About this listen

Welcome to Sifting Life. We're so glad you're here. In this space, we bring not just our life stories, but our faith. As we sift through the experiences life hands us. We trust in God's guidance to show us what to hold onto and what to release. Here we'll share our journeys of sifting through life with faith at the center, stories of how we've discerned through prayer and reflection, what truly matters. We'll invite guests to share their own faith-filled stories, and together we'll build a community grounded in God's wisdom. Want to connect with us?

  • Ep5: Discipleship & Today's Church
    Feb 10 2026

    In this episode, we open up about the vital role of true discipleship within church communities. We reflect on the hunger of new believers, who, like newborns seek to be nurtured in faith. We dive deep into how churches can truly welcome and guide them.


    We also reflect on weary church leaders who need renewal. Our Sifting Life ministries seek to dismantle gatekeeping, reorganize leadership by developing intergenerational models and offer deliverance to all, therefore restoring these leaders—so they can rebuild on Christ’s principles and shepherd with strength and grace. 'Go therefore and make disciples of all nations' (Matthew 28:19).'

  • Ep4: Deliverance, Altars & Idols
    Jan 8 2026

    In this episode, we have an honest and grounded conversation about deliverance—what it truly is, what it isn’t, and why it remains relevant for believers today.We explore the concept of altars, not only in a biblical sense, but in how they show up in modern life through repeated patterns, agreements, habits, and unexamined loyalties. Some altars are built intentionally. Others form quietly over time through fear, success, trauma, or survival.We also unpack idols—not as obvious false gods, but as anything that subtly takes priority over God: control, performance, approval, comfort, over-achieving, or even good things that become ultimate things.This episode isn’t about fear, condemnation, or extremes.It’s about awareness, humility, repentance, and freedom.If you’ve noticed cycles that keep repeating, resistance in certain areas of your life, or a sense that breakthrough feels close but never quite lands, this conversation offers clarity and invitation—not pressure.Deliverance begins with truth.Freedom begins with surrender.Alignment begins when the heart turns fully back to God.
