hey homegirlsss. God started reminded me that His love for me is so much bigger than my love for Him. that sounds simple, but it’s something that changed the way i see everything. so many of us have grown up in church believing we have to prove our love for God through effort. through serving, striving, and trying to do everything “right.” but what if the gospel was never about how much you love God, and instead about how deeply He loves you? 💭 in this episode, we talk about: why God’s love...

hey homegirls, it’s been a while 🥹 today’s episode is just a bit of a catch up because it's been a HOT minute. but it's also a reminder that when life feels heavy, God is still working. the past few months have been ghettoooo. burnout, busyness, and just feeling pulled in every direction. but through it all, God’s been teaching me about purpose, patience, and obedience in the midst of chaos. 💭 in this episode, we talk about: feeling like your passion has slipped awaynavigating burnout and spi...

God said "just start somewhere."

hey homegirlssss. i have been AWOL but God is faithful. in today’s episode, i wanted to talk about the chrsitians who are overwhelmed, tired, maybe sometimes inconsistent with the word and feeling guilty. ... basically, all of us at some point. i’ve been in a season where everything has felt CRAZY (hence the absence): wedding planning, work, travelling… and somewhere in the middle of all of that, my time with God started to look different. i used to feel like i needed to "get back"...

the gospel is not about you.

this might be a hard pill to swallow but THE GOSPEL IS NOT ABOUT YOU. we hear the word gospel all the time. we know that Jesus died for us, we know that we are saved through Him. but do we really know the gospel? in this episode, i reflect on my five-year journey as a christian and how the most transformational thing i’ve learned is that the gospel is not about me. i spent so much time striving to be perfect, thinking i had to earn my place with God, but that completely misses the point of w...

stop treating God like your genie.

how often do you go to God because you want Him - not because you want something from Him?in this episode, i unpack how we can fall into the trap of treating God like a genie: someone to grant our wishes rather than worship as our holy, sovereign Father. i share my own story of idolising my desires and seeing God as a means to an end - and how that mindset left me spiritually stagnant.but here’s the truth: God loves us too much to give us everything we ask for. His blessings are in accor...

i've lost my fire for God.

losing your fire for God is probably one of the most frustrated and destructive feelings to feel as a beliver. it's something we all struggle with as a believer at some point. but i wanna go into not just that feeling but why chasing that “on fire” feeling can lead to guilt or self-righteousness, and how we can reframe our relationship with God to grow deeper, more sustainable faith. i share my personal experience of losing that fire, chasing emotional highs in my faith, and how God has show...

why are you so comfortable not knowing your Bible?

we are slowly becoming a generation where a “good christian” is about attending church, singing worship songs, and being kind to others. and all of these things are good... but where is the Bible in this?how often are we actually in the word of God? how often do we have quiet time? how often do we make time to study deeply, outside of knowing the well-known verses?in this episode, i go into the importance of knowing scripture - not just to say you’ve read it - but to allow it to shape your li...

how to forgive yourself when God already has.

so many of us believe in the power of God’s forgiveness but still hold on to shame, guilt, and condemnation. but that's a life of bondage because we can't truly recognise the gravity of Christ’s sacrifice and the freedom we now have in Him. what i talk about: ✨ how unforgiveness of self is a rejection of God’s sovereignty ✨ the difference between conviction and condemnation (and how the enemy uses guilt to keep us trapped) ✨ the Old Testament vs. the new covenant of grace through Jesus ✨ w...

your main character syndrome is at war with God.

main character syndrome... we’ve all been there. the world tells us to put ourselves first, chase our truth, and make everything about us. but let’s be real: when we make ourselves the centre of the universe, we’re at war with God.in this episode, i get real about how self-glorification (aka main character syndrome) directly opposes God’s purpose for our lives. i unpack why striving for control, validation, and self-exaltation doesn’t lead to freedom but to bondage.what i talk about:✨ what ma...

americans - your divide about politics is not biblical.

homegirls... this week i am hurt. this episode dives into a topic that’s been weighing on my heart and i feel like it would be wrong to ignore: politics. particularly american politics. the recent election has stirred strong opinions - fine. it's opened people's eyes to their opinions - fine. but what it's also done is that it's caused anger and divide within not just the world but the body of Christ. it’s easy to let political preferences create division where there should be ...
