Whether you're experiencing life's highs and lows or simply navigating through the routines of everyday life, what matters most to us is that Jesus is leading the way for you.
For those seeking to deepen their connection with God yet feeling uncertain about where or how to begin, this podcast was made just for you. Let’s grow through it together.

My heart is so full putting this together for you guys. I wish I had the words to explain how this community has held me, encouraged me, and changed me. It means everything to know that God has entrusted me with the sweetest, kindest listeners. Each of you are such a blessing in my life. Christmas is my favorite season, but I also know it can stir up heaviness, memories, and emotions we don’t always talk about. So I wanted to offer something small just to say thank you for being here, for lis...
We’re back with another honest girl chat episode! We’re talking about all the things we usually keep to ourselves: lust struggles, stubborn crushes, faith burnout, perfectionism, figuring out God’s will, and even how to share the Gospel with family who might not understand your faith. Lots of real talk about loving Jesus while still figuring life out, walking by the Spirit when your flesh feels louder and so much more! Can’t wait to catch up with you guys!! Scriptures Mentioned Ephes...
If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough for God, like no matter how much you pray, serve, or show up, it’s still never enough… this episode is for you. We talk about that quiet pressure so many of us carry as Christians. The pressure to perform, to be “good,” to never fall short. Everyone online makes it look so easy… their routines, their faith, their peace and you start wondering, What am I missing? Why do I feel exhausted? But what if God isn’t asking for perfection? What if He’...
Everyone gets angry. We all see and go through things that frustrate us or make our blood boil. But, even if you don’t think you have “anger issues,” it’s still easy to let anger lead you into sin. In today’s episode, Drew joins me to talk honestly about our own battles with anger. What it looked like before Christ, how it still shows up now, and what the Bible really says about how to be slow to anger. We’re diving into real stories, real struggles, and the truth that God’s Word gives us to ...
Have you ever felt like following Jesus makes you the “weird one” in the room? Like you’re left out of family gatherings, friend groups, or opportunities because of your faith? I’ve been there too. While reading the Old Testament, I kept coming back to the Levites, the tribe God set apart to serve Him. They didn’t get land like everyone else, but God Himself was their portion. From the outside, it may have looked like they were missing out, but in reality, they had the greatest gift of all: c...
Feeling far from God lately? Maybe you’ve been distracted, maybe life feels heavy, or maybe you’ve just quietly drifted without even realizing it. This episode is a reminder that the same God who brought Israel out of Egypt is the same God who’s brought you out of your own Egypt….your heartbreak, your past maybe even just your old self. Forgetting Him is what pulls us further away, but remembering what He’s already done shifts everything. In this conversation, I talk about why we so eas...
“I feel like I’m wasting my life.” If you’ve ever said that to yourself while scrolling, procrastinating, numbing out, or crying in secret, this episode is for you. It’s for the person who cries on their birthday because she feels like another year passed them by. For the dreamer who has a million ideas in their heart but feels too scared to take the first step. For the one who’s tired of feeling stuck: spiritually, emotionally, mentally and doesn’t know how to move forward. I know what it’s ...
Fasting. It’s something we’ve all heard about… but I wonder how many of us truly understand it or have actually stepped into it? The beautiful thing is, fasting isn’t just for “super spiritual” people or moments of crisis. It’s for all of us. Jesus said when you fast, not if. Fasting is one of the most powerful ways to draw close to God, hear His voice, and let Him work in your life in ways you didn’t expect.In this episode, I share what biblical fasting really is (and isn’t), how to start,...
This one’s personal. I’ve been asked how I healed from childhood trauma and the truth is, I’m still healing. I haven’t “arrived,” and maybe I never fully will this side of Heaven. But what I’ve learned is this: God doesn’t wait for us to be whole to walk with us. He meets us in the wound. In this episode, I open up about what it looks like to follow Jesus while still bleeding. I talk about the thorn in my side, how God’s word taught me to lament, and the power of being honest with God when li...
Have you ever said "yes" when everything in you was saying "no" just because you were scared of disappointing someone, scared of not being liked? Same. And honestly... it’s exhausting. Today, we’re getting real about people-pleasing and how, for so long, we labeled it as "kindness" or "love," when really, it was fear wearing a mask. Fear of rejection. Fear of not being enough. But here’s the hope: Jesus never called us to live for approval, He called us to live in freedom. In this episode, we...
This one’s a little different. It’s not a typical episode… it’s more of a pause. I really felt the Holy Spirit tugging on me to just stop and remember what Jesus did. Not just on Good Friday, but every day — because this story is still changing lives. This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and sit with the love of a God who didn’t stay distant, but stepped into our mess. Who chose the cross — not because He had to, but because He wanted to. It’s not just a story about pain. &nbs...
Today’s episode is a big sister Q&A — just real, honest girl talk about the things we all wonder but don’t always say out loud. We’re talking about losing friendships in your 20’s, struggling with lust as a Christian girl, trusting God in waiting seasons, dealing with insecurity, making the first move in dating, and even how to start reading your Bible. I’ve missed you guys so much, and it feels so good to sit down and just talk again. My heart for this episode is that you leave feeling s...
Would you still listen to this episode if it had nothing to do with you… but everything to do with God? We live in a world that constantly asks, "What can God do for me?" But what if faith wasn’t about what we get, but about who He is? What if we stopped making our relationship with God a transaction and started making it a posture, one of surrender, trust, and devotion? This episode isn’t about us. It’s about Him. I want to challenge you today: What would your life look like if it was ...
Have you ever prayed and thought you heard God speaking, but weren’t sure if it was really Him or just your own thoughts? Same. In this episode, we’re talking about how to discern God’s voice, because the Bible makes it clear—He speaks to all of His children, including you. We’ll dive into the different ways God communicates and what it means when He feels silent. instagram.com/growingthrough.pod

Back by popular demand—my husband Drew joins me on the podcast! Let’s be honest: dating can be challenging, especially when the Bible doesn’t directly talk about it. So how do we navigate dating in a way that prepares us for marriages that honor God? In Part 1, Drew and I are tackling dating God’s way. We’re asking each other the tough questions, sharing personal advice, and diving into what Scripture teaches about building Christ-centered relationships. Whether you’re single, dating, or marr...
Do you ever catch yourself scrolling, comparing, and thinking, “If only I had what they do”? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re getting real about grass is greener syndrome — the constant pursuit of “better” that leaves us feeling stuck and ungrateful. Whether it’s relationships, career, or just life in general, this mindset can steal your joy and disconnect you from what God has for you right now. We’ll break down the symptoms, share biblical truth and talk about how to stop chasing “p...

Have you ever wondered why certain struggles seem to hit harder or come out of nowhere? The enemy doesn’t play fair, but he’s also predictable—if you know what to watch for. In this episode, we uncover the enemy’s strategies and reveal how you can stay one step ahead. Through Scripture and real-world application, you’ll learn to recognize his attacks, guard your heart, and walk boldly in God’s truth. "In order that satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes." ...
We all face doubt at times, but what do you do when it leaves you feeling stuck and uncertain? When fear makes you question everything you were once so confident God had spoken to you? Today, I’m sharing my journey of how doubt didn’t defeat me but instead brought me closer to God. What I thought would stop me in my tracks ended up pushing me further into His purpose. God isn’t finished with you yet! instagram.com/growingthrough.pod
