode is a call to love the Church the way Jesus does — not from a place of judgment or offense, but from grace, truth, and unity.
We talk about what it means to love the people that make up the body of Christ, even when it’s messy. Because the Church isn’t perfect but our Savior is.
Listen in and ask: “Do I love the Church more than my idea of her?”
Have you ever tried to date with God truly at the center?
In this episode, I’m sharing my story of how God told me to stop dating — not as punishment, but as protection. It was in that season that I learned what holy dating really means. From boundaries and purity to kindness and obedience, this journey taught me how to love in a way that reflects Him.
If you’re in a season of waiting, wondering, or trying to navigate dating as a Chr...
Last time, I talked about being sick of me; frustrated with my own mess and amazed by how kind God was in response. But this time, He took it deeper.
God showed me that enjoyment is a spiritual discipline. One I’ve honestly never practiced… or even thought about that way.
In this episode, we unpack what spiritual disciplines actually are. Not just prayer, fasting, or Bible study, but the overlooked ones.
We’ll talk about how to shift...
I’ve been having some heavy conversations with the Lord lately… and what it really came down to is this — I’m sick of me. Sick of my thoughts, my attitude, my bitterness. Sick of feeling like I should be further along by now.
In this episode, we talk about what it means to wrestle with yourself and still be deeply delighted in by a Mighty God. About realizing that frustration isn’t failure, and that God’s kindness meets us right in ...
Forgiveness doesn’t mean excusing sin—it means freeing yourself.
How do you forgive when they don’t apologize, don’t care, or hurt you over and over? This episode dives into biblical forgiveness, showing how to bless, release, and reclaim your peace in Christ.
Let's talk about how to bless those who hurt you, release the debt, and reclaim your freedom in Christ.

In Revelation 4:10, the twenty-four elders fall before God’s throne and cast their crowns down — a powerful picture.
These aren’t crowns of royalty but Stephanos crowns — symbols of victory.
In this episode, we’ll talk about what casting crowns really means, why we’re not called to envy someone else’s crown, and how laying ours down is an act of worship that echoes for eternity.

I’m rereading the Bible right now — but this time, not to study, just to delight in God. And honestly? Even just in the first 7 chapters of Genesis, the Lord has been blowing me away with the little details that point to Jesus.
From the light being separated from the darkness, to Abel’s offering, to Noah’s obedience — I want to walk you through some of the things that have been standing out to me and remind you that the Word really ...
Have you ever sat down with your Bible and thought, “I don’t get it”? You’re not alone. The Bible is a spiritual book, which means we can’t just read it in our own strength—we need the Holy Spirit.
In this episode, I walk you through how I personally approach Scripture: starting with prayer (2 Timothy 2:7), depending on the Spirit for understanding, and keeping Jesus at the center of it all (Colossians 1:16–17).
We’ll also talk abou...
Did “intimacy with God” come from Scripture—or is it just Christian lingo we cling to?
In this episode, we unpack the phrase “intimacy with God”—where it really comes from, why we’ve embraced it, and what the Bible actually says.
Hint: it’s about knowing, obedience, and relational depth—not feelings or mysticism.
Join us as we trace the origins of the term in worship culture, examine its Biblical roots with Hebrew words like yada (“to...
There are so many things I wish I knew before I started walking with Jesus. In this episode of Seek JOY, I share the lessons, mistakes, and truths that changed my faith and my life.
Some of the questions I unpack:
What does it really mean to follow Jesus daily?
Why is community and fellowship so important?
How do we deal with doubts and hard seasons of faith?
What does surrender to God actually look like?
If you wanna have a...
We throw the word “personality” around a lot, but have you ever stopped to ask—how much of what I call my personality is actually how God created me, and how much of it is stuff I picked up along the way… defense mechanisms, habits, or even sin that needs refining?
In this episode, I break it down into three parts:
The part of me that really is how God designed me.
The part that isn’t truly me, but I’ve leaned into for survival or...
Spiritual maturity isn’t built on highs—it’s built on trust in the wilderness
What does it really mean to grow in spiritual maturity when you’re in a wilderness season—when God feels quiet and the emotions have faded? In this episode, we unpack how true growth is marked by obedience, not just feelings, and how God uses pruning, sacrifice, and gratitude to refine us.
We’ll talk about:
The “obedience of faith” from Romans 1:5

In this episode, we dive deep into the Fruit of the Spirit — what it really means to live with love, joy, peace, and everything God wants to grow in us. It’s not just about checking a list but about how the Holy Spirit works in our everyday lives, especially when things get tough. If you’re ready to grow in your faith and live more fully in Christ, this one’s for you.

Elise Tegegne joins Cheyenne to share her powerful journey of trusting God — from coming to faith as a child, to serving as a missionary in Ethiopia.
Together, they unpack what it looks like to truly depend on God, how He meets us in pain, and how small daily steps of obedience can lead to lifelong transformation. Elise also gives a behind-the-scenes look at her new book In Praise of Houseflies.

Are you in a quiet season with God?
In this episode of Seek J.O.Y, I process what it means to truly listen to the Lord—even when He’s not speaking like He used to.
From wrestling with silence to finding peace in the valley, this is a raw conversation about trust, humility, and surrender.
Scripture: 2 Chronicles 11:4
Theme: Listening, waiting, and the quiet work of God
Let’s sit down with our coffee and process together.
