Do you ever pray for God to help you… and then feel frustrated when nothing changes?

You ask God to fix the situation, change the person, remove the obstacle—and instead of an instant solution, you’re handed responsibility.

In this episode of Peace Over Perfection, we’re talking about a tension we see all throughout Scripture: God is powerful. God is faithful. God moves. But He often invites us to move too.

This isn’t about earning...

Do you ever feel like everything needs your attention at the same time?

Like if you don’t deal with it right now, it’s going to fall apart?

In today’s episode of Peace Over Perfection, we’re talking about the story of Mary and Martha—and how distraction and urgency can pull our focus away from what matters most.

This isn’t about being “a Mary” instead of “a Martha.” Martha wasn’t doing something wrong. It was her focus. And that’s ...

In this final episode of our Luke Study, we’re walking through Luke chapters 19 through 24. This is the final stretch of Jesus’ earthly ministry—His entry into Jerusalem, His teaching in the temple, His betrayal, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension.

These chapters bring us straight...

Sometimes we move through the Gospels quickly and miss just how much Jesus is doing—how He teaches, how He loves, and how He meets people right where they are.

In this episode, we’re continuing our December study in the book of Luke and looking at Chapters 6–9. Each chapter highlights something different: conflict with the Pharisees, powerful miracles, stories of compassion, and moments where the disciples begin to understand who J...

Do you ever forget that people are paying attention to the way you live… even in the small moments you barely notice? Not in a scary way — but in a real, everyday, “your life makes an impact” kind of way.

The truth is: someone is watching you, and it actually matters. They’re paying attention to how you respond when you’re stressed. How you talk about others. How you treat the people who cross your path. And whether you realize it ...

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things—going to church, reading your Bible, volunteering—but still feel like something’s missing?

This week, we’re talking about what it really means to know God. Not just know about Him, but to actually have a relationship with Him.

What if your mornings could start differently? What if instead of rushing into chaos, you started your day with calm, gratitude, and peace?

Most of us can quote Psalm 23 by heart. It’s one of the most well-known passages in Scripture—often recited in moments of reflection or peace. But Psalm 23 is more than a comforting psalm—it’s a deep, theological picture of God’s character and His active care for His people.

In this episode of Peace Over Perfection, we take a closer, verse-by-verse look at Psalm 23 and explore the covenant names of God revealed within it. You’ll se...

Discover the True Story Behind the KJV, NIV, and Modern Versions—and Why You Can Trust God’s Word

Have you ever wondered if the Bible is still accurate after being translated so many times? Or maybe you’ve heard that newer versions “leave out” verses and wondered if that means we can’t trust them.

Would you ever talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself? Most of us wouldn’t. And yet those same critical words shape how we see ourselves, how we see God, and how we live day-to-day. Proverbs 23:7 reminds us, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”
