I'm glad you're here.
As we close this first season of Desert Streams, I'd love to leave you with one simple invitation.
When life invites you to run, remember that the One who has never left you is still there.
Together, we'll reflect on the promises of Psalm 23 and Isaiah 43 and discover that perhaps the invitation was never perfection—but simply to turn, again and again, toward the One who...

What happens inside you when you hear Jesus say:
"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love."
In this episode, I invite you to slow down and notice your own response to those words.
Do they bring warmth? Longing? Resistance? Hope?
Together, we'll gently explore what it might mean to move from striving for love to living from it—and how receiving God's love can beco...

As I've learned to stay with God, I've begun noticing small moments that feel unexpectedly personal.
A song. A memory. A recurring theme. A question or longing that seems to be touched in just the right way.
Not necessarily answers.
Not certainty.
Just the feeling that something important has been noticed.
In this episode, I reflect on the experience of resonance—those moments that seem to meet...

Sometimes when we finally slow down, something unexpected happens.
What we’ve been carrying beneath the surface begins to make itself known.
In this gentle reflection, we explore what can emerge when we stop running, striving, or distracting ourselves long enough to notice what is really there. Together we make space for grief, exhaustion, anger, longing, and the quiet realities that often s...

An episode for the moments when it’s still quiet — when nothing feels like it’s changing, and you’re not sure how to stay.
In this reflection, I share a little of my own experience alongside the tension of hoping for something different while also facing what is. Together we notice the urge to fix, to force, or to move past… and the gentle possibility of being held ...

An episode for when something has begun to surface — and you’re not sure what to do with it.
In this reflection, we gently explore what it’s like to stay with what’s here, without rushing to fix, understand, or move past it. Together, we make space to notice what may already be present — even if it’s subtle — and the quiet ways we might be held in the mid...

An episode for when something begins to surface — without needing to understand it or move past it too quickly.
In this reflection, we gently notice what comes closer in the presence of God — feelings, ache, or quiet shifts that don’t yet have words. Together, we practice staying with what’s here without rushing toward explanation or resolution, and making space for what h...

An episode for noticing what has been holding you — even here.
In this reflection, we gently name the quiet presence that has been with you all along. Without asking you to feel differently or understand more, we consider what it means that you may not be staying on your own — that even in the unresolved, something — someone — has been holding you.

An episode for the long middle — the stretches of time when nothing seems to change.
In this reflection, we gently explore what it’s like to remain present in the space between the first wave of pain and whatever may come next. Together we notice the quiet vulnerability of carrying something longer than we hoped, and the possibility of staying without demanding clarity, relief, or imm...

An episode for noticing what makes it possible to stay — even when part of you wants to leave.
In this reflection, we gently explore the instinct to move away from what feels uncomfortable, and the quiet supports that sometimes make it possible to remain for one more moment. Without pushing through or fixing anything, we notice what might already be holding us — physically, relational...

A companion for the moments when staying feels unsafe, exhausting, or impossible.
In this reflection, we gently name the instinct to move away from discomfort — the protective reflex that helped us survive when staying didn’t feel, or wasn’t safe.
Together, we notice what it’s like to remain without force, and to discover that God is not alarmed by our struggle or our desir...

An episode for noticing where you actually are — without rushing yourself toward where you think you should be.

The official podcast of comedian Joe Rogan.
Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
