Taylor Talks

In this episode, I open up about something I’ve been wrestling with lately — the feeling of emptiness in my relationship and the deeper truth behind it. I talk about how easy it is to idolize love, attention, or a partner without even realizing it, and how that can slowly pull us away from God.If you’ve ever felt like your partner should be doing more, or like love just isn’t filling you the way you hoped, this is for you. I share why nothing in this world — not sex, not being chosen, not even a perfect relationship — can give you what only God can.We’re talking about idolatry, culture, loneliness, and why keeping God at the center is the only way to feel whole.Referenced:🎧 More Purpose podcast — episode on consecration📖 Scriptures: Romans 12:2, Galatians 5:17, Psalm 16:11

From CoreCivic and GEO Group’s shiny marketing to their deadly realities, we trace the money, name the CEOs, and call out the lies that keep this machine alive.
