030 | Finding Stability in Transition

In honor of love month being last month, let's talk about sex. Along with leader, missionary, and friend, Dani Hernandez, we're going to delve into what sex is, debunk some myths and lies surrounding it, and ultimately uncover God's beautiful design for sex and marriage. We don't claim to have all the answers or to address every nuance, but we just wanted to start the conversation.

As the body of Christ, we need to go back to the basics. Three things that I believe are on God's heart right now for the body are purity, simplicity, and humility - coming back to first love, not overcomplicating our walk with Him, and being humbly dependent on Him every day. I hope this episode encourages you and turns the attention of your heart back to Him.

God cares deeply about your mind and emotions - He created them. In this episode, we dive into the misconceptions and misunderstandings surrounding mental health within the Christian community. We discuss how integrated your mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical health really are and the beauty of healing, through worship, therapy, the Word, and learning to pay compassionate attention to yourself.

It's our second EVER question & answer session and we're jumping into topics like the Holy Spirit, singleness and when to pursue a relationship, finding faith-filled friendships, and staying connected to God throughout the day-to-day. Give it a listen and get ready to be encouraged! If you enjoy Already Loved, consider giving it a 5 star rating and review on whatever platform you listen on (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, etc.)!

When life changes, it's easy to become overwhelmed and discouraged. Today, we chat about how to stay encouraged in the midst of change and lean on Jesus as our only constant.

The Gospel is not a concept we graduate from, it's a foundation we build our lives on. Join me today with one of my closest friends Naomi Bell as we chat about the endless beauty and revelation found in the simple Gospel — that God loved us, but in our sin He sent His son Jesus to die on the cross for us, so that we could have a relationship with Him today and eternal life. We discuss the Good News itself, grounding our identities in Him, why we need to keep the Gospel as the center of our lives and how it daily shapes how we live. Whether you've heard it once or you've heard it a million times, God has a fresh word for you about it today. Naomi Bell is one of my best friends whom I met in Cru at my college. She and I have done ministry together with Cru (formerly called Campus Crusade for Christ) since August 2021 and continue to serve together.

On the other side of purity is freedom. Join special guest Anna Doss and me as we chat about the freedom found in living a life of purity, knowing Jesus as our bridegroom, and how it's never too late to run back to Jesus. Anna Doss is a worship leader and singer/songwriter located in Dallas, TX. She is one of my long-time best friends and releases her own music available on all streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) under "Anna Doss."

Join me & hear about my convictions, burnout, updates and thoughts about the podcast! I felt the Lord lay new vision and fresh perspective for the future of this podcast. I hope my story encourages you today :)

Happy ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of the Already Loved Podcast! I'm so incredibly honored and grateful to be here thanks to Jesus & you guys. In today's episode, we talk about the power and impact gratitude can have on our hearts and in our lives. Life is about to get pretty busy with the holiday season, so slowing down and being thankful and present can help us tremendously. Enjoy!

Christianity is more than going through the motions and going to Heaven. God desires for you to experience the fullness of His promises, and the biggest part of that is surrendering your life. Today, I have my mentor since high school, Hannah Ward, share what the true cost of following Christ is, and also the true reward (spoiler alert, it's Him). Hannah is a passionate follower of Jesus and missionary for Him. She has been mentoring me since I was 14; I hope this episode blesses you!
