This episode is for the one who feels a little lost right now — the one trying to trust God but not sure what He’s doing. I’ve been there. Honestly, I’m still there sometimes.

In this episode, I share a story from a season that felt like the wilderness — where everything felt quiet and uncertain, but God was still moving behind the scenes. If life feels heavy or unclear, I hope this reminds you that what looks like waiting might actually be preparation. God hasn’t forgotten you. 🤍

Good morning, my sweet friend. Let’s start this day by slowing down and breathing in God’s peace. 💌 In this short practice, we’ll take a few deep breaths, pray together, and rest in God’s Word so you can step into your day with peace instead of panic.

My hope is that this becomes your safe place to breathe, reset, and remember the truth: you are not alone, God is with you, and His peace goes with you today.

Hi my sweet friend,

This episode is the gentle beginning of a new three-part guided meditation series on Love Letters from Lys: To the Anxious Heart, Mind, and Body.

If you’ve ever felt your thoughts racing, your chest tightening, or your body unable to rest, you’re not alone. In those moments, we need a simple way to pause and return to God’s presence. That’s what these meditations are for—anchored in scripture, prayer, and breath work to help you step back into peace.

Here’s what’s ahead:

• To: The Anxious Heart — for mornings, to root yourself before the day begins.

• To: The Anxious Mind — for the middle of the day, when stress hits and thoughts spiral.

• To: The Anxious Body — for evenings, when you’re ready to release the day and rest in God’s presence.

Each meditation is about 10 minutes, and my prayer is that they become something you return to again and again—whenever your heart, mind, or body needs peace.

Hi my sweet friends! 💌 Welcome to Season 3 of Love Letters from Lys. In this episode, I’m getting really honest about something I’ve been learning (and still wrestling with): that love is both a choice we make and a gift we bravely receive.

I share pieces of my own story—growing up in an unpredictable home, learning to control everything to feel safe—and how God’s steady love has been gently loosening my grip. Together we’ll walk through Scriptures like 1 Corinthians 13, 1 John 4:19, and Psalm 46:10 to see that His love is not something we earn.

You’ll hear practical ways to: ✨ release control and trust God’s plan ✨ receive love from Him and from others without striving ✨ practice Sabbath rest and invite friends to pray with you

If you’ve ever felt like you had to keep it all together to be loved, this one’s for you. Let’s learn to love—and let ourselves be loved—right where we are. 💛

🎙️ Soundbites

“Love is a choice—a choice to love and a choice to be loved. And if we’re honest, both of those choices can be hard.”

“This passage isn’t about us trying harder; it’s about God. This is how God already loves us—yesterday, today, and forever.”

“Nothing you do today will make God love you more. Nothing you’ve done will make Him love you less. Your worth rests completely on the unshakable love of God.”

“Each morning, open your palms and pray: ‘Lord, I release today to You.’ Be still and know that He is God.”

Hi friends 💌 In this episode of Love Letters from Lys, we’re sitting with Psalm 139 — one of the sweetest reminders that God knows us completely, loves us deeply, and already had every day of our lives written out before we even took our first breath.

If you’ve ever felt weighed down by shame or guilt, or wondered if your past disqualified you, this one’s for you. We’re talking about the difference between shame and conviction, what it really means to be fearfully and wonderfully made, and how God is the master artist painting every detail of our lives into something beautiful. 🎨

You are fully seen. Fully known. Fully loved. Nothing can change that. 🤍

Let’s walk through this psalm together.

Hii sweet friend <3 In this episode of Love Letters from Lys, I’m closing out our Ephesians Bible study and getting real about the back-and-forth battle with confidence and self-doubt. Some days I feel steady, and other days I spiral—but Ephesians 6 reminds us that we’re not powerless. God has given us His armor so we can stand firm no matter what comes against us. Through prayer, reflection, and walking through each piece of the Armor of God, I want to remind you that you are not alone—you are chosen, loved, and fully equipped in Christ.

Sound Bites:

"The enemy’s goal is to distract us, discourage us, and get us to forget who we are in Christ—but God equips us with His armor so we can stand firm."

"When shame whispers, ‘Remember what you did?’ we can answer back, ‘That’s already been forgiven. It doesn’t define me anymore.’"

"Peace isn’t about everything calming down—it’s about knowing Jesus is with us right in the middle of it."

Hii! This week we’re diving into Ephesians 5:21–6:9, and Paul covers a lot—submission, marriage, family, and even work. At first, it can feel a little heavy or even uncomfortable, but when we slow down, there’s actually so much wisdom here about humility, sacrificial love, and what it means to reflect Jesus in our relationships.

In this episode we're breaking it down in a real and practical way—what mutual submission actually looks like, how to love others the way Christ loves us, what honoring parents can look like as we get older, and how our everyday work can be worship. It’s all about seeing our relationships through the lens of faith and learning how to live as children of light.

Hi friend! In this episode, we’re diving into Ephesians 4, where Paul moves from who we are in Christ to how we actually live it out. This chapter is such a sweet reminder of unity, grace, and the beauty of walking in the new life we’ve been given. I’ll share some of my own story about surrender, how God’s been so patient with me, and the little ways He keeps shaping me. If you’ve been feeling stuck, holding on to old habits, or just needing encouragement to keep going, I hope this feels like a gentle reminder that you’re not alone.

This one’s been on my heart. I didn’t realize how much I was rushing through life—even the parts that are supposed to be slow and sacred, like my time with God. In this episode, I’m sharing how Ephesians 3 and The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry have been gently convicting me and inviting me to slow down.

We’re talking about the kind of faith that isn’t hurried or performative, but rooted. The kind that makes space for Jesus to actually dwell in us—not just pass through. If you’ve been feeling disconnected from God or like you’re constantly on the go, this is your reminder that you don’t have to hustle for His love. You just have to let Him in.

So take a breath. Let’s slow down together.

This week, we’re picking up in Ephesians 2:11–22 and sitting with what it really means to belong.

We talk about feeling far from God, struggling with peace, and the moments we’ve questioned our place in faith. But this passage reminds us that Jesus brought us near — not because we earned it, but because of His grace.

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit in, like you’ve messed up too much, or like you’re building your life alone, I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not. We’re part of God’s family. We’re being rebuilt by grace. And we’re already home in Him.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into Ephesians 2—and let me tell you, it’s one of my favorite chapters in the whole Bible. We talk about what it means to feel spiritually dead, how God steps in with grace, and the beauty of being made new in Christ. I open up about recent struggles with anxiety, control, and surrender, and share how God’s mercy has been meeting me exactly where I am.

If you’ve ever felt far from God, overwhelmed, or like you’re running on empty—this one’s for you. Let this be a reminder that you are not who you used to be. You are His masterpiece, deeply loved, and fully alive in Jesus. So take a breath, let go, and receive the grace that’s already yours. You don’t have to hold it all together. He already did.

Welcome to the first chapter of our new Bible study series on the book of Ephesians! In this episode, we’re diving into Chapter 1—a powerful reminder of who we are in Christ. We talk about identity, spiritual blessings, and what it means to be chosen, adopted, redeemed, and sealed by the Holy Spirit.

Whether you’re in a season of doubt, striving, or simply searching for deeper truth—this chapter is a reset button for the soul. Let this episode be a love letter reminding you: you don’t have to earn what Jesus already gave.

Come reflect with me as we walk through the scriptures together, verse by verse. Next week, we’ll explore Chapter 2—and trust me, it gets even better.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about where to begin in your faith, or needed a reminder that you’re chosen and deeply loved—this is for you. I’m so glad we get to start this journey together.

You guys… season 2 is here, and I’ve missed you so much.

In today’s episode, I’m catching you up on life lately — from being a bridesmaid (twice!) to seeing God’s beauty on the Na Pali coast — and sharing what He’s been teaching me in the middle of a waiting season.

If you’ve ever felt like everyone else is getting engaged, married, having babies… while you’re still trying to figure it all out — same. This one’s for the girl who’s trusting God with the in-between. The one learning to enjoy where she’s at, not rush the process, and believe that what’s ahead is worth the wait. You’re not behind — you’re becoming.

Whether you need encouragement, a reminder that God is near, or just want to hear a heartfelt father-daughter conversation rooted in faith and legacy—this episode is for you. I pray it meets you where you’re at and reminds you: you're never alone, and you are deeply loved.

I’m also opening up about something real: feeling empty and learning the difference between true rest and the kind of "rotting" the world normalizes. If you’ve been running on empty too, I pray this encourages you. We’ll talk about refilling our cups with God’s word, trusting His timing in the middle of hard days, and being a light in the workplace even when it feels intimidating. Wherever you’re at today, I hope this reminds you that you’re not alone — and that God is always moving in your story. 💌
