We often don't realize we're hitting burnout until... well, we're burnt out. That in and of itself can take a toll on our walk with God, our families, calling, relationships, health, ministries, mental, physical, emotional and spiritual well-being to name a few. In this episode we break down the traps of burnout, how to gain godly perspective when we're in the midst of it and how to learn how to take breaks. I h...

When we start making decisions based off of fear it is never good. And yet if we’re honest, we’ve all found ourselves there at some point. Whether its making a decision because of the fear of man, the fear of failure, the fear of uncertainty or even in the fear of missing out… we can make horrible decisions. Decisions that can truly shift what God has for us and even derail His plans for us.

In this episode I break down why we ...

There are some seasons we go through that truly feel like we're being stretched beyond what we can handle. Whether its exciting moves of God where doors are opening all at once -doors you once prayed to open but now it feels like time is fleeting. Or it's constant transitions where you can't seem to catch a moment to breath and you're wondering when it'll slow down. Or a workload and family life that can fe...

When we're in the thick of it and have been there for what feels like far too long, it can be easy to begin to believe the lie that God won't use it and this is a waste or that things will never get better. Or, maybe it's the dark hard things we've been through in the past that we've overcome with God but we just aren't willing to tell anyone yet because we still carry shame not realizing that there is...

Out of all of creation we are the ones made in Gods image & likeness. Not golden statues, not massive buildings, not animals, not anything in the sky or under the earth. And one of the very many things that makes us in God's likeness, is our ability to speak. Remember God spoke and it was so & he's given us words and the prophetic gifting to speak out in power in the not yet. 

No this is not the law of attraction o...

Baptisms is such a special gift that we as believers get to take part in and also get to do for others. In fact, Jesus himself got baptized and commissioned us to not only get baptized but to baptize others. But the reality is that many delay this or don't understand it. So today I want to break down a few of the misconceptions about baptisms, things that hold us back from getting baptized & share a few powerful testimonie...

The Holy Spirit is probably the most overlooked person of the trinity and yet as believers we get miraculous gift of being filled with the Holy Spirit. But the question is, do you understand it? Are you moving in the spirit? Are you being led by the spirit? Or are you moving based on fears or feelings? Or are you unsure about it all? Today we unpack who the Holy Spirit is, what He does and how we can live a life led by the Holy Spi...

If you have watched or listened to any sort of media in the last few weeks then you know, there is a tidal wave of people repenting & turning to God to the likes of which no one has seen in our lifetime. From people dusting off old bibles and opening them up to truly read them, to people going to the church for the very first time, to those who have been lukewarm in the faith to now on fire and for others who were already bold ...

I believe we are seeing an immense outpour of the Holy Spirit in might and power for a divine reason. I believe that God is fortifying his Church to be like a fire that is set ablaze and the timing of it all is not by accident nor a coincidence.

But the question I have for you today is, will your fire fizzle out? Or will you run hard with God and His Church to go further and farther to where He is calling you to in order to expand h...

We often forget that there is a spiritual battle raging all around us daily. And if we aren't careful, we can passively walk through life getting hit by the fiery darts from the enemy & not even realizing what is taking place. Those darts are thrown to derail us, to thwart us from moving forward with God, walking in His freedom and the plans God has for us. In this episode I remind you to take up the weapons that work, to ...

The wild thing about our faith walk is that it's a journey, and one that isn't always as scenic as we'd like it to be. It's filled with ups, downs, left turns, pot holes and even rolling down hills and treading water at times. Or at least that's how it feels when our faith is being tested. And the reality is, God is faithful to guide us and grow us in these seasons. It's here in the valley's when ...

It's really easy to get caught up in comparing or grumbling and begin to miss all that God has done in our lives. And friend that's a trap. Because when we shift our eyes off God and look at our lack or others we can begin to miss what God has for us entirely. Just look at the Israelites -many never made it to the promise land. 

In this episode I encourage you to pause and reflect on just how far God has led you &...

Scripture gives us so many characteristics for God. God the almighty, the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords to name a few. But God as a husband, what does that even mean?

In this episode I share real life examples of how God can and will show up as a husband for you as he has done for me through biblical characteristics of a godly husband.  

Take heart friend, God is the...

Like they say, time is the one thing we can't back and how we use it matters. And the sobering reality, is that we often misuse our time when it comes to God, our family and the things He wants us to press into for the kingdom. 

In this episode we dive into what scripture says to do with our time, the traps in the day to day of how we misuse our time & how we can be more intentional about it.

We've all felt it at some point, being judged -ouch. It hurts and it's even more painful when it comes from believers. Bu the reality is that we all fall short of the glory of God. And sometimes, we forget that we have judged people too. In this episode I unpack how often times those judgments come from much larger hurts and the stings are often tied to things we've battled.

I pray this episode encourages us to m...

Is God merciful, yes. Abounding in grace, yes. But we shouldn't continue to cry out for blessings if we aren't willing to be obedient. Jesus cried out to God in the garden saying, "Not my will but yours" and chose obedience. We should too. Get ready to rethink blessings and obedience as we unpack blessings, myths and what God has for you on the other side of your own obedience.

How many times have you prayed and believed in big faith for others but when it has come to that one big thing for you or your family you've prayed in doubt... unsure if it is even possible? I get it because I've been there too. But friend, it's time to stir up your faith and set your eyes on how big our God is and what truly is possible with HIM! Start praying in faith that what you're believing for is possible...
