When you sit back and open your mind and heart you will find that this podcast will allow you to be your authentic self. It is designed to make you feel naked and unashamed. Our goal is to inspire our listeners to dig deep within themselves and ask the hard questions that require honesty and transparency. We are looking forward to full engagement with our listeners and respect the thoughts and opinions of all that correspond with us. We are a Christian based platform and believe that Jesus (God) is our source of faith and our absolute rule of our conduct. However our mission is to have believers as well as non-believers tune in so we can have meaningful and kingdom minded conversations. Please join us as we move forward in life with an agenda of pleasing our Lord and Savior. Thank you in advance for being part of something much greater than ourselves.

Hey family — happy Valentine's Day! RJ invites you to remember that God is our primary relationship and that when we truly dwell in His presence (Psalm 27:4), everything else falls into the right place. He riffs on abiding in Jesus, the "living vine," and asks a thoughtful question: Do we each have one Spirit-gift to edify the church? Come sit with us for a few minutes, be encouraged to remain in His presence, and see how staying connected to the Vine brings fruit, purpose, and joy to your everyday life.
This episode explores Psalm 27:4 and Luke 10:38–42, urging believers to prioritize dwelling with God above life's many distractions. RJ reflects on whether each believer has a single gifting to edify the body of Christ and points listeners to seeking God's direction by sitting at Jesus' feet. Through heartfelt prayer and practical encouragement, the message invites listeners to make God the center of daily life, trust His guidance, and let His presence shape their service and gifts.
