What’s good family? Welcome to the Abide & Seek podcast where we share authentic and unfiltered Christian perspectives to build in faith, purpose and spiritual maturity.
Practicing the importance of stillness and meeting God in healing in the healing process when things get hard.

Addressing the insecurities, being honest with our disappointments, and enduring through moments of hopelessness is all that God is asking for during difficult circumstances.
Verses Mentioned:
Are we abusing God’s grace in seasons of provision? Is our faith the same on the mountain top as it is in the valley? In this episode, we discuss remembering God’s faithfulness to us but also the reality of our faithfulness to Him! Let’s dive into taking inventory and being mindful of our heart posture when we’re in the wilderness and in the midst of His provision.
Verses Mentioned:
“Don’t end in the flesh what began in the Spirit”. Is your relationship with God the same on the mountaintop as it is in the valley? Are there times when it feels like our zeal for God is dwindling because of the trials we’re facing? Are there times when it feels like we need a Word from God but we get silence in return? These circumstances can be tests that God uses to expose what’s in our hearts and what we really think about God...

What does it mean to watch and pray? Exploring what it means to be called as a watchman, to intercede, and to act in obedience as we partner with God. When was the last time you prayed for someone else? Has God placed a time on your spirit to be consistent in private intercession with Him? What are you willing to sacrifice for deeper intimacy with God by consecration?
Verses Mentioned:
Apathy: indifference (a lack of emotion/enthusiasm); a subtle feeling of a lack of interest towards issues that matter to God
Have you grown apathetic towards your relationship with God and the spiritual disciplines? Are you caught between the two extremes–Entitlement (burdening yourself and lacking genuine love for God by having a transactional heart posture) or Apathy (feeling indifferent by having a spiritual callous heart postu...
Do you feel the need to always be in control or things are done better when we do it ourselves? This is from the root of self-sufficiency due to taking God’s grace for granted. In this episode, we’ll explore how the enemy attempts to blind us in order to bind us and how to produce genuine faith.
Verses Mentioned:
Let’s be honest. How often do we feel resentment toward work, ministry, or other relationships because things haven't gone our way?

In this episode,we explore the disappointment between our human limitations and God’s sovereignty.
Verses Mentioned:

How do you grieve when it comes to intangible loss—a job, dream, relationship, etc.? How can we know the secret of being content? In this episode, we’ll explore what it means to be patient, find joy in all circumstances, and trust God for real.
Verses Mentioned
Sometimes we may find ourselves with scars God never intended for us to have. When we choose to self-medicate the wounds God wants us to surrender to Him to repair, we delay the healing process. When God steps in, He removes the bandages from injuries that require surgery. Access to the pain requires addressing the trauma, the triggers, and the past we tried to leave behind. Thankfully, the purpose behind the healing process is to ...

Self Sabotage runs deeper than you think. It’s more than self-destructive behaviors - it may include negative self-criticism, lack of boundaries, and fear of failure (just to name a few). In this episode, we’re unpacking what it means to come out of agreement with the toxic thinking patterns, uproot habits that kept us in bondage, and seek healing from God from these strongholds.
Do you want to be healed?

Verses Mentioned
What does it mean to move on from the life you had? What does it look like to embrace the identity God intended for you? What does it mean to follow Christ, forreal? In this episode we discuss the cost of discipleship, growing in spiritual maturity and finding encouragement on this narrow road.
Verses Mentioned
We tend to pray “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven (Matt. 6:10)”, But do we truly mean it? What does it mean to have prayers that influence the spiritual realm and build God’s Kingdom. This episode brings you to a place of vulnerability to analyze our motives behind our goals and what we find security in.
Verses Mentioned
Wake up the warrior inside you and break your strongholds! God is looking for soldiers to carry out His will.

In this episode we dive into spiritual battles, facing generational sin and how to overcome them.
Verses Mentioned
What do you do when you feel like you’re in a mental fog and life isn’t making sense? Sometimes it’s hard to hear God speaking to us when we overconsume what’s of this world. In this episode, we explore taking spiritual inventory and reflective questions when we need to take a reset.
Verses Mentioned:
“Comparison is the thief of joy” - In this episode we explore escapism, seeking fulfillment outside of Christ and battling the lie of “not being good enough”. Don’t grow discouraged in your current season. Stay hopeful, Be encouraged, and Remember that God is on your side.
