    #63: Holy Dreams, Hesitant Hearts

    God is a Creator — and because we are made in His image, He has placed dreams and creative callings inside each of us. But so often, when He nudges us toward obedience, hesitation creeps in. In this episode, we talk about why holy dreams sometimes meet hesitant hearts — and the subtle things that hold us back from stepping forward in faith. From perfectionism and fear to waiting for clarity and approval, we unpack common roadblocks that keep us stuck instead of moving in obedience. You’ll be encouraged to shift from hesitation to faithfulness, remember that God values obedience over bravery, and take your next small step toward the dream He’s placed in your heart. Because in God’s Kingdom, creation isn’t about scale — it’s about faithfulness. ✨ Plus, don’t forget to join us at Rooted Together on February 27th!

    #62: How Perfect Love Casts Out Fear

    Fear is something every one of us battles — but what if the answer isn’t trying harder to be brave? In this episode, we unpack 1 John 4:18 and the powerful truth that perfect love casts out fear. John was writing to believers who wrestled with fear of judgment and punishment, struggling to fully rest in what the cross had accomplished. And if we’re honest, we’ve been there too — wondering, Am I really forgiven? What if I mess up again? Has God changed His mind about me? When we misunderstand the cross, fear often takes root. But when we refocus on the finished work of Jesus, we move from striving to abiding — abiding in His love, security, and freedom. In this conversation, we talk about:• The deeper roots behind our everyday fears• Why self-help can’t break fear’s chains• What Jesus fully accomplished through the cross• How to move forward in obedience — even with shaky knees We don’t live free from fear because life is easy. We live free because Jesus’ love is steady, finished, and forever. If fear has been playing a leading role in your story lately, this episode will gently guide you back to the unshakable love of Christ — the only love powerful enough to cast it out.

    #61: Living Water

    Why do we still feel so thirsty—even when our lives look full? In this episode of Worth the Risk, we talk about living water, broken cisterns, and the subtle ways we turn to things other than God to satisfy our deepest needs. Drawing from Jeremiah 2 and Jesus’ words in the Gospel of John, we explore how good things like success, relationships, security, and even ministry can quietly become empty wells. Jesus doesn’t just offer water that satisfies for a moment—He offers living water that never runs dry. And through the Holy Spirit, that water becomes a well within us, flowing outward to others. If you’ve been feeling burned out, anxious, or spiritually dry, this episode invites you to pause, reflect, and ask a simple but powerful question:What am I really drinking from?

    #60: Aging Gracefully

    Aging isn’t always a fun topic—but it’s an important one. In a world that constantly tells us to fight wrinkles, slow time, and hold onto youth at all costs, it’s easy to forget what Scripture actually says about aging. The Bible presents growing older not as something to fear, but as something worthy of honor—rich with wisdom, purpose, and meaning. In this episode, we talk honestly about: • Why aging is seen as a gift in Scripture • The tension between caring for our bodies and coveting what we once had • How cultural pressure can quietly turn youth into an idol • What it looks like to steward the body God has given us without shame or obsession This is a gentle but honest conversation about releasing comparison, honoring the season you’re in, and remembering that aging means we’re drawing closer to eternity—not farther from purpose.

Together, we talk about: A quick overview of Joseph’s story (Genesis 37–50) How God works behind the scenes when life feels unfair Why delays are often preparation, not denial How forgiveness, faithfulness, and obedience shape God’s greater purpose Personal stories of pain the enemy meant for harm — and how God brought redemption If you’re walking through a season that feels heavy, confusing, or unfinished, this episode is a reminder that God isn’t done writing your story.

    #58: Preparing Our Hearts to Make the Most of 2026 (For God’s Glory)

    The start of a new year often brings with it excitement, goals, and fresh motivation. But what happens when you feel the weight of what God has called you to before you feel the joy? In this episode, we open up about entering 2026 not just with fresh vision—but with some honest questions and quiet wrestlings too. From questions like “Did I hear God right?” to the temptation to compete, hurry, or strive, we walk through four powerful Scriptures God used to anchor our hearts as we step into this new year. Together, we talk about: What it means to truly live as a new creation How to trust that God has already prepared the good works ahead of us Why abiding, not striving, leads to fruitfulness And how to embrace the pruning seasons that God uses to grow us This episode is for anyone starting the year with excitement and a little hesitation. We hope you leave reminded that God’s invitation for 2026 isn’t pressure—it’s posture. 📍 Rooted Together is coming up February 27th! Mark your calendar and stay tuned for more details!

    #56: Good News for Times of Testing

    This week’s episode is full of encouragement for the weary. As the year winds down, we often reflect not just on our highlights—but on our hardest moments, too. Whether you’re walking through personal battles, feeling overwhelmed, or facing trials that test your faith, this conversation is for you. We dive into Luke 22 and Hebrews 7 to uncover a beautiful truth: Jesus is praying for you—even now. The same Jesus who prayed for Peter is actively interceding for you in your moments of weakness, weariness, and testing. We talk through: • What Jesus’s intercession really means for us today • The three-part cycle of testing, intercession, and testimony • Personal stories of trials that turned into powerful testimonies • Why your breakthrough isn’t just for you—it’s for the strengthening of others Plus, in this week’s “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” we share hilarious stories about our very first jobs (yes, uniforms and all 🙃). This episode is a warm reminder: you are not alone in the fire—and Jesus is praying you through it.
