Sometimes freedom makes us casual with the very blessings we asked God for. This episode is about recognizing where we’ve stopped being intentional, not out of rebellion, but because life feels easier than it used to. We talk about pairing freedom with stewardship, not in a heavy way, but as a reminder that blessings still need tending and attention. We're chatting about: how feeling “fine” can lead to sloppy choices how comfort can make us neglect what matters a fresh, simple view of stewardship in everyday life If this podcast touched, you SHARE IT!

You keep asking God to multiply what you have...your time, your energy, your money. What if the change you’ve been praying for can’t happen while you’re still holding on? This episode will challenge how you think about “enough.” Because in the Kingdom, multiplication doesn’t start with getting more, it starts with surrender. If you’ve been waiting on God to move, maybe He’s waiting on you to let go! We'll talk about:  Why God can’t multiply what you’re still holding onto. How scarcity often reveals the place He’s asking you to sow. What it looks like to give your “fishes and loaves” in real life, even when it doesn’t make sense.

If you’ve been feeling heavy lately, like joy takes too much effort and everything feels harder than it should be...you’re not alone.

Sometimes the things that look the most spiritual are the ones that trip us up. In this episode, I’m talking about quiet time. You know, that carved-out 30 minutes where we read our Bible, pray, light a candle, and try to connect with God. It’s beautiful. It’s life-giving. BUT… it can also become a box we check. A straightjacket we can't get out of. A guilt trip when we miss it. Let’s talk about: Why early mornings aren’t holier (and when my quiet time actually works) How to read the Bible for a RHEMA word, not just words on a page What to do when your quiet time feels dry or empty The 3 real dangers of over-romanticizing quiet time This is a cozy, real, hoodie-on kind of chat.
