    #Gaga4Jesus: A Val's Day Special (Part B)

    Loverzzzz and wannabe loverzzz… we’re not done yet. Valentine’s Day can amplify emotions: loneliness, excitement, comparison, pressure. But as Christian women (and men), we’re called to something deeper than fleeting feelings. We’re called to alignment with God’s heart. In PART B of our conversation, Dzifianu and I dissect the reality of navigating Singlehood, Waiting, Christian dating, healing from heartbreak, while learning to put God first each of these seasons. Because when Christ is your foundation, love stops being confusing and starts being transformative. Happy Valentine's Day ❤️Enjoy x!

    #Gaga4Jesus: A VAL's Day Special (Part A)

    Loverzzzz and wannabe loverzzz… let’s talk 🤍 We say “Jesus is love” so easily.But is He really our first love? In Part A of our Valentine’s Special, Dzifianu and I unpack what devotion to Jesus Christ truly looks like beyond clichés and cute captions. We talk about loving Jesus deeply and intentionally, what it means to desire Him above all else, and how to keep Christ at the center before romance, during romance, and in every season of your life. This episode is soft, honest, and a little challenging. It’s for the single girl waiting, the girl in love, and the girl learning to reorder her heart. If Jesus is love, then everything else must flow from Him. Tap in 🤍🌹

    Original Design: Becoming Who He Called Us to Be

    For the final episode of Season 1, I’m going solo. This one is close to my heart because it’s the story behind I’m Just a Girl: how God birthed this podcast, what He wants to do with it, and why it matters now. I share what the Holy Spirit has taught me about the original design of woman, what God says about us in Scripture, and how this podcast is part of His call to revive women’s hearts for Christ and the Kingdom. If you’ve ever wondered why IJG? … this is the episode.

    More in Common Than You Think: Different Faiths, One Friendship

    What happens when deep friendship meets different faiths? In this episode of I’m Just a Girl, I sit down with my dear friends Salwa and Ghadi to talk about navigating life, love, and laughter together as Christians, Muslims and the Confused. We unpack the myths, the tensions, and the beautiful lessons we’ve learned from honoring each other’s beliefs while never letting go of love. Because real friendship isn’t about sameness — it’s about seeing each other fully. If you’ve ever wondered how to hold your faith while holding onto your friends, this conversation is for you.
