035: Ep 35: Sterling Shipp on Following Jesus Authentically & Medical Field Aspirations

Cousins, What if following Jesus wasn’t about pretending to be perfect, but about faithfully pursuing Him, even while you’re still growing? In Episode 35, Necia and Hailey sit down with special guest Sterling Shipp, author of My Firm Foundation: Transformative Tips for God-Seeking, College-Ready Students, for an honest conversation about following Jesus authentically in today’s world. Together, we discuss what it looks like to develop a personal relationship with Christ, extend ourselves grace when we fall short, discern healthy relationships, navigate grief, and trust God through life’s hardest questions. Sterling also shares his journey toward becoming an orthopedic surgeon, his passion for serving others, and the legacy he hopes to leave through faith, purpose, and selfless leadership. This episode is a reminder that God doesn’t call perfect people, but he calls willing hearts. Our goal isn’t to appear like we have it all together; it’s to faithfully follow Christ and give Him the glory through every season of life. Tap in, cousins, and join the conversation. What has your personal relationship with Jesus taught you about grace, growth, and trusting Him? Follow Sterling: IG: @sterlingdvon FB: Sterling Shipp & Sterling D.
