In this last season of my life I've experienced withdrawals, both mentally and physically from an acceptance addiction and a substance dependence. During this time the thing I realized is that the only way for me to get through the withdrawals and remain true to my convictions was to depend on God in a way that I haven't ever really experienced before. Both of my withdrawals from addiction were rooted in dopamine - I wanted to feel good - but it lead to a life of bondage and serving two masters (which isn't possible).

"Grace" is a word that has lost a lot of its power due to culture, overuse and not fully experiencing it. Grace is one of the most powerful forces in all the universe and when you taste of it, it will impact your life and cause drastic change. I'm joined today with Julie Wood, of the Just Initiative, a non profit that helps people in the Tampa Bay area find a pathway out of poverty. She has both received and given grace countless times and shares with us about those experiences.

“Be holy, as I am holy,” is a verse that still triggers me deeply. This verse was used as a weapon, to place a heavy burden on people, shaming them and in essence saying, “you need to do better.” I wanted to have this conversation today because I know deep down that the way I understood “holiness” from my church upbringing wasn’t the real definition of what Jesus meant when he invited us to be like Him (aka “holy”). I left this conversation feeling inspired and hungry to truly be holy. I hope you find the same.

Religion has hijacked the image of God and made Him out to be a distant and angry being. The life and teachings of Jesus show us the complete opposite- God is not mad at you. He is madly in love with you. If you feel like a failure, a reject or overlooked, this episode is for you.

During the summer, God dramatically interrupted my path. He broke into my world, removed scales from my eyes, and showered me with his love and grace. In this episode, I talk about what transpired, and how it has impact it my life. It always amazes me how I can end up in places of deception and not even realize it. In God‘s kindness and grace, he remains faithful, and always finds a way to call me back to the purity of knowing him. If you feel like you’ve lost the reality and impact of the truth of God’s amazing love, this episode is for you. Nothing can separate us!
