I’m challenging you to take a hard look at the “ships” in your life. What are you still holding onto? What’s keeping you from wholehearted surrender? If you’re ready to walk in bold obedience, live with intention, and follow Jesus without retreat—this one’s for you. 🎧 Listen now and get inspired to step into deeper faith.

    Advent Message: Where is God in the Silence.

    On December 6th, I had the privilege of speaking at a women’s event at Baylife Church, sharing a Christmas message centered around the question: Where is God in the silence? In this busy season, it’s easy to feel like God is distant, but I believe He is always present, even in the quiet moments. I invite you to listen to the end of the message, where I lead a special guided prayer. I hope this message brings encouragement and hope as we enter this Christmas season.
