Grieving the Life I Planned

Ever been frustrated by a detour you never saw coming? It's easy to see it as the thing standing between you and what you really want. But what if the detour is doing something in you that the destination never could?In this episode, we talk about why you shouldn't despise the detours. Those unexpected turns often build the character and strength you'll need to steward your dream well once you arrive, so it becomes a blessing instead of a burden.*I am sorry for the audio issues here and there! And at the end I said "if you're watching you can't see this," and I obviously meant if you're listening you can't see this.. ok that's all love you!

We talk a lot about discipline — waking up early, sticking to the plan, pushing through. But discipline on its own can run empty; it tells you what to do without ever telling you why. In this episode, we're digging into the difference between discipline and consecration, and why consecration is what gives your discipline purpose. It's not just about doing the right things — it's about living a life that's truly set apart. If you've ever felt like you're just going through the motions, this one's for you.

Something God is working out in me is the desire for comfort. He's not telling me that comfort is bad but I want to get more comfortable with discomfort knowing that it's often for my benefit and for my growth. In Psalm 23 David says he is comforted by the "rod and staff" so that sent me in to study mode and I'm getting so much out of it so I wanted to share some.

Have you ever had a season where nothing looked the way you thought it would? I think we've all been there and it can be so hard to find hope for the future. The good news is that even when nothing looks like we wanted it to, God can see what we can't and He works ALL things together for good.

Community is so important. It's not just a good idea, it's a God idea. Even Jesus had His 12 disciples He did life with. In this episode I talk about why it's so important but also what it's not, and where you can find it :)

Mental health has been a hot topic for years now, as it should be. I wanted to share part of my journey and some of my thoughts. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Welcome back everyone! I didn't know if I'd ever be here again but God has been working on my heart and I feel like there's a lot to share that will be encouraging and empowering. As always I want to keep the main thing the main thing which is Jesus and how amazing a life with Him truly is. Thank you so much for being here!

I am living in so many answered prayers but I know a fact that repenting and turning from my sin was the turning point for my life. When I came back to Jesus and gave Him all I had that is when the entire trajectory of my life changed. I pray this one blesses you!
