In this episode, we’re diving deep into what I call the language of victory. This is not the self-made, self-powered victory the world so often talks about, but the victory that comes through partnership with Christ. Sure, the world says things like “Believe in yourself” or “Manifest your destiny,” and I’m not here to fully dismiss self-confidence. There’s value there. But biblical victory sounds different. It says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13). This is not about going it alone—it’s about leaning into God, bringing your talents, your abilities, even your weaknesses, and laying them at His feet.

We’ll unpack the difference between self-reliance and Christ-reliance, explore the stories of Moses, David, Esther, and Gideon, and talk about how real victory often looks like surrender. This isn’t a passive faith, but an active, relentless fight, marked by gratitude, persistence, and the courage to face opposition. Whether it’s Nehemiah rebuilding the wall or Paul fighting the good fight, victory comes not by our own might but by standing firm with God at our side. So let’s rise up, stand strong, and live out this language of victory, one faithful step at a time.

Have you ever felt like giving up? Like you're done, tapped out, can't take one more thing? You're not alone and you're not broken for feeling that way. In this episode, we take a real and honest look at the moments when even the greatest heroes of faith, heroes like Elijah, Jeremiah, and even Jesus faced discouragement. But it’s not just about feeling low; it’s about what you do next.

We also dive into the life of Barnabas, the “Son of Encouragement,” a man who didn’t work miracles, didn’t seek the spotlight, but left behind a legacy that’s lasted 2,000 years simply by showing up, standing up for the outcasts, and choosing to see potential where others only saw problems. Whether it was vouching for a distrusted Saul of Tarsus or standing by a failed John Mark, Barnabas shows us that encouragement isn’t about coddling, but rather, it’s about calling people to higher ground.

This is about the small, messy, everyday ways we lift each other closer to God. Because the story isn’t over yet. Yours story, my story, or their story, so let’s talk about how to stay in the fight and how to be a Barnabas when the world needs it most.

In this episode, I wrestle with one of the deepest struggles we all face, the silence of God. Drawing from the raw, honest cry of the prophet Habakkuk, I unpack what it means to question, to hurt, and to wait when heaven seems unresponsive. We dive into scripture, from David’s anguish in the Psalms to Paul’s hardships, to Jesus’ own cry from the cross, to remind ourselves that spiritual struggle is not a sign of weak faith, but of real faith.

God’s silence doesn’t mean His absence. Sometimes, silence is the sacred space where faith deepens. We explore how to move from complaint to confidence, from “How long, O Lord?” to “Yet I will rejoice.” I challenge us to examine our assumptions about God’s role in our lives, and to recognize the growth, endurance, and spiritual maturity that often come in the waiting.

This isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about trusting the One who does. If you’re in a season of silence, this message is for you. Let’s learn to bring our aching hearts honestly before God, and in doing so, grow into a deeper faith, one that finds strength even when the fig tree does not blossom.

In this episode, I take a deep dive into what it truly means to step into the waters of baptism, not as a hollow ritual or symbolic tradition, but as a resurrection moment. So many of us are chasing fulfillment through relationships, success, experiences, but still feel that tug inside, that hunger for something more. I believe that something "more" begins when we fully surrender to God and start walking a new path with Him.

Baptism isn’t about perfection; it’s about a beginning. It’s that moment where we bury the old self and rise into a new life with Christ, not by our works, but through the working of God. This isn’t just about getting wet; it’s about spiritual rebirth, about learning to ride both the physical and spiritual horses of life with grace and purpose.

Whether you’ve been sitting on the sidelines wondering if there’s more or wrestling with doubts about being "good enough" for church, this conversation is for you. We talk about the lies we believe, the excuses we make, and the open invitation God extends to us through baptism. He’s done His part. Now it’s our turn to respond.

Let’s talk about what resurrection really looks like.

In this episode, I invite you to sit with me in one of the most challenging yet powerful conversations we can have: what does it truly mean to live in love? Not just talk about it, not just act the part, but to let love saturate every small act, every thought, every moment. Pulling from 1 Corinthians 13, we explore how love gives meaning to everything we do, whether it’s holding a door, choosing patience over irritation, or learning to remain steady through the hard seasons. It’s not the grand gestures that define a life of love, it’s the tiny, often unseen acts repeated daily with kindness and purpose. Love is patient. Love is kind. Love doesn’t keep score. And when it’s real, it shines through even the simplest things, like picking up your socks or pausing before reacting. We talk about the importance of not weaponizing truth, staying slow to anger, and always choosing to see others with grace. Because when we’re wrapped up in Christ, we’re wrapped up in something eternal, and that’s where real love begins. Let’s unpack what it means to be people who truly love, in the little things and the big ones.

Have you ever sat in a worship service and felt like a spectator instead of a participant? This week, I open up about something that’s deeply personal and spiritually powerful, our practice of a cappella singing. It’s not about professional quality or production value. It’s about heart. In this episode, I talk about why we’ve intentionally chosen simplicity over spectacle, and why God isn’t asking for perfection, He’s asking for presence. Through Scripture, history, and a few real-life stories, I make the case that worship was never meant to be a concert for the crowd. It’s a heartfelt offering to God, a melody made in the soul. Whether you sing off-key or not at all, this is your invitation to silence that inner critic and realize that your voice, your unique, imperfect voice, is exactly what God wants to hear. Because in true worship, we’re not just singing about God; we’re singing to Him. No fog machines. No center stage. Just you, your heart, and a God who’s listening.

In this episode, The Deceiver’s Handbook, I walk through seven strategies Satan uses to keep us distanced from God’s word, and how we can counter every single one. We kick things off in Matthew 13 with the parable of the sower, exploring how distraction, superficial faith, and spiritual forgetfulness play right into the enemy’s hands. From there, we dig deep into how Satan substitutes truth with tradition, crowds out the Word with busyness, deadens our connection to Scripture, delays our obedience, and twists the truth to keep us comfortable but spiritually ineffective.

This isn’t about shame or guilt, it’s about waking up, owning where we’ve let things slide, and choosing to start fresh. Whether it’s starting small with a single verse or creating daily rhythms that keep Scripture front and center, this episode is packed with real, practical tools to plant the Word deep in your life. If you’ve ever felt like your Bible’s just been gathering dust or your faith is stuck in neutral, this one’s for you. Let’s stop nodding in agreement and start moving in faith. Because the clock is ticking, and the enemy is counting on our delay. But we’re not giving him the win.

In this episode, I reflect on the life of Moses, not just the miraculous highlights, but the messy, unsure, deeply human parts of his story. Moses didn’t have it all figured out. He started from a place of brokenness and confusion, wrestling with identity, purpose, and failure. And yet, God called him anyway. That’s the heart of this message: you’re still called. No matter your age, your past, or how far off track you feel, God isn’t done with you.

We talk about how failure doesn’t disqualify us, it trains us. We explore what it means to take one small step instead of being overwhelmed by the entire journey. I challenge the lie that you need to have it all together before God can use you. Spoiler: you don’t. In fact, God specializes in using imperfect people.

You might not be leading a nation through parted seas, but your faithfulness matters. And when the conditions aren’t perfect, and they never are, you can still move forward. God’s power hasn’t expired. If you’re breathing, He can use you. So, are you still listening? Because the call is still there.
