Purpose is SUCH a poppin’ topic in our culture – especially Christian culture. But I think a BIG MISCONCEPTION about purpose is that it’s about US and OUR LIVES.

S2 Ep 25Is there such a thing as absolute truth? (S. 2, Ep. 25)

This question is truly summed up to or broken down to: is anything true? Because if something is true, that is absolute and if nothing is true then what are we here for? Why do we exist? What are we living for? I'm going into one of my favorite topics, and I'm GETTING HYPE, and also very vulnerable. I'm talking about doubts, why I believe what I believe and if there is a such thing as absolute truth.

S2 Ep 24How to handle the news as a Christian (S. 2, Ep. 24)

It’s been a hard season of news, especially lately it just feels like it’s one thing after another. We’re in this weird state of an inundation of information and misinformation and opinions, of sadness, anxiety and cancel culture. So HOW do we handle the news as Christians? Is there a right way to take it in? I’m sure there’s countless right answers to this but I want to talk about what I think are biblical thoughts. I believe the Bible is God’s Word making it timeless which means its truths last forever and no matter what.

S2 Ep 23How to walk in God’s purpose when you don’t know what it is (S.2, Ep. 23)

We think of purpose oftentimes as this big, vague, mysterious idea of purpose. How can I walk in God’s purpose for you when you don’t know what that is? What are his big grand plans for my life and what if I miss them. While yes, He does have plans for your life, but VERY rarely will He even give us a glimpse into what that is. More often than not, to find out how to walk in God’s purpose for our lives, God calls us to simply walk with Him. And in simply walking with Him, He will guide us to those bigger things we call our purpose or things of His purpose.

S2 Ep 22How to break free from sin (S. 2, Ep. 22)

If you’ve ever felt like you are just stuck in sin, maybe it’s an addiction you can’t get free from or an action you just KEEP taking even though you feel convicted, maybe you can’t stop gossiping or lying or you’re ridden with envy and bitterness. To be alive in this world is to be tempted and fall to sin. It’s inevitable. And as a Christian we are told that we can be free from it, that Christ saved us from death and sin, BUT then we think to ourselves — but I haven’t stopped sinning? Or I just CANNOT BREAK FREE from this one sin that seems to OWN me. So today, we’re talking about HOW to break free from sin. We’re going to go through some verses about freedom from sin, and the very relatable feeling chained to sin and then dive into practically how to actually break free. This episode is JAM PACKED with truth. It’s an episode I believe at some point in our lives we may all need. This episode is not only going to be encouraging but challenging because we ALL sin. I want you to know I have prayed over YOU that Jesus would speak to YOU today. So let’s dive in.

S2 Ep 19Don’t You Dare Sit in Singleness (S. 2, E. 19)

The topic of singleness is very important because in culture at large and even Christian culture we really emphasize the glory of marriage and being in a relationship and hold it up almost as a virtue if you will. It’s something we see as a level-up or something we graduate to, even thinking sometimes (I AM GUILTY) that the season of singleness Is a punishment or lesson from God and until I learn the lesson I will be single. But singleness is not a punishment, it’s not a level down and it’s not a less-than status. So today on the podcast we are talking about how to live out your singleness and NOT SITTING IN SINGLENESS.
