Being a preacher’s kid ain’t easy. The expectations, the silence, the pain—it all runs deep. But this ain’t just about church; it’s about life, love, loss, and the mess in between.

If you’ve ever felt abandoned, questioned everything, or struggled to heal, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about it!!

Hey yall hey! Let’s clear something up right out the gate: the crowd shouting “Hosanna” on Palm Sunday was not the same crowd yelling “Crucify Him” by Friday. That oversimplified version? It’s cute for a shout cue, but it doesn’t hold up under historical scrutiny.

In this episode, we’re breaking down Holy Week with fresh eyes and raw truth. We’ll explore the political tension between the Jewish people and the Roman Empire, how corru...

In a world that tells us to "just have faith" and smile through the pain, what happens to those of us who are barely holding it together? In this episode, we unpack the raw, radical truth of John 11:35—“Jesus wept.”

This ain’t your typical Sunday school lesson.

We’re talking about how the church—and the culture—silences grief, rage, anxiety, and despair in the name of faith. From the grief of Black folks during ongoing civil unrest, ...

Whew… this one right here? It’s personal. We’re closing out the Grieving the Living series and wrapping up this whole church hurt convo—and trust, we’re not holding back.

We’re talking about the kind of hurt that hits different. Hurt from leadership. Hurt from folks in the pews. The shady stuff from “secondary leadership” who swear they’re called but cause more chaos than comfort. And yeah, we’re sharing our own stories—the messy, c...

Whewwww! This was a conversation we needed to have. In this episode, I dive into the real and raw truth about Black mental health and the Black church—how our faith has been a source of healing but also, at times, a barrier to getting the help we need. We talk about why so many of us avoid therapy, the harm of over-spiritualizing mental health struggles, and, most importantly, how we can do better.

Listen, Jesus and therapy can go h...

This ain't your typical "be still and know" episode—this is real talk about one of the hardest things to do when life gets messy: keeping quiet. When your character is under attack, when lies are being spread, when people are questioning your integrity, everything in you wants to defend yourself, clap back, and set the record straight. But what if the real test isn’t in proving your point but in trusting that God alre...

Church hurt is one of the deepest wounds a person can experience because it comes from a place that was supposed to be safe, healing, and rooted in love. When that trust is broken—whether through betrayal, hypocrisy, manipulation, or exclusion—it can shake not only your faith in people but sometimes even your faith in God.


Grieving church hurt is real, and it’s necessary. It’s okay to acknowledge the pain. It’s okay to admit th...

Have you ever been ghosted? I mean talking today and they disappear tomorrow? In this episode, I’m talking about being ghosted by my best friend. We were tight, locked in, sharing dreams, secrets, and way too many inside jokes. And then? Vanished. No explanation, no closure—just radio silence. I’m breaking down the shock, the confusion, and the emotional rollercoaster of losing someone who was supposed to be forever. But more than ...

Let me gone head and ask you something—what happens when the people who should have protected you become the ones who hurt you the most? And what happens when, instead of accountability, they choose to disappear—leaving you to grieve them like they died, when really, they just couldn’t face the truth?

I didn’t walk away. I was walked away from. My father abused me. My family chose to act like it never happened. Instead of standing b...
