In this episode, we dive into Philippians 4 and the practice of thankfulness — not just when life is good, but especially when we’re walking through the valley. Scripture tells us to rejoice, to pray, and to give thanks in every situation. That’s not because the circumstance is easy… but because God is faithful. Thankfulness isn’t a feeling — it’s a spiritual discipline that shifts our focus from the problem to the Presence of God. It pulls our eyes off what’s overwhelming us and places them back on the One who holds us steady. Today we talk about what it means to practice gratitude in real life, in real time, right in the middle of the struggle… and how gratitude becomes a weapon against anxiety, fear, and discouragement. Let’s learn how to choose thankfulness — even in the valley — because God is still good, God is still near, and God is still worthy of praise.

In this episode of our Transformation Series, we dive into the words of Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount — “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.” Are we truly pursuing Jesus the way He calls us to? 💭We’ll explore what it means to live with a heart that continually asks, seeks, and knocks — not out of striving, but out of desire to know Him more deeply. Featuring the stories of Abraham and Peter, we’ll look at how their pursuit of God — through faith, obedience, and surrender — still speaks to us today. This is an invitation to press in, to pursue, and to practice the way of Jesus in the everyday moments of life. 🌿 🎧 Listen now on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. #InJesusNamePodcast #PracticingTheWay #AskSeekKnock #FaithJourney #SermonOnTheMount #ChristianPodcast #WalkWithJesus #Transformation #JesusChangesEverything

This episode is personal. Today, I’m sharing about the battlefield in our minds — the place where the enemy loves to plant doubt, fear, and lies that keep us from truly knowing God. We are looking at 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 in the NLT. Dive into God's word and allow Him to transform your mind.  Every stronghold we allow the enemy to build is one more wall between us and deeper intimacy with our Creator. But through Jesus, we have the power to tear those walls down. 🕊️ * "We use divine weapons to defeat strongholds, that keep us from knowing God, and we demonstrate obedience and authority of our minds in Christ." Join me as we talk about identifying those strongholds, replacing lies with truth, and learning to take every thought captive in obedience to Christ.  #InJesusNamePodcast #FaithJourney #BattlefieldOfYourMind #ChristianPodcast #SpiritualWarfare #RenewYourMind #FreedomInChrist #JesusChangesEverything

Hebrews 11, often called the Hall of Faith, reminds us that the heroes of Scripture didn’t live by what they could see — they lived by what they believed. Their eyes were fixed on heaven, not the world around them. Faith isn’t a feeling that comes and goes; it’s a foundation of truth that we stand on. It’s what carries us when emotions waver and circumstances shift. In this episode, we talk about what it means to walk by faith and live for something greater — trusting the God who always keeps His promises.

Our final episode in the series on hope. Are little choices putting holes in your ship? Are you making the right choices that steer your boat in the right direction? Or are you lost at sea because you've put your hope in something other than Christ? My hope is in the transformation process that occurs when I walk with Jesus daily. My mind is transformed, my decisions are aligned with God's will, I am more obedient to His commands and I look more like Jesus.  In this episode, we’re talking about how God directs our lives like a rudder steers a ship. Ephesians 4:19–22 reminds us to “put off the old self” and be renewed in our minds. God showed me how even the smallest, most ordinary choices can completely change the direction of our lives. Each decision is like a tiny turn of the rudder — and when we surrender those turns to Him, He leads us toward freedom, purpose, and transformation. 🎧 Listen now and be encouraged to let the Holy Spirit guide your daily choices and renew your heart. 👉 Subscribe for weekly encouragement and honest conversations about real faith, real life, and a very real Jesus.

This morning, God gently showed me something I didn’t even realize—I’d been living with a performance-based faith. I was striving to do everything “right,” but missing the simple truth that I just need more of Him. In this episode, I share how God met me in that moment and began transforming my mind and heart. It’s not about doing more for Him, it’s about being with Him. When we shift from performing to abiding, that’s where real transformation begins.

When we live by the law, we live in bondage — always striving but never feeling enough. But when we live in Christ, we step into true freedom. Jesus fulfilled the law so we could walk in grace, not guilt. In this episode, we talk about what it means to stop striving for perfection and start living in the freedom that comes through faith in Jesus. You are no longer a slave to rules, religion, or your past — you are a child of God, covered by His love and led by His Spirit.

Hope is the wind in our sails—it moves us forward when life’s seas get rough. Hope isn’t just wishful thinking; it’s the power of the Holy Spirit at work in us. There’s no secret formula to hearing from God or walking in relationship with Him. It’s all because of Jesus. Through Him, we have access to the Father, we receive the Spirit, and we are given a confident hope that anchors our lives.

Life brings storms—some small, some overwhelming—but every day has its waves. In this episode, we’ll talk about why hope in Christ must be our anchor when the winds of worry, fear, and discouragement rise. Hope isn’t wishful thinking; it’s a steady confidence rooted in God’s promises. Just like an anchor keeps a boat from drifting in rough waters, true hope keeps our faith grounded in truth when life feels unsteady. Join us as we explore how to hold fast to Jesus, the sure and steadfast anchor for our souls, and find stability in the everyday storms.

Hope is more than a passing feeling—it’s a confident belief rooted in truth. In this episode, we’ll talk about what it means to have a right view of God and ourselves in Christ, so that our hope is anchored in His promises rather than shifting emotions. Our faith is like a boat: strong enough to withstand the storms when it’s built on truth, but fragile when riddled with holes of lies and unbelief. If our hope is grounded in anything less than Christ, we’ll be tossed and battered by the waves. Join us as we explore how to strengthen the hull of our faith, seal up the cracks of doubt, and sail with confidence, knowing our hope in Jesus is sure and steadfast.

Did you know that you can be a Christian and still give pieces of yourself over to the enemy? Just because we open our bible and pray, doesn't mean we are walking in freedom. Listen to find out how you can walk in freedom and what it means to no longer believe lies or be stuck in bondage.

A raw and real look into what it was like growing up seeing demons and walking in darkness. My story of hope and why saying In Jesus’ Name is so meaningful to me. Jesus did not die on the cross so that you could be kind of set free. Walk in freedom because Christ has set you free. 

What happens when we don't hear from God? What happens when we feel broken and don't know where to turn? When God is silent, how do we trust that He is for us? In this episode we dive into how to hear from God and what might be holding you back. We look at what it means to walk by faith and not by sight. Faith in God is not about your performance, it's about your position and the condition of your heart. 

In this podcast, we dive into the transformative power of community and the profound impact it has on our relationship with Christ. Life is not meant to be lived alone; as we walk through struggles, joys, and everyday moments, having a close-knit community helps us grow in faith and love. With others, through both vulnerability and encouragement, we can deepen our walk with God. Community is all about the beauty of doing life together, sharing our burdens, and growing closer to God, in Jesus' name.

We've put control, rooted in fear, and self-control, fueled by love, in the boxing ring to see who will stand. If you struggle with control and being overwhelmed, God has a word for you about self-control. Everything we need for peace and contentment is in God's Word. A life in peace is waiting for you in Christ and freedom is at His feet.

How do we know what God wants us to do with our lives and where He wants us to serve? At his feet, in prayer, is where He shows us how to use the gifts He's already given us to serve where we are. 

Do you want that abundant life? You might need to say no to some good things, so that you can say yes to some God things. Learn what is holding you back and how God wants to give you blessings upon blessings.

God chose you since the beginning of the creation of the world. He knew He would save you and He knew He would be drawing you back to Himself. When we draw near to Him, He gives us living water and shows us how much He loves us right where we are. 

Light is a beautiful thing and darkness can be overwhelming. Only by walking with Jesus everyday, in the midst of our circumstances, can we see His light no matter how dark. Hope and light are synonymous with truth, you find them both In Jesus' Name.
