In this episode we explore what it means to have an Orphan Mindset and how to trade it for thinking like a Son or Daughter. Along the way, we dive into how Attachment Wounds lead to legalism.
Somewhere along the line, you were taught your job was to keep others happy. Your sense of safety and well-being may have even depended on it. Church culture may have called it walking in love or peacemaking yet you are left to feel anything but love and peace is absent in your heart.
This may be the episode you've been wanting for.
Have you ever felt your emotions were a shameful part of you? Something to be ignored and not trusted?
Or maybe you've felt emotions needed to be conquered, whipped into shape, or silenced?
In this episode you will learn how emotions are your God-gifted information system and what to do with them so you can be a healthy, WHOLE person rather than fragmented and at war within yourself.
The podcast is back with a fresh name and more focused mission. Listen in!
In this episode, I share a meaningful Christmas tradition as my gift to you. I'm reading the story of Jesus' birth from the Book of Luke the way my grandfather did each Christmas before my family sat down for our Christmas dinner.
Let the magnitude of these words soak in. This is the story of the birth of not only THE Savior but YOUR Savior. The One who came to bring your peace, your wholeness, your rescue, your joy, and your freedom.
John 3:16 tells us, "God so loved the world that He GAVE..." and He is our greatest gift.

My daughter, Sarah, is on the podcast and she has some powerful words to share.
Listen in as Sarah shares what she has learned about choosing to cultivate her own relationship with God. She shares barriers she has pushed through and the inner strength that comes from knowing she is never alone.
This is a great listen for all ages!
Grief, simply put, is acknowledging the loss of someone or something that mattered. So why do we make grief so complicated? Why to we run from it, refuse it, self-medicate it, shame ourselves out of it, or sit in it forever and never move past it?
Well, I believe it's because we don't know how, or with Who, to process it in a healthy way.
Listen in for a perspective shift on grief. You may just learn that grief can be Holy Ground.
Today, on the podcast, I'm sharing a message I preached at my home church in Madison, AL. We were celebrating our 30th Church Anniversary and I was honored to preach the Wednesday night service.
I chose to share it here because it contains a significant part of my own testimony of this walk of freedom, and I believe it will be a blessing to you.

In part 3 of our series on Forgiveness, we dive into Matthew 5 and unpack this often misunderstood passage of scripture.
You have heard to, "Turn the other cheek," and "walk the extra mile," but you may not have known Jesus wasn't even teaching on forgiveness her, but rather righteous resistance. Listen in!

Forgiveness IS.... simply changing your Source. It's a supply chain question of Who you look to for repair of what's been broken or to restore what has been lost. This question is answered when we learn to move from an orphan mentality to a Covenant mentality. Join me in this week's teaching and learn to shift your source.

Forgiveness is one of those topics that is often misunderstood, misused, and even mistaught. Rather than scripture bringing freedom, it's used to bring bondage.
No more.
In this first installment of our 3-part series on the topic of forgiveness, we explore what forgiveness is not.
I celebrated my 40th birthday last month and have been thinking back on what I've learned this year. I share ten of those things in this week's episode.
Many people outstay a season, remain in toxic situations, or continue in environments they've outgrown over fear of being seen as "quitting."
But what if you're NOT quitting? What if, instead, you're leaving?
In this episode, we explore the difference.
