In this episode, we explore how God leads us through uncertainty, just as He guided the Israelites with His Presence in the wilderness. Learn why staying close to God — before making any move — is the key to peace, clarity, and obedience. Pause, listen, and let His Presence guide your next step.

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “This isn’t how it was supposed to go”?  In this episode, we talk about what it means to trust God when life goes "off-script".

If you’ve been struggling with detours, delays, or disappointment, this message is for you. It’s a reminder that your story isn’t over and God is still at work behind the scenes. Because God's promises never fail, even when our plans do.

Do you want to see your family truly change? It doesn’t start with them — it starts with you and Jesus.  In this episode, we talk about how an intimate relationship with God can shift the entire atmosphere of your home.

Three women. One name. Three outcomes. Listen to Jules as she unpacks the stories of the three Tamars: one desolate, one defined by beauty, and one who rose strategically to become part of Jesus’ lineage.
