The God Who Sees Me
US VS THAT: Wrestling With Infertility, Together

This week, I sit down with my husband, Corey, to share the tender and vulnerable story of our ongoing journey with infertility. It’s been a walk marked by deep longing, stretching, and heartbreak—and yet, through it all, God has proven Himself faithful.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • The ache of not knowing if your body is “good”

  • The emotional and spiritual weight infertility places on a marriage

  • Learning to stay with each other instead of fixing or fleeing

  • The deep impact of presence—being held instead of hurried

  • Gratitude as a powerful tool to anchor us in truth

  • How God uses the waiting to prepare our hearts, not punish them

  • Surrendering the dream of parenthood to Jesus and trusting Him to hold it tenderly


You’ll hear us reflect on Abraham’s faith in Romans 4, when it says:


“Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
Even when the promise seemed impossible, he trusted the Promiser.

And in the hidden places of waiting, Psalm 139 gives us peace:
“The darkness is not dark to you… you knit me together in my mother’s womb.”
God sees every piece of our story—even the parts that feel lost in the dark.

There’s a line in this episode I whispered through tears:
“If I can’t give this to you, is my love enough?”
And another Corey gently offered:
“The desire of my heart is not to have children, but to hear the Father say, ‘I am well pleased.’”


We hope this conversation reminds you that you are not alone in your wrestle. God isn’t withholding from you—He is preparing you. He sees your ache, and He is near.

You are held. You are loved. And even in this, you are not forsaken.

—

Scriptures to Reflect On
Romans 4:20-22 – “Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God… being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.”
Psalm 139:11-13 – “Even the darkness will not be dark to you… For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.”

The God Who Sees Me
The Compassion of God: A Love That Understands

In this episode, we're reflecting on the incredible compassion of God. Compassion is more than just feeling sorry for someone—it’s a deep, emotional response to their pain, a desire to ease their suffering. And here's the beautiful part: God doesn't just look at us from a distance; He meets us right in the middle of our pain. He understands our suffering because He’s been there. John 3:16 reminds us that God loved the world so much that He sent His Son, and in doing so, He showed us the depth of His compassion. He didn’t just feel sorry for us—He came to heal us.

As we explore the difference between mercy and compassion, we see that while mercy is about forgiveness, compassion goes deeper. It's about feeling someone else’s pain, connecting with them in their suffering, and acting to help. God, in His great mercy, doesn't hold our sins against us, but in His compassion, He walks alongside us in our hurt.

We also reflect on how Jesus was fully God and fully man. He lived through the same emotions, the same struggles, and the same pains that we do. He wasn’t just a divine figure, but someone who breathed, felt, and experienced the world as we do. He knows what it’s like to be human, to feel helpless, and He used His life to show us what compassion looks like. He had a deep desire to alleviate our pain because He understood what it meant to be in need.

When we think about being like sheep—running in circles, lying down, or jumping around in confusion—we realize that God sees us, even in our wandering. He understands the ways we seek, search, and long for Him. We don’t have to have it all together to experience His compassion. He knows our hearts, and He responds with mercy and love, not judgment.

There’s a powerful lesson in surrendering control to Him. So often, we try to manage everything ourselves, thinking that if we hold the reins, we can avoid pain or failure. But in those moments, we’re missing out on the deep compassion He has to offer. When we let go, trusting that He’s in control, we start to experience the peace and healing that only He can provide.

And really, what would we do without His compassion? I often think about that. God understands our suffering because He’s experienced it Himself. His compassion isn’t just a comforting idea—it’s something that actively changes our lives. Without it, where would we be? How would we make it through the tough moments, the brokenness, and the pain of life?

In this episode, we’re reminded that God’s compassion is the foundation of our hope. He sees us, He knows us, and He loves us deeply. His heart breaks with us in our pain, but it also holds us and guides us through it. And as we lean into His compassion, we begin to understand what it means to rest in His mercy and trust in His care for us.

Scripture References:

  • John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son..."

  • Psalm 86:15: "But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness..."

  • Philippians 1:21: "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."

Reflection Questions:

  1. Can you think of a moment when you’ve felt God’s compassion in your life?

  2. How can you allow God's compassion to shape the way you show love to others?

  3. Where in your life do you need to let go of control and trust God more fully?

    But this episode isn’t about guilt—it’s about healing. Sin is like an injury, and Jesus is the Great Physician. He doesn’t leave us bleeding out. Instead, He diagnoses the problem and leads us into transformation. Using the Notice, Name, Nurture, Need method, we’ll walk through how to move from being stuck in sin to walking in freedom.

    ✔ How sin distorts your thinking and impacts your relationships
    ✔ The subconscious lies behind each deadly sin
    ✔ Practical ways to recognize and uproot sin in your life
    ✔ Why God’s peace is stronger than your struggle
    ✔ How to move toward healing through the Notice, Name, Nurture, Need method


    Sin distorts. But God’s peace can overwhelm and flood us—if we’re brave enough to face what’s really happening beneath the surface.

    Hit play and invite the Lord into this with you. Healing starts now.

    The God Who Sees Me
    Breaking Free: Renewing Your Mind & Living Counter-Culturally

    Have you ever felt like you just don’t fit in? Like you're an outsider, going against the grain, pushing back against the patterns of this world? Maybe you’ve even felt chained down by your own thoughts, weighed down by insecurity, or burdened by expectations that were never yours to carry.


    Romans 12:2 tells us: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." And yet, everywhere we turn, we see a world trying to shape us into its mold—one of comfort, complacency, and compromise.


    But Jesus didn’t conform. He flipped tables. He challenged religious norms. He loved radically. He served when others wanted to be served. He was misunderstood, and if we follow Him, we will be too. But is it worth it? Is it worth the risk, the loss, the discomfort?


    • Is it worth it to know Jesus more?
    • Is it worth it to experience His peace?
    • Is it worth it to be transformed by His truth?


    In this episode, we’ll dive deep into:
    -How the world tries to shape our thinking—and how to resist it
    -What it actually means to renew your mind daily
    -The cost of living counter-culturally and why it’s 100% worth it
    -Practical ways to break free from destructive thought patterns


    You weren’t meant to fit in—you were made to set apart.

    The God Who Sees Me
    Refined & Realigned: Surrendering to God's Greater Story

    In this weeks episode, we dive deep into the process of refinement and realignment—how God strengthens, dusts off, and calls us into greater responsibility. If you’ve ever wrestled with resistance, struggled to trust God’s higher ways, or found yourself stuck in old thought patterns, this conversation is for you.

    We looked at:

    • The painful yet necessary process of spiritual refinement
    • Why we resist responsibility and taking care of ourselves
    • Wrestling with healing, cleansing, and stepping into our God-given identity
    • How Jesus himself wrestled with surrender—and what that means for us
    • A practical 4-step process to replace lies with biblical truth (applicable and useful!)

    Through personal reflection, biblical insights, and an opportunity for honesty, we’ll uncover how God’s refining fire is not punishment—it’s preparation. If you’re longing to walk in true freedom and align your identity with what God says about you, grab a journal and join the conversation.

    Scriptures: Matthew 6:25-34, Romans 12:2, Isaiah 55:8-9

    The God Who Sees Me
    Mind, Body, Soul: A Call to Serve God with Every Part of You

    In this episode, we’re diving into a powerful challenge: Are we truly serving God with every part of who we are—mind, body, and soul?


    Loving God isn’t just about what we say or feel; it’s about how we live—how we choose to honor Him with our thoughts, our actions, and our very bodies. We’ll explore what it means to live in wholeness and holiness, serving God fully in every area of our lives.


    Key Takeaways:

    • How can we align our thoughts with God’s will and truth?
    • What does it mean to honor God with our bodies, knowing they are temples of the Holy Spirit?
    • Are we living with integrity, making sure our faith is reflected in how we live?
    • Faith is not just about belief—it’s about active obedience in every aspect of our lives.


    As we walk this journey of sanctification, it’s important to remember: we’re in this together. My prayer is that this episode encourages you to serve God with your whole self, finding peace and purpose in every step.


    Questions to Reflect On:

    • Are my thoughts serving God today?
    • How am I honoring God with my body?
    • Am I living out my faith with integrity in all areas of my life?


    I pray that this episode empowers you to embrace a life of wholeness and holiness, serving God with every part of who you are.

    The God Who Sees Me
    Embrace God's Refining Work—Letting Go of a Victim Mentality

    A few weeks ago, my husband Corey joined me on the podcast to discuss biblical marriage and what it truly means to put God at the center of our relationship.


    I want to start by being honest. Before Jesus truly took hold of my heart, I blamed my husband for every negative thing in my life—our struggles, our marriage, everything. But through God’s grace, he encouraged me to take radical accountability for my actions, leading me through a powerful journey of sanctification.


    Just a few weeks ago, he said to me, “You are pure before me, but you are not healed.”


    I know God loves me and deeply cares about our healing. That’s why we turn to scripture, like in 1 Thessalonians 4:3, which reminds us: "It is God’s will that you be sanctified."


    God had plans for my process of sanctification—plans for my purity, my transformation.


    Sanctification: The process of becoming more like Christ, set apart for His purpose.


    It is God's will that I walk through this transformation, and if that’s His will for me, it’s His will for YOU, too.


    So, where are you in your own process of sanctification?


    (On a scale from "I don’t know what that means" to "I’m in this process, but it’s daunting and I don’t feel like I’m getting anywhere.")


    Know this: Jesus will draw you closer to Him, and our convictions will guide us in His Way. My prayer is that you embrace the process of sanctification as a road to your continued growth and that you see him in every single step.

    TEEN TALKS: Navigating Independence - Why Teens Hold Back and How Parents Can Respond

    Tessa joins us again with week with another episode from our TEEN TALKS series, where we interview teenagers to talk about their faith and the ways the Lord is growing them. Not only do we get to hear their perspective but we learn alongside of them. 


    A few weeks back, we were having a conversation where she mentioned this idea to me about “kids parenting themselves” and I asked if we could discuss this in greater depth. I was anxious and curious to learn more about her perspective and this episode delivers. It was very insightful and if you have a teenager and/or are struggling with a child who is desiring for independence or is isolating, I would highly recommend this episode. Send it to a friend that you know might be struggling with this. Tessa did her research and offered us wonderful insight.


    _______________________________________


    We asked, “Why can teens not be themselves around parents?”


    This is a very common characteristic for teens and she shares questions that sometimes come off as judgment like, 


    “Why don’t you want to talk to me?”

    “Why didn’t you tell me about _________?”

    “I didn’t know that about you….”


    These questions are often parents seeking emotional validation from their kids, “I need you to need me” and in that create an environment of pressure and the desires to be needed. Teens are feeling this as pressure and judgement.


    Tessa offers us a gentle reminder, “This is my mom/dads first time at life, too” which creates a lot of space for patience and understanding. She asked a few of her friends for their opinion and this one stopped us both,


    “Teens are in a phase of figuring out who we are and creating our own identity. Holding back from parents can be a means of setting boundaries and independence, it is not necessarily about not wanting anything to do with them but more about our own discovery.”


    Tessa encourages us to look at Exodus 20:12, “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.”


    If it is so valued by God that he would give a reward for it, it must be important to honor your parents. But, why?

    God trusts that parents will raise kids in a godly and biblical way, and the way that we honor our earthly parents often reflects how we will honor our heavenly father. 


    TEENS: God made your parents exactly who you needed them to be….grace tells me that my mom and dad were both made in the image of God, I get to choose to see them in this same way. How are my actions, attitudes, and behaviors impacting my relationship with them?

    Tessa leaves us with this very hard, but thought provoking question, “How would your attitude and treatment of the Lord be, of our Heavenly Father, if it reflected how you treat your parents?”


    _______________________________________


    CONCEPTS: Sibling placement, maturing too quickly, wanting independence, self-isolation, quality time, the cell-phone safety net, awkwardness of teens,  conflict resolution, big attitudes, a relational God, scripture as a training tool, when we lose our spark, lean into the little things, asking parents, “How did you handle ________?”

    US VS THAT: Putting Christ at the Center of Your Marriage

    Adam and Eve andthe deceptive nature and blame game in the garden. Corey and Shauna jump in this week for another “US VS THAT” episode focused on the concept of biblical marriage and how it relates to each of them as individuals. We take a look at the relationships we see in Genesis 3 and how both Adam and Eve play a role in the fall, and how they've seen this impact their marriage and life.


    What does it mean to have a biblical marriage? Is it cut and dry? 


    We discuss big questions and talk about how conflict in our marriage felt like an opportunity for connection, and that we were sometimes fighting just to feel. We share our unique feelings, wants, and needs, and how scripture has challenged us to try onAgape Love, sacrificial love, like Jesus does so plainly throughout his ministry. 


    Like Nehemiah, we each have our own role on the wall and in our marriage. Our shared heart for unity and oneness brings greater power and clarity to our unique and individual parts, but our eyes remain locked on Jesus with each step. 


    Biblical Marriage, the 50/50 rule, blame cycle, feeling misunderstood, going around the same mountain, porcupine mode, imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and SO much more. This episode is jam-packed.

    Israel, Those That Wrestle With God
    Did you know that the definition of Israel means, “those that wrestle with God?” Does that change the way we read and interpret the word, if we are willing to see ourselves as his children that are wrestling with him? We take a look at a verse from Isaiah 44 that speaks to “taking the name of Israel.” What would happen if we decided to take on this identity, allowing ourselves the new label of “child of God” and “one who is wrestling with God?”Join weekly for encouragement as we shed light on the words of our Father, as you remember that HE is the God That Sees You, and He is the God That Sees Me, too. New episodes out weekly on Wednesdays, connect with me on social media to be encouraged on your faith walk throughout the week, and share with another christian who could use some deep healing to their heart. Thank you Jesus for the opportunity to serve you in this way, in you we are blessed. In it with you,Shauna@shaunasimply | @wearesimplymade

    "Let No One Despise You For Your Youth"
    1 Timothy 4:12 tells us, “Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.” This has been a life verse for me and is a pillar to the Kingdom perspective God is building up in front of us. With each new day, it seems to get a little darker out there but a little brighter within the walk of following Jesus. How can that be?Perhaps this contrast is there to help us choose to walk in the ways of everlasting with each decision and choice that we make. His goodness is so tangible and it makes the desire for purity that much stronger. Instead of living in mixture, we must choose who we will serve this day.When I look at these young people, I often see the challenges I was facing as a young teen, afraid to navigate really difficult emotions while being vulnerable with people that I love. Witnessing suicide, divorce, sexual immorality, physical and mental abuse. It plagued my eyes and jaded my perspective of the world. God has been burdening me heavily with the hearts of young people, and the mental torment they are experiencing on all sides. With technology, being locked in our homes, and lacking human connection, it has become even louder out there, and more difficult for them to face. They witnessed the cracks in the foundation, while they experienced the chains that came with the name of religion. They are far from Jesus, without knowing it. The transformational love of Christ has been missing in the Church as a whole, and our younger generations are feeling that ache. What can we do? Don’t overlook them. Don’t throw stones about screen use, I would challenge you instead to take personal ownership and responsibility for the time spent on a screen. If you are afraid they are missing it, where are you “missing it?” (life, I mean). Pray! Get on your face and PRAY for them, for their eyes to be opened, to see his goodness, to be healed, to be radically changed, to call out the lies, and SPEAK LIFE OVER THEM. He is our answer, it is His presence we desperately seek.Holy Spirit, would you come??___________________Join weekly for encouragement as we shed life on the words of our Father, as you remember that He is the God that Sees You, and He is the God that Sees Me, too.  New episodes are out weekly on Wednesdays, connect with me on social media to be encouraged on your faith walk throughout the week, and share with another Christian who could use some deep healing to their heart.

    The God Who Sees Me
    Sermon: Reaching The Lost (Willerup Church)

    A few weeks ago I had the privilege of sharing a sermon titled “Seeking The Lost” with our local congregation. Ever since I was a little girl I dreamt of being a pastor (or an usher), and was beyond blessed with this beautiful and humbling opportunity.


    The preparation period was very different from my typical Wednesday message both for the podcast and our youth program. This stretched me in many ways, and the Lord worked on my heart preparing me and loving me through it all. 


    I was shocked to see most of our high school students show up to church and have many friends and family with us in person and online. I felt loved, cared for, and prepared to share what Jesus asked me. It was if the pain had prepared to share this exact message, and the weight of it still weighs heavy on me.


    Not only do I believe this is a message directly from God’s heart, but because I grew up in the pews, this message speaks to an even greater need for the continual growth and reformation of the church as a corporate and spiritual body.


    My prayer is that this message is not directly addressed to my local congregation but that, on a global scale, we see a need to reach the lost where they are, not where we want them to be, and not with judgment but with “our hand stretched out still.”

    TEEN TALKS: Meet Elizabeth

    A monthly series from the God Who Sees Me Podcast, “Teen Talks”  inspired by the Gen-Z generation of young adults walking boldly and in great faith as the Holy Spirit moves in their hearts, minds, and spirits. 


    Meet my friend Elizabeth, a college sophomore, who recently came home from a mission trip to Cuba, where she learned to evangelize and share the gospel with those thirsty for it. They came not only with the gift of salvation but used a water-filtration system to share the full truth of our sinful nature, desperate for purity with Jesus. 

    During this week’s podcast episode, we talked about how the Lord has been using her faith to lead and guide her into a deeper relationship with him and her family through their sibling bible study. Elizabeth tells us about the importance of prioritizing Christian fellowship in her first year at college and how she bravely shares her faith by keeping Jesus at the center of everything she does. We talked about age limits on baptism, her YOLO perspective on sharing the gospel, overcoming the need to be popular, and how selfish it is to keep Jesus away from those who need him. This was a wild adventure and we learned a lot! Even how a simple carnation to someone at Walmart can plant a seed that the Lord can use.


    My prayer for you is that this episode encourages you to see your faith through a new lens and that we continue to look to him as the central focus in our lives.

    The God Who Sees Me
    Taking Radical Accountability, A Life of Repentence

    Repentance, the big R-word, a not-so-popular topic of conversation, even amongst believers, but as sons and daughters, it is important that we talk about what it means to walk a life of true repentance and use conviction to draw us nearer to the Lord, instead of further away. We must learn to take radical accountability for our wrong-doing and see ourselves in the light that Christ has for us. 


    In this week’s episode, I challenge you to get really honest with yourself, and with God about the life that you are living and the choices you are making. 


    We talk about breaking free from a victim mindset and what it might look like and sound like in your world. We look at the commandments given on Mount Sinai and seek greater truths about the character of God revealed throughout the scriptures. 

    We are left with a poem in the book of Jonah that reminds us of the compassion the Lord has, as he continually relents and remembers his grace for us. 


    My prayer is that this episode draws us nearer to Jesus, as we remember his heart for our growth.

    The God Who Sees Me
    US VS THAT: The Struggle for Belonging - Generational Gaps and the Church’s Role

    US VS THAT: Be The Body


    My husband Corey joins us for season two in our monthly series, “US VS THAT” where we share two differing perspectives that have allowed us both to grow in big ways over the years. 


    A conversation after studying the book of Ecclesiastes sparked this episode, where we discuss many things we are noticing in “the body” of the church. We share a variety of conversations we’d had with some of our young students (gen-z), a concern for the lack of millennials in the pews on Sunday, and the continued separation amongst the generations causing continual division and other walls (unintentionally). 


    We address big emotions and feelings like inadequacy, shame, and belonging, and how we continue to hear things like, 


    “I grew up in the church but….”


    Many have walked away and rejected God, but it is our belief that the church should be a place for people to find rest and belonging once again. 


    Ecclesiastes 2:12 asks us a great question, “What more can the King’s successor do than what has already been done?” 


    Jesus has already made the way and opened the door for us to embrace his kingdom and purposes. We are in a spiritual battle and need to root out the lies before they are embedded so deeply that it is even more difficult to embrace change.


    The process of sanctification is difficult and messy. The war is here and it is spiritual, it is attacking our kids and everybody, whether you believe it or not. 


    We are witnessing the way that Jesus is radically reaching the hearts of young people, as they are audibly hearing from him and are encountering the spirit in a way that is transforming them in deep ways.


    Our prayer is that this episode brings conviction and encouragement. That we remember that Jesus doesn’t NEED US, but wants us to partner with him in bringing forth his Kingdom purposes.

    The God Who Sees Me
    Edifying The Church (Pt3) with Hannah James

    Join us for part three and the final clip from my interview with Hannah James, a strong woman of the faith, with beautiful wisdom, insight, and revelations that will help us all find comfort and accountability in walking closely with the Lord. 


    “The corporate church is a little ill and wounded right now, and we are praying for her to heal.”


    Doesn’t the Lord promise that he will come back for a spotless bride? What exactly does this mean? In this final clip, we talk about how both of us in different seasons walked away as we believed that we were written off, “I was already worthless, so what was the point??”


    We don’t always hear the toxic nature of beliefs and thoughts like this, that are so counterintuitive to who scriptures tell us that he is and the way that he loves us, so. 


    “He loves us because he loves us” - Shauna recalls a pastor praying this over her. We can’t do anything to not get it. We can’t earn his love, he already gave it to us. His love for us never changes. 


    We must learn to invite Jesus into our everyday moments, because he knows our exact heart in each of them, When we do, we have clearer and more consistent opportunities for obedience, not just in the big things but in the seemingly minuscule things. 


    Like doom-scrolling, shopping, moments of double-mindedness, wrestling in the spirit and truth, honoring him in each moment, etc. 


    He is the same, we are different and we change, but he doesn’t so we can continue to trust him in each moment. 


    We also discuss the power of healing that starts on the individual level, and if we continue to seek the gifting more than we seek him then our identity is found in what we can do for HIM, and not what he wants to do IN US. Our gifting is a responsibility to edify the church. 


    If you think you have done things that have counted you completely out, “I’m not deserving, I am not worth it.”


    In the name of Jesus, our Savior and our Lord, who came in the flesh and resurrected us, we break that off of you NOW. 


    We proclaim that we are the children of God that creation has been waiting for.

    Part 2 With Hannah James

    Take a listen to part 2 of my interview with my friend and sister in the faith, Hannah James.


    In this week’s episode, we talked about how the Lord promises,“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.” John 4:23


    This episode was jam-packed with many different viewpoints and perspectives. We talked about the power of a name, the deep ways that Jesus loves us, the staying power of grace, and how the giftings are not always received by the world. 


    We asked questions like, 

    “Jesus, do you love me?” 

    “When do we enter into resurrected life?” 

    “How do we put our phone down?”

    “What will the fullness of love be like?”


    and laughed, talked about the challenges of social media, and continued to give glory, honor, and praise to our king!


    Take a listen!

    Starting From Scratch With Hannah James

    Starting from scratch with Hannah James


    My friend and sister in the faith, Hannah James, joins us for this week’s episode (part 1 of 3). A beautiful woman of God, full of love, knowledge, and experience of walking with Jesus in various stages of her faith. She shares with us about her early stages and how he helped her start over from scratch. Through continued obedience, Jesus gave her a gift and she shares about the first time she used the gift at the capital here in Wisconsin. 


    The Lord said to her,“You don’t like your life right now,”

    She said,“You are right Lord, I don’t.”

    He smiled,“You should give it to me.”


    Take a listen to part 1 of three, and stay tuned for more of this incredible story!

    The God Who Sees Me
    TEEN TALKS | Meet Alyssa

    "Teen Talks" is a testament to the inspiring faith and courage of the Gen-Z generation. Guided and fueled by the Holy Spirit, these young adults are walking boldly and living out their faith with great conviction. Their hearts, minds, and spirits are moved by the Holy Spirit, empowering them to achieve amazing things without looking to the ways of the world. It's truly inspiring to witness their unwavering faith and steadfast commitment to living a life that glorifies God.


    “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12


    Meet my friend Alyssa who has such a soft and gentle spirit, she challenged us with a few questions during this weeks episode that I believe are very useful for many of us, no matter where we are on our faith walk. She asks, “Is there a difference between your life getting easier and your life getting better?” As I interviewed Alyssa she talks about how walking with Jesus isn’t necessarily easier, but its better because we have tools to cope with the fact that it is not easier. “The journey is not better than the destination.”


    Alyssa shares one of her favorite verses from John 15:18, “if the world hates you, be aware that it hated me before it hated you.” 


    “The worlds hatred,” she says, “is about knowing that you do not live for the world, you live for God. You are just passing through to get to something eternal.”


    This is not just a podcast for teens, it’s for adults who are wanting to better understand the hearts, minds, and challenges of today’s youth. I pray this episode move you.

    Oh, How He Loves Us So

    Oh, How He Loves Us So.


    A few days ago, the Lord told me while we journaled together that my“peace and joy are of the utmost importance to him.” He wanted me to experience these gifts andthe fruits of his spirit. 


    I felt so loved in that moment.It was important to him that I was able to experience both peace and joy in my life. 


    On this week’s episode, we take a look at a few verses from the message translation in Isaiah 44 and 45. There was a line that stopped me in my tracks. 


    “Come back to me, come back. I’ve redeemed you.”


    Would we turn back from our ways? Would we learn to seek him? Would we be brave enough to stop going at it in our own way??


    I see the Lord simply calling his children home to him. He doesn’t need us but he wants us. 


    His love for us is so deep, pure, life-changing and transformational. 


    It is already yours, would you grab hold of it and seek him fully?
