if you’re frustrated with the men in your life, it’s time to look at your standards... AND your standards of God. because the truth is, if your view of Him is shallow, your expectations for men will be too.
what i talk about:
✨ why you can’t expect a man to lead, protect, and honour you if you don’t even know what that looks like in God’s Word
✨ the dangers of settling for “good enough” and why it always leads to frustration
✨ how godly men lead in purity, purpose, and spiritual authority - don’t settle for less
✨ why your own relationship with God sets the tone for the kind of man you’ll acceptscriptures i mention:
proverbs 31:10 – "an excellent wife who can find? she is far more precious than jewels."2 corinthians 6:14 – "do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers."ephesians 5:25 – "husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her."psalm 37:4 – "delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart."matthew 6:33 – "but seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness."proverbs 4:23 – "keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life."if you’re out here settling for men who don’t reflect Christ, you need to pause. your standards of a man will only rise when your intimacy with God deepens. the closer you walk with Him, the clearer you’ll see what you deserve.

so many of us believe in the power of God’s forgiveness but still hold on to shame, guilt, and condemnation.
romans 8:1 – "there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."isaiah 43:18-19 – "remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?"psalm 103:12 – "as far as the east is from the west, so far does He remove our transgressions from us."2 corinthians 5:17 – "therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. the old has passed away; behold, the new has come."hebrews 10:14 – "for by a single offering He has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified."isaiah 53:5 – "but He was pierced for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities; upon Him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with His wounds we are healed."1 john 1:9 – "if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."ephesians 1:7 – "in Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace."galatians 5:1 – "for freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery."joel 2:25-26 – "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten."
but that's a life of bondage because we can't truly recognise the gravity of Christ’s sacrifice and the freedom we now have in Him.
what i talk about:
✨ how unforgiveness of self is a rejection of God’s sovereignty
✨ the difference between conviction and condemnation (and how the enemy uses guilt to keep us trapped)
✨ the Old Testament vs. the new covenant of grace through Jesus
✨ why forgiving yourself isn’t about dismissing sin, but about surrendering it to God
✨ practical steps to release shame and walk in freedom
God’s forgiveness is final, sufficient, and complete. i pray this episode encourages you to embrace His grace fully and let go of the weight you’ve been carrying 💕

main character syndrome... we’ve all been there.
the world tells us to put ourselves first, chase our truth, and make everything about us. but let’s be real: when we make ourselves the centre of the universe, we’re at war with God.in this episode, i get real about how self-glorification (aka main character syndrome) directly opposes God’s purpose for our lives. i unpack why striving for control, validation, and self-exaltation doesn’t lead to freedom but to bondage.
what i talk about:
✨ what main character syndrome is and how it wars against God’s authority
✨ why putting yourself above God leads to spiritual emptiness
✨ the dangers of pride and self-glorification (spoiler: it never ends well)
✨ how to let go of control, surrender daily, and trust God fully
✨ the freedom, peace, and joy that come from living a life centred on Christscriptures i mention:
john 3:30 – "He must become greater; i must become less." matthew 6:33 – "but seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."proverbs 16:18 – "pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall." luke 9:23 – "if anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me."philippians 2:3-4 – "do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others."Send me a message!

faith without relationship? it doesn’t work.
today i'm talking about why true faith is rooted in a deep relationship with God and not in striving for spiritual achievements or trying to “will” ourselves into faith.what i talk about:
why faith begins with knowing who God is, not striving to believe harderhow our relationship with God transforms our trust in Himthe importance of going back to the basics of the Gospel to build solid faithhow reading and reflecting on the Word helps us understand God’s characteri also am open and honest about my personal journey of learning to trust God in difficult seasons.
faith isn’t something we conjure up... it grows from spending time with the One who is faithful. when you stop striving and start trusting, you’ll discover the boldness, confidence, and peace that comes from truly knowing God.
i pray this episode encourages you to lean into your relationship with God, reflect on His Word, and let Him grow your faith 💕

that thing God called you to do—why haven’t you started it yet?
if you’ve been feeling convicted about putting off what you know He’s asked of you, i get it - but i'm encouraging you to not drown in excuseswhat i talk about:
why we make excuses for not acting on God’s callinghow we often prioritise comfort and logic over obediencethe reality of surrendering to God’s plans, even when they’re inconvenienttrusting His timing and leading, even in small stepsscriptures that remind us of our purpose and God’s desire for our obedienceit’s time to stop overthinking and start moving in faith. God’s calling is intentional, loving, and full of purpose, but it requires us to step out, trust, and act.
i pray this episode encourages you to listen to His voice, set aside the excuses, and pursue what He’s put on your heart.
you are SO purposeful. in fact God created you on purpose, for a purpose. so you’ve got this, and God’s with you every step of the way.Send me a message!

homegirls... this week i am hurt.
why no political figure or party should be placed above Jesushow idolatry can creep in when we let politics consume us why unity in the body of Christ matters more than winning an argument how to navigate political differences with understanding and love
this episode dives into a topic that’s been weighing on my heart and i feel like it would be wrong to ignore: politics. particularly american politics.
the recent election has stirred strong opinions - fine. it's opened people's eyes to their opinions - fine. but what it's also done is that it's caused anger and divide within not just the world but the body of Christ.
it’s easy to let political preferences create division where there should be unity. but here's the truth – the divide we see isn't biblical.
what i talk about:as believers, we need to lead with love, compassion, and the reminder that our faith binds us more than any political stance.
let’s learn to listen, understand, and keep our eyes on the One who is above it all. i pray this episode helps you reflect, reset, and put unity in the body of Christ first 💕Send me a message!

so many of us want christian friends, but when we look around, we’re either alone or surrounded by friends who aren't following God.
this episode dives into the real reasons behind that, from where we’re spending our time to how open we are to finding and keeping those god-centered friendships.what i talk about:
the importance of community in faith and why christian friendships matterhow building christian friendships goes beyond just attending churchthe impact of being around people who challenge and sharpen us spirituallypersonal experiences of finding friends who are different from me but who help me grow closer to Jesustrue friendships aren’t about perfection but are built on the promises of God and a true reflection of His desire for us to be in community. i pray this convicts you and gives you a good perspective on moving forward 💕

hey homegirls! in this episode, i’m getting real about something i see a lot in our culture – how easy it is to use God as a way to elevate ourselves, rather than truly seeking Him for who He is.
it’s everywhere, and honestly, i get it.
deep down, a lot of us crave recognition, approval, or success, and a lot of the time we bring these desires right into our faith to the point where it's not even about our faith.here’s what i talk on:
the ways christian culture can promote a surface-level, self-glorifying faith that misses the pointhow social media is accustoming us to blend worldly desires with our faith, sometimes more than we realiserealigning with God’s purpose over our own, seeing worship and growth as ways to know Him deeply, not just ways to succeedthis episode is for anyone who may be treating faith like a self-glorifying booster rather than a humble refining experience with the Most High. i pray it helps you to take a step back, reassess, and grow closer to God’s true purpose for you 💕

hey homegirls, this episode is a REAL one.
i’m getting honest about something that’s been on my heart lately – how discipline, when not rooted in God, can slip into self-righteousness.
i delve into my personal journey of rediscovering my purpose, especially in content creation, and the challenges i’ve faced trying to balance my discipline with my faith.
here’s what i talk on:
the struggle of relying on my own strength vs. God’show fear and pride can sneak into our efforts, even when we think we’re doing the right thingthe tension between being stressed out like martha and surrendering like maryi also talk about how the Holy Spirit has been working on my heart, reminding me that success in God’s eyes isn’t about numbers or output but about obedience and trust.

girlllllll. this is a top i know none of you wanna talk about but we have to talk about it!
how thinking too heavily of 'self' can impact youidols and why putting yourself as an idol is the worst idea everwhy Jesus' love is better than our love
the world is so heavily consumed with self to the point where it's beginning to literally seep into christian culture. but why? is this God's plan?
and on a surface level, self-love is the very thing you should have as a human. surely that's a completely innocent, good thing that God would want you to have. well... it's more complex than that.
in this episode, i'll be talking about...
it's one of those topics where it sounds hard hitting and overwhelming, but when you truly know God's heart on it, i pray it takes the weight away.
God wants the very best for you, and leaning on yourself to provide yourself the best simply isn't HIS BEST <3Send me a message!

hey homegirlssssss.
you probably gave this title the side eye and i get it. i struggled with understanding and even agreeing with God’s rules for a HOT MINUTE.
if you’ve ever felt guilty, confused, or frustrated trying to live up to what it means to be a 'good Christian,' you’ll definitely relate.
but God's idea of you following His rules aren't what you think.in this episode, i talk all about...
why you need to acknowledge God's love FIRSTwhat the grace of God really means for youwhy God's rules make sensehow recognising His holiness was what took me to the next leveli pray this gives you an insight into the Father's heart <3

hey homegirls, it’s ya gurlll (if you remember me).
how i’m learning to balance ambition with my faithrealising my job isn’t my real purposeletting go of control and letting God lead
it’s been a while, and life’s been a bit all over the place soooo keeping up with the podcast has been put on the back burner. but i'm back and this episode will explain.
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about my job and the drive i've had for it – especially with goals like saving for a house (gotta love adulting).
the real issue though, is that I realised i’ve been putting my job before EVERYTHING – even God...
and if i'm honest, it’s SO easy to let work take over and turn it into an idol, especially with how society tells you you gotta be earning 6 figures by the time you're 30. (so not realistic btw)
in this episode, i dive into...basically, this is just a brain dump of where i'm at and how God’s challenging me to rethink things.
i pray this episode gets you thinking about the idols you might not even realise you've made in your heart... KNOWING that God is greater.Send me a message!

some would say church has no use for them - and i was one of them. being raised in church can either make you a lover of church or a hater of it. and maybe hate was a strong word but i definitely had strong feelings about it. even as a christian those feelings didn't immediately go away but in this episode i delve into my feelings and how i challenged myself to get out of my comfort zone and find a church community where i truly feel at home.

controversial title i know. but He does.
is it necessary?does it harm my saving plans?(and the worst one) do i deserve it?
i recently bought a new macbook air... scary. i didn't want to spend that level of money, i was tight fisted, holding on to my money. but then i realised: it's not my money. it's God's.
i'm a frugal person and my first thoughts when spending money on anything are:but if i truly sat and got in my word I would discover one thing: God is a God of abundance and He delights in blessing His WORTHY children.
but i thought i was a sinner not worthy of anything? if you look at yourself in the lens of the enemy, you will see that, but if you look at yourself in the lens of Christ, you'll see the opposite. it's time to reframe your mind and let God show you how valuable you are and how much you deserve things that bring you value.Send me a message!

“you are what you listen to” is a phrase my mum would drill into me as a child.
did it truly understand what it meant? no.
do i understand it now as i reflect on the things i consumed and how they impacted me, both mentally & spiritually? yes.
but it’s a road that i don’t ever think i’ll get to the end of. we have to convict ourselves constantly about our mental diet and whether it’s glorifying to God.
in this episode, we delve into what things we need to be mindful of, such as TV, social media, influencers, politics, and music, as well as the things i personally have been convicted on.Send me a message!

every single one of us struggles with words. whether that's:
words of negativitywords of gossipwords of vulgaritywords of insultswe all come out with things that do not reflect God. but the strange thing is, do we take as much note of them as we would our outward sins?
the Bible tells us "the tongue is a world of unrighteousness" with the capability of causing mass destruction. do we ever think about how that destruction is not just outward but inward too?
continuing in the 'guard your heart' series, i delve into how words not only come from the heart but can further poison it and take us away from a relationship with God.Send me a message!
