Checking in within isn’t about finding everything wrong with yourself. It’s about developing a relationship with yourself that allows you to recognize, acknowledge, and address what’s happening internally before it begins to affect how you live externally. In this episode, I’Wanna provides practical instructions to help you take inventory of what’s happening within you. It’s an opportunity to pause, reflect, and become intentional about understanding your emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Because sometimes, before you can determine what needs to change around you, you have to acknowledge what’s happening within you. The goal isn’t self-criticism. It’s self-awareness, intentionality, and growth.

Jesus didn’t need every disciple to have the same level of visibility to prove that they all had value. He chose all twelve, even though their stories would not all be told with the same level of detail. And sometimes, we make the mistake of measuring our value by how much we are seen, acknowledged, celebrated, or mentioned. But your visibility does not determine your value. In this episode, I’Wanna discusses the importance of knowing just how valuable you are to God, and learning to be secure in who He created you to be, even when your name isn’t the one being called, your work isn’t being recognized, or your season doesn’t look like someone else’s.

Psalm 23 is so much deeper than “God will take care of me.” It is David describing what it looks like to live when you have decided that God is responsible for leading you even when you don’t understand where He’s taking you. In this episode, I’Wanna discussed the importance of trusting God’s leading when you’re not sure of the route.

The most miserable place is trying to operate in a position that does not belong to you or a position you’re not quite ready for.  In this episode, I’Wanna discuss the importance of being in positions and stewarding that position well.

There are moments in life that cause you to question where you are. You may wonder if God sees your heart, your tears, or the pain you’re carrying. In this episode, I’Wanna reminds us that regardless of what we know, what we feel, or where we find ourselves, God knows. He sees, He hears, and He is present in every moment.

There are moments when we want answers, timelines, and visible evidence that God is working. But He’s been reminding me that our assignment isn’t to figure everything out; it’s to rest in what He’s already spoken. In this episode, I’Wanna’s sharing that reminder with you as she encourages us to trust His Word over our worries and discover what it truly means to rest in what He said.

To truly surrender spiritually is to release your need to control outcomes, timelines, and even the way you think God should work, while continuing to trust, obey, and follow Him. In this episode, I’Wanna discusses why it’s important to surrender everything to God.

Often, when we’ve been hurt, overlooked, betrayed, or misunderstood, something within us longs for balance or repayment. Yet one of the most powerful signs of healing is reaching a place where you no longer need either. In this episode, I’Wanna explores the importance of staying focused on the assignment God has given you and trusting Him to handle the things that are beyond your control.

A birthday marks time naturally, but spiritually and emotionally it can mark transition, renewal, reflection, and responsibility. It is an invitation to move forward instead of staying emotionally anchored to old versions of yourself. In this episode, I’Wanna discusses the importance of moving forward even if you’re not sure of where you’re headed.

Have you ever noticed that in the midst of transition, God gives signs? What once felt aligned can suddenly begin to feel heavy, limiting, or spiritually dry; a sign that His presence is no longer resting there in the same way. In this episode, I’Wanna discusses the importance of not only recognizing the signs, but also preparing to move when God begins to shift you into the next season.

Have you ever felt lost in your thoughts or troubled in your spirit? Have you ever wondered, “God, are You really listening?” In this episode, I’Wanna unpacks the true purpose of prayer and the power it holds when you fully surrender to it.

Right now, we’re living in a time where everything is loud, fast, and often negative. Seeing things “differently” means refusing to let your perspective be shaped only by what’s in front of you instead of what’s within you. In this episode, I’Wanna encourages us to view life through a spiritual lens rather than a natural one.

There’s a race each of us is called to run and believing you can finish is what determines if you will. Your faith will be challenged in moments of uncertainty and stretched in the unknown, but what if that’s exactly where God meets you? In this episode, I’Wanna shares the importance of maintaining the same level of endurance from start to finish and learning how to celebrate not just the beginning, but the perseverance it takes to cross the finish line.

Making a decision to walk in the things of God is not just a moment; it’s a lifestyle shift. It’s choosing alignment over convenience, purpose over pressure, and obedience over comfort. In this episode, I’Wanna shares the importance of fully stepping into what God has revealed and trusting Him enough to walk it out.

Have you ever wondered if what you’re doing truly pleases God? Have you ever found yourself comparing the way you serve to the way others serve? In this episode, I’Wanna explores the story of Mary and Martha and the choices they made when Jesus visited their home. Sometimes it’s not the bad things that distract us it’s the good things.
