Is any among you afflicted?

Is any among you afflicted?

James 5:13 - Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

Prayer does not need to be as complicated as we make it. As detrimental or trivial your situation may seem, talking to God has a 100% success rate. Let's do it more often!

I got high last weekend

I got high last weekend

Last spring, I made a vow to never smoke weed ever again. It was a vow made in order to pursue a life of holiness and righteousness. However, contrary to popular belief, I'm not perfect (shocker, I know). I smoked again after a year of quitting.


James 1:23-24 - Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.

Jesus Christ was not a people pleaser, and neither should you!

Jesus Christ was not a people pleaser, and neither should you!

I am on the journey of being a non-people pleaser. In this episode I break down what being a people pleaser means, how that can be mistaken for "just being nice" and how it has manifested in my life. Sometimes the lines between wanting to be a "good christian" and being people pleaser are blurred. 


I have good news for you, Jesus Christ was not a people pleaser, and neither should you be!

when the music changes, so does the dance

New seasons of life = new routines, habits and thought patterns. To fully embrace the change and take advantage of the life you're currently living, you have to learn the dance to the song that is currently playing. Here's how.

I guess it's safe to say that I'm in my 'Devil Wears Prada' era. Welcome (back) To The Kingdom! and welcome to season 3. I miraculously moved to New York City, got a job, quit, and got another job all within a week. I'm going crazy and having fun while doing it. Enjoy this episode!

will God disgrace himself for you?

will God disgrace himself for you?

I'm about to graduate from college, and after four years of taking public health courses I realized...I don't want to do public health. Shocker. I think I'm finally figuring out what I want to do with my life and it's a scary and bold step. This is where faith comes in.
