This week's episode I discuss what it looks like when your expectations of serving within the Kingdom of God don't line up with your reality or with how you see others living out their assignments. The western/modern image of someone who has a high calling in the kingdom of heaven is equated with followers, views, social recognition and stages and I've been trying to keep up. I've been trying to "prove" that I deserve to be here or that I can steward these things in my life and my view and pe...

On today's episode I talk about learning to take my hands off of things and let the Lord work, preparing to teach at a church for the first time in years, and wrestling with the question of when God is going to restore the years that the locusts have eaten. I explore that question under the scripture found in Joel chapter 2 and God's promise of restoration. I've been struggling to understand why it sometimes feels like the locusts just keep devouring and destroying, not only in my own life b...
I was invited to speak at Penfield Church and taught on the story of Job- how it presents a tension and a wrestling with a question at one point or another we all have- is God good? I dive into the root of why we ask if God is good, the difference between God and Satan and what feels good to us versus what is good for us.

On today's episode I talk about the conversation I had with Devin Wilbourn, the heaviest and most emotionally charged episode we have done on this podcast so far, and the things that have been sitting with me ever since. If you haven't listened to both parts of that interview yet, go back and start there, because today is kind of an addendum to it. I talk about what it was like to sit across from someone who was essentially a stranger to me and hear his story for the first time right alongsi...
This week we are back with Part 2 of my conversation with Devin Wilbourn, husband, father, entrepreneur and founder of The Quiet Church. If you have not listened to Part 1 yet, go back and start there, because this one picks up right where we left off and goes even deeper. On this episode, Devin shares about the season when the Lord told him he couldn't work for money, what that obedience cost him, and the unexpected loss of his parents. He tells us what the Lord said to him in the middle of...
This week I am so excited to have my very first out-of-town guest on the podcast! Devin flew in from San Antonio, Texas to sit on the couch with me for one of the most cathartic conversations yet. Devin is a husband, father, entrepreneur and the founder of The Quiet Church, a ministry that started almost by accident on TikTok and YouTube. He brings so much honesty and a testimony that had both of us reaching for the tissues. On this episode, we discuss how the Lord told Devin to start preach...
