Last episode we talked about what forgiveness is and what it isn't. In this episode, we take it a step further and dive into the HOW. Because, let's be honest, forgiveness can feel impossible sometimes!We walk through the practical stages of forgiveness, giving you real, tangible ways to process pain, release what's been held onto, and move toward freedom. More importantly, we talk about how to invite Jesus into each step—letting Him meet you in the hurt, the resistance, and the healing. If you've ever struggle to forgive or felt stuck in the process, this conversation is for you. Freedom is possible, and you don't have to get there on your own.Send Us Your Questions!

What if forgiveness isn't what you've always thought it was? In this first part of our Spring Cleaning The Heart series, we're opening the windows and letting light into one of the most misunderstood areas of our lives—forgiveness. Together we unpack what forgiveness really means (and what it doesn't), why it matters, and how it impacts our freedom, healing, and relationships. If you've ever struggled with letting go, felt stuck in hurt, or wondered what God actually asks of us when it comes to forgiving others, this conversation is for you. This isn't about minimizing pain—it's about making space for something better. Send Us Your Questions!

The week wraps up our "Counterfeit" series with one of the most important conversations yet; Counterfeit: Gospels.We're diving into messages that sound good on the surface but ultimately miss the truth: Universalism, new age beliefs, prosperity gospel, and the "vending machine" view of God where faith becomes works-based. These ideas can feel appealing, but they fall short of the real thing. The true Gospel of Jesus isn't something we earn, manipulate, or redefine— its a gift of grace and it's better than anything we could manufacture. And the truth is so good, it never gets old. If you've ever wondered what's real and what's just close enough to be convincing, this episode is for you.Send Us Your Questions!

Last week, we talked about Counterfeit Connection with God and how we often settle for surface-level habits that look spiritual but lack real intimacy. This week, we're diving deeper into how that same pattern shows up in our relationships with others. What does counterfeit connection look like in friendships, dating, and community? Why do we settle for shallow or performative relationships when we were created for something deeper? Join us as we unpack the difference between true, life-giving connection and the imitations that leave us feeling empty...and how to start building relationships rooted in authenticity and truth.Send Us Your Questions!

The enemy doesn't create—he counterfeits. In this first episode of this "Counterfeit" series, we're unpacking how one of God's greatest gifts—love—is often distorted, diluted, and disguised. The world offers versions of love that feel convicing, look passionate, and even sound spiritual...but they aren't rooted in truth. Just like a currency expert studies the authentic bill until they know every detail, we must study the real love of God so deeply that fakes become obvious. Let's talk about what real love actually looks like, why counterfeit love is so appealing, and how to stop settling for less than what God designed. Send Us Your Questions!
