Over the years, I have frequently seen and heard phrases like “walk by the Spirit”, or “crucify the flesh” as a follower of Jesus. These sorts of phrases can be a little confusing, like What exactly does flesh mean? And How exactly do I crucify the flesh and walk by the Spirit? At the end of the episode is a devotional on silencing shame. Listen in to todays episode !

Let's talk about the concept of winning. What does it mean to win to you? Is first place what it means to win? Is first place most worthy of praise? Do you have to be first in order to win? In this episode I'm going to talk about winning. Stick around to hear about a new perspective gained while watching a bunch of marbles rolling around.

Happy Saint Patrick's day! This episode includes an illustration that you have a hidden treasure, no need to search at the end of any rainbows! The parable of the three servants in Matthew chapter 25 tied into todays discussion as well.

This episode is a piece of writing titled : struggles in the strumming. I've spent this last week asking God a lot of questions, self reflecting, reading scripture and processing. I felt God pull me to stop what I was doing in the midst of the day and write about what He has been trying to teach me in this season. I'm always amazed at how sometimes the most simple things in life bring me back to my walk with God. I hope you enjoy!

This episode is about life's unmet expectations, disappointments, and discouragement. We've all been in seasons that we've longed for better circumstances than what we are in now. When life doesn't look how we thought it would, when efforts bring no results, when steps of faith lead to closed doors, how do we move forward towards our purpose with hope and perseverance? Listen to find out!

This episode is about finding confidence in your purpose. Last weeks episode I talked about walking towards our purpose and what it looks like learning to walk in faith. So today we will talk about what our purpose is, how to overcome hinderances keeping us from meeting our calling, and how to have confidence in God.

Learning how to walk in faith is something we have to learn to do. Salvation is immediate but sanctification is a process. Emily talks about how God guides us, and what it means to walk with him along the way as we search to find purpose for our lives.

During a time of needing clarity, God encouraged me. Hear a voice note I made for myself after hearing a sermon at Elevation Church by pastor Jentezen Franklin. A word from God came through at a time it was needed most. inspired once again to continue Gods call on my life to “just write”. I share about what Gods doing in my life and how He does immeasurably more.

In a culture where there are many truths, your truth, and my truth. I felt like I had to remind myself what THE TRUTH is and how to walk in it. So Todays message is called Made for More. I felt really inspired to talk about what it means to be transformed into the image of Christ which I talked about in my last episode. I wanted to expand on what it means to have an old self versus a new self and what it looks like to walk out this reality in our culture today.

This episode is about transformation! What a hot topic for the new year right? Between setting goals, starting new habits, and trying to become better, we're all on this journey of transforming ourselves to be our best. After all I do believe we were made for more. Here is a fun story about what it means to transform all inspired by watching a kids show with my son one morning.
