When Grief Meets The Holidays, Grace Walks With You

Send us a text The lights are bright, but your heart might not be. We gathered around a hard truth: the holidays can amplify loss, whether it’s a loved one who’s gone, a relationship that ended, or plans that never took shape. From the first pang of seeing an empty chair to the quiet dread of a calendar packed with cheer you don’t feel, we name the ache and offer a path toward peace that doesn’t demand you pretend. I share my own journey through separation and divorce, and how that first Chr...

I Asked For Spice And Got A Sermon

Send us a text Ever prayed for something, took a quick look, decided nothing happened, and then forced a result you couldn’t enjoy? That’s the heartbeat of today’s conversation, where a craving for spicy seafood becomes a living parable about trust, timing, and obedience. We anchor in Romans 8:28, not as a slogan, but as a lens for everyday choices—especially the quiet ones that test patience and reveal whether we truly believe God’s goodness. We start with a simple kitchen scene: no fresh S...

Send us a text When the wind howls and the lights go out, what keeps us on our feet? We open our hearts to the reality of Hurricane Melissa’s impact across Jamaica and the Caribbean and trace a path from shock to steady ground. Our focus is simple and strong: God as a firm foundation, resilience as a shared practice, and hope that breathes even when the roof is gone. We begin by naming the big question: how do you remain standing before, during, and after a storm that seems set to destroy yo...

Grace In The Hard Place

Send us a text What if the place you’d rather leave is the exact ground where God is shaping your future? We explore a raw season of working a new part-time job that didn’t feel like a “fit,” and how small, timely graces—helpful teammates, kind leaders, and even a customer’s compliment—reframed everything. Instead of labeling the assignment as punishment, we unpack how Romans 8:28 becomes a lived posture: all things are being woven for good when we choose obedience, pay attention to favor, an...

Obedience to Go: Trusting God in Uncertain Seasons

Send us a text What if the place you least expected to be is the exact ground where God is growing you for what’s next? Today we open up about obeying the nudge to go—even when “go” looks ordinary, uncomfortable, or hidden from public view. From the reality of taking a part-time job to the deeper work of learning who God is to us in hard seasons, we explore how obedience reshapes our timelines, tempers our pride, and teaches us to trust timing over optics. We walk through three big questions...

The New Year's Eve That Changed Everything

In this raw and deeply personal episode, I share the heartbreaking story of how my boyfriend and I—both backsliders from our faith—made plans to return to church on January 1st, 1993. We had it all mapped out: recommit to God, get married, build our lives together. But he never made it to that day. The shocking 6 AM visit that brought news of his sudden death became my spiritual awakening. At just twenty-something years old, I learned ...

God's Faithfulness Carries Us When We Keep Showing Up

Send us a text Have you ever wondered if your small victories are worth celebrating? When that Buzzsprout notification lit up my screen announcing 1,000 podcast downloads, I faced a choice: dismiss it as insignificant or recognize it as evidence of faithfulness. A thousand downloads over 13 months breaks down to roughly 2.5 downloads per day. Some would scoff at these numbers, pointing to content creators who achieve this in a single day. But that's missing the point entirely. This milestone...
