Episodes

  1. Mental Health ft Sabrina Peters | Holy and Healthy

    We’re sitting down with the amazing Sabrina Peters' and opening up an honest conversation about mental health, faith, and what it looks like to invite God into the places that feel heavy, overwhelming, or hard to talk about. Whether you’re walking through anxiety, stress, burnout, emotional...

  3. You Need Your Own Oil | Holy and Healthy

    Surprise! Welcome to the Holy and Healthy Podcast! God is doing a new thing - and we’re jumping straight in. In this episode, we talk about why you need your own oil. The necessity of taking time to sit with Jesus for yourself and protecting your time in the secret place. We cannot live off other...

  4. Did you forget to have fun?

    I love how God has waited for such a heavy season in my life to teach my the importance of having FUN everyday. And honestly, I need it. No, it isn't changing the circumstances or taking away the heaviness, but it is injecting joy into my spirit. Proverbs 17:22 tells us that a cheerful heart is...

  5. If ChatGPT were the devil...

    If you're anything like me, you probably have started using AI to help improve/automate your daily life! So why not use it to get a sense of how the devil will try to weaken our faith, to take us of the course that God has us on. I have personally fallen into many of these traps through my faith...

  6. Help My Unbelief

    A very honest reflection of where my faith is at and how I'm learning to trust God with more and more of my faith everyday. The story of the father with faith who had unbelief has been a focal point for the last few weeks. I pray this stirs your spirit to have an honest and raw conversation with...

  7. When God Feels Distant

    Your guide on what to do when God feels distant, from a girl who currently feels distant from God. It's part of the faith walk, going through periods of being on fire for Jesus, to just, not. It's so easy to let that slip and become so much greater then it needs to be. I pray these practical tips...

  8. CRAZY TESTIMONY

    I genuinely am in AWE that this is happened, and that I've made a podcast about it?! PLEASE hear my heart on this; the ONLY reason I made a podcast about this is to glorify God, and hopefully, to increase your faith as a by product. This truly is a testimony of God's love, His faithfulness, and…

  9. Wait, we're meant to actually fast?

    Okay, I'm actually growing to love fasting (which says a lot because I LOVE food!). I mean, the whole starving your flesh and forcing your Spirit man to strengthen isn't easy, BUT, it is soooo worth it. The intimacy I experience with Abba when I fast is unmatched. It genuinely makes me want to…

    more
  10. The Fullness of God

    Wow, I didn't think I would share this, but when Holy Spirit prompts you, you be obedient. My view of God is always evolving as I get to understand the scriptures on a deeper level and encounter the manifest presence of God. This is a glimpse into how my views have changed since becoming a...

  11. A Vulnerable Reflection on 2024 | Boundaries, Running, Health

    Apologies for the teary voice, but this one was real and vulnerable. I pray this encourages you, give you hope and increases your faith. God is good. If it isn't good, God isn't done. I pray a blessing over 2025. That your faith and relationship with God will be deeper and will cause living water...

  12. How's Your Purity?

    pure (adjective): not mixed or adulterated with any other substance or material. God has been talking to me about purity A LOT of late. It's taken me a while to get the courage to talk about this on the Pod, but here we go. I pray that this encourages you to draw closer to God and to seek to live…

  13. Winter Arc, But Make it Jesus

    Is anyone else getting spammed with the whole "winter arc" thing, or is it just me? Either way, the trend made me reflect on the winter we have exited here in Brisbane, and what I focused on during that time. There are four key topics that I would encourage you to do a sense check for yourself to...

  14. Jesus Doesn't Want Your Beautiful

    In a society where it is all about keeping up appearances and making sure we present a certain way, we get to come authentically and honestly to Jesus, no matter how ugly that is. I pray that if your prayer life has been surface level, this will encourage you to speak openly and boldly with the...

  15. Building Mountain Moving Faith

    WHOAAA! Holy Spirit was Holy Spiriting on this one. I have already re-listened to this three times to stir my faith and encourage myself. This episode really was for me. But if I know anything about our Abba, He doesn't want you to keep a blessing, He wants you to share it. I pray that this...

  16. Joy of the Lord | Partnering and Listening to Jesus

    John 2!! Far out, how good are the gospels?! I mean, we always know that the gospels are good, they are the Good News after all. But going through them in more detail and reading commentaries as well has been blessing me so much. I was having revelation after revelation while reading John 2. It…

    more
  17. Comparison, is it Stealing Your Joy?

    As humans, we fall into comparison easily and often if we are not mindful. I find myself easily getting caught up in the comparison game on a daily basis when I'm not careful of it. And I typically find, I'm slow to bring it to God. I tend to dwell on it myself first before I bring it to the...

  18. The Power of Prayer and Delighting in the Lord

    Offt, this episode has challenged me and my prayer life. And I can say with confidence, that I have started writing out prayer cards for people in my life, so I can proactively pray over them daily with strategy! I pray this episode encourages you to delight yourself in the Lord daily, and to…

    more
  19. Clinging to the Promise or The Promise Giver?

    The way that God really said to me, yep, you're going to share about what we're doing right now in your heart and your faith. And I said, bet. I genuinely encouraged myself as I was editing this episode, and we are PRAYING that this episode encourages and blesses you! Ask the Lord to increase…

    more
  20. What Will You Stand For?

    There is no question that we are living in trying times. Times where everyone seems to have their own truth and to an extent, you can do no wrong. In a time like this, we as Christians need to be clear on what we will stand for in the faith, even when it costs us. If you're wanting some…

  21. Sister Testimony and God's Faithfulness (ft. Steph Rice)

    Wow wow wow! It was such an honour to have my beautiful sister as the first guest on the Good To Know Podcast to share her testimony. God is doing such powerful things through you, and I cannot wait to see what He does in the future. We are praying and believing that this will set people free and...

  22. Waiting Well (raw and right now)

    When God tells you to go there, you go there. This was quite a vulnerable conversation, and I truly pray that it blesses you in your waiting. “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall...

  23. What Are You Worshipping?

    I'm currently writing this sick, and I am looking forward to praising the Lord when my health is restored! IYKYK Also, as an update, the app has been deleted, and it hasn't been re-downloaded either - confessing on here was a great accountability system. Idolatry is real. It can creep into our...

  24. Spiritual Warfare Isn't Real, Is It? (Part 2)

    Ephesians 6:13-14 "Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand FIRM then," Fall into Worship Identify Good Resist Sin Maintain Hope And yes, I am aware this in an acronym, not...

  25. Spiritual Warfare Isn't Real, Is It? (Part 1)

    Okay, this episode is verrryyyy theology/understanding heavy. And part two is going to be all the practicality side. But short answer, yes. Spiritual Warfare is very real. And as Christians, we need to understand that and equip ourselves for battle. Here is a link to the spiritual warfare sermon...

  26. How Do You Hear The Voice Of God?

    How do you hear the voice of God?? Faith is a relationship, which means there is two way communication. As believers, it is so important that we know the voice of our Father, and know how to hear Him. This is what we are unpacking today. Also, I wonder how many times I said, "I love my Bible" in...

  27. The Church Just Wants Your Money, Right?

    Yeah, we're going there. Tithing. It's a topic that to me, seems a little taboo. You don't really ask people if they tithe, you don't ask how much, and you most likely don't have accountability to tithe regularly yourself. Which can leave you questioning, why are you even doing it in the first...

  28. Are You Too Busy For Jesus?

    We're bacckkkkkkk! And we're kicking it of with a bang!! I'll be honest y'all, I did not want to share this. But the Lord impressed it on my heart to, so here we are. It a world that is so easy to get caught up in the motions and pulled in different directions, have you become too busy for Jesus?…

  29. Ep 10. Can You be Holy and Masturbate? (Part 2)

    Oh my stinking word!!! Right as I hit save to then export this episode, the entire audio file disappeared! But thank GOD I had a back-up, so I was still able to make a few edits and get this out. The enemy does not want this message going out, as there is a whole lot of vulnerability, and a lot…

    more
  30. Ep 9. Can You be Holy and Masturbate? (Part 1)

    Y'all, we are going in! No more mucking around - God has been prompting me to share more about the topics that I wish I had resources for when I became a Christian. And what better place to start than with sexual sin? Think of Part 1 as more of the appetiser for the main mean (Part 2), where I…

  31. Ep 8. But They Don't Deserve Forgiveness

    First up, apologies if the audio quality is a bit off - my main two recordings were wackkkyyy - maybe technology being weird, maybe the enemy... But we got there with the third backup! Forgiveness is a BIG topic - it's hard, it's challenging, and it goes entirely against our flesh. But we have a...

  32. Ep 7. Holy Habits for 2024

    Happy New Year everyone! 2024 has begun, and instead of fixating on resolutions, I want to challenge you to implement these seven holy habits as we move into the new year. There is no right or wrong time to start a habit, but a beginning of a new year is always a great place to start! I encourage...

  33. Ep 5. Are You Getting Real Rest?

    Sabbath, meaning: To Rest. Are you getting real rest? Personally, I don't think I rested properly until I started practising a Sabbath as a Christian. Deep rest is not something we are taught or encouraged to pursue in our society. We are living in a society that glorifies hustling and working...

  34. Ep 4. Don't Let Sin Win

    The Lord was moving in my quiet time this morning, and I needed to be set free from some lies I was believing. I felt prompted to share this as I believe God is going to set you free as well. The enemy will have a field day in our minds if we do not protest against his attacks with the word.…

    more
  35. Ep 3. Have You Let Your Dreams Die?

    “Where you do not see the hope, hold onto the faith.” Where do you turn when your hope runs out? Where you do not see a situation turning around? Where you have given up on a dream or a goal? In this weeks episode, we are going to dive into scripture and see how we can take Jesus’ approach to...

  36. Ep 2. I Don't Like Being Obedient

    Speaking honestly, which is what we do here - obedience isn't easy. It does not come naturally to us as humans, as we want to follow our own desires and ideas. Yet obedience to the Word of God is one of the most live giving things you and I can do in this life. Listen in as Court talks through…

  37. Ep 1. Let's Start at the Beginning - My Testimony

    Welcome to the first (official) episode of the Good To Know Podcast! We are feeling to blessed and excited to be on this journey with you all!

  38. Ep 6. Four of God's Names

    Christmas time - a time to reflect on the both of Jesus. There is a lot of noise around who Jesus was, and who He is. Today, we're going to look at what God say's about Himself, and how we can call on Him in our lives today ✩ :) xx Isaiah 9:3 - "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given…
