    Why I Believe is Baaaaack!

    As a birthday present to myself, I wanted to relaunch my podcast. It's been heavy on my heart for a long time but I never took the step to actually press record again. Here we are! This solo episode, I share four takeaways from the journey to restart the podcast. If God has called you to do something that makes you uncomfortable and challenges you to step outside of your comfort zone, then this episode is for you.

    The Lies We Believe ft. Theresa Boedeker

    Lies have the power to kill, steal and destroy. In this week's conversation, Theresa and I unpack the power of shame and how through God's word we can unpack any lie that tries to deter us from walking into the fullness of God's love for each and every one of us.

    May this conversation empower you to walk in freedom.

Needed and noteworthy!!

I absolutely love this podcast! It’s so needed within the world. I love that each story is different but relatable. For the non believer, believer, or somewhere in between, this podcast will bring you joy, make you think, inspire you and bring you hope to keep believing!

God is moving through this podcast!

This podcast from episode one has brought so much joy to my heart. To the host - THANK YOU FOR YOUR YES 🙌🏽 I literally don’t know when & if I ever would’ve shared this testimony with anyone if it hadn’t been for you & this podcast! I am so so so thankful but I know most importantly God is so thankful that you will be a co-pilot to transforming the eyes of people who you can’t even see physically. all I see is perspectives & minds changing as people are reactivated through your spirit & under the words of this podcast.

Such an amazing platform 🙏🏽 amen!
