For the Love of MONEY (1 Timothy 6:10)
Sometimes the thing you thought would give you freedom can slowly start running your life... In this episode, I’m being really honest about the ways I accidentally let my business, ambition, money, and irrational ideas of success start running me instead of allowing God to lead me. If your work, your business, or your desire for “more” has started burning you out, costing you your peace, or turnin
God Gave You a Voice (Jeremiah 1:9)
I’m recording this one from a messy hotel room in Anaheim, the night before speaking to 5,000 people -- and, YES, I still get scared!! In this episode, I’m sharing the Bible verses I read when the self-doubt gets loud, especially before a big conversation or a presentation. If you need a little extra something to give you the confidence to say THE thing, here's a reminder of how God is always
When You Didn't Get the News You Wanted (John 9:3)
This episode is deeply personal and, honestly, I’m still processing it. Over the weekend, I heard about a mother, an unexpected diagnosis, and a choice a woman should never have to make. (It hit particularly close to home, because of the many years I've spent volunteering with families, who know what it's like to get the same news that she did.) My heart is absolutely shattered for her, an
Trusting God Through GRIEF (feat. Jessica Janzen)
In this episode, we're joined by one of my favorite people, Jessica Janzen, who trusted the nudge to talk about how to open up when your world is falling apart, what it was like to get the news that her baby boy was suffering a life-threatening illness, and how she managed to bring the joy during the most heartbreaking season of her whole life. (You're going to want to grab tissues for thi
Raise Your Dating Standards (1 Corinthians 13:11, Proverbs 18:22)
You keep saying you want a man who will lead you, pray with you, and show up for you, especially when things get hard. Yet, you continue to date (and get sad over) the most childish of losers who are nowhere near ready to be a husband. In this encore episode, we answer a DM from Christine, who is actively going through (and failing to get over) a breakup, and he continues to lead her on and send h
Why It's Lonely at the Top (Mark 3:13-14)
Have you ever felt isolated in the pursuit of your dreams? Like nobody else really understands what you’re building, becoming, or being called to be? In this episode, we’re talking about the self-fulfilling trap of feeling “lonely at the top" and the power of finding and calling in the right (and also very imperfect, yet still the best fit for this season) people. Bible Verse: Mark 3 : 13-14
Open Up Your Physical Bible (Psalm 119:105)
It took me 36 years, before I finally started reading out of my actual, physical Bible -- and regularly. I'd go to Church regularly, get a "verse of the day" sent to my inbox, and even had the Bible app on my phone home screen, but there was something about that BIG book that felt overwhelming, intimidating, or some irrational form of "too much" to me. So, if you've eve
When You Feel Like GIVING UP (Galatians 6:9)
If you're feeling SO ready to give up after a long season of rejection, waiting, or disappointment, this episode is for you. Whether it's been a tough job market or even a rough string of bad dates, we’re talking about how to keep going when your confidence feels bruised, your hope feels tired, and nothing seems to be changing. We also go back to the HARDEST prayer to pray, especially when
The "Soft Girl" Era (Psalm 139:14, Proverbs 31)
This is especially for you, if what made you successful was being able to keep up with the boys. You worked like them, built like them, competed against them (and WON), maybe you even started sounding like them (or even dating like them). And now, you're TIRED. Like REALLY tired. And you're ready to rebuild -- for you and, especially for Him. Some call this the "Soft Girl" era, b
Wrestling with God and with Humans (Genesis 32:22-28)
What does it REALLY mean to "wrestle" with God? Someone in the comments challenged the title of this podcast, and I thought it would be a great excuse to reintroduce you to this show and show you exactly why I (or, rather, exactly the Bible verse that) chose this title to make so very sure you understood YOU BELONG HERE and that GOD WILL USE YOU AND BLESS YOU, especially because of those
God Will NEVER Send You a Married Man (Romans 8 : 5-6)
I resisted recording and even posting this one, which probably means we really need to talk about this... In this episode, we’re talking about married men, separated men, undercover situations, work crushes, and the "it's complicated" ways we can convince ourselves that the reddest of flags and the guiltiest of secrets are somehow sent from the Spirit. I feel it in my bones (and also
ANXIOUS? Do THIS Instead (Philippians 4:6)
Have you ever had one of those days, where the anxiety just won't stop and you find yourself worrying about everything you can? It's not fun. (Actually, it really sucks. A LOT.) I'm not going to try to pretend like you can just pray it away, but Ido have an idea for what you can do to be more present with yourself and with God before you reach for your phone and start scrolling. If tha
How Do You Know It's From God? (John 15:4)
Have you ever prayed for God to remove something from your life… and then immediately tried to find, seek, and chase every little sign as proof that maybe you should keep it? In this episode we talk about discernment, and some of the ways we can tell if a branch truly bears the fruit of the Lord.If you liked this episode, you'll also love this one:The Prayer That Works Every Time (God Cuts The
Taking His LAST NAME (Matthew 19:5-6)
Today, we're talking about the WEDDING GRIEF no one warned me about. We're five months away from the biggest day, and I was not expecting to cry as hard as I did during what was supposed to be a beautiful conversation about taking Honey's last name. I could not be more excited, and also (as you'll hear in this episode) I'm still working through it, so pretty please pray for me
When He Won't Fight For You (Ephesians 5:2)
Have you ever found yourself saying, “I just want someone who will fight for me”? Same, girl. I’ve cried those words, prayed those words, and built entire fantasies around the hope that someone would finally wake up, choose me, and become the man I always hoped he could be. In this episode, we talk about what this phrase really means, and why this might be God's way of revealing something even
SUNDAY SCARIES, Doomscrolling, and Normalized Anxiety (Luke 21:34)
This is going up on a Tuesday on purpose -- so that you can look ahead to and prepare for the weekend with the full armor of God. This conversation is about how easily we can become spiritually, emotionally, and physically weighed down by what we consume (social media, TV, news, alcohol, food, work, anxiety, comparison). Time to wake up, take accountability, and fix our attention on God. Bible Ver
God Calls on the UNQUALIFIED (Ecclesiastes 4:12, Genesis 32:28, Numbers 6:22-27)
This episode is meant to serve as reminder that God often calls on the unqualified, you don't have to have it all figured out to get started, and what it really means to WRESTLE with God. There are so many new viewers and listeners joining our community every single day, so I wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself, the moments and mistakes that shaped my faith, and the evolving vision o
When You're the LAST SINGLE FRIEND (Psalm 46:5)
This prayer is especially for you if you're in a season where you're losing hope, your patience is being tested, and mornings are kind of the WORST. (Can't sleep, don't want to get up, struggling to get out of bed.) I share a story of a time when I felt like no one understood the struggle I was going through and the pressure I was under, not even my very best friends. And even then, God was within
FORGIVE What You Can't Forget (Luke 23:34)
This is for you if you're still secretly waiting for an apology and carrying the baggage of a grudge around, not even realizing how much that's weighing you down. In this episode, we talk about the ways in which forgiveness can actually help us to elevate our standards and release the pressure we also accidentally placed on ourselves.

The Best Bible BUSINESS Lesson for Entrepreneurs (John 10:27)
I tried so hard to keep WORK and JESUS separate, not realizing the Bible is truly the best business, marketing, leadership, communication, relationships, life manual of ALL TIME. (And THIS one very well might be my favorite verse that especially comes in handy when I don't know what to say, how to lead, or if I belong.) I could probably spend hours upon hours working through SO many angles of
Know Your Enemy (2 Corinthians 11 : 13-14)
For the longest time, I avoided learning about Satan or even really believing the Devil and his works existed. (It felt silly and even cartoonish to think he was real.) But as I leaned into conversations, learned more about him in the Bible, and especially came across JP Pokluda's book, which I'll link below, I became so much more aware of his schemes and how my own actions might be more p
Choosing JOY No Matter What (Philippians 4:4-5)
THANK YOU FOR 75 EPISODES AND FIVE MILLION VIEWS. This is the episode where we learn to recognize that TRUE JOY is not a reaction to something good, it's recognizing that GOD IS ALWAYS GREAT. And as we mature in our beliefs, it's absolutely possible to have a bad day or a fat day, a heartbreak or a setback, anger or grief, and still see, practice, and create JOY. Bible Verse: Philippians 4
When the ANXIETY Won't Stop (Isaiah 41:10, Philippians 4:4-6)
If you (or someone you love) has been struggling with stress, anxiety and, especially, PANIC, this one is for you. When your insecurities are loud, your body feels burnt out, and you feel like no one understands what it is that you are going through. In this episode, I talk about a season when I felt more disconnected from God than I ever have, and I really wasn't sure if I'd be able to ma
When Your Friends Don't Support Your Business (1 Thessalonians 5:11)
Do you ever feel like your best friends aren't clapping for you? In this episode, we answer a message from Shayna, who is a brand new business owner, who feels like her very best friend isn't supporting her in this latest chapter. We talk about what support can look like (online and especially off), friendship compatibility (which can show up differently in different seasons), and how to c
Intentionally SINGLE feat. AJ Norman
AJ Norman is BACK, and we're talking about some of the ways she and I had to be intentionally (and unintentionally) single to strengthen our relationship with God and ready our hearts for a healthy relationship, with her overcoming divorce and me redefining marriage and partnership as a desire of the spirit, rather than just one of my own flesh. We talk about toxic patterns we had to overcome,
How Your Husband Should Love Your Body (Ephesians 5:28-30)
There was an extra long season in my life, where I really believed I needed to be a certain size (and shape and weight) to be worthy of being loved. It was an irrational and very unrealistic standard of perfection, and I'm honestly still recovering. (Who else can relate?) The Book of Ephesians and this most healthy relationship with Honey (what we affectionately call my fiancé) have completely
Don't Forget to Bring Jesus ( Jeremiah 2:32)
You would never leave the house without your keys or your phone, but we can very easily go hours, days, perhaps even weeks without even thinking about Jesus.

This Will MAKE or BREAK Your Relationship (Matthew 18:19-20)
My friend Aliha popped into the studio today and asked the most wholesome question, "How do you pray with your partner?" (We affectionately refer to this man, my fiancé, on the show as "Honey", in case you're new here.) But, as usual and as friends do, we also touched on misconceptions for what it means to be "equally yoked" and communication red flags that you ma
When You're TOO BUSY for God (Matthew 6:33)
If you are in a season of busyness, this one is for you. You're not taking care of yourself like you know you should, you barely have enough time to sleep, you're juggling everyone and everything and trying to be everywhere and all at once. You're praying for God to show you the way, even though you can't even discern what's immediately in front of you right now. Here's exa
Drinking on Dates ( Psalms 27:1-2)
If the thought of going on a date (or any social situation, for that matter) without alcohol sounds boring, bizarre, or just plain TERRIFYING, then this episode is for you.

When All You Want is Marriage and Motherhood (Genesis 18:13-14)
If you've been telling yourself it's too late -- to be a wife, to be a mom, to pursue whatever calling it is that you believe God put on your heart -- this episode is for you (and was very intentionally uploaded the day after Mother's Day). Not only do we talk about trusting God's timing and His design, but we also touch on the calling of singleness, how we can accidentally idolize
Ready to Give Up? Say THIS Instead. (Ezekiel 37:4)
She had no money, a husband drowning in grief, no friends, three (soon to be four) boys, and a faith she barely understood. Then she stumbled across a Bible verse that taught her how to breathe life into things that look dry, dismal, and dead, especially finances, relationships, and hard seasons.

How to Talk to God (feat. Jacqueline Smith)
Jacqueline grew up thinking Christians were the most judgmental people on the planet and wanted nothing to do with Jesus, but then her boyfriend (now, husband) said one sentence that changed the entire trajectory of her life and she started talking to God about EVERYTHING (and He started talking BACK). In this conversation, we talk about how God breathed life into her marriage (especially in times
Manifesting vs Praying (Mark 11:24)
Technically, manifesting IS in the Bible... (The Lord asks us to pray as if it's already happened and promises to give us immeasurably more than we could ever ask for or imagine)... BUT, somewhere along the way, you replaced "God, I trust You" with "UNIVERSE, I'm calling it in" -- and those are NOT the same conversation. Let's discuss this one AGAIN with this specia
How to Make NEW FRIENDS (Proverbs 18:24)
This is for you if you're ready for some new friends, but -- LET'S BE SO REAL -- solid adult friendships hard to find (or, at least, that's what you're telling yourself). Maybe you're moving to a new city, entering a new era, or just feeling a little alone in your circles, so we talk about making space for new friends, how to start conversations with strangers, and how to BE th
Why God Lets You SUFFER ( Job 2:6-7)
This is especially for you if you're in a season of struggle, suffering, or loss -- maybe it's your job, your relationship, or your sense of self -- and you're wondering what the lesson is, when it'll be over, or if God even sees you right now. (He does, by the way. He ALWAYS does. And he knows exactly what He's doing in this season.) Bible Verse: Job 2 : 6-7 Show Notes:NIV Stu
Waiting for Physical Intimacy ( 1 Corinthians 6:18)
That's right: We're talking about SEX... This is especially for you if your dating patterns keep ending the same way -- too fast, too soon, and you wake up feeling like you gave something away you can't get back. But it's ALSO for those of you who are coupled up or married up and may need a reminder of God's design for physical intimacy, which can accidentally start to feel sup
When You're Self-Sabotaging (James 1:12)
Whenever you find yourself self-sabotaging, procrastinating, or in a toxic loop, this is the one question that wakes me up, snaps me out of it, and gets me to my feet, without fail. Sometimes we take the Good Lord's love for granted, so we need to bring the HEAT to come back to Jesus for good.

What's MISSING in Your Relationships (Ecclesiastes 4:12)
This is especially for you if you've been feeling alone lately.

This episode is going to make you rethink what you look for in the people (your partner and especially you best girl friends) who you want to do life

Do You Want to Get Well? (John 5:6)
You say you want the body, the business, the breakthrough, the balance, the baptism... But, do you REALLY? In this episode, we talk about the challenges (and the grief and the uncertainty) that come with healing, inspired by a recent viral clip from comedian and podcaster Theo Von.

It's Not Good for Man to Be ALONE (Genesis 2:18, Ephesians 5:21-22)

Sometimes God loves you TOO much to give you what you're asking for.

You're NOT His Mom (1 Corinthians 13:11)
You keep saying you want a man who leads, who prays, and who shows up. But you keep second-guessing, overthinking, and wondering where you stand. (Babe, that's not a relationship.) It's time to be done with childish standards and childlike behavior, both from him AND from you. It's not your job to turn the boy into a man.

Do you ever fall into that panic spiral, when one to-do suddenly turns into 10, then you look at the clock and you don't have enough hours in the day, so you beat yourself up about what you wish you would've done differently, or how you should have prepared better, and why you're not further along in life, and so on and so on?
