  • Feeling Empty Inside? Here’s What You’re Really Missing

    Feeling Empty Inside? Here’s What You’re Really Missing
    Nov 12 2025
    Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “Why do I still feel empty when everything seems fine?” You’ve got goals, friends, maybe even faith—but somehow, something still feels off. I know that feeling well. For a long time, I chased things that promised to fill me success, approval, comfort, distraction but no matter what I reached for, it never lasted. The truth is, that emptiness isn’t random. It’s what happens when we’re disconnected from the very Source of life itself. In this episode, I want to help you see why that emptiness exists and how the gospel is actually the answer to it. Because the reason Jesus had to die is that most of us are dead and don’t even know it. If you’ve ever felt numb, tired of going through the motions, or just ready to feel alive again, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about what you’re really missing and how to find life again in Him.

  • How to Know If It’s GOD or Just Your Thoughts

    How to Know If It’s GOD or Just Your Thoughts
    Nov 5 2025
    Have you ever thought you heard God… but later realized it might’ve just been you? I used to feel so confident about what I thought God was saying — until I realized most of what I “heard” was just my own emotions talking.I’d pray, feel peace for a second, and then doubt everything again. And if you’ve ever wondered, “Was that God’s voice, or just my thoughts?” — you’re not crazy. In this episode, I’m going to show you how to tell the difference between God’s voice and your own, so you can finally stop second-guessing and start hearing Him clearly.

    How to Read the Bible (And Actually Hear God’s Voice)
    Oct 22 2025
    Most people read the Bible to get information — but God gave it to us for intimacy. In this episode, I’ll show you how one simple question can transform your Bible reading into a real, two-way conversation with God. If you’ve ever felt distant from God or wondered why you can’t hear His voice, this will help you experience Scripture the way He intended — relationally, not religiously.
