“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” - Luke 9:23In this episode, I’m diving into something the Lord has been pressing on my heart: Jesus didn’t call us to comfort, he called us to carry a cross.I share a story that started off as a fun little birthday bike ride… and turned into a full-blown sermon from the Holy Spirit. What I thought would be an easy, scenic trip ended up showing me so much about the reality of the Christian walk, it’s not easy, and it’s not supposed to be.If you’ve ever felt tired, or caught off guard by how hard following Jesus can be, I want you to know, you’re not alone!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

EP 80: When Your Faith Feels Faded - Inside Burnout & Spiritual Renewal
This week I sat down with Norris Johnson III and we talked about what it really looks like to serve God when you’re spiritually empty, and how the Acts 2:42 conference became a turning point for him, a moment where the Lord met him in the middle of burnout and reignited the fire he thought he’d lost.As we unpacked his journey, we dug deep into what it means to die to self and to truly walk in sonship instead of striving to be used by God. We also explored the weighty call to be a “living sacrifice” like Romans 12 teaches, the danger of blending culture with Christianity, and how sometimes God will protect us from the very blessings we’re not ready to carry. This episode doesn’t just inspire, it challenges and calls us back to the altar.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

EP 79: A Heart Close to the Father
Hey fam! In this week's episode, I’m diving into one of the most meaningful parables to me, the story of the Prodigal Son.Lately, I’ve been studying Luke 15 and reading through The Prodigal God by Timothy Keller with my Village community on Patreon & the Lord has been showing me how easy is is to either run from Him or try to earn His love, and how both can lead us far from the Father’s heart.Whether you’re like the younger son who wanders off or the older son in the field, I pray this conversation helps you see just how deeply God loves you, and how near He wants us to be.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

EP 78: True Worship
What if worship isn’t just what you sing… but how you live? In this week's episode I sat down with my dear friend and fellow podcaster, Pastor Ebenezer Endiryas, for a conversation that deeply challenged me, and I believe it’s going to do the same for you. We unpack what Romans 12 really means when it says to present your body as a living sacrifice. That’s not just poetic language, that’s a call to daily obedience. And let’s be honest, real obedience doesn’t always feel good. Sometimes it looks like saying “yes” when no one sees it, and when it costs you something you love.Let this be a reminder. God is after your heart, not your highlight reel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

EP 77: Unveiling the Hidden Heart (Part 2)
Welcome back fam! This week Jackie Hill Perry joins me again for part two of our podcast. In this episode we’re talking about Christian content creation, conviction, repentance, and what it looks like to stay faithful to God, even when the algorithm is loud. We also discuss why some content might be getting clicks but isn’t making disciples, the temptation to chase platforms instead of the presence of God, and the difference between strategy and surrender. I pray this episode encourages you, and draws you closer to the Lord!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
