Notes de l’épisode
Can we disagree and still be united in Christ? This week I’m joined by my friend, author and pastor Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez, for a conversation about division in the church, biblical unity, and her new book, False Peace.
We talk about the difference between being one in Christ and expecting everyone to think, look, and believe exactly alike. We also unpack how pride, political labels, and social media can influence how we treat people, and why loving someone through disagreement requires humility, compassion, and conviction.
This conversation challenged me to examine how community is built, the Christian response to conflict, and making room for people whose experiences are different from our own.
As mothers of children with special needs, Pricelis and I also share why disability inclusion belongs in our conversations about diversity in the church.
Family, are we pursuing the unity Jesus calls us to, or have we become comfortable avoiding the conversations that could actually help us grow?

Notes de l’épisode
Heyy guys! We’re just getting back from ACCESS 2026 and we were so blessed to witness the Lord’s doing with 80K saints under one roof yearning and calling out for Him. The Lord met us all and so we’re just grateful to have been in the building and witness such an amazing experience!
With that, this week we have a special surprise as I’m joined by none other than my big brother and Pastor, Phillip Anthony Mitchell, for a conversation that feels especially close to home.
His FIRST book, Contend: Standing Boldly for Biblical Truth While Winning the War Within, is available starting TODAY, October 13! And he’s blessed us with some of his time to talk to us about what his writing journey has been like, and why now is the right time. We talk about what it means to obey God even when we feel afraid, pursue unity with humility, and keep our hearts focused on things that are true and pure Phil 4:8 CSB.
We also get honest about seasons of anxiety and discouragement, the difference between putting on a brave face versus obedience and trust in God driving our bravery, and what it can look like to invite God into the hard moments instead of only asking Him to remove them. This episode is just so good for all of us to listen to. Pastor Phil offers a heartfelt challenge to prioritize faithfulness, holiness, and intimacy with Jesus over worldly ambition.
I hope this conversation encourages you, challenges you, and reminds you that you don’t have to feel fearless to take a faithful step. Listen in, then join the conversation below: What part of our discussion stayed with you, and where are you being called to take a step of obedience?
This episode contains discussions about suicide, self-harm, and mental health struggles. These topics may be triggering or distressing to some listeners. We encourage you to listen with care and prioritize your mental well-being.
If you or someone you know is struggling, you are not alone. Free, confidential support is available 24/7 in the US. Please call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or visit 988lifeline.org.

Notes de l’épisode
You’ve forgiven them, so why does it still hurt? This week Nona returns to discuss her new book, The Power of Petty Prayers, and the difference between forgiving what someone did and healing from the impact it left behind. We explore what David’s prayers in the Psalms teach us about being honest with the Lord, trusting Him for justice, and surrendering fleshly desires to get even.
I also open up about the pain of a friendship breakup, what it revealed about where I placed my identity, and how the Lord has been challenging me to come to Him first. Together, we talk about recognizing bitterness, receiving God’s mercy, and examining the ways our own unprocessed hurt can affect others we come in contact with and/or do life with.
If you’ve ever said to yourself, “I’m over it,” while still carrying pain in an area of your life, this conversation is for you. God can handle your honesty. You don’t have to pretend with Him.

Notes de l’épisode
Can we love Jesus and still struggle with anxiety, depression, or OCD?
This week I’m joined by Emy Moore Brookins, host of the Saved Not Soft podcast and someone I love like a little sister, for a conversation about mental health, church hurt, and trusting God through suffering.
Emy opens up about recent diagnoses, her experience with spiritual abuse, and how she’s navigating therapy while remaining rooted in her faith. Together, we talk about the stigma surrounding mental health in Christian spaces, the freedom of being honest about what you’re facing, and what it looks like to seek help while trusting the Lord.
We discuss social media, the pressure to perform, and protecting intimacy with God while serving others, as well as living a faith that reaches beyond what we post online.
If you’re navigating church hurt, wrestling with your mental health, or trying to stay close to Jesus in a difficult season, my prayer is that this episode helps you feel less alone and encourages you to be honest with Him right where you are.

EP 129: Stop Waiting for God to “Get Them Back”: Forgiveness, Mercy & Vindication

Notes de l’épisode
This week on the show Jay, Jordan, Nicole and I talk through the difference between vengeance and vindication, what Scripture says about loving our enemies, and how remembering the mercy we’ve received through Christ changes the way we respond to offense.
One question really challenged me: What if our vindication actually looks like having peace, sleeping at night, and continuing in what God has called us to do?
We discuss how unforgiveness can hide behind time and distance. Just because you’ve stopped speaking to someone doesn’t mean you’ve released what happened. Forgiveness can take prayer, wrestling, and surrender, and forgiving someone doesn’t require staying in a harmful relationship.
If you’re struggling with betrayal, bitterness, a broken friendship, or the need to prove you were right, I pray this conversation helps you bring that hurt honestly before the Lord.
Before you move on with your day, pause and ask Him: “Lord, is there anyone I haven’t truly forgiven? Search my heart and help me surrender what I’m still holding.”

Notes de l’épisode
Deconstructing Christianity isn’t always the same as walking away from God. Sometimes it could mean examining legalism, controlling traditions, or inherited beliefs so we can understand what Scripture actually teaches.
But what happens when we stop deconstructing false teaching and begin deconstructing the truth itself, rebuilding faith around our comfort, desires, or the opinions of people we admire online?
This week, I'm back with the team to talk about faith deconstruction, and the responsibility that comes with Christian Influence. Together, we discuss testing every voice against God’s Word, the consequence that comes with identifying, publicly, as a Christian, and why platform size does not determine whether you have influence.
The question is: Are our words pointing others toward Christ or giving them permission to compromise?
If you’re navigating doubt, or, stewarding a platform of your own, this episode is for you!

What happens when a pastor, mentor, or Christian leader you admire falls, and your trust is shaken with them?
This week on In Totality, I’m joined by Christian apologist, author, and founder of the Jude 3 Project, Lisa Fields. Tune in for a conversation about healing after the people we admire disappoint us, without losing our faith, ignoring the harm done, or abandoning accountability.
Lisa opens up about the personal heartbreak behind her new book, When Heroes Fall: Healing from the Aftermath of Sin. Together, we talk about church hurt, broken trust, grief, and the difference between admiring someone and placing them where only God belongs.
If you’re processing disappointment with a Christian leader, navigating spiritual disillusionment, or grieving the fall of someone who helped shape your faith, this episode is for you.
My prayer is that this conversation gives you language for your grief, courage to examine your own heart, and hope to heal in godly community.
People may fail us, but Jesus never will. With His help, the hurt we experienced does not have to become harm we pass on to others.

Notes de l’épisode
Hey Guys! This week on In Totality, I’m back with Jay, Jordan, and Nicole in my new home, reflecting on God’s faithfulness through a long season of prayer, waiting, closed doors, and unexpected provision.
For nearly two years, I prayed about where my boys and I should live, where they should attend school, and what God’s next step was for our family. There were opportunities that fell through, moments when we came close, and times when I wondered whether I had discerned God’s will correctly. But while it felt like nothing was happening, God was preparing details, and people I couldn’t see.
If you’re waiting for God to move in a relationship, job opportunity, health situation, a relocation decision, or any other unanswered prayer, this episode is for you.
My prayer is that this conversation encourages you to stay close to the Lord, remain faithful with what He has already placed in your hands, and trust that He is working even when you cannot see it.
God is always working!

Ok family, I have a treat for all of us that I'm excited to share with you, and I mean ECSTATIC!
This week on In Totality, I’m joined by bestselling author, Bible teacher, psychotherapist, a daughter, a wife, and a mother, and so much more, Dr. Sarita T. Lyons! And guess what!? She's here with her new book, Honor Thy Mother, that's just released TODAY as this episode airs!
Many of us carry pain from complicated relationships with our mothers but don’t feel permission to name it, especially in the Church. Dr. Sarita helps to unpack the heart behind her new book, Honor Thy Mother: How to Grieve, Heal, and Make Peace with Your Mother Wounds, and remind us that sharing the truth about our pain is not the same as dishonor.
Tune in for an honest, biblical conversation about healing mother wounds, honoring a parent even when it's difficult to do so, how to set healthy boundaries, and breaking generational cycles.
If you’re grieving the mother you needed, navigating estrangement, afraid of repeating generational wounds with your own children, or learning how to honor a difficult parent, this episode is for you.
My prayer is that this conversation helps you name what hurts, invite God into it, and take a faithful step toward grief, healing, freedom, and peace.

EP 124: Stop Trying to Get Even: Hurt, Forgiveness & Trusting God’s Justice

Notes de l’épisode
Hey Fam! In Totality is back this week and I'm here with the team for a conversation about forgiveness, anger, and the call of Romans 12: “Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay.”
Forgiveness sounds beautiful until the wound is fresh and the apology never comes. So, today, I open up about my struggle with wanting to defend myself, have the last word, or “get a lick back” when I feel wronged. We unpack what it looks like to trust God as our defender, lay the urge to retaliate on the altar, and surrender the outcome instead of waiting for God to “get them” on our behalf.
We also talk through the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, why forgiveness doesn’t mean ignoring abuse or automatically restoring access, and how hurt can turn into anger, defensiveness, or the urge to clap back. The team shares what it looks like to pause, pray, name the real wound, and invite the Holy Spirit into hard conversations.
If you’re struggling to forgive someone who hurt you, waiting for an apology you may never receive, wrestling with bitterness, or trying to handle conflict in a way that honors Christ, this episode is for you.
My prayer is that this conversation helps you release the need for revenge, overcome evil with good, and trust God with the offense and the outcome. You can acknowledge what was wrong and still choose grace. Let God be your defender.

Notes de l’épisode
This week, Jordan, Jay, and Nic join in for a conversation about spiritual warfare, repentance, and what it means to put on the full armor of God every day.
After reflecting on the battles the Lord has carried us through, I realized that endurance is not passive. Sometimes we become so weary in our faithfulness that we stop fighting. Other times, we become so confident about the battles we’ve already survived that we stop guarding ourselves. Both can leave us spiritually vulnerable.
We unpack 2 Samuel 11 and the moment David remained in Jerusalem when kings were expected to go to war. What began with being somewhere he was not supposed to be led to lust, sexual sin, deception, murder, and months of unrepentance. David’s story reminds us why we must remain engaged in the fight, confess quickly, and never assume that past victories make us immune to temptation.
If you’re experiencing spiritual warfare, faithful fatigue, inconsistency, shame over sin, or weariness from fighting one battle after another, I pray this conversation encourages you. Seriousness does not mean joylessness, and devotion does not mean perfection. When you don’t feel strong enough to fight, be honest with the Lord and ask Him to help you want what He wants.
Keep fighting. Look to Jesus, hold tightly to His promises, and remember that you do not have to fight in your own strength.

Notes de l’épisode
Hey Guys! After a little break last week, I’m back with the team for a conversation about building endurance in the Christian faith through daily obedience, patience, and spiritual growth.
Sanctification is a process, and so is building endurance. Using a lesson I learned from “ego lifting” in Pilates, we talk about why God may be more interested in our faithful reps than the amount of weight we’re trying to carry. So many of us want the big moment, the visible calling, or the impressive testimony, but God often develops our character through the quiet monents each day.
We talk about walking in step with the Holy Spirit without trying to rush ahead, remaining faithful when our growth feels invisible, and trusting that God is establishing roots beneath the surface.
Through the lives of Abraham, Moses, and David, we’re reminded that their public moments of faith were preceded by years of private preparation and obedience.
If you’re a new believer, discouraged by your pace, comparing your calling to someone else’s, or wondering whether you’re truly growing, I pray this episode encourages you. Baby steps are still steps. You don’t have to reach the finish line first; you just have to keep going, looking to Jesus as the founder and perfecter of your faith.

Hey guys! We're back this week with a fresh episode and Toni Collier is back on In Totality to share about season 2 of her Docuseries, Unshakeable Moxie!
If you haven't seen season 1, it's a great time to catch up and tune into the series, co-hosted by Moriah Smallbobe, where these two women share the beauty of other women’s stories around the world, and how true hope is not just believing things will get better, but placing our hope fully in Jesus.
You guys know whenever Toni is here we have a great time with great laughs. In this episode, we talk about holding on to joy in the middle of grief, what it looks like to keep showing up when life feels heavy, and how God comforts us through our suffering and never asks us to carry it alone.
Toni shares what this season has taught her about hope, endurance, healing, and trusting God when the outcome is still unclear.
I pray this episode reminds you that you do not have to be perfect to be faithful. Keep showing up. God is with you!

Hey Guys! I'm so excited to share this conversation I had with Ace Harris on faith, creativity, sacrifice, and what it means to surrender everything to God.
In this episode, Ace shares his journey from discovering music in the church, to working in the Christian music industry.
And we touched on topics like the tension between art, commerce, and ministry, how beauty and creativity can point people back to God, and why our heart posture matters in everything we build.
We also discuss Altar Aesthetics, Christian influence, success, discipline, and the cost of following Jesus when He asks for the very thing we love most.
My prayer is that this episode encourages you to ask: is the Lord truly sitting on the throne of my heart, or have I placed something else there?

Hey Guys! On this week's episode, I'm here with the team again, and you don't want to miss this conversation!
Quick question: do you guys think Jordan should become a streamer? Let us know in the comments after you're done listening!
We're talking through the temptations of living in a world where everything can become content, while still protecting the intimacy of our relationship with the Lord. We also touch on what it means to seek God before we speak, post, respond to, or share things that we believe the Lord has revealed.
If you're navigating posting on social media as a believer, or even just everyday obedience to God's word, this conversation is a reminder that being a disciple must come before being anything else as Christians.
What we post, watch, say, like, and share all matters when our lives belong to Christ.

In Totality Podcast is back this week with a powerful conversation with Laurie Krieg on sexuality, surrender, marriage, parenting, and the love of God.
As parents, many of us feel anxious or unprepared when it comes to conversations around sexuality, puberty, pornography, identity, and culture. Laurie gives such practical wisdom on how to talk to our children with truth, grace, clarity, and love without panic or shame.
Laurie shares her testimony of wrestling with same-sex attraction, sexual brokenness, shame, and the deeper longings beneath desire: the need to be seen, known, chosen, and loved. Together, we talk about how those longings are ultimately met in Jesus, and how God’s love does not just expose what is broken, but empowers us to surrender, heal, and walk in freedom.
This episode is for anyone who has struggled with shame, anyone who wants to better love people without compromising truth, and any parent, mentor, aunt, uncle, youth leader, or discipler aiming to guide the next generation with a gospel-centered view of sexuality.

What’s up family?
I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to be faithful with anything that God has placed in our hands, especially when we may not always feel confident, qualified, or sure of where we fit, in the space of ministry.
Sometimes we may look at other people’s gifts, platforms, ministries, or callings and wonder if what God is doing in us is enough. But the more I sit with it, the more I’m reminded that growth is not always measured by platforms, numbers, titles, or visibility. Sometimes the deepest growth is what God is doing quietly in our hearts.
In this episode, I talk through wrestling with the insecurity of being a woman in ministry, keeping the focus on Christ, and learning to trust that our testimony is enough when it points people back to the Savior.
For anyone who feels unsure of their place, insecure in their calling, or tempted to compare what God is doing in their life to someone else’s, I pray this episode reminds you that where God has you matters. Your home matters. Your local church matters. Your dorm matters. Keep the main thing the main thing: Christ, His glory, and making Him name known wherever He sends you.

What's up family? This week i'm back with a conversation on anxiety, surrender, and the peace of God.
I’ve been going through Philippians 4 and what it means to bring everything to God in prayer: every request, every worry, every need, and every anxious thought. So often, we say we trust God, but our minds are still racing and our hearts are still carrying what He invited us to surrender.
I talk through making our requests known to God with thanksgiving, the difference between reading scripture and truly meditating on it, and how His peace guards our hearts and minds in a way nothing else can.
This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or tired from trying to figure everything out on their own. I pray this reminds you that God is not asking you to carry it alone. He is inviting you to come to Him, trust Him, and receive the peace that only He can give.

Notes de l’épisode
This week, I’m humbled and honored to bring you a conversation with someone whose ministry has made a huge impact in my walk recently— Pastor and Author Francis Chan. If you’ve been with me this season of In Totality, you know I’ve been taking my Patreon community through his latest book, Beloved, and this conversation is one that I've been praying for— and I cannot wait for you to hear it.
Beloved has deeply shaped how I see my relationship with God. It confronted something I didn’t even realize I was doing — trying to serve Him from a place of striving and performance, like I could somehow pay God back, instead of simply receiving His love as a daughter.
Francis and I talk about what it means to know God as Father — not just as Judge or Lord or the One we serve — and how easy it is to miss the very thing we were made for: enjoying Him.
We get into the difference between performing for God and truly abiding in Him, and why His love has to stay at the center of everything. You are going to want to listen to this more than once!
My prayer for you is that this episode helps you slow down, receive, and remember — you are not just called to love Him. You are invited to remain in Him.

Notes de l’épisode
So many of us are living with an identity shaped by the world, our feelings, our achievements, our past, our pain, our personality, or what other people have said about us. But scripture gives us a different foundation. Our identity is not something we discover inside ourselves; it is something declared by God.
In this episode, I'm here with the team talking through what it means to be created in the image of God, reborn in Christ, and no longer defined by the old self, and I really enjoyed this conversation! We talk about why following your heart is not enough, why adding Christ onto parts of your life is different from being fully surrendered, and why true transformation is not renovation. it is resurrection.
This conversation is for anyone who has been asking, “Do I really know who I am in Christ?"
My prayer is that this episode reminds you that you are loved, adopted, justified, and called to live faithfully, not perfectly, but surrendered.

This week I'm super excited for you guys to listen in on this episode! I'm joined by Trey Heflin, who you may be familiar with if you follow 2819 Church's worship team.
This season has been anchored in John 15, where Jesus reminds us to remain in His love. In this episode, that invitation continues through a conversation about worship, surrender, obedience, and what it truly means to give God your whole life.
This is Trey's first-ever podcast appearance and I'm so honored he's here with us! We talk about the pace and responsibilities of ministry and stewardship, and learning how to slow down enough to hear God in the stillness. He shares how worship became more than music for him, and how true worship is not just the songs we sing, but the life we live in response to God's nature.
This episode is for anyone who yearns to hear from God or learn how to worship Him with more than words. I pray it reminds you that God is not just after a moment. He is after your heart, your life, and your yes.

Hey guys! This week, i'm back with the team for an unconventional episode where I answer some questions from my Patreon Village!
We discuss topics of marriage, trusting God in seasons of singleness, dating in Christ with wisdom and intention, and how to love others from a place of intimacy with the Lord.

In this weeks episode, I’m reflecting on what it means to truly rest in the steadfast love of God.
So many of us are walking through seasons that feel uncertain, painful, and stretching. Maybe you’ve been trying to stay faithful, but if you’re honest, you’re tired. Tired of waiting. Tired of praying. Tired of not understanding what God is doing. In this conversation, I wanted to slow down and anchor us in the truth that God’s love is not shaky, conditional, or fleeting. It is steadfast and secure.
This episode is for anyone who feels weary, confused, pruned, or stretched thin in this season.
My prayer is that it reminds you that God has not forgotten you, He has not changed His mind about you, and He is still faithful in the middle of whatever you’re carrying.

Notes de l’épisode
This week, I share about the recent unexpected loss of one of my longest and dearest friends, and the ways this particular grief has reshaped my perspective.
I talk about the tension of suffering and faith, how trials expose why we truly follow Christ, and why grief for the believer is never without hope. I reflect on scriptures like 2 Corinthians 1, 1 Peter 1, Matthew 5, and 1 Thessalonians 4, and how they've anchored me through one of the hardest seasons I’ve walked through in a long time.
This conversation is for anyone who may be mourning, carrying disappointment, or trying to understand how God’s goodness still stands in the middle of pain. My prayer is that this episode reminds you that God is near to the brokenhearted, He wastes nothing, and even now, the Holy Spirit is present to comfort you.
Bring your lament directly to the Father, and invite Him to meet you in the midst of your sorrow.

Hey fam, we are back this week with a conversation that I think so many parents need.
A major part of my life is being a mom, and in this episode I wanted to slow down and talk about what it really means to raise children in a home where God is not just a topic we bring up when life goes wrong, but the theme of the home itself.
So often, parenting can become focused on behavior, structure, and getting through the day. But as believers, we are called to more than just raising well-behaved kids. We are called to make disciples in our homes. In this episode, I talk about what it looks like to build a daily cadence of discipleship with your children through prayer, scripture, devotionals, honest conversations, and simply making the Lord part of everyday life.
This episode is for the parent who feels the weight of responsibility, the mom who wants to lead her children well, the dad who wants to build a Christ-centered home, and anyone wondering how to take simple but faithful steps toward discipling the children God has entrusted to them.
I pray this episode reminds you that you do not have to be a perfect parent to be a faithful one.

Hey guys! We are back this week with a conversation about something so many believers wrestle with: can you really follow Jesus without being deeply connected to His people?
In this episode, we talk about why Christianity was never meant to be lived alone. In a culture that celebrates independence, self-protection, and doing faith on your own terms, it can be easy to believe that prayer, worship, and Bible reading are enough without real accountability, correction, or fellowship. But when we look at scripture, we see that God has always called His people to live in community.
We unpack what it means to be part of the body of Christ, why isolation can quietly stunt spiritual growth, and how healthy biblical community helps shape us, strengthen us, and keep us rooted in truth. We also talk honestly about church hurt, disappointment, fear of vulnerability, and why past pain can make it difficult to trust people again, especially within the church.
This episode is for anyone who has been trying to walk with God on their own. My prayer is that this conversation reminds you that while finding community can be tough, it's also one of God’s gifts for our growth, healing, and endurance, and I pray this episode encourages you not to give up on what God has designed for your good.

Notes de l’épisode
This week, I’m back with the team to talk about the importance of pausing to pray and seek God's direction as Christians, before we publicly respond to things online, or create content for public consumption that dishonors others.
We’re living in a time where everyone feels pressure to react quickly, share every opinion, and defend every point of view. But as believers, we are not called to move at the speed of society. We are called to move in step with the Spirit. And sometimes that means being quiet long enough to pray, examine our hearts, and ask whether what we’re about to say is actually producing the kind of unity Jesus prayed for.
If you've felt grieved by the division online within the Christian body, or even if you've been trusted with your own platform and wondered, “Do I need to respond to everything?” or “How do I stand firm without sowing division?” I pray this episode reminds you—not every moment needs your reaction, but every moment does require a thoughtful response in love.

Notes de l’épisode
This week, I'm reflecting with the team on my experience witnessing Jackie and Jordan practice obedience during the Blameless concert weekend that took place in February. We're talking about what it means to fix our gaze on Jesus when fear, doubt, and uncertainty can cause a hesitation to obey.
In Matthew 14, we see Peter walk on water only while his eyes are fixed on Jesus, but the moment he focuses on the wind and the waves, he begins to sink. And honestly, it's the same way for so many of us when it comes to trusting God. But Jesus is so kind. When Peter began to sink, he called out to Jesus, and Jesus reached for him. And He does the same for us.
Join the conversation as we explore what it looks like to trust God in the midst of fear. We discuss the tension of wanting to believe the Lord is faithful while battling uncertainty, and how faith is often not the absence of fear, but the practice of fixing our gaze on God in everything we do, until we see our complete assignment through to the end.
This episode is for anyone who feels like they’ve been sinking under the weight of anxiety, doubt, or fear and it's keeping you from saying Yes to the Lord.
I pray this reminds you that He is not distant in our struggle. He is near, steady, and faithful.

In Totality Podcast is back for a season 3 return this week!
This season is anchored in John 15, where Jesus says, “Remain in My love.” And so I want to slow down with you and allow scripture to call us back to something we forget so easily: joyful obedience doesn’t come from striving, it comes from abiding.
So many of us are trying to follow God from a place of pressure, like we have to earn closeness, approval, or prove we’re “doing enough.” But Jesus doesn’t invite us into performance. He invites us into relationship. Into a life where we stay connected to Him, and the fruit comes from finding Joy in our lives with Him, not from dreaded works.
As I read and reflect, I talk about what this can look like in real life: when you’ve been “doing all the right things” but you’re losing joy, so your relationship with God starts to feel transactional. We talk about identity, living as sons and daughters, not as servants, and what it means to receive His love before you try to get your life together on your own.
This episode is for anyone who feels tired of trying… tired of striving… tired of carrying their walk with God like a weight. If you’ve been asking, “Why does obedience feel so hard?” or “Why do I feel far even when I’m doing everything?” I pray this reminds you: you don’t need to try harder, just abide in Him.

Notes de l’épisode
This week, I’m sharing another special moment from the live podcast back in October, where I’m reading through 1 Thessalonians 5, and letting Scripture bring us back to what we forget most easily: who we are in Christ.
This passage is such a steady reminder that we are children of light. We’re not called to live in fear, anxiety, or spiritual numbness, but to stay awake, anchored, and strengthened in the Lord.
As I read, I share what this could look like in real life: choosing patience with one another, leaning into community, praying with and for each other, and learning how to give thanks in all things… even when it’s not easy.
This special episode is for anyone who’s felt discouraged in their growth, frustrated with the process of patience, or tempted to forget the miracle of what God already did on the cross.
If sanctification feels slow and obedience feels heavy, I pray this reminds you: God is faithful, He is keeping you, and your identity has already been secured.
