Advertise on podcast: FIND ME IN THE SECRET PLACE

You were never meant to live the Christian life without the Holy Spirit. Sometimes we find ourselves wondering where our joy went, why we have no peace, or why following God suddenly feels exhausting. We’re praying, reading our Bibles, serving, resisting sin, and trying to do all the “right” things, but somewhere along the way, we may have started trying to do the work of the Spirit in our own strength. The Holy Spirit isn’t an optional part of our walk with God. He is our Helper, our Comforter, our Teacher, and the One who produces His fruit within us. In this episode, we’re talking about why we desperately need the Holy Spirit, what happens when we begin depending on ourselves instead of Him, and how to return to a life that is led and empowered by the Spirit. You cannot manufacture love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control through willpower alone. It is the fruit of the Spirit. "Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit." — Galatians 5:25 Stop trying to do alone what God gave you His Spirit to do with you.

Waiting on God can be one of the hardest parts of our faith journey. We pray, we prepare, we obey, and eventually we start wondering: God, how much longer? But what if the waiting season isn't just something you need to get through? What if God is using it to transform you? In this episode, we're talking about what God does in the waiting: how He develops our faith, exposes what we're depending on, prepares us for what's ahead, and teaches us to trust Him without needing to know when everything will happen. Sometimes we're so focused on God changing our circumstances that we miss how deeply He's changing us. Can you trust God with your desires, your plans, and even your timeline? The waiting isn't wasted. God is still working. "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." — Psalm 27:14

What if feeling unqualified doesn’t mean you’re not called? So many of us delay obedience because we’re waiting to feel ready, confident, experienced, or equipped enough to do what God has called us to do. But throughout Scripture, God repeatedly called ordinary, imperfect, and unlikely people and equipped them for the assignment He gave them. In this episode, we’re talking about what it means to be called by God, how insecurity can keep us from obedience, and why your weaknesses don’t automatically disqualify you from being used by Him. God isn’t asking you to have everything figured out before you say yes. He’s asking for your surrender, your obedience, and your willingness to let Him equip you along the way. If God called you, trust that He knows exactly who He called. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9 Stop waiting until you feel qualified. Say yes and let God do the qualifying.

What does it actually mean to live holy? Holiness isn't reserved for pastors, leaders, or the "super spiritual." As followers of Christ, we are all called to be set apart. But in a culture where compromise is normalized and the line between conviction and comfort can become blurry, what does pursuing holiness actually look like? In this episode, we're talking about what biblical holiness is, what it isn't, our relationship with sin, obedience, conviction, and the daily decision to become more like Christ. Holiness isn't about earning God's love or achieving perfection. It's the fruit of a life surrendered to Him. "But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct." — 1 Peter 1:15 We aren't called to blend in. We're called to be set apart.

What does it really mean to behold the Lamb? In a world constantly fighting for our attention, it can become easy to know about Christ without truly fixing our eyes on Him. We become distracted by our circumstances, ourselves, our desires, and even the work we're doing for God—and slowly lose sight of the One it's all about. In this episode, we're talking about the art of beholding: learning to recognize Christ, keeping our attention fixed on Him, and allowing what we see in Him to transform the way we live. Because the Christian life isn't just about doing more for God. It's about seeing Him, knowing Him, loving Him, and becoming more like Him. "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" — John 1:29 May we become a people who never lose our wonder at the Lamb.

What if the biggest idols in your life don't look like idols at all? We often think of idolatry as golden calves and carved statues, but the Bible shows us that anything we love, trust, pursue, or depend on more than God can become an idol. Our hearts are constantly tempted to put success, relationships, comfort, approval, ministry, money—even good things—in the place that belongs to Jesus alone. In this episode, we talk about: How to identify the hidden idols in your heart.Why we naturally create idols.The subtle ways idolatry steals our devotion.How to put Jesus back at the center of your life.Jesus isn't asking to be part of your life—He's worthy of being at the center of it. "Little children, keep yourselves from idols." — 1 John 5:21 My prayer is that this message leads you into deeper repentance, wholehearted worship, and a greater love for Christ.

If you've been fighting to stay faithful, this message is for you. Maybe no one sees the battles you're facing. Maybe you're exhausted from resisting temptation, wrestling with doubt, enduring spiritual warfare, or simply trying to remain faithful when following Jesus feels difficult. But God sees you. He sees every prayer, every act of obedience, every tear, every moment you choose Him even when it's hard. Your fight is not in vain, and your perseverance matters to Him. In this episode, we're reminded that faith isn't always easy—but it's always worth it. Don't give up. Keep fixing your eyes on Christ. He is faithful to finish what He started in you. "Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." — Galatians 6:9 If this encouraged you, I pray it strengthens you to keep running the race and holding on to Jesus.

There is a place God has called you to occupy. The Body of Christ was never meant to be carried by a few while everyone else watches from the sidelines. Every believer has been given gifts, a purpose, and a role to play in what God is doing in His Church. Maybe you've been hiding. Maybe you've been waiting for the "perfect time." Maybe you've convinced yourself that someone else will do it. But what if God is calling you higher? In this episode, we talk about stepping into your ministry calling, serving faithfully, and answering God's invitation to participate in the revival we pray for. Revival isn't just something we watch happen—it's something we respond to. The Kingdom needs laborers, not spectators. "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few." — Matthew 9:37 If God has been stirring something in your heart, this message is for you.

What do you do when God says no? Most of us love to talk about answered prayers, open doors, and God's blessings. But what happens when the answer isn't what we hoped for? What happens when God closes the door, delays the promise, or simply says no? In this video, we explore why God's "no" is not rejection, how to trust Him when His plans differ from our own, and why surrendering our desires is an essential part of following Christ. If you're struggling to understand God's answer, feeling disappointed, or wrestling with unmet expectations, this message is for you. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord." — Isaiah 55:8 May this encourage you to trust God's heart even when you don't understand His answer.

Have you ever found yourself so focused on doing all the right Christian things that you forget the One it's all about?In this video, we're talking about the condition of our hearts, why self-examination matters, and how easy it is to lose sight of Jesus while still looking spiritually active. The goal of the Christian life isn't simply better habits, more knowledge, or a polished image—it's Christ.If you've been feeling spiritually dry, distracted, performance-driven, or distant from God, this message is an invitation to check your heart and return to what matters most.Jesus isn't just part of the faith—He is the point.📖 "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." – Matthew 6:21🤍 If this video encouraged you, let me know what God has been teaching you in this season.

Sometimes it doesn’t feel like a sudden change — it feels slow. You don’t wake up one day completely distant from God. It happens quietly through distraction, pressure, emotional exhaustion, and everyday compromises that slowly shift your desire for Him. In this episode, we’re talking about what it looks like when your desire for God starts fading without you fully realizing it. We unpack the subtle things that pull you away from intimacy with God, why spiritual hunger weakens over time, and what it actually takes to return back to a place of closeness with Him. If you’ve felt spiritually dry, unmotivated, or far from where you used to be with God, this conversation is meant to bring awareness — and direction back.

Have you ever felt spiritually dull, disconnected, or like your hunger for God just isn’t what it used to be? In this episode, we’re talking about what it means to carry oil spiritually — not in a performative or trendy way, but in the biblical sense of intimacy, readiness, consecration, and stewardship with God. We unpack how distraction, comfort, comparison, and neglect can slowly dry out our spiritual lives without us even realizing it. We also dive into the cost of intimacy with God, the sacrifices required to enter deeper places with Him, and why many of us want the fire of God without the oil that sustains it. This is a conversation about spiritual hunger, surrender, stewardship, and returning to genuine closeness with God again.

A lot of us say we want God’s will… until it conflicts with our own.In this episode, we’re talking about surrender, submission, and what it really means to lay down your desires before God. Following Jesus is not just adding God into your plans. It’s allowing His will to take priority over your own, even when it’s uncomfortable, confusing, or costly.We talk about the struggle of wanting control, the tension between the flesh and the Spirit, and why dying to self is a necessary part of the Christian walk. Sometimes the hardest thing to surrender is not sin, but our own plans, desires, and expectations.This is a conversation about trust, obedience, and choosing God’s will over your own. tagsGod’s will, surrender to God, Christian podcast, dying to self, submission to God, Christian obedience, following Jesus, spiritual growth, faith and surrender, crucify the flesh, Christian encouragement, trusting God, walking with God, denying yourself, God’s plan, obedience to God, faith journey, relationship with God, Christian lifestyle, biblical teaching, self denial, Christian motivation, flesh vs spirit, growing closer to God, spiritual maturity

We hear a lot about “finding yourself,” but what if the Christian walk is actually about losing yourself? In this episode, I’m sharing what it looks like to let go of your identity in order to fully live in Christ. This isn’t about losing your personality or becoming empty. It’s about surrendering the version of yourself you’ve built so that God can form something deeper, truer, and rooted in Him. We talk about what it means to die to self, why holding onto your identity can quietly hold you back, and how real freedom is found when Christ becomes the center of who you are.
