- 31 minutes 55 secondsWhy You Shouldn’t Chase Happiness… Fruit of the Spirt Series Ep 2. JOY
What is the difference between happiness and joy—and why does it matter?
In this episode of our Fruit of the Spirit series, we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood fruits of the Spirit: joy. Many of us spend our lives chasing happiness through success, relationships, achievements, or the next season of life, only to find ourselves still longing for something deeper.
The Bible paints a different picture. Joy isn’t dependent on our circumstances—it’s rooted in the unchanging character and presence of God.
Together, we’ll explore:
- The difference between happiness and biblical joy
- Why joy is a fruit of the Spirit, not something we can manufacture on our own
- How Scripture teaches us to experience joy even in difficult seasons
- What commonly steals our joy (comparison, control, gratitude, and more)
- Practical ways to cultivate lasting joy in everyday life
Whether you’re walking through a mountaintop season or a valley, this conversation will encourage you to discover the kind of joy that remains steady no matter what life brings.
Key Scriptures
- Galatians 5:22-23
- Psalm 16:11
- Habakkuk 3:17-18
- James 1:2-4
- Hebrews 12:2
- Philippians 4:4
- Nehemiah 8:10
Journal Prompt
What circumstance have I been waiting to change before allowing myself to experience joy, and what would it look like to trust God in that area today?

In today’s episode, I’m reflecting on my very first year of motherhood and sharing everything I’ve learned along the way—the beautiful, the hard, and the completely unexpected.

9 June 2026, 9:00 am - 30 minutes 36 secondsThe Most Misused Word in Christianity | Fruit of the Spirit Series Ep. 1 LOVE
Welcome to the first episode of our new Fruit of the Spirit series! 🍎🌿
We're kicking things off with love—the first fruit listed in Galatians 5:22 and the foundation for every other fruit that follows. But what does biblical love actually look like? Is it a feeling, a choice, or something more?
In this episode, we unpack the different Greek words for love, why Jesus said loving God is the greatest commandment, and how our ability to love others flows directly from our relationship with Him. We'll also talk about the difference between the world's definition of love and the sacrificial, selfless love that Christ demonstrated for us.
Whether you're struggling to love difficult people, wanting stronger relationships, or simply desiring to grow closer to God, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to pursue the kind of love that never fails.
Key Scriptures:
- Galatians 5:22–23
- Matthew 22:37–39
- 1 Corinthians 13
- 1 John 4

2 June 2026, 8:00 am - 51 minutes 2 secondsWhy My Husband Married Older and How He Handled My Past
In this episode, Kaleb shares his perspective on our age-gap relationship, and honestly… it was such a sweet and vulnerable conversation. We talked about what it was like dating someone older, navigating different life stages, and handling outside opinions while trying to build a healthy, God-centered relationship. We also opened up about purity, past relationships, healing from trauma, and how grace completely changed the way we approached each other’s stories.
Kaleb shares why ambition, accountability, and emotional maturity mattered more to him than age, and we talk honestly about what to look for before pursuing an age-gap relationship. We also got real about marriage, career dreams, law school, social media pressures, and learning how to grow with each other instead of expecting perfection from day one.
Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that your past does not define you, God’s grace is bigger than your mistakes, and every relationship story is going to look different. And that's okay! 💛

15 May 2026, 1:00 pm - 51 minutes 4 secondsVulnerable Things I Still Struggle With as a Christian
In this episode, I’m getting super real and vulnerable with you guys about the things I often quietly struggle with behind the scenes as a Christian, wife, mom, and influencer. From insecurities and fear of man to mom guilt, marriage struggles, and feeling unqualified in my faith sometimes, I wanted to remind you that no one has it all together.
Social media can make us believe everyone else is perfect, but the truth is—we’re all fighting battles. I share honestly about comparison, performative Christianity, balancing motherhood with work, and how God meets us even in our weakness. My prayer is that this episode helps you feel less alone and reminds you that vulnerability, testimony, and bringing things into the light are where true freedom begins.
