At the Women Ignite Success Summit 2025 in Kingston, Jamaica, I was so honored to share what God had been doing in my life during that season. From the journey of motherhood to the deep wrestle of unanswered prayers, I've learned what it means to lay everything at His feet and allow Him to search my heart.In this message, I open up about surrender, obedience, forgiveness, and the miracle of God transforming us from the inside out. I share how His holiness has changed me, why intimacy with Him is the greatest miracle we can ever know, and what it truly means to give Him all of ourselves as a living sacrifice.If you've ever wrestled with control, struggled with letting go of bitterness, or longed for God to meet you in a deeper way, this message is for you.Share this with someone who needs the reminder that God isn't after just part of your heart, He's after all of it. And when you give Him everything, you will find freedom, healing, and joy in His presence.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What do pasta, polar bears, and the Pope have in common? They all show up in this episode about climate change. Peterson Toscano refuses to preach doom or guilt—instead, you'll hear Jewish wisdom on acting fast in a crisis, Christian takes on food justice, and a Bronx guy who's had it with polar bears. Also: coffee is under threat, so now you're paying attention. And we end on a diesel-fumed bus ride through Quito, Ecuador, where the future smells like electricity. Juicy Quotes “The climate crisis calls our bluff about being individuals—we are interdependent, whether we like it or not.” —Joelle Novey “We're the first generation to live through the climate crisis—and the last generation that can do anything about it.” —Derek Weston “Polar bears? They're the raccoons of Alaska. Coffee going extinct? Now that's the apocalypse.” —Tony Buffuzio “Combustion cars will be remembered like typewriters—legacy tech we finally grew out of.” —Peterson Toscano Guest Links Joelle Novey – Interfaith Power & Light DC/MD/VA: http://www.ipldmv.org National Interfaith Power & Light: https://interfaithpowerandlight.org Derek Weston – Creation Justice Ministries: https://www.creationjustice.org Derek Weston's book (The Just Kitchen): https://broadleafbooks.com/products/the-just-kitchen Food and Faith Podcast: https://www.foodandfaithpodcast.org

In this week's episode, I felt led to share from my heart about one of the greatest callings and challenges God has given me, parenting.With my kids starting a brand-new school year, I found myself wrestling with questions we all ask as parents: Have I done enough? Am I discipling them well? Am I pointing them to Jesus in the way I should? In the middle of that anxiety, God reminded me that He loves my children even more than I do, and that discipleship isn't about perfection, it's about living in totality with Him, every single day.Deuteronomy 6 gives us clear instructions on how we should parent as believers and in this episode I talk about what it means to train up our kids in the Lord, not just on Sundays, but through the way we live, the conversations we have, and the love they see modeled in our homes.If you've ever felt the weight of raising children, wondered if you're getting it “right,” or longed for practical ways to weave faith into the rhythms of your family life, this one's for you.Share this episode with another parent who needs the reminder that they're not walking this journey alone, God is faithful, and He's entrusted us with His children for a purpose.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hey Fam! This week's episode is one I've been sitting with for a while, because it's straight from something God has been working on in my own heart, learning to bring everything to His feet.If you've ever found yourself running around doing all the things for God but feeling distant from Him, you're not alone. I've been there, serving, pouring out, checking every box, and still missing that closeness my soul was craving.In this episode, we're looking at Mary and Martha's story in Luke 10, and what it really means to choose intimacy before activity. Whether you're in a busy season, or just longing for more of His presence, my prayer is that this conversation gives you permission to slow down, and draw near.This one is full of gentle conviction, and the reminder that you're always welcome at His feet. Share this with a friend who's been feeling tired, or distant from the Lord, they might need this just as much as you do.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hey Guys! This week's episode is extra close to my heart because I'm joined by someone I know y'all are going to love hearing from — Jordan is on the couch with me! What started as just working together has turned into something so much deeper — she's truly become family. Our story is one of grief, friendship, discipleship, and the kind of connection that only comes when God brings two people together for His purpose.Whether you're a young Christian trying to walk with Jesus, someone who cares for a loved one with special needs, or if you've been searching for real, Christ-centered community — this episode is for YOU. We talk about how our friendship reflects Ruth & Naomi's story, following Jesus in your 20s — when it's hard, awkward, or unpopular, caring for someone with special needs while still trusting God's plan, and how God can use us in our own families and networks to spread the gospel and make disciples.This one is full of God's faithfulness, and the kind of joy that only comes through the journey. I'm so grateful for Jordan and I can't wait for y'all to hear her heart!

“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” - Luke 9:23In this episode, I'm diving into something the Lord has been pressing on my heart: Jesus didn't call us to comfort, he called us to carry a cross.I share a story that started off as a fun little birthday bike ride… and turned into a full-blown sermon from the Holy Spirit. What I thought would be an easy, scenic trip ended up showing me so much about the reality of the Christian walk, it's not easy, and it's not supposed to be.If you've ever felt tired, or caught off guard by how hard following Jesus can be, I want you to know, you're not alone!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week I sat down with Norris Johnson III and we talked about what it really looks like to serve God when you're spiritually empty, and how the Acts 2:42 conference became a turning point for him, a moment where the Lord met him in the middle of burnout and reignited the fire he thought he'd lost.As we unpacked his journey, we dug deep into what it means to die to self and to truly walk in sonship instead of striving to be used by God. We also explored the weighty call to be a “living sacrifice” like Romans 12 teaches, the danger of blending culture with Christianity, and how sometimes God will protect us from the very blessings we're not ready to carry. This episode doesn't just inspire, it challenges and calls us back to the altar.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hey fam! In this week's episode, I'm diving into one of the most meaningful parables to me, the story of the Prodigal Son.Lately, I've been studying Luke 15 and reading through The Prodigal God by Timothy Keller with my Village community on Patreon & the Lord has been showing me how easy is is to either run from Him or try to earn His love, and how both can lead us far from the Father's heart.Whether you're like the younger son who wanders off or the older son in the field, I pray this conversation helps you see just how deeply God loves you, and how near He wants us to be.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if worship isn't just what you sing… but how you live? In this week's episode I sat down with my dear friend and fellow podcaster, Pastor Ebenezer Endiryas, for a conversation that deeply challenged me, and I believe it's going to do the same for you. We unpack what Romans 12 really means when it says to present your body as a living sacrifice. That's not just poetic language, that's a call to daily obedience. And let's be honest, real obedience doesn't always feel good. Sometimes it looks like saying “yes” when no one sees it, and when it costs you something you love.Let this be a reminder. God is after your heart, not your highlight reel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome back fam! This week Jackie Hill Perry joins me again for part two of our podcast. In this episode we're talking about Christian content creation, conviction, repentance, and what it looks like to stay faithful to God, even when the algorithm is loud. We also discuss why some content might be getting clicks but isn't making disciples, the temptation to chase platforms instead of the presence of God, and the difference between strategy and surrender. I pray this episode encourages you, and draws you closer to the Lord!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this heartfelt episode of Father and Joe, hosts Joe Rockey and Father Boniface dissect the nuanced roles that faith and positivity play in our lives, encouraging us towards deeper relationships with God, others, and ourselves. Joe shares personal anecdotes emphasizing the extraordinary timing of certain connections in life, suggesting that these are more than mere coincidences. He explores the intricate web of trust and sense of purpose that comes with acting out of faith, whether in business or personal life, and how these experiences instill gratitude and joy.Father Boniface contributes his insights into the neurobiological benefits of positivity and gratitude, tying it back to the spiritual realm. He highlights how opening ourselves up to see divine intervention in what might seem like random occurrences can be liberating and enriching.The conversation then delves into the power of choice. They explore how choosing faith and optimism over cynicism can cultivate a sense of spiritual purpose. Through the lens of a child's innocent faith, Joe challenges listeners to “live like a child,” embracing trust, learning, and openness while aware of risks. Father Boniface emphasizes the communal nature of Christian faith, encouraging listeners to lend support to others, especially those trapped in negative spirals, exemplifying the Christian call to lift the downtrodden.The hosts acknowledge that this positive outlook isn't equally easy for everyone, recognizing that life's challenges can weigh heavy. They advocate for communal support and how minor choices can significantly influence our path towards a hopeful, faith-filled life.Listeners are left with actionable insights: to be mindful of their next choice, lean into opportunities for deeper, more meaningful relationships, and allow small decisions to steer them towards a life resonant with positivity and divine connection. This episode of Father and Joe is a call to action; lean into faith, grasp the positive, and witness the transformative power of gratitude and divine intervention in everyday moments.Tags:Faith, Positivity, Divine Timing, Coincidences, Gratitude, Spiritual Growth, God, Relationships, Neurobiology, Connection, Trust, Children's Faith, Christianity, Optimism, Choice, Community Support, Hope, Daily Life, Spiritual Direction, Church, Love, Service, Mission, Encouragement, Uplift, Life Lessons, Mental Health, Inspiration, Transformation, Faith Podcast, Joe Rockey, Father Boniface, Positive Thinking, Emotional Wellbeing, Spiritual Wellbeing, Encouraging Faith, Grateful Living, Building Relationships, Divine Intervention, Spiritual JourneyHashtags:#Faith #Positivity #Gratitude #DivineTiming #SpiritualGrowth #God #Relationships #Connection #Trust #ChildlikeFaith #Christianity #Optimism #CommunitySupport #Hope #DailyFaith #ChurchCommunity #LoveInAction #Inspiration #FaithPodcast #JoeRockey #FatherBoniface #PositiveMindset #EmotionalWellbeing #GratefulLiving #FaithJourney #ActOfFaith #SpiritualDirection #LifeLessons #DivineIntervention #CommunityLove #BuildingRelationships #MentalHealth #Encouragement #TransformativeFaith #SpiritualWellbeing #Uplift #MissionInLife #FaithInAction #LiveWithFaith

This week on In Totality, I'm joined by one of my best friends and someone I deeply admire - Jackie Hill Perry. This conversation is one of those that stays with you. We went deep into what it really means to surrender, not just in the big ways, but in the quiet, hidden corners of our hearts, letting God touch on the places we try to hide-- where pride, fear, or even self-protection still live.We talk about the kind of hunger that leads to holiness — the kind that comes when we deny ourselves and draw near to God in intimacy, even through something as simple (but hard) as fasting. If you're tired of glossing over your heart and ready to let God examine every hidden corner, this conversation is for you!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode is one of the most honest ones I've shared. Over the past month, I've felt the weight of the Lord's discipline, and not in a way that pushed me away, but in a way that pulled me back to truth.I was in a rut. I was complaining, easily offended, and frustrated with God,but what He showed me was deeper than my emotions. He showed me that I had stopped guarding my heart (Proverbs 4:23), and because of that, pride, bitterness, and cynicism were sneaking in quietly.In this episode, I'm talking about what it really looks like to guard your heart not just from toxic people or outside voices, but from your own thoughts, offense, and the lies that subtly disconnect you from God.This isn't just about discipline - it's about intimacy. It's about letting God confront what's trying to corrupt you and choosing closeness with Him over comfort.If you've been feeling dry, defensive, or distant from God - this one's for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

He reminds listeners of the communal aspect of faith, encouraging those who have extra to extend help to those who may be struggling to foster such relationships.Joe complements this with an insightful thought experiment that encourages listeners to rethink past situations and relationships, aiming to open their hearts and minds to love.

My friend, Hayley Mulenda & I sit down to unpack what God's been teaching both of us-- discomfort is a discipline, and avoiding it might be the very thing holding us back from intimacy with him. Today, we live in a world where everything is designed for speed and convenience. Amazon delivers in hours, food shows up at our door, and even spirituality seems available at the click of a button, but when it comes to following Jesus there are no shortcuts. In this episode, Hayley shares how a health scare forced her into a season of total dependence on God, and I talk about how the Lord is looking for even more intimacy with us in this time, and what it's like to feel stretched by the weight of the calling. If you feel like God is requiring an increase in intimacy and dependence on Him, this one's for you!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The past several weeks have been a lot! Multiple car accidents (yes, including a deer collision), parenting chaos and disappointments that hit me hard. I found myself frustrated, exhausted, and honestly asking God: “Why is this happening?”But in the middle of the mess, the Lord impressed something powerful on my heart:“I'm not trying to destroy you. I'm trying to weaken you.”If this episode encourages you, please share it with someone else who needs it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When God writes your love story, it looks different from the world's version — and it's worth the wait.In today's episode of In Totality, I sit down with two of my dear friends, a married couple whose very first kiss was at the altar on their wedding day. We talk about their individual journeys of salvation, the seasons of preparation God led them through, and the faith it took to trust Him every step of the way.Their story is powerful, but it's important to remember: while this may not be exactly what God is specifically calling you to do in your waiting season, He is calling all of us to live lives of obedience, faith, and consecration.We dive deep into what it means to honor God not just in dating, but in every part of our walk with Christ. If you've ever wondered if it's still possible to live set apart in relationships today, this conversation will remind you: it is, and it's beautiful.Whether you're single, dating, or already married, I pray this episode encourages you to trust God's timing, obey His leading, and believe that His plans for you are better than anything you could write on your own.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When my son was diagnosed with autism at age two—and later with Fragile X syndrome—I entered a kind of grief I wasn't prepared for. It wasn't loud or dramatic. It was quiet, slow, and deeply sacred. It was the grief of letting go of the life I imagined and learning to embrace the one God was writing.In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the pain, surrender, and beauty that come with raising a child with special needs while clinging to faith in Jesus. I talk about the silent ache of broken expectations, the sacredness of honest lament, and the unexpected closeness of God in the middle of it all.Grief doesn't always come from death—it often comes from the loss of an idea, a dream, or a version of life we thought we'd have. But even there, God is present. Even in our most unspoken sorrows, He is faithful. And even when healing doesn't look the way we hoped, He still gets the glory.If you've ever carried a grief you didn't choose, or wrestled with faith in the face of life's hardest questions, this episode is for you. May it remind you that you're not alone—and that hope still lives here, too.Listen now on all audio platforms.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
