In this episode we talk more about the body of Christ. How we are not meant to be divided, no one part is more important than the other, how God appointed each of us a role and so much more. We talk about being one foot in and one foot out as Christians and how this is a call to turn our hearts over fully and without abandon. I hope that this one stirs something in you. This one is raw and straight from my heart.

In this episode we talk about the difference between patience and grace. We learn that grace is divinely given and that we don't always need to lean on our own. We talk about how grace can be exercised as a state of being and I share some personal stories of people that have been that example for me.

In this episode we visit the book of Romans. Paul gives examples here of being mature in our faith and therefore being more compassionate, accepting and forgiving. We talk about belonging, what sacrificial love is and how these times are shaping us. Are we allowing the world to shape who we are, or are our hearts fixed on God?

In this episode we revisit the book of 1 Corinthians and address my preconceived notions about Paul the apostle. We touch back on the topic of living in the age of information and how much we just accept from snippets we hear that form our beliefs. We reconcile my old beliefs that Paul banished women from teaching within the church. We go on to explore the different spiritual gifts described and ask important questions of what we have decided about the Bible or Christians view on this topic without ever actually reading it for ourselves.

In this episode we talk about the story of Peter betraying Jesus by denying he even knows him leading up to the crucifixion. However we go deeper into the story, by telling how Jesus comes back to restore Peter from his guilt.

We explore the effect of the things we hear becoming truth without question and the division amongst us as human beings. Stay tuned to the end where we beg the question, who are we anyway?

In this episode, we continue our journey up the Tree of Life, exploring the second bough—Wisdom and Understanding—as described in the Gospel of the Beloved Companion. We reflect on how ignorance and intolerance block our spiritual growth and how remembering our true identity as a soul brings healing, clarity, and peace. Drawing from the Gospels of Mary Magdalene and ancient wisdom teachings, we explore the illusions of ego, the power of Divine wisdom, and the example Jesus set for humanity. You’ll also hear personal stories of navigating conflict with compassion, sacred community, and what it means to feast at Wisdom’s table.Whether you’re on a journey of remembering, releasing, or rebuilding, this episode offers truth, encouragement, and space for deep reflection.Reflections from the pod: Click Here*******Music: https://www.bensound.comArtist: Lunar YearsLicense code: KWERYUSAOWDP8GDA

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my journey through shame, rejection, and religious trauma after becoming a single mother. I share how I felt abandoned by the church I once called home, the pain of being told I wasn’t enough, and the years I spent searching for healing through psychology, self-help, and spiritual practices—always with Jesus quietly walking beside me.Through seasons of loss, betrayal, and rediscovery, I learned that no matter how far I ran, God's love never left me. I reflect on how true peace didn’t come from striving, fixing, or proving—but from accepting God’s perfect, unconditional love.This episode is a reminder that the longing for wholeness we all carry is really a longing for God—and that through Jesus, we are already forgiven, already accepted, already loved.For reflections from the pod; Subscribe here******Music: https://www.bensound.comArtist: Lunar YearsLicense code: KWERYUSAOWDP8GDA

In this powerful episode, we explore the often unnoticed but very real existence of the spiritual flatline — those seasons of life where everything seems fine, smooth, and comfortable, yet our connection to God quietly drifts. Whether you are a believer or someone still seeking your spiritual path, the flatline is a place where prayer, worship, and intentional connection can begin to fade simply because we no longer feel desperate for God’s presence.But comfort can become the breeding ground for disconnection. Together, we reflect on how to stay awake in seasons of ease, how to cultivate gratitude, lean into service, and ask: “God, how will you use me today?”We also speak to the unique way non-believers experience spiritual flatlining — where busyness, distractions, or self-reliance can mask a quiet emptiness — and how a heart awakened to purpose, gratitude, and self-discovery can begin to rise again.This episode is an invitation for all of us to remain tender, grateful, and awake to the beauty and purpose God is weaving in every season of our lives.For reflection questions from episodes and practices visit me here https://substack.com/@pureheartspod?r=5s54qn&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=profileFollow on instagram @pure_hearts_pod******Music: https://www.bensound.comArtist: Lunar YearsLicense code: KWERYUSAOWDP8GDA

In this powerful episode, we explore the ancient and sacred story of Sophia—Divine Wisdom—who descends into the density of the material world and becomes trapped within the consciousness of humanity. Drawing from scripture, the Book of Proverbs, mystical traditions, and the writings of Mary Magdalene, we trace Sophia’s journey and her symbolic invitation to each of us: to awaken.We reflect on the deeper meaning of Pentecost—not just as a historical event, but as a spiritual reminder to reunite what’s been divided and speak the universal language of the heart. We also unveil the 7-fold spiritual path to liberate Wisdom within, a path of healing, compassion, and the reclamation of inner light.This episode invites you into personal reflection, sacred remembrance, and a return to wholeness.For a printable version of the reflection questions and the 4 weeks of practices to come to greater compassion email me at [email protected]***Music: https://www.bensound.comArtist: Lunar YearsLicense code: KWERYUSAOWDP8GDA

In this heartfelt episode, we explore one of Jesus' most powerful teachings: the Parable of the Sower. Using The Passion Translation of the Bible, we dive into the symbolic language and deeper spiritual meaning behind the metaphor of seeds, soil, and the heart. You'll hear the original parables from both Matthew and Mark, as well as reflections on why Jesus taught in riddles and allegories—meant to awaken the heart and mind.We’ll talk about the different types of soil representing the states of our hearts—hard hearts, hollow hearts, half hearts and whole hearts.—and how these affect our ability to receive spiritual truth. This episode is a gentle invitation to examine the condition of your own heart and to open up to the mysteries of the Kingdom.Whether you’re new to parables or returning to them with new eyes, may this episode bring fresh insight and inspiration.-Music: https://www.bensound.comArtist: Lunar YearsLicense code: KWERYUSAOWDP8GDA
