About this listen

In Salt Not Sweetener, I invite you into the unfiltered journey of following Jesus. Here, I share the raw parts—the lessons learned, the moments I stumble, the grace that finds me, and the new understandings the Holy Spirit gives me. This podcast is a testimony in motion, created to remind you that you’re not alone and that God is working in your story, too.

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

  • Living Peaceably
    Dec 26 2025

    In a divided world, God calls His people to live differently. In this episode of Salt Not Sweetener, we reflect on Romans 12:18 and the sacred call to live peaceably with others — not through compromise, but through surrender. This conversation invites listeners to examine the posture of their hearts, releasing offense and choosing humility so the peace of Christ can reign. True peace is not passive; it is a spiritual discipline that reveals the transforming power of the gospel.

  • Touch Not
    Dec 22 2025

    In this spiritually weighty episode of Salt Not Sweetener, I invite listeners into a sobering reflection on God’s holiness, authority, and the seriousness of how we respond to what He has anointed. Anchored in the Scripture, “Touch not My anointed, and do My prophets no harm,” this episode challenges casual attitudes toward spiritual truth and calls for deeper reverence for God’s order.

    Through biblical insight and heartfelt reflection, I explore how offense, pride, and spiritual blindness can lead people to resist God’s work, often without realizing the implications. This episode examines the dangers of speaking against what God has called, the necessity of discernment, and the call to live a life marked by repentance, obedience, and humility before the Lord.

    Touch Not is not merely a warning—it is an invitation to self-examination, spiritual alignment, and renewed fear of the Lord. This episode will stir conviction, deepen discernment, and remind listeners that God fiercely guards His purposes and His people. A timely message for those seeking to walk in truth, holiness, and spiritual maturity.

  • Rooted in Truth
    Dec 20 2025

    In this episode of Salt Not Sweetener, I invite listeners into a deeply personal and transformative conversation about what it looks like to take God’s Word as truth — especially when our feelings, thoughts, and circumstances seem to tell a different story. Drawing from Scripture and my own testimony, I explore the difference between human perception vs. biblical truth, reminding believers that our emotions aren’t the ultimate measure of reality and that aligning our worldview with God’s Word brings freedom, clarity, and spiritual growth. Throughout the episode, I share how this shift in perspective has reshaped my walk with Christ and encourage listeners to root themselves in God’s unchanging truth, no matter what they’re facing.
