While filming this episode we had NO IDEA that God would later confirm that it would indeed be our last. We believe that the same way God puts it in our heart to start things, He also puts it in our heart to stop. Our podcast has not only been a blessing to our supporters but to each of us individually. It has helped us to grow so much closer to God and closer to each other. Though we are saddened that we have come to an end, we are so grateful to have created a space for believers to express themselves by being honest, open and transparent about their faith journey. We're all excited to see what God has in store for each of us. Until next time...MTC on 3 🖤
Being apart of a church community can be one of the most beautiful parts of the faith for a lot of us. Unfortunately, there are some of us who have only experienced the ugly side of the church. A side so ugly that some are compelled to leave and never look back. In this episode, we share our thoughts and experiences with the church community and how they have affected us as well as those around us.
When it comes to figuring out our identity, one of the first questions we ask ourselves is “Who am I?” So many of us have made the mistake of turning to everything BUT God to find our true identity. We have allowed society to be the thing that tells us who we should and shouldn’t be. We’ve even let society tell us that it’s okay to stay the same when even though change is inevitable.In this episode, we share our thoughts on identity, going through life’s changes and walking proudly in the person that God has created us to be.
James 2: 26 - Just as the body is dead without breath, so also faith is dead without good works. We've all heard the saying "Faith without works is dead." For a lot of us, we probably didn't realize how important this statement was to our relationship with God. Faith is more than just some feeling...it requires action. We can all agree that life can throw some major curve balls our way. But even in the midst of our hardships, God has proven time and time again that He is able to do more than we can ask or think. In this episode, we talk about acting out on faith and share the importance of trusting God in the midst of our struggles.
When you pray, are you praying boldly or do you doubt that God will answer your prayers? Do you ever feel like maybe you're asking for too much? Or have you been praying for something for so long that you've given up on the hope that God is actually going to pull through for you? In this episode, we explore the benefits of praying boldly and the importance of inviting God into everything we face.
What's stopping you from fully committing yourself to your relationship with God? Is it your love for entertainment, your lack of trust or your need to always be in control. Being lukewarm has become such a trend in the younger generation of believers. In today's society, it has become really hard to tell believers and non-believers apart because if we're being honest, our lives look pretty similar. In this episode, we share some of the things that we feel may be holding us back from committing to God and how those things affect our walk on a daily basis.
Have you ever called a friend to vent about the things that have been stressing you and instead of just being a listening ear they either give you unwarranted advice or somehow make the conversation about them? In this episode, we open up about our experiences with giving and receiving unwarranted advice and share the things we've implemented in our relationships to ensure that we are doing our best by those we love.
Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries is a crucial part of our faith journey. One of the purposes of having boundaries is to ensure that we are creating an environment that makes it easier to remain obedient to God's commands. In this episode, we open up about struggles we have faced with setting and maintaining our own personal boundaries and how that has affected our walk with God.

Disclaimer - We apologize for the quality of the audio in this week's and next week's episodes. We didn't know the audio wasn't the best until it was too late :(How many times have we decided to take things into our own hands instead of allowing God to be in control? The truth is, trying to do everything yourself can be extremely exhausting. In this episode, we open up about some of the things that can cause us to become burnt out and express the importance of rest. Not just physical rest, but the rest that is available to all of us when we trust in God.
Have you ever felt like you were giving everything you have to the things happening in your life and yet you still feel like you're not doing enough? Have you ever felt like you were doing the best you could but in reality you were only giving the bare minimum? In this episode, we share some of our experiences with feeling like we simply weren't doing enough and how that has affected our relationships with God and the people around us. .
Has there ever been a time in your life where you've had to take a step back and ask yourself...am I the problem? Truth is, everyone has been the problem or the "drama" at some point in their life. In this episode, we open up about how we may or may not have been the drama at one point or the other.
In Matthew 6:21, Jesus basically tells us that our hearts are wherever our treasures are. This verse lead us to reflect on where we are in our walk with God currently and truly evaluate what our treasures may be. In this episode, we talk transparently about where our hearts currently are and we acknowledge that whether we want to believe or not, at one point or another, our hearts were NOT in the right place.
One of the hardest things to balance as a believer is the concept of being IN the world but not being OF the world. From our own fleshly desires to peer pressure, trying to stand your ground and avoid conforming to the ways of the world can be exhausting. In this episode, we share our thoughts and personal experiences with being "Set Apart" and remind ourselves how important it is to remain close to God at ALL times.
What is fasting? According to the late Myles Munroe, fasting is the willful abstaining from natural pleasures for a spiritual purpose. In this episode, we talk the importance of fasting and the HUGE role it plays in our relationship with God.
How much of your prayer time have you spent asking God to show you the calling/purpose He has for your life? The bible reassures us that God has a definite plan and purpose for each of us. But, the real question is, how in the world do we find out what that is? In today's episode, we talk about the journey to finding our calling/purpose and share our personal experiences.
One of the hardest parts of our walk with Christ is dying to ourselves (our flesh) every day. As believers, our ultimate goal is to allow our fleshy desires to be killed by the Holy Spirit in order to allow the spirit of God within us to prosper. In todays episode, we talk about killing our fleshly desires and walking in the freedom we received from our sins when Jesus died on the cross for us.
In our last episode, we shared our thoughts on the importance of prayer and ensuring that we are in constant communication with God. In this episode, we share our thoughts on reading the Bible daily and allowing it to become your daily bread.
Prayer is one of the most important parts of our relationship with God. Sometimes we tend to over think it all because of the ways others have prayed before us. The truth is there is no perfect way to pray. We can pray at any given moment of any given day. God just wants us to show up and genuinely share our hearts with Him because He's always present and listening. So whether your prayers are big or small, long or short.. Just make sure that you make it a point to spend time talking with God.
