    The 5 Questions To Ask When You Feel Unworthy

    Ever felt like you’re totally unworthy of what God is calling you to do? You’re not alone in that boat. Today, I want to talk with you about the real and raw struggle of imposter syndrome and how it can quietly mess with your mind—especially when it comes to your faith. Think about Moses and his deep feelings of inadequacy, yet notice how God’s response was never about perfection, but about His presence. As you walk through your own moments of doubt, hold on to “The 5 Questions To Ask When You Feel Unworthy”—questions that will ground you, challenge the lies, and guide you back to truth. So grab your favorite snack, settle in, and let’s unravel this together, because if you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough, this conversation is exactly where you need to be. Read today's blog article Check out the full podcast episode here Ever wake up and scroll through the highlight reel on your phone—perfect couple photos, business wins, happy families in matching outfits? I know that moment. Then a quiet voice whispers, “If they really knew you, they wouldn’t be impressed at all.” You want to serve, you want to be faithful, yet sometimes the calling feels so big and you feel so small. I want to ask you honestly: have you ever felt unworthy of what God is asking you to do? It is a heavy question, and you are not alone. Today, I want to have a genuine conversation with you about that feeling of unworthiness and how it often shows up right when you are on the edge of doing something meaningful. Think of this as a heart-to-heart, not a lecture. Many people quietly believe the lie that if you were truly called, you would never feel insecure. The truth tells a different story. God’s message has always centered on His presence being the true difference-maker in your life. Consider Moses at the burning bush. He was not confident, polished, or qualified in his own eyes. He was a fugitive, uncertain, and overwhelmed by the weight of the mission before him. God did not respond with praise for Moses’ abilities. God gave him something far greater: “I will be with you.” Imagine the power of that promise—the Creator of the universe walking with you. Your calling is not sustained by your strength, your résumé, or your confidence. It is sustained by God’s presence. When doubt begins to creep in, remember this truth. Feeling unworthy does not disqualify you; it often prepares you. In this conversation, I want to help you see how unworthiness can lead to breakthrough rather than breakdown. We will face the reality of imposter syndrome, the pressure to perform, and the trap of comparison that steals joy and confidence. I understand those moments of questioning—wondering if you are enough, if you belong, if you truly measure up. God has never required perfection. God asks for willingness. Your simple yes, even when it feels small, can open the door to meaningful and lasting change. Today, I invite you to release the weight of unworthiness and step into this truth: with God, you are never alone, and you are always enough. Takeaways: We often feel unworthy or insecure in our lives, but that's completely okay, my friend.God's answer to our feelings of inadequacy is simple: "I will be with you," and that's huge.Imposter syndrome is real and affects a lot of folks, even those who seem confident.Society tells us to prove ourselves, but God invites us to just receive His...

  2. The 5 Cultural Lies That Are Destroying Your Faith

    The 5 Cultural Lies That Are Destroying Your Faith

    Let’s dive right into it. Today, we’re tackling the idea that your heart is loud, yet sometimes that loudness can lead us astray. You may find yourself scrolling late at night, seeing quotes like “You are enough” or “Follow your heart.” They sound comforting, don’t they? I want to talk with you about The 5 Cultural Lies That Are Destroying Your Faith, because what feels encouraging on the surface can quietly pull us away from truth. Together, we will shine a light on those subtle lies that slip into our thinking and replace them with solid, unshakable truth. If you’ve been sensing your faith fading even a little, I want you to know you are not alone. Stay with me as we honestly learn how to recognize these lies and hold firmly to the truth that keeps us grounded and anchored. Read today's blog article Check out the full podcast episode here Picture this with me. It’s late at night, the house is quiet, and you are scrolling through your phone, fully awake, with your mind racing through thoughts, emotions, and maybe even a touch of anxiety. As you scroll, you come across familiar phrases like “You are enough” and “Follow your heart.” They sound comforting, reassuring, even uplifting. I want you to pause with me for a moment and consider something deeper. What if those feel-good messages are slowly pulling you away from your faith without you even realizing it? I want to walk with you through this, because many of us live busy lives where faith can quietly fade into the background. You may not notice it at first. You might still believe, still care, yet something feels distant. The real question we must ask ourselves is this: Are you truly leaning on Jesus, or are you drifting toward whatever feels easiest in the moment? Together, we will uncover how culture-driven ideas, though comforting on the surface, can become subtle traps that weaken your closeness with Him. I see how today’s culture constantly promotes self-focus. Messages like “Trust yourself” are everywhere, shaping how we think and live. I want to challenge you to look deeper. Culture teaches that you are the center, yet the Gospel calls you to deny yourself and rely fully on Jesus. Scripture reminds us that the heart can be deceptive, which means truth is not found by looking inward alone, but by looking upward—toward God’s wisdom, His direction, and His truth. I speak to you today as someone who understands how faith can grow tired. You may feel like you are drifting—close to Jesus one moment, distant the next. This drift rarely happens suddenly. It often comes through small, quiet choices that slowly pull you away, replacing prayer with distraction and devotion with routine. You are not alone in this experience, and there is hope. I want to help you recognize the cultural lies such as “You’re enough” and “Just follow your heart,” and replace them with truth that anchors your soul. This is not only about identifying the problem. I want to guide you toward renewal—toward practical, meaningful steps that help you reclaim a strong, vibrant faith. Together, we will move back to solid ground, placing Jesus firmly at the center where He belongs, rediscovering the truth that brings freedom, strength, and lasting hope. Takeaways: In this episode, we dive deep into how cultural lies can slowly drain your faith without you even realizing it, and how to combat that.We discuss the importance of recognizing that just because you feel something doesn't mean it's true; our hearts can be deceitful.span class="ql-ui"...

    5 Daily Habits to Strengthen Your Faith This Year

    Have you ever felt like a ghost in a crowded room—present, busy, but somehow disconnected from the life you’re living? I know that feeling well, and in this episode, I speak directly to that quiet emptiness that can creep in when our schedules are full but our souls feel sidelined. This isn’t about numbing the gap with more Netflix or endless scrolling—it’s about rediscovering real connection and lasting meaning. I share how 5 Daily Habits to Strengthen Your Faith This Year helped me move from spiritual drift to genuine renewal, reigniting my relationship with God and restoring warmth where there was once distance. If you’re ready to stop coasting and step back into a vibrant, intentional faith, I invite you to walk this journey with me. Read today's blog article Check out the full podcast episode here There is a profound irony in our modern experience: we are more "connected" than any generation in history, yet many of you likely know the feeling of being a ghost in your own life. You stand in crowded rooms or navigate busy offices, appearing successful on the outside, while grappling with a quiet, persistent hollowness within. When you spend your days observing the curated highlight reels of others—the career milestones and picturesque travels—it is easy to feel like a mere spectator. This sense of drifting is not a personal failure; it is a symptom of a soul that has become disconnected from its Source. When the daily grind consumes your energy but starves your spiritual well-being, you lose your sense of direction. To break free, you must move beyond the surface and intentionally find your way back to the Creator. Takeaways: Feeling disconnected in a crowded room is more common than we think, and it's okay to acknowledge that.Scrolling through social media can amplify feelings of loneliness, making us feel like we're on the sidelines of life.Real connection and meaning in life come from intentional habits, not just entertainment or distraction.Building a relationship with God requires daily efforts and intentional habits to keep the faith alive.Community and connection are vital for spiritual growth; isolation can lead to stagnation in faith.Gratitude and forgiveness are essential daily practices that help maintain a healthy spirit and keep us connected.

  4. What Lies Are You Believing—and How Do You Break Free?

    FEB 1

    What Lies Are You Believing—and How Do You Break Free?

    Today, we’re diving deep into the kitchen, bedroom, and car vibes—those everyday spaces where we often find ourselves lost in thoughts that just won’t quit. You know the ones: the quiet lies that whisper you’re behind, not enough, or stuck where you are. Together, we’re asking a big question—“What Lies Are You Believing—and How Do You Break Free?”—because these thoughts aren’t just annoying background noise; they’re lies that can slowly shape how you see yourself. The truth I want you to hear loud and clear is this: Jesus didn’t die so we could barely survive—He died so we could walk in real freedom. So grab your favorite drink, get comfortable, and let’s talk about how to call out those lies, kick them to the curb, and embrace the truth that actually sets us free. Read today's blog article Check out the full podcast episode here Have you ever felt like life keeps throwing curveballs your way? I know those moments well—when you’re at home, scrolling through social media, and out of nowhere that familiar feeling of inadequacy hits. If that’s you, I want you to know you’re not alone. In this episode, I dive into those late-night thoughts that surface when everything is quiet but your mind is loud. I talk about how we’ve been conditioned to compare ourselves to others and how that comparison can slowly convince us we’re “not enough.” Then we flip the script. I remind you that Jesus didn’t come so we could merely survive this life—He came so we could experience true freedom. This conversation is about recognizing the lies we’ve believed and choosing to anchor our identity not in what the world says about us, but in what God has already declared to be true. Takeaways: We often accept the lies we tell ourselves as truth, and that can be a real bummer.The culture screams for us to define ourselves, but true identity is given, not made.Feeling like a fraud is super common, so don't sweat it—you ain't alone in this!Jesus invites us closer rather than pushing us away with shame and guilt, which is a game-changer.Strongholds are lies we've believed for so long they feel like home, but they can be demolished.Your journey to freedom isn't a race; it's a process of taking tiny steps toward truth every day.

    What Does the Bible Say About Societal Chaos—and How Do You Stay Steady?

    Today, I want to speak directly to the chaos so many of us are feeling. There’s a loudness in the world right now—and if we’re honest, that noise often finds its way into our souls. Life feels unstable, heavy, and unpredictable, leaving many of us asking, “What is really going on with this world?” More importantly, we’re left wrestling with a deeper question: What does the Bible say about societal chaos—and how do you stay steady when everything feels like it’s shaking?

Together, we’ll look at how Scripture speaks into moments like these and offers us something the world cannot—steadiness. When everything around us feels like it’s spinning out of control, God’s Word becomes an anchor that holds us firm.

You know how it goes: you wake up, check the news or your phone, and suddenly your peace is gone before the day even begins. It’s exhausting.

My goal is to get to the heart of what it truly means to remain calm, grounded, and hopeful when the world feels anything but.

  6. The Gospel of Control: Why Your Plans Still Feel Fragile

    JAN 18

    The Gospel of Control: Why Your Plans Still Feel Fragile

    Today, I want to dive into the nitty-gritty of something I call The Gospel of Control: Why Your Plans Still Feel Fragile. It’s that subtle, sneaky belief that convinces us we can plan our way to peace—but instead, it leaves us feeling tight in the chest, anxious, and perpetually on edge. I’ve been there, thinking that if I just had the perfect plan, everything would fall into place. Here’s the truth: planning itself isn’t wrong, yet when it becomes our crutch, it actually steals our peace. We end up juggling expectations, outcomes, and responsibilities like flaming swords on a unicycle. What I’ve learned—and what I want to share with you—is that real calm comes not from control, but from letting go. By loosening our grip, opening our hands, and trusting beyond our plans, we can reclaim a steady heart and lasting peace. Read today's blog article Check out the full podcast episode here In today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic that hits close to home for many of us: the tension between planning and control. You know that feeling—everything seems lined up, your plans are in place, and yet there’s still this tightness in your chest? That’s what I call the gospel of control creeping in. Planning itself isn’t the problem—it’s essential—but when it becomes your lifeline, that’s when peace starts to slip away. We’re exploring how the pressure to manage every outcome, every person, every detail can quietly erode your calm. By the end, my goal is to help you find that balance: to be responsible and intentional, but without sacrificing your mental and emotional well-being. It’s about opening your hands, steadying your heart, and rediscovering true peace. Takeaways: Planning isn't bad, but when it becomes your savior, your peace gets fragile.If you find yourself constantly anxious, it might be from trying to control everything around you.Real peace comes not from certainty but from surrendering and trusting in God.You can't control everything, so let go of your grip and have open hands with a steady heart.Remember, you're not weak for wanting to control things; it often comes from a place of past pain.Control can lead to exhaustion; instead, focus on doing your best and leaving the rest to God.

  7. The New Year Idol: Better Me vs Abide in Me

    JAN 11

    The New Year Idol: Better Me vs Abide in Me

    January rolls around, and suddenly everyone’s acting like a life coach, right? We’re all caught up in the “new year, new me” vibe—but let me pause us for a second. What if that mindset is actually a sneaky way of worshipping our own control? In The New Year Idol: Better Me vs Abide in Me, I want to challenge the idea that if we just fix ourselves enough, hustle harder, or optimize one more habit, we’ll finally find peace. Here’s the truth I keep coming back to: it’s not about becoming a better version of yourself—it’s about receiving a brand-new heart from Jesus. I see how easily self-improvement can turn into an idol, putting pressure on us to perform instead of inviting us to rest. So let’s get real together. Let’s talk about laying down the striving, releasing the need to have it all together, and discovering how real transformation doesn’t come from effort, but from surrender. If you’re tired of chasing “better,” come sit with me and let’s find that solid ground in abiding instead. Read today's blog article Check out the full podcast episode here January rolls around, and suddenly the world’s all about preaching self-improvement like it’s gospel truth. Everyone’s out there pushing their “new year, new me” mantra, drumming up motivation like it’s a life-or-death situation. Let me be real with you—beneath all that shiny hype is a ton of pressure. We’re told that if we just crush our resolutions, we’ll finally feel good enough. Here’s the kicker: that’s not just a plan to get fit or organized—it’s practically building an altar to our own self-control. We start thinking we can fix ourselves, climb the ladder of success, and somehow earn our peace. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t work like that. Instead of hustling harder to prove our worth, I’ve realized we need to flip the script. The real change doesn’t come from trying to be “better”—it comes from surrendering to something way bigger than our to-do lists. Jesus isn’t here to make us a better version of ourselves; He’s here to give us a whole new heart and a fresh perspective on life. So, grab a seat with me, and let’s unpack this together—because true transformation starts when we stop striving and start abiding. Takeaways: Every January, folks start preaching about self-improvement like it's a religion, right?We often confuse self-help with real spiritual growth, thinking we can fix ourselves.Goals can be cool, but when they take over our lives, they become idols.Jesus offers us something way better than self-help: a new heart and true peace.It's super easy to get caught up in hustle culture, forgetting to just be present.Real change comes from surrendering to Jesus, not from trying harder on our own.

  8. Shelfless Faith: Living Free in a World That Stores Everything

    JAN 4

    Shelfless Faith: Living Free in a World That Stores Everything

    I want to invite you to dive with me into the idea of living shelfless—and trust me, this isn’t just about decluttering your home. Shelfless Faith: Living Free in a World That Stores Everything is about creating space for what truly matters. Have you ever walked into a room that felt calm, open, like it could finally breathe? That’s the feeling I want for you. Together, we’ll unpack what it means to let go of the emotional baggage we’ve been carrying—the expectations, pressures, and burdens that were never ours to hold in the first place. This is about discovering freedom—not the loud, flashy kind, but the holy kind that quiets your heart, restores peace, and opens the door to real connection. So grab your favorite drink, get comfortable, and join me as we learn how to lighten our load—both physically and spiritually. Read today's blog article Check out the full podcast episode here Picture this with me. You walk into a living room and immediately feel it—this isn’t just a room, it’s an atmosphere. Soft lighting. Clean floors. No visual clutter. No shelves packed with knick-knacks. Just space. Can you feel how the room almost seems to breathe? Then you ask the homeowners about it, and they casually say, “We decided not to have shelves.” Suddenly it clicks. Shelves aren’t just furniture—they’re permission slips. Permission to store, to stack, to hold onto things we don’t actually need. In this episode, I invite you to explore what I call shelfless living. This goes far beyond your home. Have you ever felt that internal weight—the sense that something is quietly holding you back? More often than not, it’s the things we’re clinging to, whether they’re physical possessions or emotional baggage we were never meant to carry. We talk about freedom here—but not the loud, fireworks-and-confetti kind. I’m talking about the holy kind of freedom that comes from letting go. The kind that clears space for peace, trust, and obedience. Together, we’ll start unpacking our spiritual shelves and honestly examine what’s been weighing us down. Because when the clutter is gone, your heart is finally free to follow Jesus without fear, distraction, or excess baggage standing in the way. It’s time to get real about what truly matters—and what needs to be released. Takeaways: Shelves in our homes symbolize more than just storage; they represent our attachments and fears.Living shelfless means embracing freedom and not letting material things control our lives.Jesus teaches that life isn't about accumulating possessions, but about nurturing our souls and connections.We tend to cling to items and feelings that weigh us down, hindering our peace and joy.
