The Rookie Christian

In Episode 43 of The Rookie Christian, we begin a brand new series about discovering God’s will for our lives.During church services, through Christian radio, and while reading In Search of God’s Will by Trevor Hudson, one question kept coming up:What exactly is God’s will… and how do we know it?For many new believers, this topic can feel confusing. Christians often say things like “seek God’s will” or “follow His direction,” but what does that actually look like in everyday life?In this episode, we talk about how discovering God’s will begins with seeking Him first, trusting Him daily, and staying grounded in Scripture.The Bible says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart… and He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5–6 NKJV)This episode is the foundation for a new series focused on learning how God leads His people.Stay close to Jesus and keep seeking Him daily.

In Episode 42 of The Rookie Christian, we finish our Psalm 23 series by breaking down verse 6.The Bible says, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” (Psalm 23:6 NKJV)This verse is a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness, mercy, and eternal promises. No matter what season of life we face, His goodness and mercy continue to follow those who belong to Him.In this episode, we talk about God’s grace through every stage of life, the confidence believers can have in Him, and the hope of dwelling with the Lord forever.We also reflect on how Psalm 23 begins with the Shepherd and ends with eternal security in God’s presence.Thank you for walking through this Psalm 23 series with me.Stay close to Jesus and keep walking with the Shepherd.

In Episode 41 of The Rookie Christian, we continue our Psalm 23 series by breaking down verse 5.The Bible says, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.” (Psalm 23:5 NKJV)This verse reminds us that God’s peace and provision are not dependent on perfect circumstances. Even in the middle of pressure, opposition, and difficult situations, God is still present, still providing, and still blessing His people.In this episode, we talk about trusting God during difficult seasons, recognizing His faithfulness, and understanding what it means to have a cup that truly overflows.If you’ve been overwhelmed by the struggles around you, this message will encourage you to focus on the ways God is still working in your life.Next episode, we’ll finish our Psalm 23 series with verse 6.Stay close to Jesus and keep walking with the Shepherd.

In this episode of The Rookie Christian, we continue our Psalm 23 series by breaking down verse 4.The Bible says, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me.” (Psalm 23:4 NKJV)This verse reminds us that even as followers of Christ, we will face difficult seasons. There will be valleys, fear, uncertainty, and moments where life feels heavy. But we are never alone, God walks with us through it all.In this episode, we talk about trusting God in hard times, finding peace in His presence, and remembering that the valley is not where we stay… it’s something we walk through.If you’re going through a difficult season right now, this message is for you.Next episode, we’ll continue with Psalm 23:5.Stay close to Jesus and keep walking with the Shepherd.

In this episode of The Rookie Christian, we continue our Psalm 23 series by breaking down verse 3.The Bible says, “He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” (Psalm 23:3 NKJV)This verse reminds us that true restoration comes from God. When life leaves you feeling empty, broken, or off track, it is the Lord who restores your soul and leads you in the right direction.In this episode, we talk about what it means to be restored, how God begins to change your life from the inside out, and why it’s all done for His name’s sake, not ours.If you’ve been feeling far from God or weighed down by your past, this message is a reminder that restoration is possible through Him.

In this episode of The Rookie Christian, we continue our Psalm 23 series by breaking down verse 2.The Bible says, “He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.” (Psalm 23:2 NKJV)This verse shows us that God doesn’t just lead us… He gives us rest.In a world full of stress, noise, and constant movement, God invites us into peace. He leads us to places where our minds can slow down and our hearts can rest in Him.If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or constantly on edge, this episode will remind you that true peace comes from following the Shepherd.Next episode, we’ll continue with Psalm 23:3.Stay close to Jesus and keep walking with the Shepherd.

In this special episode of The Rookie Christian, I take a moment to reflect on one full year of walking with Christ and sharing this journey with you.With Good Friday right around the corner, this episode brings everything back to the cross… because without the cross, there is no testimony, no growth, and no podcast.The Bible says, “It is finished.” (John 19:30 NKJV)That truth is the foundation of everything.In this episode, I talk about where I started, what God has done over this past year, and what I’ve learned about obedience, faith, and simply showing up when God calls you.If you’re new in your faith, feeling unsure, or think you’re not ready… this one is for you.Stay close to Jesus. Keep going. God can use you too.
