    0006 - What Now series Ep 1

    You gave your life to Christ… now what? In Part 1 of our new three-part series, The What Now Series, Louis and I walk alongside new believers who are asking that exact question. This episode is all about helping you take your first intentional steps in your new faith journey. We cover three foundational practices every believer should focus on early: 1️⃣ Read your Bible – Why it matters, how to start, and a practical conversation around different Bible translations 2️⃣ Build a prayer routine – Making prayer a regular, real part of your daily life (even if you don’t know what to say yet) 3️⃣ Go to church – Why community matters and how finding a church helps you grow and stay grounded This episode is meant to be encouraging, simple, and practical—no pressure, no perfection required. Just clear next steps. In Part 2 and Part 3, we’ll slow down and dive deeper into each of these topics, helping you build rhythms that last. If you’re new to faith—or walking alongside someone who is—this series is for you.

    0005 - Living on a Prayer

    In this episode of The Break Check Podcast, we slow things down and talk about prayer—what it really looks like, why it matters, and how it shapes our everyday lives. Louis and I reflect on some of the biggest prayer moments in the Bible, exploring how prayer wasn’t just a religious ritual, but an honest, desperate, & sometimes bold conversation with God. From prayers spoken in fear and weakness to prayers rooted in faith and trust, we look at how prayer shows up in real human moments. We also share how these biblical truths apply to our own lives today—how prayer has looked different for us in different seasons, how it’s evolved over time, and how we’re learning to pray with more honesty, humility, and intention. This episode isn’t about having the “right words.” It’s about showing up. Whether prayer feels natural to you, uncomfortable, or something you’ve struggled with, this conversation is for anyone trying to grow, reflect, and reconnect. Prayer isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. Showing up honestly, consistently, and with a willing heart can change how we see God, ourselves, and the situations we’re walking through. Scripture referenced in this episode: 1 Samuel Chapter 1 & 2 "Hannah's Prayer" Daniel 6:10 "Daniels Defiant Prayer" 1 Thessalonians 5:6-18 "Pray without ceasing" Acts 12:5-11 "Prayer Breaks Chains" Philippians 4:6-7 "Don't be anxious" Matthew 6:9-13 "The Lords Prayer" Psalms 23 👍 LIKE • 💬 COMMENT • 🔔 SUBSCRIBE If this episode encouraged you, hit the like button!

    0003- Being Patient in a world of instant gratification!

    In a culture that demands everything now—fast results, quick answers, and instant satisfaction—patience feels like a lost discipline. In this episode of The Break Check Podcast, Louis and I slow things down and have an honest conversation about patience in a world that refuses to wait. We talk about how constant convenience, social media, and comparison have reshaped our expectations—and how that tension affects our faith, relationships, and personal growth. We also dive into what the Bible actually says about patience—not as passive waiting, but as an active, refining process that builds character, wisdom, and trust in God’s timing. Through scripture, personal reflection, and real-life examples, we explore why patience is harder than ever—and why it’s more important than ever. If you’ve ever felt frustrated waiting on God, worn down by life’s pace, or challenged to stay steady when everything around you moves fast, this episode is for you. Take a break. Reflect. Let patience do its work. The song we talked about is Close by We Are Messengers. Give it a listen! Also, Corn is botanically a fruit, but nutritionally and culinarily treated as a vegetable!  👍 LIKE • 💬 COMMENT • 🔔 SUBSCRIBE If this episode encouraged you, hit the like button!

    0002- What do you wish you were better at?

    In Episode 2 of The Break Check Podcast, Louis and I dive into a real and vulnerable conversation about the things we wish we were better at as men, husbands, fathers, and followers of Christ. We talk openly about the challenges of listening with intention, slowing down enough to truly hear the people we love, and learning when to hold back the truth—not to hide anything, but to avoid unnecessary hurt. This episode is all about growth, humility, and becoming the men God is shaping us to be. If you’re a man trying to grow in your walk, strengthen your relationships, and reflect Christ more clearly in your everyday life… this one’s for you. Grab a seat, take a break, and reflect with us. 👍 LIKE • 💬 COMMENT • 🔔 SUBSCRIBE If this episode encouraged you, hit the like button!
