How to Be Saved | Get Unstuck | The Gospel Message Explained (Romans 10:9–13)

In this episode, we come back to the foundation of our faith: the gospel message.

Walking through Romans 10:9–13, we unpack what it truly means to follow Jesus—not just in words, but in a life fully surrendered to Him. Salvation isn’t just a moment; it’s the beginning of a transformed life.

We talk about three key steps:
• Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord
• Confirm the truth of God’s Word in your heart
• Commit your life fully to Christ

It all begins with submission—recognizing that we don’t just need Jesus once, we need Him every single day.

This episode is an invitation to stop living stuck as a believer. To leave behind old patterns, old ways of thinking, and fully surrender your body, mind, and soul to God.

When we do, we begin to see God move—growing us, transforming us, and leading us across the bridge of redemption and restoration.

If you’re ready to take a deeper step in your faith or return to the heart of the gospel, this episode will challenge and encourage you to respond today.

Getting to Know the Holy Spirit | Living Spirit-Led | How to Know the Holy Spirit and Stand Firm in Faith (Part 3)

In Part 3 of our series with Tracy Harper, we step into one of the most important parts of our faith journey: getting to know the Holy Spirit.

If we want to stand firm and grow spiritually strong, it begins with submission to the Holy Spirit—not just knowing about Him, but truly knowing Him.

So who is the Holy Spirit?
He is not distant or abstract—He is God with us, active, present, and personal. And this part of the journey is all about relationship.

In this episode, we talk about:
• Who the Holy Spirit is
• Why He matters in our everyday lives
• How to begin building a real relationship with Him
• What it looks like to be led by the Spirit instead of by feelings or the world

This conversation is an invitation to move from information to transformation—to grow in awareness of God’s presence and learn how to walk with Him daily.

If you’ve ever wondered how to hear from God, feel closer to Him, or live a faith that is steady and strong, this episode will encourage you to take that next step.

✨ You were never meant to walk your faith alone.

Identifying Counterfeit Guides | Hearing Truth Over Feelings (From Him, Not Them Series – Part 2)

In this second episode of our special series with Tracy Harper, we dive into Part Two of her book, From Him, Not Them: Identifying Counterfeit Guides.

Tracy shares powerful insight on how easily our hearts and minds can be influenced by voices that aren’t rooted in truth. When our feelings become the engine of our decisions, they can pull us away from the identity and direction God intends for us. In this conversation, we talk about how to slow down, examine the voices guiding us, and learn to recognize what truth we are actually listening to.

One of Tracy’s most memorable lines from the interview was this:
“Only something of value has a counterfeit. There’s no counterfeit paper bag, but there is a counterfeit designer bag.”

The same is true for our identity and our faith. Because our worth and purpose are so valuable, there will always be counterfeit messages competing for our attention. Tracy helps us learn how to spot those counterfeits and anchor ourselves in what God says is true.

If you’re a mom, mentor, or woman wanting to grow deeper in understanding where your identity comes from—and how to help the next generation do the same—this episode will be both practical and encouraging.

Why We Need to Feel Seen | Finding Identity in Christ (From Him, Not Them Series)

In the first episode of our special series with Tracy Harper, we begin unpacking Part One of her book From Him, Not Them with a powerful theme: knowing that you are seen.

Many young women—and honestly, many of us at any age—carry a deep desire to be noticed, valued, and understood. Tracy shares an important truth: wanting to be seen doesn’t make you narcissistic—it makes you human. God designed us with a longing to be known and recognized.

In this conversation, Tracy walks through the biology and emotional wiring behind our desire to be seen, explaining why that need exists and how it can either lead us toward healthy connection or toward unhealthy places if we seek it from the wrong sources.

Most importantly, we talk about how to redirect that desire toward the right outlets—toward God, healthy relationships, and a grounded identity that comes from Him, not from them.

This episode is especially meaningful for young women, moms of teenage daughters, mentors, and women who wish they had heard these truths earlier in life.

If you’ve ever wondered why being seen matters so much—or how to help a young woman you love build her identity in Christ—this conversation will encourage, equip, and open the door to deeper understanding.

🎧 Tune in to the first episode of this series and discover why From Him, Not Them is becoming such a powerful resource for women and young women alike.

Genuine Faith: Submitting to God and Walking Humbly (James 4)

Have you ever heard a sermon and felt like God was speaking directly to you?

In this episode, I share why Micah Stevens’ sermon “Genuine Faith: Our Road Map” from Island Alliance Church spoke so clearly into my current season. Rooted in James 4, this message is a timely reminder of what it looks like to live out genuine faith — submitting fully to God, walking humbly, and letting go of a judgmental spirit toward others.

Following The Journey series, this episode feels like a natural next step — a call to examine our hearts, surrender pride, and align our lives with God’s will rather than our own opinions or comparisons.

This conversation challenges us to ask:
• Am I truly submitted to God?
• Am I walking in humility or in judgment?
• Does my faith show up in the way I treat others?

If you’ve been seeking direction, conviction, or clarity in your walk with Jesus, this episode will encourage you to pause, listen, and allow God to realign your heart through His Word.

Waiting on the Lord | Learning Patience, Trust, and Strength (Psalms 27 & 37)

In this episode, we talk about what it truly means to wait on the Lord — not passively, but faithfully. Drawing from Psalm 27 and Psalm 37, we explore how waiting is a spiritual discipline that strengthens us in both seasons of struggle and seasons of joy.

Waiting builds spiritual muscle. It teaches us patience when answers are delayed, contentment when circumstances don’t change, and trust when God’s promises feel far off. Waiting isn’t wasted time — it’s where God develops endurance, faith, and deep reliance on Him.

Whether you’re in a valley or on the mountaintop, this episode will encourage you to wait with hope, stand firm in God’s truth, and trust that He is working even when you can’t see it.

If you’ve been wrestling with impatience, uncertainty, or discouragement, this conversation will remind you that God is faithful — and His timing is perfect.
