Hey guys, I'm back! In this episode I sit down with a dear friend of mine, Meagan Hogans, as she shares her journey with surrender and obedience unto the Lord.

In this week's episode I am joined with my former boss, mentor, and friend, as she shares her story for the first time! I am so thrilled for you guys to hear of where the Lord has brought her and how He has truly restored her joy; We discuss how each and every decision, trial, and hardship has led her to the point she is at right now. A big topic in this episode is forgiveness. As a Christ follower, it can be hard to forgive, but our Father instructs us that it is the way to live. Matthew 6:14-15 makes that very clear, "For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions." At some point, something has to give and you have to surrender it all. All the hurt, trauma, pain, and suffering at the feet of Jesus and watch Him turn it into something greater than yourself. As always, I love you guys and I will see ya'll next Monday!

In this episode, Jessica McLennan and I take a look into her testimony as she shares some of the heartache that she has had to go through in this life.

I am so excited for you guys to hear this week's episode. As you listen, I pray that you tune into the advice that Sister Jessica gives and take it to heart. As always, I love you guys and I will see ya'll next Monday!

In this episode, I am joined with my long time friend Kyla. We take a deeper dive into the different areas of ministry she has served in and how each ministry assignment has shaped her faith and how important it is to get plugged in, stay consistent, and find a community of like-minded believers. As you listen to this episode, I pray you find the only hope of Jesus and feel pushed to start a relationship with Him or further the one you already have and surround yourself with those of a like-mind! As always, I love you guys and I'll see you next Monday!

In this episode, Ben Ahne and I talk about how God truly can restore any and everything, approaching things Biblically, along with how He heals, sets free, and reconciles things that we as humans believe to be impossible. We also touch on the gifting of singing/songwriting and how to stewards those gifts in the way the Lord desires for us; all for His glory. "Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31 As always, I love you guys and I'll see you next Monday!
