    Ep5: Discipleship & Today's Church

    In this episode, we open up about the vital role of true discipleship within church communities. We reflect on the hunger of new believers, who, like newborns seek to be nurtured in faith. We dive deep into how churches can truly welcome and guide them. We also reflect on weary church leaders who need renewal. Our Sifting Life ministries seek to dismantle gatekeeping, reorganize leadership by developing intergenerational models and offer deliverance to all, therefore restoring these leaders—so they can rebuild on Christ’s principles and shepherd with strength and grace. 'Go therefore and make disciples of all nations' (Matthew 28:19).'

    Ep4: Deliverance, Altars & Idols

    In this episode, we have an honest and grounded conversation about deliverance—what it truly is, what it isn’t, and why it remains relevant for believers today.We explore the concept of altars, not only in a biblical sense, but in how they show up in modern life through repeated patterns, agreements, habits, and unexamined loyalties. Some altars are built intentionally. Others form quietly over time through fear, success, trauma, or survival.We also unpack idols—not as obvious false gods, but as anything that subtly takes priority over God: control, performance, approval, comfort, over-achieving, or even good things that become ultimate things.This episode isn’t about fear, condemnation, or extremes.It’s about awareness, humility, repentance, and freedom.If you’ve noticed cycles that keep repeating, resistance in certain areas of your life, or a sense that breakthrough feels close but never quite lands, this conversation offers clarity and invitation—not pressure.Deliverance begins with truth.Freedom begins with surrender.Alignment begins when the heart turns fully back to God.

    Ep3: Healing Through God's Voice: A Journey with Heather O'Brien

    In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Heather Obrien, host of the Heal With God podcast, for an honest and sacred conversation about what it truly means to heal God’s way.Heather is a prophetic healing coach, minister, author, and speaker who helps Christians heal by learning to hear God’s voice and partner with Him in the process of restoration. Her work is gentle, grounded, and profoundly led by the Holy Spirit—and in this episode, you’ll feel that from the very first moment.During our conversation, Heather lovingly guided me through layers the Lord had been inviting me to surrender: the idolization of over-achieving subtle pride hidden in “doing for God” instead of being with God deep-rooted fears of being seen, known, and fully yieldedThrough prophetic insight and deliverance ministry, Heather created a space that was safe, reverent, and deeply transformative. There was no striving—only truth, compassion, and God’s presence doing the real work.This episode is for anyone who:Feels exhausted from performing instead of resting in GodKnows healing is needed but doesn’t want another formulaDesires freedom without shameIs ready to let God lead the healing, not control it themselvesThis is not about self-improvement.This is about surrender.This is about healing that flows from intimacy with God.If you’ve been sensing the Lord inviting you to lay something down—your image, your outcomes, your need to be in control—this conversation may be the confirmation your spirit has been waiting for. Healing doesn’t come from trying harder. It comes from yielding deeper. Want to connect with us? Send us an email: Siftinglife@gmail.com

    Ep 2: A Journey of Faith

    In this episode of Sifting Life, we dive deep into the timeless teachings of Jesus and how He confronted the Pharisees of His day—challenging the systems of hypocrisy and empty ritual that had led people astray. Today, we see echoes of that same story: a revival of faith rising as people grow weary of modern systems of deception, greed, and gluttony.Join us for a heartfelt discussion about how this revival is unfolding. We'll talk about the deep hunger for truth, the turning away from empty promises, and the quest to rediscover genuine spiritual integrity in a world often clouded by material excess.Tune in and let’s sift through these layers together.
