In Jesus’ Name | Christian Podcast | Overcoming Fear and Shame to Live Free in Jesus Name

✨ In Jesus’ Name Podcast | Episode: “The Rudder of the Heart — Small Choices, Big Direction” ✨

Our final episode in the series on hope. Are little choices putting holes in your ship? Are you making the right choices that steer your boat in the right direction? Or are you lost at sea because you've put your hope in something other than Christ?

My hope is in the transformation process that occurs when I walk with Jesus daily. My mind is transformed, my decisions are aligned with God's will, I am more obedient to His commands and I look more like Jesus. 

In this episode, we’re talking about how God directs our lives like a rudder steers a ship. Ephesians 4:19–22 reminds us to “put off the old self” and be renewed in our minds. God showed me how even the smallest, most ordinary choices can completely change the direction of our lives. Each decision is like a tiny turn of the rudder — and when we surrender those turns to Him, He leads us toward freedom, purpose, and transformation.

🎧 Listen now and be encouraged to let the Holy Spirit guide your daily choices and renew your heart.

Transformed by His Presence, Not My Performance

This morning, God gently showed me something I didn’t even realize—I’d been living with a performance-based faith. I was striving to do everything “right,” but missing the simple truth that I just need more of Him. In this episode, I share how God met me in that moment and began transforming my mind and heart. It’s not about doing more for Him, it’s about being with Him. When we shift from performing to abiding, that’s where real transformation begins.

Are you a slave to performance? You are Free in Christ | No Longer a Slave to the Law

When we live by the law, we live in bondage — always striving but never feeling enough. But when we live in Christ, we step into true freedom. Jesus fulfilled the law so we could walk in grace, not guilt.

In this episode, we talk about what it means to stop striving for perfection and start living in the freedom that comes through faith in Jesus. You are no longer a slave to rules, religion, or your past — you are a child of God, covered by His love and led by His Spirit.

Is there a secret key to hearing from and walking with God? Hope is fueled by the power of the Holy Spirit. Hope gives us the ability to go "there".

Hope is the wind in our sails—it moves us forward when life’s seas get rough. Hope isn’t just wishful thinking; it’s the power of the Holy Spirit at work in us. There’s no secret formula to hearing from God or walking in relationship with Him. It’s all because of Jesus. Through Him, we have access to the Father, we receive the Spirit, and we are given a confident hope that anchors our lives.

When the days seem long and one thing happens after another: Hope is our anchor

Life brings storms—some small, some overwhelming—but every day has its waves. In this episode, we’ll talk about why hope in Christ must be our anchor when the winds of worry, fear, and discouragement rise. Hope isn’t wishful thinking; it’s a steady confidence rooted in God’s promises. Just like an anchor keeps a boat from drifting in rough waters, true hope keeps our faith grounded in truth when life feels unsteady. Join us as we explore how to hold fast to Jesus, the sure and steadfast anchor for our souls, and find stability in the everyday storms.

How to have hope in a hopeless situation: Hope isn't a feeling

Hope is more than a passing feeling—it’s a confident belief rooted in truth. In this episode, we’ll talk about what it means to have a right view of God and ourselves in Christ, so that our hope is anchored in His promises rather than shifting emotions. Our faith is like a boat: strong enough to withstand the storms when it’s built on truth, but fragile when riddled with holes of lies and unbelief. If our hope is grounded in anything less than Christ, we’ll be tossed and battered by the waves. Join us as we explore how to strengthen the hull of our faith, seal up the cracks of doubt, and sail with confidence, knowing our hope in Jesus is sure and steadfast.

Even Judas had a relationship with Jesus: How to live a life of freedom and not lies and shame

Did you know that you can be a Christian and still give pieces of yourself over to the enemy? Just because we open our bible and pray, doesn't mean we are walking in freedom. Listen to find out how you can walk in freedom and what it means to no longer believe lies or be stuck in bondage.

My story: Spiritual warfare - from darkness to light

A raw and real look into what it was like growing up seeing demons and walking in darkness. My story of hope and why saying In Jesus’ Name is so meaningful to me. Jesus did not die on the cross so that you could be kind of set free. Walk in freedom because Christ has set you free.
