 As a kid, I dreamed of being independent, free, and answerable to no one. When I grew up, I worked hard to build a life just like that. However, as the seasons of life evolved, I realised how transient some of my ideas of freedom really were. I began to reflect: What does it mean to be truly free from the inside out? And can I experience freedom in a universe governed by universal laws? John 8:32 says, “The truth will make you free.” It struck me that truth was something I needed to know. Join me on this podcast as we journey into the profound question: What is “the truth” that has the power to set us free?

    Ever felt like God was holding out on you? I thought so too—until I saw what He was really doing!In this episode, we get real about the in-between seasons—those frustrating times when the promise hasn't arrived and the future feels uncertain. I share how God uses waiting seasons to uncover the limiting beliefs that are holding us back from fully trusting Him.What if the delay isn't a denial, but an invitation? An invitation to deeper surrender, deeper trust, and the kind of freedom that only comes when you realise that once you truly have Jesus, you have everything.If you're still waiting on your “promised land”, this one's for you—because maybe God's not withholding, but rather preparing you for more than you ever imagined!

    Surrender

    Have you ever worked tirelessly toward a goal, only to realise the cost was too high? Maybe your relationships suffered, or you ended up feeling drained and exhausted.In this episode on surrender, Lisa explores how waiting on God's perfect timing leads to blessings that enrich our lives without added sorrow. She shares how, once we experience the presence of Jesus, the things we once clung to—whether a career, a relationship, the need for validation, or our own expectations—begin to lose their grip on us in the light of His presence, a far more secure and lasting source of hope.She illustrates this through the story of Moses. Feeling God's call on his life, Moses took matters into his own hands and stepped outside of God's timing. As a result, he was forced to flee into the wilderness, where he spent 40 years in exile. Then, in a powerful encounter, God appears to him in a burning bush and calls him back to his purpose. By this time, Moses has been humbled by life—he no longer sees himself as capable or qualified to fulfill God's calling. Yet, it's precisely in this state of humility that God moves most powerfully, using Moses to perform miracles, signs, and wonders.This story reminds us that God's greatest work is never accomplished by our own strength. When the time is right, He Himself will bring His plans to pass.

    In Part two of our Breaking Free episode, we dive into the first thing Jesus tells the lame man He heals at the pool of Bethesda: “Your sins are forgiven.” Lisa gets personal, sharing a moment when she realized that true repentance doesn't glorify what we've been forgiven of—it turns us in the opposite direction. She unpacks how our faith and belief in God's forgiveness are reflected in the way we live. She closes with a powerful reminder: when God asks us to leave something behind, it's because He has something new for us to step into.

    In the first part of a two-part series on transformation, Lisa unpacks Jesus' command to the lame man at the pool of Bethesda: “Pick up your mat and walk.” She gets real about her own journey, sharing practical ways we can take action when God calls us to change—whether that means letting go of old habits, stepping into new opportunities, and surrounding ourselves with people who will encourage and support change. Lisa reminds us that the struggles we've faced aren't wasted—God often uses them to shape your testimony and be an example to others walking a similar path. She closes by sharing how setting aside daily time with Jesus—even when sticking to her 5 a.m. routine has been tough—has been the key for real, lasting transformation.

    In this second part of my conversation with my big sister Malika, we dive into what it means to share in the sufferings of Christ and how that shapes our lives. We also explore how to walk the walk of faith, even in moments when we feel faithless. If the journey of faith depends on hearing God's voice, how do we recognize when He speaks. Malika shares practical ways she hears God's voice, and I add a few insights of my own. I pray this episode blesses and encourages you!

    Yay! My big sister Malika has finally joined me on the podcast. Her visit last week gave us the perfect chance to sit down for a chat. Malika has such a pure heart for living in right relationship with God. This discussion was so rich, I had to break it into two episodes. In this first part, Malika opens up about her journey of leaving behind a successful music career to follow God's calling—what that decision taught her, why it's not a path everyone is called to, and how God meets each of us right where we are. She also shares insights about trusting God's timing for His promises, navigating the waiting seasons, and the miraculous transformation that happens when you give your life to Jesus—both the instant breakthroughs and the slower, deeper work He does over time.

    In our first fully visual YouTube episode, Lisa shares how her ambition for fun, success and “more” ended with her finding salvation in Christ. I'm reminded as I write this description that Jesus says “seek and you will find”. God is always looking at hearts that are truly seeking Him. When we seek truth with openness and humility we will find Him.

    A friend and mentor once said to me “I get the feeling you've always found identity in who you are to the people around you and in your career but maybe it's time you find your identity in God”. As sincere as that statement was it was way too deep for me to understand. In this episode Lisa talks about living within our design, journeying through identity crisis after becoming a mom, and what exactly does it mean to be “made in the image of God”.
