Discipleship vs. Mentorship: Why the Difference Changes Everything
In this episode, we unpack something so many of us confuse: the difference between mentorship and discipleship. We talk about how mentorship can shape your skills, confidence, and career… but discipleship transforms your identity, your heart, and the way you follow Jesus. Mentors can guide you,...

We’re All Gideons: When God Meets You in Your Fear
In this episode, we talk about Gideon: a man who was scared, hiding, unsure, and still chosen by God. His story mirrors the journey so many of us are walking today: moving from brokenness and fear into identity, healing, and calling. We explore what it looks like when the glory of the Lord meets…

Calling Starts With Being, Not Doing
Sometimes we think “calling” is about knowing exactly what to do. But more often, it’s about knowing Who to follow. In this episode, we talk about calling, not as a career or achievement, but as a response to God’s voice. We talk about what it means to be obedient, even when we don’t have all the...
-
Stop Chasing Purpose
What if purpose isn’t something we do, but something we are? In this episode, we talk about what it really means to live as God’s reflection; how purpose starts with being, not performing. When we understand that we were created in His image, every part of our story, from the ordinary to the...
-
Seeing What God Sees
Sometimes we get so focused on what’s next that we stop paying attention to what’s now. In this episode, we talk about vision, not the kind that’s all about goals and grind, but the kind that helps you see what God’s already doing in your life. We talk about how your pain, passions, and purpose…

Why Your Circle Matters
Your healing was never meant to happen alone. In this episode, we explore why your circle, of friends, family, and faith community around you, are essential for growth, healing, and purpose. We talk about the people you let into your life, how they shape your faith, and why community is one of...

Why Self-Care Is Spiritual Care
The story of discipleship isn’t just about what we do for God; it’s also about how we allow Him to care for us. In this episode, we unpack the Care Circle of the Seven Circles for Saints model: why self-care is spiritual, how neglecting it leads to burnout, and how God designed rhythms of rest…

When Sins Wound Us
Sin doesn’t just create a divide; it leaves wounds. In this episode, we talk about the marks sin leaves on our lives: the scars from our own choices, the pain caused by others, and the unseen battle of spiritual warfare that surrounds us. We explore how these wounds shape the way we see…

Understanding Sin, Brokenness, and God’s Rescue
The story of humanity begins with a divide: sin breaking our relationship with God, with others, and even with ourselves. In this episode, we unpack what that divide really means, how brokenness shows up in everyday life, and why our own efforts to bridge the gap always fall short. Most...

Who’s first in your life?
The first two commandments call us to worship God alone and turn away from idols—but idolatry isn’t just about statues or ancient practices. Today, we’re drawn to success, social status, technology, and even our own desires in ways that can quietly take God’s place in our lives. In this episode…

Created to Love
With valentine’s day being this month, and so much more for us to celebrate, we decided to talk about all the different ways God made us to love. Love between a husband and wife is definitely special, but God also gave us other loves that we can experience with our family, friends, strangers, and...
-
Obedience
For many, the word obedience can feel heavy, but in Exodus 19, we see a different perspective. God invites Israel into a covenant, not out of fear or obligation, but out of His mercy, grace, and the deliverance He provided. This "swift deliverance" from Egypt wasn’t just about freedom; it was an...
-
When God Says, “Consider Your Ways”.
This year, we’re focusing on building God’s temple. In the book of Haggai, the Israelites were discouraged and ended up building up their own houses while God’s temple remained in ruins. How was God supposed to dwell with them? Protect them? And how were they supposed to atone for their sins? It...
-
The Best Christmas Gift Ever
This Christmas, we’re hitting pause on the all the holiday chaos to talk about what really matters—the reason we celebrate in the first place. It’s easy to get caught up in gifts, parties, and Insta-worthy moments, but let’s be real: Christmas is about so much more. God gave us the ultimate gift…

Be Still
We hear “Be Still” a lot! But what does it really mean to truly…be…still? We go into Mark 4 where Jesus calms the storm and then asks the disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” It’s hard to be still when we don’t trust who God says He is and His promises. We talk about...
-
Alone with God: A Conversation with Corey Bom
Have you ever spent time alone with God? Do you know what His voice sounds like? Or do you struggle to hear Him?

God as a Father
Seeing God as a Father has taken on a deeper meaning for us as we started to reflect on the roles our own dads have played in our lives.

Take Out the Weeds
We have to be very careful about what we allow in our lives. Some things are seeds and through nourishment and consistent care, can grow into fruits that are beneficial to us, our relationship with God and others. Other things can turn out to be weeds. Distractions and lack of discernment can…
