    Episode 16: If God is good, why do bad things happen?

    If you have prayer requests or a burning topic/question on your heart, text me, and let's take it to God together. "If God is so good, then why do bad things happen?" It may be the most asked question in all of faith, whispered in hospital hallways, shouted at gravesides, and carried quietly by people who still show up to church every Sunday. In this episode of Faith Unscripted, we sit with that question honestly. We look at the gift of free will, why real love requires a real choice, and why a God who removed every possibility of bad would also have to remove every possibility of good. We trace where brokenness came from, how God works in the middle of our pain, and the promise that suffering will not have the last word. This conversation will not hand you a tidy answer, but it will hand you a Savior who stepped into the hurt with us. Grab your coffee, bring your questions, and let's get unscripted.   Key Scriptures (NIV): Genesis 1–3; Deuteronomy 30:19; Joshua 24:15; Genesis 50:20; Romans 8:22, 28; John 16:33; Isaiah 53:5; Revelation 21:4

    Episode 15: Day 41

    If you have prayer requests or a burning topic/question on your heart, text me, and let's take it to God together. What happens after the storm subsides, the rain stops, and the forty days end? In this episode of Faith Unscripted, we explore the powerful biblical theme of 40-day trials—from Noah’s ark and Moses on Mount Sinai to Elijah in the wilderness and Jesus in the desert. We uncover a life-changing truth: 40 represents the season of testing, but Day 41 is the day of breakthrough. Finally, we anchor our heart in Daniel Chapter 3, reminding ourselves that even in the hottest fires of life, we are never walking alone—there is always a Fourth Man in the fire with us. Tune in for an inspiring message of hope, endurance, and divine victory!

    Episode 14: Who are you when no one is looking?

    If you have prayer requests or a burning topic/question on your heart, text me, and let's take it to God together. When the doors are shut and nobody is watching, our true character is revealed. In this episode of Faith Unscripted, we dive into the life of Joseph in Genesis 39 and examine what it actually takes to walk in uncompromising integrity. ​Living in a culture that often prioritizes reputation over character, Joseph shows us that integrity isn't just about avoiding bad choices—it’s about a deeply rooted commitment to God that guides us when temptation is at its highest and consequences seem non-existent.  Tune in for an unfiltered, honest conversation on moving beyond surface-level religion and stepping into a faith that holds up under pressure.

    Episode 13: Judas was the Vessel

    If you have prayer requests or a burning topic/question on your heart, text me, and let's take it to God together. Betrayal can shake our confidence in people, ourselves, and even God—but it does not have to define the ending of our story. In Episode 13 of Faith Unscripted, we look at Judas’s role in the events leading to the cross and explore how God can work through painful, unexpected vessels without excusing the harm they cause. This honest conversation offers encouragement for healing, setting wise boundaries, rebuilding trust, and believing that God can still bring purpose from our pain.

    Episode 12: What are you hiding from?

    If you have prayer requests or a burning topic/question on your heart, text me, and let's take it to God together. In this episode of Faith Unscripted, we dig into the quiet ways we bury the gifts God has placed in us. Those talents, passions, and callings weren’t given by accident—they were entrusted to you because someone else needs them. Stop hiding. Start releasing what Heaven has already deposited. Your obedience could be the answer to someone else’s prayer.

    Episode 11: REST

    If you have prayer requests or a burning topic/question on your heart, text me, and let's take it to God together. Rest isn’t a modern luxury—it’s a biblical design. Jesus Himself models rest, commands it, and offers it freely through Christ. True rest is both a gift and a calling for every believer.

    Episode 10: Who are you listening to?

    If you have prayer requests or a burning topic/question on your heart, text me, and let's take it to God together. In this episode of Faith Unscripted, we’re asking a powerful question: “Who are you listening to?” Even as believers, we have to be mindful of the voices we allow to shape our thoughts, decisions, and identity—especially in difficult seasons. This conversation explores discernment, spiritual influence, and the importance of knowing who we are and Whose we are. With a gentle reminder for new believers and those still unsure about faith, this episode points us back to the truth that God loves us deeply, speaks clearly, and invites us to seek Him above every other voice.

    Episode 9: Grief Has a Name

    If you have prayer requests or a burning topic/question on your heart, text me, and let's take it to God together. Grief is not limited to death, in a physical sense. We can grieve the loss of a person, a relationship, a friendship, a job, a dream, a season, or even the version of life we thought we would have. But grief also has a way of revealing what is happening beneath the surface of our hearts. It can expose whether we are running from God, questioning God, clinging to God, or allowing Him to meet us right in the middle of our sorrow.

    Episode 8: The Cost of Distraction

    If you have prayer requests or a burning topic/question on your heart, text me, and let's take it to God together. In a world full of notifications, endless to-do lists, and constant noise, how often are we truly present with the people right in front of us? In this episode, we unpack how distraction quietly erodes our most important relationships. Drawing from the biblical story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10, we explore the stark contrast between being busy for someone and simply being with them. Join us as we discuss how to break free from the trap of noble distractions, shift from task-mode to connection, and choose "the better part" in our daily lives.

    Episode 7: Breakfast on the Beach

    If you have prayer requests or a burning topic/question on your heart, text me, and let's take it to God together. In this episode of Faith Unscripted, we sit with the powerful restoration moment in John 21:12–17, where Jesus meets His disciples on the shore after the resurrection and prepares breakfast for them. As Peter returns to what is familiar after failure and uncertainty, Jesus gently restores him with three questions of love—redeeming the three denials that once marked his shame. This episode is a reminder that failure does not have to be the end of your story. In the hands of Jesus, even our lowest moments can become the place where grace restores, recommissions, and calls us forward.

    Episode 6: Forgiveness

    If you have prayer requests or a burning topic/question on your heart, text me, and let's take it to God together. In this episode of Faith Unscripted, we are talking about one of the hardest, holiest, and most necessary parts of the Christian walk: forgiveness. Not the casual kind of forgiveness we say with our mouths while still replaying the offense in our minds, but the deep, heart-level release that allows God to heal what was wounded, restore what was broken, and move us forward into what He has prepared for us. Matthew 18:21–35 — The parable of the unforgiving servant Mark 11:25 — Forgiveness and prayer Ephesians 4:31–32 — Releasing bitterness and forgiving as Christ forgave us Colossians 3:13 — Bearing with one another and forgiving one another Genesis 50:15–21 — Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers Hebrews 12:14–15 — The danger of a root of bitterness Matthew 6:14–15 — The connection between forgiving others and walking in God’s forgiveness

    Episode 5: Stay Salty

    If you have prayer requests or a burning topic/question on your heart, text me, and let's take it to God together. Today we’re talking about what it means to be salt and light. That phrase may sound familiar if you grew up in church or have read the Sermon on the Mount, but sometimes familiar Scriptures can become so familiar that we stop letting them examine us. Jesus did not say, “Try to become salt and light one day.” He said, “You are the salt of the earth” and “You are the light of the world.” This isn’t just a nice Christian saying to slap on a bumper sticker. It’s an identity statement. It is a calling. But most importantly, it’s an invitation.
