    Ever wonder if the person you're dating is actually the person you should be dating? Well, here are 5 ways to determine if you're dating the wrong person. These are core reasons to break up, straighten up and move on. You are dating the wrong person if...

    They're not consistently pursuing Jesus.Those you love and trust don't love and trust who you're dating.You don't resolve conflict maturely and healthily. You find it difficult to trust or have experienced trust being broken repeatedly. They are leading you away from Jesus.

    It might be time to cut the chord, rip the bandaid off and break off the relationship you're currently in. You can either choose temporary happiness for longterm misery or short term heartache for longterm freedom and peace.

    What as once stated as “un-American” and “a medieval vanity project” is now being embraced by Kamala Harris. Yes, the infamous wall former President Trump worked on building is now a promise Kamala promises to fulfill to voters should she be elected as the next president of the United States. In February 2020, she wrote on Facebook that “Trump’s border wall is a complete waste of taxpayer money and won’t make us any safer”. Republicans now have accused Kamala Harris of a policy flip-flop after she embraced an immigration crackdown that would involve expanding the controversial US southern border wall. This and more is discussed in today's episode.

    The DNC proudly announces they successfully terminated 25+ babies during the Democratic National Convention. 25 heartbeats. 25 lives. 25 breaths taken away in the name of "me," pride and selfishness. In this episode we discuss the narratives being pushed by the left and the harsh realities of abortions.

    Additionally, I address the God is Woman perfume released in stores by Ariana Grande. Christians have become so comfortable to pop culture and celebrities mocking God that they don't bat an eye at the blasphemy. Jude highlights this mindset as people operate like animals.

    At the National Democratic Convention, Planned Parenthood will be offering free abortions and vasectomies August 19-20th as they continue their campaign push focusing on "women's rights." Today, we're digging into why it's so crucial to really understand the truth about abortion and as Christians being firm in your belief and why. We also talk about Mrs. Rachel's support for the LGBTQ+ providing a critical analysis of the bad theology presented and why it doesn't align with our Christian faith. True love, Godly love stands for truth and doesn’t twist the gospel to fit our personal narrative.

    August 16th - The Supreme Court voted 5-4 Friday to reject a Biden administration emergency request to enforce portions of a new rule that includes protections from discrimination for transgender students under Title IX. In this episode we cover the realities of standing firm in Christianity and praying for your country and those that are placed to vote in hearings that determine the course of this country. A 5-4 vote is not a landslide win, but it is a win for women, free speech, the rule of law and common sense.

    The Game theory was first developed in 1944 by mathematician John von Neumann and economist Oskar Morgenstern in their book The Theory of Games and Economic Behavior. The three basic elements of any game are: A set of participants, or "players." The moves, or "actions," that each player may make. The scores, or "payoffs," that each player earns at the end of the game. Simply put, how your daily decisions affects those around you.

    Today, society is working against the game theory. We've lost the value we once placed on relationships. We are most successful when you do life with others. The greatest hedge when it all goes down is having relationships. Today everything is transactional. We insta cart, don’t ask for help and our excuse is we don't want to be a burden. A gift is giving someone the opportunity to help and we’ve stripped that from people. The game theory has more so developed in us a different approach to life -- doing life as business and relationships are secondary. We've lost it.

    In this episode I highlight societies fascination with drama. We truly thrive on it. We want to know the latest gossip, latest "tea" and soak in the drama of those around us. Girl talk is catching up on the he said - she said and who did what. It's sad honestly. The depressing olympics thrives on drama, we comparing hurts and we shame those who choose to walk in joy and shut down the noise of negativity and drama. How backwards have we become.

    A friend of mine made the statement "I forgot how to live. I am simply surviving." That struck a chord in me as I myself was walking through postpartum and it got me thinking of the many women who may have said this exact statement, thought it or are currently feeling it. In this episode I share some heavy truths of postpartum and the reality of choosing your hard. The dark side of postpartum, while real, it is ultimately a choice to live in the pit or working until you get out of it. I also share more on the importance of sabbaticals and especially disconnecting from social media during the first couple months of postpartum.

    Postpartum is different for everyone. Our stories are uniquely different. You have the power to write the script of postpartum. You get to choose your hard.

    Rare genetic disorders are difficult to understand. They are painful to walk through. The unknown is scary. We choose however to trust an unknown future to a KNOWN God whose plans are perfect.

    In this episode I share briefly what this summer held for us as we waited for Sarah Joy's genetic testing results to come in. There is something incredibly powerful having a body of believers lock hands with you in prayer and faith praying over your little ones future. Sarah's story is being written and it beautifully unfolding.

    Content creating and social media needed to go. It was honestly so refreshing. In this episode I talk about the postpartum wall that led me to taking a sabbatical in order to figure out who Vashti is outside of being a wife and mom. Yes ladies! You have an identity outside of those titles. As beautiful as those titles are I didn't want to lose me and I encourage you to not lose you too. God designed us with a unique purpose and sometimes that can be lost in the hustle and bustle of seasons changing. I challenge you to go back to the basics. Go back to the author of your life. Take a break from the socials and enjoy the moment you're in!

    Within five years after the birth of a first child, over 40 percent percent of couples will go their separate ways. Some studies report marriages failing within 18 months after the first child is born. In this episode I share on how postpartum can affect your marriage. The areas commonly affected are:

    CommunicationIntimacyLikes/DislikesPriorities Roles

    At the end of the day marriage is work and as seasons of life shifts it requires intentionality to keep Christ and each other first. Marriages can be successful if both parties work and work together.
