A heartfelt story about helping friends honor God in their marriage by keeping things simple. When life gets complicated, it’s often a reminder that God cares more about our hearts than the details. Let’s not overcomplicate what was meant to be simple.

God isn’t after your performance—He’s after your heart. In this episode, we explore what it really means that God looks at the inward parts, and how pursuing Him leads to true healing, transformation, and intimacy beyond religion.

For years, I believed I was fatherless—until God revealed I was never without a Father. In this episode, I share how He healed my identity, showed me I was created with purpose, and how His love redefined everything—even down to the cellular level.

Fishing this morning reminded me: don’t fall for the bait—offense, pride, self-will. The enemy casts traps that feel right but lead us away from God. Be like the fish—resilient. Choose love, not ego. Forgive. Let go. Happy Father’s Day. 🎣 #DontTakeTheBait #LoveLikeJesus

I once met a psychic at Seaport Village. As she did her reading, a gust of wind knocked over her sun god statue—confirmation of a word God gave me months before. She needed peace, not preaching. I showed her how to meet the Prince of Peace. He did the rest.

Life has a spiritual layer—but don’t force it. Let God speak naturally. Simplicity leaves room for clarity. When we overthink, we miss the moment. Stay open, stay grounded, and don’t make it weird. Let life breathe and let God move.

Jesus said if you drink from Him, you’ll never thirst again. I learned that the hard way—dehydrated in Phoenix heat, nearly ended up in an ambulance. But even in my foolishness, His grace showed up. Drink water. Drink from Him. His well never runs dry. 💧

A seed must go into the ground and die before it produces fruit… Much like the transformation of one's heart.

Just love. When we love well, Jesus is revealed. That’s the episode. Simple, honest, real.

When God repeats Himself, it’s not for Him—it’s for us. We still haven’t learned to love one another. But when we realize how deeply we’re loved, judgment fades. Even delays—like this train—remind me: you’re loved. Now go love someone else like that.

We complicate what God made simple. He said, “Write it down, make it plain”—but we overdo it, add more, and end up burnt out. Just do what He said. Simple > extra. 🥴

We all fall short—inside and out. Sin isn’t just what’s visible; it’s the stuff hidden in the heart. Grace is real, but so is accountability. Let’s stop pretending and just come clean—before God and each other. None of us are without fault. Let’s be honest.

Love isn’t keeping a list of offenses. It’s giving grace. If we’re gonna be known by love, we’ve got to let go of our judgments. God’s mercy is bigger than our opinions.

Yesterday didn’t go as planned—unexpected delays, late to my appointment, all of it. But I was reminded: we always have a choice in how we respond. God calls us to be childlike in faith, not childish in reactions. Choose grace over pride. Choose His way.

We’re called to be childlike, not childish. Stop pointing fingers—tend your own garden. Deal with the little foxes: judgment, bitterness, offense. God doesn’t change—His mercy still reigns. Don’t miss Jesus trying to be right. Let Him be God. Love well. Grow up.

Sometimes life doesn’t go as planned—and that’s okay. We fight to stay in control, but real peace comes from resting in God, not forcing our way. Discernment isn’t just spotting the enemy—it’s recognizing when it’s actually God redirecting us. Walk with Him.

How someone treats you isn’t your responsibility. How you respond is. Don’t let offense steal your Christ-nature. Every trial is a chance to look more like Jesus.

Cloudy mornings in the desert are beautiful—but today it’s already 80° at 6:18am. More than the weather, I’m reflecting on how easy it is to build identity around what we do. But God calls us to root who we are in Him—not in titles, roles, or platforms.

Renew your mind. Don’t brace for lack. Expect His goodness. Set your mind on things above—His mercy, His grace, His presence. He will show up.
