Choosing Freedom

Ever felt like the name you carry, out loud or just in your heart, doesn’t match who God says you are? Let's explore what it means to be seen, named, and fully known by God. A simple coffee shop moment will take us into a deeper conversation about identity, grace, and the beautiful reminder from Acts 10:15: “Do not call anything unclean that God has made clean.” Through scripture, storytelling, and a different perspective on pray...

If you’ve ever wondered whether your past disqualifies you from living in freedom or being used by God, this episode is for you.

We will examine what scripture tells us about her encounter with Jesus and the beautiful transformation that took place from that moment forward. We reflect on the pain, shame, and spiritual battles she must have e...

Shame can feel overwhelming, making us believe we are unworthy of love or too broken to be redeemed. But Jesus sees us in our pain and meets us with endless compassion. He didn’t come to condemn but to restore, offering forgiveness and grace no matter our past. The enemy tries to whisper lies—that we are too far gone, that God could never truly love us. But the truth is, Jesus calls us beloved, redeemed, and made new. In Him, shame...

Rejection is a lie from the enemy, designed to deceive us into doubting our worth and purpose. But when we understand our true identity in Christ, we realize that we are loved, chosen, and accepted by the Creator of the universe. This truth fills the void in our hearts, replacing the emptiness of rejection with the fullness of God's unconditional love and affirmation. Knowing who we are in Christ silences the lies of the enemy and ...
