Today we're diving into one of the most familiar, and yet most misunderstood, teachings Jesus ever gave: faith the size of a mustard seed. Most of us have heard it so many times that it almost loses its weight. "If you have faith like a mustard seed…" But today we're going to look deeper — deeper into what Jesus was really saying, deeper into the nature of that seed, and deeper into what kind of life it grows into. Because Jesus didn't choose the mustard seed because it was small… He chose it because of what it becomes. If you loved this episode - subscribe, download, review and screenshot and share!

Have you ever felt unseen by God? Like you've been praying, crying out, doing everything you know to do—and heaven feels silent? In Matthew 15, there's a story of a woman who knew exactly what that felt like. She wasn't part of the "in crowd." She didn't have the right background, the right name, or the right connections. But she had something that moved the heart of Jesus—faith that refused to quit. This episode is all about that kind of faith—the kind that crosses lines, breaks through walls, and holds on to God's goodness no matter what. We're talking about the women who refused to let fear, shame, or cultural barriers silence their belief: The woman with the issue of blood who reached out just to touch Jesus' cloak. The Samaritan woman at the well who found truth and identity in the middle of her brokenness. Mary of Bethany who sat at His feet when others said she didn't belong there.   If this episode spoke to you, take a moment to share it with someone who feels unseen or unworthy. Because sometimes all it takes is one story of faith to remind someone that they're never too far gone for God's mercy to reach them.   If you loved this episode - subscribe, download, review and screenshot and share!

Today we're taking that conversation a step further. I wanted to invite one of my dearest friends onto the podcast to talk about what biblical friendship actually looks like in real life. The ups, the downs, the laughter, the growth, and even the hard moments that refine us. So today, you're going to hear from Kaitlin—someone who's walked with me through different seasons, prayed with me, spoken truth when I needed it, and reminded me of who God is through friendship.

We live in a world where friendship can feel shallow, transactional, or even fragile. But the Bible paints a completely different picture: friendships that are loyal, sacrificial, honest, and rooted in love. So today, we're going to look at what the Word says about true, biblical friendship and how we can cultivate it in our own lives.

Character is who you are when no one is watching. As believers, our character is meant to reflect Christ. The world may prioritize charisma, but God looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). Today, we're going to talk about how to develop godly character — not just for show, but for a life that pleases God and impacts others.

To lay down your life and be a Christian doesn't just mean a willingness to physically die for your faith (though historically, many have). It's first and foremost about a daily surrender of self—your desires, pride, control, and sin—in exchange for the life Jesus gives. Let's dive into what it looks like to walk living a life after Christ's own heart vs the "I checked the box this week" lifestyle that many walk in and think is enough.  If you loved this episode - subscribe, download, review and screenshot and share!

I grew up being my Dads best friend.  I mean, we did EVERYTHING together.  We were inseparable. And then, it all changed.  He could no longer hide the alcohol and depression which caused our relationship to take quite a turn.  As I share my relationship with my Dad, we touch briefly on some of the hardships that came along with being a child navigating through a parent who is under demonic oppression.  However, no matter how tough the road was/is, you can find the path to forgiveness and find freedom.  Forgiveness is a powerful tool.

It is easy for us to believe in someone else miracles, dreams, hopes, healings, etc. Yet when you are in the thick of it, sometimes its hard to stand on the belief that God has a miracle and healing for you.

There is a path and walk that we have all taken. Some of it has been with God, some not at all, some fully with him, but for me, its been a mix.  There was always a pull on my heart to go to church, but I never had a relationship with God.   I will share with you that journey of how my relationship with God came to be just that, a relationship.  Through the ups and downs of life, he has always been there whether I knew it or not.
