There are some songs that we absolutely love to hear on repeat at certain times of the year, because it touches our soul and our memories in some way. Songs can mark milestones in our lives and bring us back to that very moment when we hear it again. Songs can connect us to other people and actually bring hearts into alignment. Singing songs on a bad day can sometimes be the only thing to turn the mood around and shift our perspective. Why is that? Well, God designed our brains with such inte...

The Simplicity of the Sabbath (What It Is, Why You Need It, and How to Do It)
Has someone ever told you to rest and you think, “I wish I could!” Well, a tea bag label once told me, “When God made time, he made enough of it.” That convicted me then, and it continues to convict me today if I ever catch myself saying I don’t have enough time to rest. God was very intentional in showing us a weekly pattern or rhythm we can all follow — work for 6 days, then rest for 1. But it’s one of the Ten Commandments that we can very easily brush aside when our to-do list feels ...

The 7 Types of Rest You Need
Have you found yourself feeling absolutely exhausted lately? Perhaps physically tired, because your kids woke up way too early or far too often throughout the night... Or maybe you feel emotionally tired, mentally overwhelmed, or spiritually depleted. This episode is for you, my friend. We don't just need a nap to feel rested... we need 7 types of rest to feel truly restored. Yes, SEVEN. And I reckon you probably have a "rest deficit" in a few of these 7 areas. So, hit play,...

The Rhythm of Repetition
Life isn’t meant to be a constant sprint... yet sometimes we find ourselves on a hamster wheel and feel like we can't get off to catch our breath. On this episode, let's look at how nature teaches us that life is lived in rhythms — seasons that cycle and patterns that repeat. Perhaps embracing repetition, rest, and renewal is the very thing you need to bring balance to your life. Just as the earth pauses in winter and blooms again in spring, we too are designed for rhythms of work and rest, g...

Yet I Will Rejoice
Ever felt like you were wrestling God? Have you ever gone to God with question after question in an attempt to understand the season you were in? Today, let’s explore the book of Habakkuk together to understand how this man learned to both wrestle and embrace God. He knows what waiting on God feels like, and he wasn’t ashamed to enter into conversation with God about the struggles he was facing. Carrying confetti can sometimes feel like a ‘wrestle and embrace’ too. It doesn’t erase the strugg...

Welcome to a spontaneous bonus episode I felt to record after putting the kids to bed ☺️ Apologies for not being able to deliver my usual Monday episode!

Hills, High Places, and the Promise of Heaven
We've made it to the final episode in our series on the aesthetics of joy, and I'm excited to bring you one that speaks to the notion of transcendence. Why do we long for a feeling of lightness and elevation? And where should we look to find it? Also, why is upwardness a metaphor for positivity? What effect does an upward motion have on our minds? Just like the enemy can try and distort our joy of wonder and joy of abundance, he's also relentlessly tried to distort the joy of tran...

BONUS: Come Into the Light
Hey y'all! Welcome to my first bonus episode, because it felt like the right week to sprinkle a little extra confetti... and a little extra joy found through freedom in Jesus Christ. This message is one I recently spoke at Replenish Conference -- an annual women's conference we host at our local church, Elim Papakura. But this message is not just for women! Men, I know you're listening, and I promise you (hand on heart) this bonus episode is for you too. When I spoke it live, many women...

Wide Open Spaces, Wild Open Hearts
What does freedom feel like? Maybe it's a windswept hilltop where you can see for miles, salt on your skin as you stand at the edge of the ocean, or perhaps it's bare feet on the ground of a garden where you're producing food for your family. In this episode, we explore the joy found in wildness, open spaces, and the untamed beauty of nature — and how it echoes a deeper, soul-level freedom found in Christ. Why does our soul long for a sense of freedom? And what happens in communities when a s...

Life Was Never Meant to Be This Chaotic
Hey friend, sometimes our lives can feel pretty disordered and chaotic... yet they were never meant to be. But all too easily, we can slip into crowded schedules, working overtime to make ends meet, drowning in laundry for a growing family, attempting to maintain a social life, keep the house clean, weed the garden, often failing to look after ourselves, and maybe you're in a position where too many people are asking you questions... and you're tired... Maybe... just maybe... you ...

From Gray to Yay: How Colour and Light Transform Your Life
The use of colour and light can transform a room, an office, and even a city. Could it also transform you? Let's dig into the powerful aesthetic of joy called 'energy' that's shown through colour and light. We're drawn to it all in nature, so why do we so often ignore it in our own physical spaces? But more importantly, why are Christians called "Children of Light", and are we living up to that name? Let today's episode be an encouragement to you to SHINE, as a radiant child...

The Delight and Danger of More
What do apple orchards, berry farms, and flower fields have in common with candy stores, toy stores, and IKEA? Why do kids always choose the treat with sprinkles? Why does confetti make people smile, as it cascades through the air? Why does time spent in a park with a high density of plant and bird life lead to greater wellbeing? The answer to all of these questions lies in the idea of abundance. Today, I explore this topic to better understand the joyful delight of abundance. However, ...

How Feasts, Festivals, and Freudenfreude Invite You to Celebrate
In this episode, we explore the way celebration is a participatory form of joy that invites us into a deeper, more connected way of living. Through stories that span cultures and language barriers, design aesthetics that are invitational, biblical mandates to pause for a party, and psychological insights into how joy shared is joy multiplied, you'll discover how intentional celebration can draw you closer to community and to God. Whether you're in a season of victory or you're wai...

Chasing Wonder: The Joy of What We Can’t Explain
What if not having all the answers is part of the journey? In this episode, we explore the joy of wonder — the kind that keeps us curious, open, and alive to the invisible work of God in and around us. From awe-inspiring moments in nature to the quiet mysteries of faith, we’ll talk about why chasing wonder isn’t about escaping reality, but rather leaning deeper into it knowing a bigger picture is at play. And also knowing spiritual forces we cannot see are at play too. Join me as ...

Reset Your Joy Meter with Surprise
Have you ever been caught off guard by something unexpectedly beautiful or delightful? In this episode, we explore the joy of surprise — the kind that shows up in whimsy, contrast, and those little moments that make us smile when we least expect it. I'll also dive into how God often works through the unexpected, surprising us with His plans, timing, and grace. These divine detours may not always make sense at first, but they often lead to the deepest joy. Join me as we reflect on ...

Permission to Play & Freedom to Laugh
Y'all, stop being so serious!! A Spirit-filled life should be a playful life, and I'm gonna tell you why. Today, we kick off a 10-week series inspired by the "aesthetics of joy" identified in Ingrid Fetell Lee's book "Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness". Each week, I'm going to focus on one particular aesthetic, and this episode is all about PLAY. How could a design or an object be playful? How is creation playful? And how do aestheti...

Change Your Mental Game with Gratitude
What if gratitude isn’t just a nice idea, but rather a life-shifting, heart-healing, brain-rewiring practice? In this episode, I'm talking about how thankfulness reshaped my mindset and softened my heart (and continues too!) and how it could impact yours. We'll walk through the story of the 10 lepers in Luke 17 and pause on the 1 who returned to say thank you (even though all 10 were healed). We’ll also explore the science behind gratitude: how it can literally rewire our brains, reduce stres...

By the end of this episode, I hope you feel empowered to write a new narrative in your life — one not marked by cycles of pain and bitterness. Through illustration and metaphor, I'm going to give you some practical tools to try in your own life. These tools have been used in the Stanford Forgiveness Pr...

The Psychology and Theology of Forgiveness (Part 1)
What if the key to more peace and joy isn’t doing more… but rather letting go? Letting go of hurt. Letting go of grudges. Letting go of unforgiveness. In this episode, we’re diving into what science says about the power of forgiveness — including fascinating research on how it impacts your mental and physical health. I’ll help you identify whether or not you have a ‘grievance story’ – a term created by Dr. Fred Luskin, author of “Forgive for Good”. Then we’ll shift gears and look at wha...
