    The Most Offensive Word Today: Sin

    Send a text Why does the word sin offend people so deeply? In this episode of Cries of Redemption, I talk about why sin must be addressed and why so many people react with anger the moment it’s mentioned. Scripture warns about the danger of a hardened heart, and in Ezekiel we see God’s promise to replace hearts of stone with hearts of flesh. If sin is meant to show us when we’re going in the wrong direction, why do we resist hearing about it? This episode builds on the question from the previous episode: Are you going in the right direction? Because sometimes the most loving warning we can receive is the one we least want to hear. 🎧 Want to reach out?

    From Hell To Redemption

    Send a text In this powerful episode, we sit down with Dylan Verdun Sullivan, author of Kiss by Death, for an honest conversation about survival, faith, and the life-changing power of God’s grace. Born with club feet that required multiple surgeries to realign and carrying deep wounds of abandonment, Dylan’s life was marked by pain from an early age. At 18, after contracting a deadly disease and falling into a coma, he had a life-altering encounter with Jesus that changed everything. Dylan shares his ongoing journey of healing—wrestling with self-worth, the father wound, addiction, and learning to rest in grace rather than striving. This is not a polished testimony, but a real story of redemption, hope, and discovering that God’s grace is sufficient, even at our lowest. If you’ve ever felt broken, unseen, or “not enough,” this episode is for you. There is so much more that did not make it onto this episode! If you would like to read more about Dylan's amazing story, you can purchase Kissed by Death on Amazon! Here’s the book link: https://amzn.asia/d/2s3gvyW 🎧 Want to reach out?

    Silence Ends With Me...

    Send a text In this episode, I remind you that this season is about breaking the silence—but not for the world. It starts with you. You don’t have to share your story publicly or say a word to anyone else. The first and most important step is being honest with yourself. I talk about the healing that comes from confronting parts of your past you may not want to remember, and why facing those truths—no matter how uncomfortable—is where freedom begins. I choose to do the hard part by exposing my own ugly truths, not for shock, but to let you know you are not alone. My hope is to encourage and uplift you, but I’m honest about this: nothing I say can bring healing unless you take that first step within yourself. If one day you feel called to share your story—amen. And if you never do, but you faced yourself with courage—amen. Silence ends with me… and it can end with you too. 🎧 Want to reach out?

    Thanksgiving/Giving Thanks

    Send a text In this heartfelt Thanksgiving episode, I reflect on the Jewish Passover tradition of Dayeinu—a powerful practice of gratitude that declares, “It would have been enough.” Inspired by this tradition, I created my own personal Dayeinu, remembering all the moments God has brought me through and the countless ways He’s carried me. I invite you to join me in this reflection. As you listen, I hope you’ll begin to see—and maybe even discover for the first time—the many ways God has been present in your own story. May this episode inspire a deeper sense of gratitude, faith, and awareness of His faithfulness in your life. Happy Thanksgiving. 🧡 🎧 Want to reach out?

I also talk about the importance of teaching our children how to stay safe, make wise choices, and know who they can trust in different situations.

    Send a text In this follow-up episode, I open up about losing an amazing friend and the financial hardships that once left me feeling broken and uncertain.

Sometimes, our “mistakes” aren’t mistakes at all—they’re blessings in disguise, shaping us into who we’re meant to become.
