In a generation filled with noise, pressure, and performance, Jesus is calling us back to the quiet strength of obedience.In this message, “The Oil, The Fire, and the Quiet Strength of Obedience”, Ty Headlee unpacks Matthew 25:1–13 (The Parable of the Ten Virgins) alongside Matthew 24 and Romans 8 to draw a line between cultural Christianity and true intimacy with Jesus.
Key Themes in this message:
Why you can’t borrow oil — intimacy must be cultivated, not copiedThe difference between lamps (public life) and oil (private devotion)How to live by the Spirit, not the flesh (Galatians 5)
Why revival isn’t just an event — it’s a life laid downHow true believers must be ready for the return of Christ
📖 Scriptures covered: Matthew 24, Matthew 25:1–13, Romans 8, Galatians 5, John 15, Psalm 24, Psalm 27, Revelation 3, Romans 12
Don’t trade God’s presence for platforms. Don’t run on empty lamps. Cultivate oil in the secret place.

Welcome to Tips with Ty! In this episode, we’re diving deep into a critical question: Where are you? Not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.Many of us are walking through life suppressing our emotions, believing that strength means silence. But even Jesus... the ultimate example of strength... expressed his emotions, from weeping to righteous anger. So why do we feel the need to hide?
In this raw and powerful conversation, we tackle:
✅ The importance of emotional honesty with God and yourself
✅ How unchecked thoughts shape your reality and spiritual walk
✅ Why emotional suppression leads to cycles of shame and distraction
✅ The biblical truth about renewing your mind and regulating your thoughts
✅ Practical tools for navigating emotions...
whether through prayer, therapy, or deep reflectionGod doesn’t ask where you are because He doesn’t know... He asks because it’s an invitation to self-awareness, healing, and strategy for your next step. This message is for anyone struggling with anxiety, depression, fear, or just feeling lost.🔥

How do we know for sure which side we’re on?🚨 In this episode, we dive deep into:✅ The difference between a sheep and a goat (biblically & spiritually)✅ Why the “GOAT” mentality is dangerous for Christians✅ How self-reliance and pride can separate us from God✅ What it means to truly follow Jesus in a world full of distractions✅ The ONE mindset shift that could change your entire walk with Christ💡 Key Scriptures Mentioned:📖 Matthew 25:31-46 — The separation of the sheep and the goats📖 John 10:27 — “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”📖 Hebrews 12:2 — Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith📖 Ephesians 2:10 — We are God’s masterpiece, created for His purpose🔥 If this episode challenged you, let me know in the comments: Are you living with a sheep mentality or a goat mentality?—🎯 LET’S CONNECT:📲 Instagram & TikTok: @TyHeadlee @TipswTy📲 Podcast on Apple & Spotify: Tips with Ty🚀 Don’t forget to:✅ LIKE this video if it blessed you✅ SUBSCRIBE for more faith-based content✅ SHARE this with a friend who needs to hear this message#FaithPodcast #Christianity #SheepVsGoat #Matthew25 #TipsWithTy #KingdomMindset #FollowingJesus

Welcome to the Tips With Ty podcast! In this episode, “The Cost of Following Jesus: What Are You Willing to Lose?” I dive deep into the challenging yet life-transforming truth of what it truly means to follow Christ. This isn’t about surface-level faith or a feel-good moment—this is about surrendering EVERYTHING to become everything God created you to be.
💡 Key Takeaways:
• The Narrow Path: Following Jesus requires sacrifice and commitment (Mark 10:17-31). What’s sitting on the throne of your heart?
• Abundant Life: True life is found when we lose our lives for the sake of the kingdom (John 10:10).
• The Rich Young Ruler’s Dilemma: What happens when possessions, relationships, or success take God’s place in your life? (Mark 10:21-22).
• Picking Up Your Cross: Laying down toxic thought patterns, addictions, and idols to walk in God’s purpose (Luke 9:23).
• The Reward of Surrender: Jesus promises a hundredfold return in this life and eternal life to come (Matthew 19:27-30).
📖 Scriptures for Further Study:
• Mark 10:17-31 (The Rich Young Ruler)
• Matthew 19:27-30 (The Reward of Following Jesus)
• Philippians 3:7-8 (The Worth of Knowing Christ)
• Galatians 2:20 (Crucified with Christ)
• Romans 12:1-2 (Offer Yourself as a Living Sacrifice)
• John 10:10 (Abundant Life in Christ)
Challenge:
What do you need to surrender today to follow Jesus fully? Whether it’s a mindset, a relationship, or a dream… He’s asking for your “yes.” And the reward? Freedom, peace, joy, and purpose in the overflow.

In this follow-up to the episode two weeks ago titled, “Who Am I?”, we’re diving deeper into the critical truth about your identity in Christ. It’s easy to forget who we are, especially in a world full of distractions and lies from the enemy. But today, we’re getting back to the foundation: who Jesus says we are.
(1st installment - https://youtu.be/AeeSAHbd1EM?si=IMKXMGRl7r2XAaRq)
💡 In this episode, we’ll discuss:
The attack on identity in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 1:26, Genesis 3:5).
The meaning of being created in the likeness of God.
The power of repentance and walking in freedom (Romans 8:29, Ephesians 2:4-10).
Overcoming sin and pressing toward the mark (Philippians 3:12-14).

Sin is meeting a legitimate need in an illegitimate way.
We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ for good works (Ephesians 2:10).
You are not random—God predestined your purpose before you were born (Jeremiah 1:5).
Don’t just hear the Word—be a doer, and walk in the freedom Christ has given you.

In this episode of Tips w/ Ty, I’m sharing one of the most important and personal conversations of my life—the war for our eyes. This isn’t just about lust or pornography. It’s about reclaiming your mind, your relationships, and your spiritual health. If you’ve ever struggled in this area or know someone who has, I want you to know: there’s hope, and freedom is possible.
💡 Here’s what I talk about in this episode:
• How pornography rewires your brain and affects your ability to think clearly and build healthy relationships.
• What the Bible says about lust, with scriptures like Matthew 5:28, Luke 11:34, and Job 31:1.
• How I made a covenant with my eyes and practical steps you can take to break free from addiction.
• Why lust is the enemy’s counterfeit for true intimacy—and how it holds us back from living fully in God’s purpose.
🎙 My Story:
When I was 10 years old, I was exposed to pornography, and it planted a seed that grew into a stronghold in my life for years. It affected my relationships, my thought life, and my spiritual health. But through prayer, accountability, therapy, and the grace of God, I experienced freedom—and I want the same for you.
📖 Key Scriptures I Share:
• Matthew 5:28: “Anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
• Luke 11:34: “Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light.”
• Job 31:1: “I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman.”

Who are you? It’s a question we all ask at some point, and in this episode, I’m tackling the identity crisis head-on. Whether you’re finding your worth in career achievements, accolades, social media followers, or even what others say about you, I’m here to remind you of a greater truth: you are who God says you are.
Join me as I share my personal journey through depression, burnout, and rediscovering my identity as a child of God. From diving into scripture to unpacking strongholds and societal pressures, this conversation is about uncovering your God-given identity and walking in His purpose for your life. If you’ve ever felt lost, uncertain, or overwhelmed by who the world says you should be, this episode is for you.
Let’s reclaim who we are in Christ, confront the lies we’ve believed, and walk boldly in the truth of God’s Word.
Scriptures for Study:
• Jeremiah 1:5
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
• Colossians 3:3
“For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.”
• Ephesians 2:10
“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”
• 1 Peter 2:9
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”
• 2 Corinthians 10:4-5
“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God.”
• Matthew 6:33
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
In this episode of Tips with Ty, I’m talking about The Trap of Influence—the hidden challenges and pressures that come with pursuing influence in today’s culture. Whether you’re a social media influencer, leader in your workplace, or someone impacting your circle, influence is a powerful tool that can shape lives… but it can also trap us if we’re not careful.
I share my personal journey as an influencer, unpacking the pressures of finding validation in likes, followers, and engagement, and I dive into what it means to live for the approval of God instead of people. From insights on how influence impacts mental health to reflections on biblical examples like David and Jesus, this episode is an honest look at the cost of influence—and why chasing impact over applause makes all the difference.
So whether you’re looking to grow in social media, leadership, or just life, tune in to learn about finding true purpose, keeping influence in its proper place, and making an impact that lasts.
Welcome to the first episode of Tips w/ Ty! In this episode, I’m diving deep into my personal testimony of discovering true worth, identity & purpose. From growing up in Omaha, Nebraska, to taking the leap of faith to Los Angeles at 18 years old, and finally landing in Dallas, Married to the love of my life pursuing God's purposes. I share how following God’s voice led me through a journey of freedom from addiction and breaking free from finding my identity in external achievements and accolades.
This episode isn’t just about my story—it’s about confronting the pressure to find validation in accomplishments and learning to prioritize emotional intelligence and mental health & above all becoming who God says YOU are. My prayer is that through sharing my journey, you’ll be encouraged to embrace your own spiritual growth and walk in the purpose God has for you.
If you’re navigating the challenges of self-worth, identity, or finding freedom in your journey, this episode is for you. Let’s grow together!
