Imperfectly Inspirational Podcast

In this powerful continuation of our journey through James 2, we unpack verses 14–26 and confront the difference between a faith that’s alive and one that’s all talk. This episode calls both individuals and churches to examine whether our faith is truly active—or just appearances. Through examples like Abraham and Rahab, we see that genuine faith moves, acts, and obeys. We also challenge churches that have grown comfortable waiting for people to come in, rather than stepping out into the community. It’s time for the Body of Christ to be more than a building—it must be the hands, feet, ears, and heart of Jesus.#faith #action #Church #doers #Jesus #imperfectlyinspirational

In this episode of the Imperfectly Inspirational Podcast, we dive into James 2:1–13 and confront a hard truth: favoritism has no place in the family of God. We unpack what it means to live out a faith that treats everyone with dignity, regardless of status, wealth, or appearance. With historical context and supporting scripture, we explore how the Church has historically struggled with partiality—and how it must rise up to be a place of both worship and healing. This is a call to action for individuals and churches alike to reflect the heart of Christ: one that shows mercy over judgment and love without condition.#dontjudge #Grace #lovethyneighbor #Jesus #Church #imperfectlyinspirational #podcast

In this follow-up to Part 1, we continue unpacking Jesus’ parable in Matthew 18—and this is where the story hits home in a whole new way.After being forgiven an unimaginable debt, the servant turns around and refuses to forgive someone else who owes him a fraction of what he owed. Jesus doesn’t hold back in showing us the danger of forgetting the mercy we’ve received—and the cost of withholding it from others.This episode wrestles with what unforgiveness really does to our hearts, how bitterness takes root, and why forgiving others isn’t about letting them off the hook—it’s about setting yourself free. We look at powerful scriptures like Ephesians 4 and Colossians 2, and talk about what real, Christlike forgiveness can look like in everyday life.Whether you’re struggling to forgive or just need a reminder of how radically you’ve been forgiven—this one is for you.#forgiveness #mercy #Jesus #imperfectlyinspirational #podcast

We’ll talk about Peter’s bold question to Jesus, the cultural context of forgiveness, and why Jesus’ response challenges us to stop keeping score and start living from grace.This episode is an invitation to pause and reflect:Have you let the mercy you’ve been given shape your heart?Before we talk about extending mercy to others in Part 2, this one’s about sitting in the freedom of forgiveness—and remembering just how much we’ve been forgiven.#forgiveness #Jesus #mercy #imperfectlyinspirational #podcast

I kick things off by sharing my love for a clean house—how it brings peace and represents me well. Just like a clean home, Jesus desires our hearts to be pure, reflecting Him to the world. We dive into the historical context of purity in Jesus’ day and unpack what it means to have a heart that is fully devoted to God. A pure heart transforms our desires, draws us closer to Jesus, and allows us to see God more clearly. I also share practical ways to pursue a pure heart—daily surrender, filling our hearts with God’s Word, guarding against impurities, and staying accountable. But ultimately, only Jesus can truly purify our hearts. Tune in and let’s pursue hearts that reflect Him!#pure #heart #clean #Jesus #imperfectlyinspirational #podcast #beatitude
