hey homegirlsss. God started reminded me that His love for me is so much bigger than my love for Him. that sounds simple, but it’s something that changed the way i see everything. so many of us have grown up in church believing we have to prove our love for God through effort. through serving, striving, and trying to do everything “right.” but what if the gospel was never about how much you love God, and instead about how deeply He loves you? 💭 in this episode, we talk about: why God’s love...
hey homegirls, it’s been a while 🥹 today’s episode is just a bit of a catch up because it's been a HOT minute. but it's also a reminder that when life feels heavy, God is still working. the past few months have been ghettoooo. burnout, busyness, and just feeling pulled in every direction. but through it all, God’s been teaching me about purpose, patience, and obedience in the midst of chaos. 💭 in this episode, we talk about: feeling like your passion has slipped awaynavigating burnout and spi...
hey homegirlssss. i have been AWOL but God is faithful. in today’s episode, i wanted to talk about the chrsitians who are overwhelmed, tired, maybe sometimes inconsistent with the word and feeling guilty. ... basically, all of us at some point. i’ve been in a season where everything has felt CRAZY (hence the absence): wedding planning, work, travelling… and somewhere in the middle of all of that, my time with God started to look different. i used to feel like i needed to "get back"...
i just got engaged… so why am i talking about our breakup? in this episode, i sit down with my fiancé to share the full story of how we went on a break for 9 months, why we chose to step away, and how God completely restored our relationship in a way only He could. i have received COUNTLESS of messages and comments about this, with people going through similar and unsure of what the future holds. so we pray this helps anyone going through confusion, heartbreak, waiting, or wondering if restor...
the homegirls know i have been rambling on about getting engaged but this episode is one you guys have been WAITING FOR. nas is back on the podcast, and we’re breaking down everything - from how he planned the proposal to how i almost ruined the surprise. nas goes into the details of how he knew it was time, the conversations leading up to the engagement, and how we navigated emotional and spiritual preparation for marriage. what we talk about: how nas planned the proposal and almost go...
this might be a hard pill to swallow but THE GOSPEL IS NOT ABOUT YOU. we hear the word gospel all the time. we know that Jesus died for us, we know that we are saved through Him. but do we really know the gospel? in this episode, i reflect on my five-year journey as a christian and how the most transformational thing i’ve learned is that the gospel is not about me. i spent so much time striving to be perfect, thinking i had to earn my place with God, but that completely misses the point of w...
i just got engaged, so this may seem like a strange topic to be talking about - but i can promise you it's needed. i've been through a crazy journey of seeking validation through relationships and then experiencing the knowledge that only God can truly fulfill me. i know so many women are stuck in this cycle of idolatry, so i wanted to delve into this topic more as well as share some of my story <3 what i talk about: ✨ seeking validation from men ✨ how heartbreak can lead to revelati...
this homegirl is a FIANCÉE 🥹💍 this is one of the most surreal moments of my life, and i couldn’t wait to share it with you all. if you’ve been on this journey with me - from my teenage years, to coming to Christ, to the ups and downs of relationships - you’ve seen how God has MOVED in my life. in this episode, i'm just reflecting on my engagement to Nas, what this moment means to me, and how God has worked so intentionally in my life. I also wanted to encourage you all that is a test...
how often do you go to God because you want Him - not because you want something from Him? in this episode, i unpack how we can fall into the trap of treating God like a genie: someone to grant our wishes rather than worship as our holy, sovereign Father. i share my own story of idolising my desires and seeing God as a means to an end - and how that mindset left me spiritually stagnant. but here’s the truth: God loves us too much to give us everything we ask for. His blessings are in a...
losing your fire for God is probably one of the most frustrated and destructive feelings to feel as a beliver. it's something we all struggle with as a believer at some point. but i wanna go into not just that feeling but why chasing that “on fire” feeling can lead to guilt or self-righteousness, and how we can reframe our relationship with God to grow deeper, more sustainable faith. i share my personal experience of losing that fire, chasing emotional highs in my faith, and how God has show...
we are slowly becoming a generation where a “good christian” is about attending church, singing worship songs, and being kind to others. and all of these things are good... but where is the Bible in this? how often are we actually in the word of God? how often do we have quiet time? how often do we make time to study deeply, outside of knowing the well-known verses? in this episode, i go into the importance of knowing scripture - not just to say you’ve read it - but to allow it to shape you...
it’s that time of year again new year, new resolutions, and endless vision boards. but as christians, are we submitting our plans to God? in this episode, i unpack the dangers of claiming “2025 is my year” without first seeking God’s will. we talk about the pride that fuels this mindset, how the enemy deceives us with goals that aren’t in alignment with God, and why true peace and joy can only come from walking in obedience to His plans. this episode is all about humbling ourselves, submitt...
dating as a christian comes with its challenges, but it’s also one of the most rewarding journeys when christ is truly at the centre. in this episode, nas and i go into what it means to date with purpose, how to honour God in your relationship, and the lessons we’ve learned along the way. we share personal stories about balancing spiritual growth while dating, setting healthy boundaries, and navigating the cultural norms that often conflict with biblical truths. what we talk about: ✨ why putt...
if you’re frustrated with the men in your life, it’s time to look at your standards... AND your standards of God. because the truth is, if your view of Him is shallow, your expectations for men will be too. what i talk about: ✨ why you can’t expect a man to lead, protect, and honour you if you don’t even know what that looks like in God’s Word ✨ the dangers of settling for “good enough” and why it always leads to frustration ✨ how godly men lead in purity, purpose, and spiritual authority - d...
so many of us believe in the power of God’s forgiveness but still hold on to shame, guilt, and condemnation. but that's a life of bondage because we can't truly recognise the gravity of Christ’s sacrifice and the freedom we now have in Him. what i talk about: ✨ how unforgiveness of self is a rejection of God’s sovereignty ✨ the difference between conviction and condemnation (and how the enemy uses guilt to keep us trapped) ✨ the Old Testament vs. the new covenant of grace through Jesus ✨ w...
main character syndrome... we’ve all been there. the world tells us to put ourselves first, chase our truth, and make everything about us. but let’s be real: when we make ourselves the centre of the universe, we’re at war with God. in this episode, i get real about how self-glorification (aka main character syndrome) directly opposes God’s purpose for our lives. i unpack why striving for control, validation, and self-exaltation doesn’t lead to freedom but to bondage. what i talk about: ✨ wh...
faith without relationship? it doesn’t work. today i'm talking about why true faith is rooted in a deep relationship with God and not in striving for spiritual achievements or trying to “will” ourselves into faith. what i talk about: why faith begins with knowing who God is, not striving to believe harderhow our relationship with God transforms our trust in Himthe importance of going back to the basics of the Gospel to build solid faithhow reading and reflecting on the Word helps us un...
that thing God called you to do—why haven’t you started it yet? if you’ve been feeling convicted about putting off what you know He’s asked of you, i get it - but i'm encouraging you to not drown in excuses what i talk about: why we make excuses for not acting on God’s callinghow we often prioritise comfort and logic over obediencethe reality of surrendering to God’s plans, even when they’re inconvenienttrusting His timing and leading, even in small stepsscriptures that remind us of ou...
homegirls... this week i am hurt. this episode dives into a topic that’s been weighing on my heart and i feel like it would be wrong to ignore: politics. particularly american politics. the recent election has stirred strong opinions - fine. it's opened people's eyes to their opinions - fine. but what it's also done is that it's caused anger and divide within not just the world but the body of Christ. it’s easy to let political preferences create division where there shou...
