God Is Alive

so i'm turning 24! i will actually turn 24 the day this video posts :) but here, i get pretty deep today and talk about what birthdays mean to me, and maybe- just maybe- you can relate too. enjoy ♡

so i wanted to explain why i haven't been posting. and even after recording this video it was really hard for me to build up the courage and post it. i hope i didnt say too much & i hope you understand how walking with God is not always glamorous or easy. but it is worth it. enjoy ♡

So often I beg God for a breakthrough, and when He answers, I barely even stop to recognize it before moving on to the next problem. Maybe you’ve done the same, treating victories like they weren’t enough. In this episode, I talk about Joshua 4 and why God told His people to mark the miracle with stones of remembrance. We need to pause and remember what He’s already done, because those reminders give us faith for the battles still ahead.Today’s Song of the Day is “Testify” by NEEDTOBREATHE

Have you ever looked at something God asked you to do and thought, “Why me?” It’s easy to feel unprepared, insecure, and afraid. But the truth is, if we were fully prepared, we wouldn’t need God’s help. In this episode, I talk about Joshua’s example of stepping forward even when he didn’t feel qualified, and how God calls us to rely on His strength instead of our own. Courage isn’t pretending to be strong; it’s trusting God’s presence even when we feel weak.Today’s Song of the Day is “Good Good Father” by Chris Tomlin

When I read about people like Joshua or Paul, it’s easy to think they were extraordinary, and I’m just ordinary. That I’m too weak or too unqualified. However, the truth is, they probably felt just as ordinary as we do. Their strength came from trusting God’s presence, not their own ability. That’s why today I’m talking all about what it means to step into our bigger callings with faith, how God’s promises to Joshua still apply to us today, and why courage is really about obedience to the God who goes with us!Today’s Song of the Day is “SIMPLE” by ELEVATION RHYTHM and Joe L Barnes

I catch myself reaching for my phone without even thinking! First thing in the morning, when I’m stressed, or to fill the quiet. But the more I scroll, the emptier I feel. Today, I’m sharing why our phones can never give us the peace we’re chasing and how Scripture calls us to slow down and be still before God. I mean, even Jesus stepped away from the noise to be with the Father. If He needed it, then we definitely do!Today’s Song of the Day is “Empty as the Grave” by Josiah Queen

Faith doesn’t mean we always see the way forward; it meanstrusting the One who does. The hardest part of faith is often the unknown: What if it doesn’t work? What if I mess up? What if the outcome isn’t what I hoped for? But Scripture reminds us that faith isn’t about predicting the future,it’s about knowing who’s in control. In this episode, I talk about why faith is less about seeing the road ahead and more about trusting the God who guides every step. Today’s Song of the Day is “Slow Me Down” by The Band JAREN

Sometimes the hardest part of faith is how foolish it looks. Obedience to God often doesn’t make sense to the world. Whether it’s forgiving when it seems easier to hold a grudge or surrendering control when you’d rather take charge. Scripture is full of examples: marching around Jericho, Noah building an ark, and even Jesus on the cross. To outsiders, faith can look ridiculous! But it’s often the very thing God uses to reveal His power. In this episode, I talk about why faith doesn’t have to be understood to be real. Today’s Song of the Day is “Fight Of My Life” by Rend Collective

So many of us measure our worth by what we do, such as our successes, our failures, and our performance. But that constant striving only leads to burnout, insecurity, and shame. God’s view of your worth isn’t based on how well you perform! It’s based on who He says you are. In this episode, I talk about why we confuse grace with performance, that our value isn’t earned, and what it looks like to rest in God’s already given love!Today’s Song of the Day is “Hard Fought Hallelujah” by Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll

Should Christians be trying to live sin-free lives? In this episode, I discuss why sanctification is a refining process, how stumbling is a natural part of growth, and why the ultimate goal is a Spirit-led life, not a sin-free one. If you’ve ever wrestled with guilt and wondered if you’re enough, this conversation will bring freedom. Hebrews reminds us that sin always overpromises and underdelivers, but the answer isn’t perfection; it’s faithfulness. God never expected us to be flawless, but rather to keep choosing Him, even in the midst of struggle. Today’s Song of the Day is “I need you more” by Josiah Queen and Henrik

A lot of us say, “I don’t know what God is calling me to do” oreven “I know what God is calling me to do,” but maybe the real question is, can we obey fully even if we don’t have all the details? Abraham had to trust God without a map, and so do we. Faith means trusting the One who makes the way,not needing to see every step. In this episode, I talk about how obedience often comes before direction, why we sometimes confuse God’s will with our desire for control, and how to start walking in His calling!Today’s Song of the Day is “Can’t Steal My Joy” by Josiah Queen and Brandon Lake

It’s easy to feel far from God, to maybe feel like He’s disappointed, frustrated, or pulling away because we’ve messed up again. That spiritual anxiety makes us think our relationship with Him is a contract: “If I keep my end, He’ll keep His.” But Hebrews and Jeremiah remind us that God’s covenant isn’t built on our perfection; it’s built on His promise. In this episode, I talk about what it means to live like forgiveness is already ours, why we don’t have to earn God’s love, and how we can confidently draw near to Him.Today’s Song of the Day is “I Am Yours” by NEEDTOBREATHE

When you’re reading the Bible, it’s easy to skip over genealogies, priests, and sacrifices and wonder why they matter. However, Hebrews reveals a larger purpose behind the old priestly system, pointing to something far greater. The sacrifices never fully solved the problem of sin, but they set the stage for the One who would. In this episode, I delve into the origins of the priesthood, its significance for Israel, and what it reveals about Jesus for us today. Today’s Song of the Day is “Growing Pains Pt.2” by LEVATIONRHYTHM and Mitch Wong

Trusting God sounds simple, but living it out is one of the hardest things we face. Abraham knew that struggle, and even though he was promised descendants, he waited years with no sign of change. I mention Hebrews 6 because it points us to the hope Abraham held onto, a hope that didn’t come from what he could see, but from the God who promised. In this episode, I talk about what it really means to trust God when life feels silent, and why His faithfulness is stronger than our doubts.Today’s Song of the Day is “Trust in God” by Elevation Worship and Chris Brown

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active! Many of us are seeking to find ourselves through style, success, or self-discovery. But what if the answer isn’t found in a mirror? In this episode, I’m sharing how we truly find ourselves by looking at Jesus. He shows us who we were created to be, which is to be loved, valued, and made to reflect His nature. We don’t need a better version of ourselves; we just need a clearer view of Him.Today’s Song of the Day is “Lead Me” by Santus Real

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!I know what it feels like to want to avoid God when we’re struggling or ashamed. But God already sees everything and still invites us close. In today’s episode, I’m sharing how we don’t have to fix ourselves up or hide what we feel. God fully sees us, fully knows us, and fully welcomes us. When we draw near to Him, He meets us with grace, not judgment. That’s the God we get to come close to.Today’s Song of the Day is “Your Cross Is Everything” by The Band JAREN

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!I’ll be honest, I like being comfortable. I like staying in what feels safe. But growth doesn’t happen there. Jesus Himself grew through suffering, and if He went through pain, why do we think we won’t? In this episode, I’m sharing how God uses our hardships not to punish us, but to grow us. We can either avoid what’s hard or step into it knowing He’s with us, helping us grow stronger through what feels uncomfortable.Today’s Song of the Day is “Forgiven” by Crowder

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!I’ve been there just wanting a clear sign from God. Something obvious. But the truth is, God already spoke through Jesus. He’s not distant or silent. He’s holding the entire universe together and still speaks through His Word today. In this episode, I’m sharing how we don’t need to wait for thunder or signs to know God’s heart. We can trust what He’s already said and hold onto His mercy when life feels like it’s falling apart.Today’s Song of the Day is “Survivor” by Zach Williams

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!I know what it’s like to feel burnt out and overwhelmed when it comes to reading the Bible. Life is busy, and sometimes it feels easier to scroll than open the Word. But God isn’t asking us to read out of obligation, He wants to meet with us. In this episode, I’m sharing how I approach the Bible without turning it into a chore, and how you can find peace and refreshment in His presence again.Today’s Song of the Day is “PRAISES (remix)” by ELEVATION RHYTHM & Forrest Frank

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!Even when we’re saved, we’re still human. We still feel tempted. We still want things God asks us to walk away from. That doesn’t make you weak—it proves the war is real. In this episode, I talk about how freedom isn’t the absence of temptation, but trusting God even when the desire is still there. The enemy wants you to feel ashamed of your craving. But Jesus wants you to bring it to Him. You’re not defined by the pull—you’re defined by who you belong to.Today’s Song of the Day is “What I Was Made For” by Rend Collective

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!Our world chases power, status, and strength. Then the cross shows up—bloody, weak, and nailed to a criminal’s death. It looks like failure. But that’s where the gospel flips everything. In this episode, I talk about why the cross sounds foolish to the world but is the power of God to save. Humility over pride. Surrender over strength. Love over control. The cross is offensive because it tells us we can’t save ourselves, but it also tells us we’re already loved. Today’s Song of the Day is “Money Can’t Buy” by Cochren & Co.

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!Have you ever looked around and thought, What am I even doing here? This world is loud, fast, and full of pressure to prove your worth. But just because you feel small doesn’t mean you are. In this episode, I talk about the crisis that hits when life feels too big and you feel too behind—and how God doesn’t measure your value by your pace, productivity, or platform. You are already worthy. You’re not too late. And none of this hustle defines you.Today’s Song of the Day is “Another One” by ElevationWorship & Chris Brown

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!Sometimes sin becomes so common around us that we forget it’s even sin. It creeps into our habits, our language, our thoughts—until darkness starts to feel like light. But sin doesn’t stop being sin just because it feels familiar. In this episode, I talk about how God's righteousness is a gift, not something we earn, and why He lovingly calls us away from the things that numb us, chain us, or damage our relationship with Him. He wants freedom, not limitation—clarity, not confusion. Today’s Song of the Day is “Who Can” by Cochren & Co.

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active! Sin doesn’t just tempt us because it’s wrong—it tempts us because it offers relief. It feels like escape, like comfort, like control. But it’s not real peace. It numbs the very parts of us God wants to heal. The more we run to sin, the more we stay stuck. In this episode, I discuss how only God can provide the kind of peace that gets us through pain, not just around it. He doesn’t want us to numb out—He wants us to live whole, free, and present.Today’s Song of the Day is “Praise Him Forever” by Jervis Campbell

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!You want to follow God, but there’s still a pull. That doesn’t make you a bad believer—it means you’re in the fight. Sin can look like relief when you’re afraid or empty. It promises control or comfort. But when Jesus says “lay it down,” He’s not scolding you—He’s inviting you to come closer. God doesn’t wait for you to clean yourself up. He meets you in the middle of the mess. Real change is hard, but every day you go to Him is already part of the reward.Today’s Song of the Day is “UPS & DOWNS” by Forrest Frank

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!Sometimes we drift. Life gets busy, prayer feels distant, and temptation creeps in—worry, anger, doubt. We stop reading the Word. We feel far from God. But the truth is, He hasn’t moved. This doesn’t mean you’ve lost your salvation. It means He’s sanctifying you. Grace doesn’t have a quota. Your weakness doesn’t disgust Him. Salvation isn’t the absence of struggle—it’s Christ’s presence in it. If you feel the pull to sin, don’t run away in shame. Go to Him. Let Him remind you what’s still true.Today’s Song of the Day is “My God Is Still The Same” by Sanctus Real

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!Jesus promised eternal life—but what does that actually look like? In this episode, I explore what Scripture says about our future: glorified bodies, reigning with Christ, and dwelling in a new heaven and new earth without pain, sorrow, or death. Even with all the beautiful details the Bible gives us, it’s still beyond anything we can imagine. Everything we endure now—both good and bad—pales in comparison to what’s coming! We’re not just passing time here… we’re being prepared for a Kingdom beyond anything we’ve ever known. Today’s Song of the Day is “Church (Take Me Back)” byCochren & Co.

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!When we hear “hell,” we imagine fire, torment, and screaming forever—but that image doesn’t come from the Bible. In this episode, I break down what Scripture actually says about hell. Jesus used the word Gehenna, not the modern idea of eternal conscious torment. The Bible consistently teaches that the wicked will perish, not suffer forever. From the Old to the New Testament, the message is clear: the punishment is destruction, not endless torture. This truth is freeing, and God truly is a just and merciful God. Today’s Song of the Day is “Jesus Paid it All” by Forrest Frank

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active! A lot of people seem to prefer the New Testament to the Old Testament—but it’s all part of the story. Jesus didn’t just show up out of nowhere. The Old Testament is filled with sacrifices, laws, priests, prophets, and covenants that all point to Him. In this episode, I walk through how every part of the OT reveals our need for grace and how Jesus fulfilled every promise, prophecy, and requirement. When you read both the Old and New Testaments together, you see just how perfect God’s plan really is!Today’s Song of the Day is “Hideaway” by NEEDTOBREATHE

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!So many of us hide our light out of fear—fear of judgment, rejection, or standing out. But Jesus calls us to shine. In this episode, I talk about why we tend to dim ourselves and how Scripture reminds us that our light isn’t for our glory—it’s to bring truth, clarity, and hope to a hurting world. You weren’t made to blend in. You were made to shine, to live with purpose, and to help others see God. Today’s Song of the Day is “YOUR WAY’S BETTER” by Forrest Frank

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!It’s hard when people cross our boundaries, especially when we’re called to love like Jesus. But love doesn’t mean being a doormat. In this episode, I talk about how even Jesus set boundaries and how Scripture allows us to walk away from situations that drain us. We’ll look at biblical verses that support healthy boundaries and how to apply them in a loving, wise, and obedient way to protect ourselves and honor God.Today’s Song of the Day is “Rescue” by Jordan St. Cyr

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!In this episode, I break down Jesus’ parable of the Sower and talk about why some people fall away from faith — and why others don’t. Because it’s not about the seed; it’s about the soil. Today, I go through the four types of heart responses to God’s Word and help you reflect on your own. So, if you’ve ever wondered why some people drift from God, or how to stay rooted yourself- well, let’s talk about it!Today’s Song of the Day is “Goodness of God / O Praise theName” by Mass Anthem

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!In this episode, we’re talking about the number 40 (in the Bible) and why it matters a lot more than we think. From Noah to Moses, from Jesus to Jonah, the number 40 shows up in seasons of waiting, testing, and transformation. If you’ve ever felt stuck or like God’s silent, this episode will remind you that the wilderness is never wasted. God is still working, and your waiting might be the setup for something amazing!Today’s Song of the Day is “love you to death” byJosiah Queen & Strings And Heart

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!In this episode, I reflect on Matthew 4:18–22 and the moment Jesus called His first disciples. They didn’t hesitate — they dropped everything and said yes. That made me ask: why is it so hard for us to do the same? I talk about what can hold us back, how God uses our natural gifts for His mission, and why trusting Him doesn’t require knowing every detail — just faith. So, if you’ve ever struggled to say yes to God, this one’s for you!Today’s Song of the Day is “Better Than I Ever Thought” by Rend Collective

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!In this episode, I’m diving into what a true heart for Godactually looks like — not religion, not performance, but the kind of heart Jesus praised in the Beatitudes. I walk through Matthew 5:3–12 and share how each trait reflects a heart that’s fully surrendered to Him. This isn’t about surface-level faith — it’s about hunger, purity, mercy, and even enduring rejection for His name. Let’s talk about how rare this kind of heart is and why it’s worth pursuing.Today’s Song of the Day is “Fake Love” by ELEVATION RHYTHM

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active! I used to struggle so much with reading the Bible—until I realized I was reading it all wrong. It’s not a book about me, it’s a book about God. In this episode, I share something that completely blew my mind: Isaiah mentioned Galilee 700 years before it even existed. That moment reminded me that even when we don’t understand what God is doing, He’s always working. His timing is perfect. His plans are real. And He always comes through.Today’s Song of the Day is “Banks” by NEEDTOBREATHE

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!Why does temptation always seem to hit where we’re weakest? In this episode, I break down Satan’s strategy and how he uses the same three tactics against us that he used against Jesus in Matthew 4:1-11—attacking our identity, testing our trust in God, and tempting us with worldly desires. But Jesus showed us exactly how to fight back. We’ll uncover how to stand firm in God’s truth, resist temptation, and walk in victory. The enemy has a strategy—but so does God.Today’s Song of the Day is “Unstoppable God” by Elevation Worship

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!Why would Jesus, the sinless Son of God, take part in baptism? If baptism is about repentance, what was the purpose of Jesus stepping into the Jordan River? In this episode, I break down the deeper meaning behind His baptism, its connection to Old Testament prophecy, and how it marked the beginning of His ministry. Could this moment reveal something even greater about God’s plan? Let’s dive in!Today’s Song of the Day is “One Day” by Cochren & Co.

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God, including how He is alive and active!Was John the Baptist really Elijah? In this episode, I break down the Old Testament prophecy about Elijah’s return and how John fulfilled it. Malachi 4:5-6 foretold a forerunner before the Messiah, and Jesus Himself confirmed that John came in the spirit and power of Elijah. We’ll explore how John’s mission to prepare the way for Jesus aligns with Isaiah 40:3 and why many people missed this fulfillment. God’s plan always unfolds exactly as He promises—just not always as expected.Today’s Song of the Day is “God So Loved” by We The Kingdom

In this episode, I break down the different types of baptism—water baptism, Holy Spirit baptism, and what "fire" truly represents. We explore the biblical foundation behind baptism, Jesus’ words in John 3:5, and the prophecy in Malachi about refining fire. Is baptism just a ritual, or is it a deep, spiritual transformation? Let’s dive into the meaning behind this powerful process and how God purifies us like silver in fire. Today’s Song of the Day is “Egypt (Live)" by Bethel Music & Cory Asbury

Hi, my loves! Welcome, or welcome back, to God Is Alive! My name is Serena :) Here, I speak about God including how He is alive and active!

We dive into Scripture, explore why knowing Jesus matters more than outward actions (Matthew 7:21-23), and discuss how to worship in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24).
