Growing Through It

Have you ever watched another Christian say, “God told me to stop doing this” or “God convicted me to start doing that” and immediately thought… wait, am I supposed to be doing that too? Because same. Sometimes it feels like everyone has a different answer for what being a “good Christian” is supposed to look like. Should I delete social media? Stop listening to certain music? Wake up at 5 a.m. to spend time with God? Fast for a certain amount of time? And suddenly you’re wondering if you’re ...

This episode is for my girls who are struggling to read their Bible. Maybe you open your Bible and you’re like… what is even going on?? Maybe you WANT to be consistent but somehow you keep forgetting. Or maybe you’re reading it, but if we’re being so real, you’re just….bored. I have been every single one of these girls. For the longest time I felt like I was bad at reading the Bible because I genuinely did not understand what I was reading. And then I would see other girls with their be...

You still love God, so why does He feel distant? Why do you feel far from Him? Life gets busy. You’re constantly thinking or worrying about the future, what’s next, your finances, relationships, plans, things you’re excited about, things you’re scared about… and somewhere in the middle of all of it, things with God just start to feel different. That’s what happened to me. I love God. I wanted to be close to Him. But, I found myself asking, “God, why do I feel so distracted? ...

Some of us feel like we’re “waiting on God”… but if we’re honest, we’re also trying to help Him make sure that dream happens. You’re watching people get the job, the house, the engagement, the marriage, or the very thing you felt like God promised you, while your own life feels slow, unclear, or like it’s not moving at all. So you start thinking maybe you need to do more, say more, fix more, plan better, be better. Maybe if you send the text. Maybe if you don’t miss the opportunity. Maybe if ...

Be honest… is there something getting in the way of your relationship with God? You love Him. You care about your faith. But deep down, you know if this one thing or maybe even a few things weren’t there… you wouldn’t feel so distracted. I found myself there too. Where little things were quietly creating distance where there could have been intimacy and I didn’t even realize it at first. Because how do we know? Sometimes it just blends into our everyday lives. It feels normal. It doesn’t look...

I think a lot of women secretly want their softness back. We want to feel gentle again. We want to feel safe enough to be feminine, to be warm. But somewhere along the way, life taught us that softness isn’t safe. So we built walls. We learned how to protect ourselves. We became “the strong one.” And sometimes that strength was necessary. Sometimes it helped us survive. But if we’re honest… a lot of us are tired of it. In this episode, I want to talk about the tension so many women feel...

Lately I’ve felt a heaviness that’s hard to explain. Are you guys feeling it too? Not just regular sadness, something deeper. Like my eyes have been opened to how much darkness there really is in the world. And if I’m honest, it made me feel overwhelmed… and even angry. The kind of anger that makes you want to call everything out. But somewhere in that, I realized my heart was starting to feel hard and that scared me. Because I never want to look more like the world than I look like Jesus. Go...

You’ve been avoiding that thing. Maybe it’s one thing. Maybe it’s a few. But deep down… you know exactly what this episode is about. For so long, I believed I had to wait for peace before I moved, before I started something, ended something, or took the next step God was asking of me. I thought peace was the sign. The confirmation. The green light. But Scripture tells a different story. In this episode, we’re talking about why God doesn’t always give peace before obedience and why waiting f...

A lot of us are “locking in” this year, but what does that actually look like with God? Especially when faith doesn’t feel intense anymore… when you’re still showing up, but you don’t always feel God the way everyone else says they do. Every New Year, we hear messages that fire us up: “reset your faith”, “get back on track”, “go harder this time” but so often they don’t give us the tools to actually stay with God once the excitement fades. This episode is about something deeper than motivatio...

This episode is for the girl who’s becoming, but still surrounded by the things that shaped her wounds. The one who feels caught in the in-between season, the waiting season, where you’re no longer who you used to be, but you’re still not who you’re praying to become. It’s for the one who loves God, wants to heal, and is trying to grow, yet keeps finding herself triggered by the same family dynamics, the same emotions, the same questions. It’s about that quiet fear that whispers, “If God is r...

We’re back with another honest girl chat episode! We’re talking about all the things we usually keep to ourselves: lust struggles, stubborn crushes, faith burnout, perfectionism, figuring out God’s will, and even how to share the Gospel with family who might not understand your faith. Lots of real talk about loving Jesus while still figuring life out, walking by the Spirit when your flesh feels louder and so much more! Can’t wait to catch up with you guys!! Scriptures Mentioned Ephes...

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough for God, like no matter how much you pray, serve, or show up, it’s still never enough… this episode is for you. We talk about that quiet pressure so many of us carry as Christians. The pressure to perform, to be “good,” to never fall short. Everyone online makes it look so easy… their routines, their faith, their peace and you start wondering, What am I missing? Why do I feel exhausted? But what if God isn’t asking for perfection? What if He’...

Everyone gets angry. We all see and go through things that frustrate us or make our blood boil. But, even if you don’t think you have “anger issues,” it’s still easy to let anger lead you into sin. In today’s episode, Drew joins me to talk honestly about our own battles with anger. What it looked like before Christ, how it still shows up now, and what the Bible really says about how to be slow to anger. We’re diving into real stories, real struggles, and the truth that God’s Word gives us to ...

Have you ever felt like following Jesus makes you the “weird one” in the room? Like you’re left out of family gatherings, friend groups, or opportunities because of your faith? I’ve been there too. While reading the Old Testament, I kept coming back to the Levites, the tribe God set apart to serve Him. They didn’t get land like everyone else, but God Himself was their portion. From the outside, it may have looked like they were missing out, but in reality, they had the greatest gift of all: c...

Feeling far from God lately? Maybe you’ve been distracted, maybe life feels heavy, or maybe you’ve just quietly drifted without even realizing it. This episode is a reminder that the same God who brought Israel out of Egypt is the same God who’s brought you out of your own Egypt….your heartbreak, your past maybe even just your old self. Forgetting Him is what pulls us further away, but remembering what He’s already done shifts everything. In this conversation, I talk about why we so eas...

“I feel like I’m wasting my life.” If you’ve ever said that to yourself while scrolling, procrastinating, numbing out, or crying in secret, this episode is for you. It’s for the person who cries on their birthday because she feels like another year passed them by. For the dreamer who has a million ideas in their heart but feels too scared to take the first step. For the one who’s tired of feeling stuck: spiritually, emotionally, mentally and doesn’t know how to move forward. I know what it’s ...

Fasting. It’s something we’ve all heard about… but I wonder how many of us truly understand it or have actually stepped into it? The beautiful thing is, fasting isn’t just for “super spiritual” people or moments of crisis. It’s for all of us. Jesus said when you fast, not if. Fasting is one of the most powerful ways to draw close to God, hear His voice, and let Him work in your life in ways you didn’t expect.In this episode, I share what biblical fasting really is (and isn’t), how to start,...

This one’s personal. I’ve been asked how I healed from childhood trauma and the truth is, I’m still healing. I haven’t “arrived,” and maybe I never fully will this side of Heaven. But what I’ve learned is this: God doesn’t wait for us to be whole to walk with us. He meets us in the wound. In this episode, I open up about what it looks like to follow Jesus while still bleeding. I talk about the thorn in my side, how God’s word taught me to lament, and the power of being honest with God when li...

Have you ever said "yes" when everything in you was saying "no" just because you were scared of disappointing someone, scared of not being liked? Same. And honestly... it’s exhausting. Today, we’re getting real about people-pleasing and how, for so long, we labeled it as "kindness" or "love," when really, it was fear wearing a mask. Fear of rejection. Fear of not being enough. But here’s the hope: Jesus never called us to live for approval, He called us to live in freedom. In this episode, we...

This one’s a little different. It’s not a typical episode… it’s more of a pause. I really felt the Holy Spirit tugging on me to just stop and remember what Jesus did. Not just on Good Friday, but every day — because this story is still changing lives. This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and sit with the love of a God who didn’t stay distant, but stepped into our mess. Who chose the cross — not because He had to, but because He wanted to. It’s not just a story about pain. &nbs...

Today’s episode is a big sister Q&A — just real, honest girl talk about the things we all wonder but don’t always say out loud. We’re talking about losing friendships in your 20’s, struggling with lust as a Christian girl, trusting God in waiting seasons, dealing with insecurity, making the first move in dating, and even how to start reading your Bible. I’ve missed you guys so much, and it feels so good to sit down and just talk again. My heart for this episode is that you leave feeling s...

Would you still listen to this episode if it had nothing to do with you… but everything to do with God? We live in a world that constantly asks, "What can God do for me?" But what if faith wasn’t about what we get, but about who He is? What if we stopped making our relationship with God a transaction and started making it a posture, one of surrender, trust, and devotion? This episode isn’t about us. It’s about Him. I want to challenge you today: What would your life look like if it was ...
