Show Notes
Jesus turned water into wine, and we’re here for it. In this episode, I sit down with Gisela Kreglinger, theologian, life-long vintner and co-author of “Wine in the Word” (you have to check it out). We dive into the biblical significance of wine, why it’s more than just a drink. Gisela brings her unique perspective on wine as a sacred gift from God, and we get real about the modern-day tension between enjoying a glass guilt-free and the pressures of alcohol culture. Spoiler: Wine isn’t the problem, how we drink it is. So, should you drink wine? That’s between you and God—but this convo might just change how you see that next glass. Make sure you check our Gisela and her books!

I wanted to share a Toronto recap with you! I got home last week totally exhausted and craving a reset. So I decided to spend the day slowing down, unpacking, cooking my favorite healing chicken soup, and finally unboxing our new God’s Favorite packaging. Get my raw reactions to our packaging that we waited weeks to receive, including a divine delay that ended up turning into a revelation about the brand’s mission. God’s Favorite is launching so soon with a very exclusive, limited first drop. Join the early-access list to shop before it sells out! This vlog feels like we’re just hanging out at my house, getting our lives together. Here’s to cozy resets, divine timing, and things unfolding exactly when they’re meant to. xo Amber-Lee P.S. If you missed my first vlog, that one I kept hidden, for the real ones, it’s where I shared the full story and faith behind God’s Favorite. You can still watch it when you join the early-access list.
You were made to prosper but your toiling is getting in the way. I’ll be real with you…I’ve been hustling hard, toiling away on the God’s Favorite launch, and sometimes neglecting the one thing that actually matters: hearing from God daily. And of course…He called me out (again). Because while we were made to prosper, our toiling is what blocks the blessing. In this episode we’re getting into: * The difference between toiling vs. Spirit-led work * Why the foolish virgins’ lights went out + what it means for us * Mary & Martha vibes: intimacy with God over busywork * How old habits, distractions, and striving keep us from wisdom And because I can’t keep secrets from you guys, I’m sharing the tentative launch date for God’s Favorite (!!). The waitlist is officially open at godsfavorite.co and our first drop is super small, just for my OGs. Get on the list so you can shop it a day early before it opens to the public!
This week’s episode is all about validation. In a world of comparison and competition, I realized what people think doesn’t matter. All I care about is being God’s Favorite, which is exactly why I’m launching a new jewelry brand called, yep, God’s Favorite. You get to be the very first to sign up for our members list at godsfavorite.co to lock in early access to the collection! In today’s convo, I’m breaking down the sneaky ways we seek validation, why worldly approval will never fill us, and how anchoring your worth in God changes everything. From beauty standards to identity to that constant pull to measure up, we’re going there, and I promise, freedom on the other side feels way better. xo Amber-Lee PS: Make sure you: * Join the waitlist here * Follow God’s Favorite on Instagram
