Calculated is a podcast where faith, logic, and life are all weighed against the truths of scripture. My aim is to break down life choices, it's questions, and everyday challenges with a logical and biblical perspective. Each episode is real talk and conversation about how to approach and think about life with a kingdom mindset. Where faith and logic intersect, everything is calculated.

    Episode 31: Dead Is Dead

    In this episode, I’m getting into the series on doctrine and theology. Starting with the "T" in TULIP: Total Depravity. We’re diving deep into what Scripture actually says about our condition apart from Christ, clearing up common misconceptions, and unpacking why this doctrine is foundational. I’ll walk through what it means to be spiritually dead, not just spiritually weak, and why that truth doesn’t crush us, but it sets the stage for grace to shine brighter.

    Episode 30: Not Saving, But Shaping

    In this episode, I’m talking about why theology and doctrine matter. It is not to save us, but to shape us. I’m talk about what it means to know God, not just know about Him, and how what we believe actually impacts how we live, love, suffer, and worship. This isn’t a theology lecture, but it’s an invitation to know the God who saved you, build your life on truth, and let that truth lead you to Jesus every time. This is the first part of a 7 part series that I am really excited about!

    Episode 28: Faithful Finish

    In this episode, I’m talking about what it means to finish well. Not just in the big picture of life and faith, but in the small, everyday things too. I’ve been challenged by how much it matters to do what’s in front of me with excellence and endurance, not for perfection’s sake, but to glorify God. From the ordinary tasks to the hardest seasons, I want to live and finish in a way that honors Him. In this episode, I look at Scripture, reflect on faithfulness, and talk about what it really means to run the race with purpose from beginning to end.

    Episode 27: The 67 Inch View

    In this episode, I’m diving how limited my perspective really is. At 5'7", I’ve got a 67-inch view of the world, but God sees from 30,000 feet. I talk through how people in Scripture struggled with shortsightedness too, and how their stories remind us that God is always working, even when we can’t see it. We’ll look at what it means to live fully present while still trusting the bigger picture, unpack different verses, and explore how this all ties back to the gospel. If you’ve ever felt stuck, confused, or unsure of what God is doing, this one’s for you.

    Episode 26: The Collapse

    In this episode, I talk about something we don’t always like to admit to - our collapse. Whether it's the collapse that comes during deconstruction or the collapse of our own self-sufficiency, it can feel terrifying. But what if collapse isn't the end? What if it’s where real life actually begins? I'll walk through why deconstruction happens, how we can respond to it with both compassion and truth, and how the deeper collapse, the collapse of self-reliance, is often where true conversion begins.

    Episode 25: The Forgotten Easter Story

    In this episode, I dive into the parts of the Easter story we don’t usually talk about. I cover the politics of Rome, who Thomas really was, the resurrected saints, the silence of Jesus, and what He said when He came back. I unpack how the resurrection changed everything for the disciples and how it should change everything for us. This isn’t just a story to remember once a year, but it’s the heart of the gospel, the power of our hope, and the reason we go.

    Episode 24: The Long Walk Home

    In this episode, I talk about the slow and painful process of sanctification or "the long walk" of being made holy. If you’ve ever felt like you should be further along than you are, or wondered why growth feels more like crawling than running, I am right there with you. In this episode, I explore what sanctification really is, why holiness is hard, and how God uses grace, trials, and even our stumbles to shape us into the image of Christ.
