with a heavy heart, I recorded this.

I hope that you heard something that comforted and/or encouraged you.

Standing for human rights should not be this difficult.. Every human being should have the basic necessities they need, regardless of ethnic background, religion or otherwise.

Humanity is in need of healing - from oppression, greed, selfish ambitions and the hatred and bitterness that has festered for so long and is now being spilled out on the innocent.

I stand with Palestinians because they are human beings whom God loves and they are my brothers and sisters.

Spiritual and physical mobilization will help us to overcome the evil in this world. May we never lose sight of the King and His Kingdom. He is our only hope.

Hey everyone! In today's episode, I delve into the definition of shame, why it exists, and how we can overcome it through the Cross and Christ's grace shone to us. He is the reason we can hope, look past the old and reclaim the identity that He gave us from the beginning.

In honor of Women's History Month this March and International Women's Day last week, I wanted to speak to us women on this podcast and share with y'all the insights I've learned in my short time as a woman. I delve into unlocking grace, embracing your uniqueness and leaning into God's strength because we can't and should not have to do it all on our own. I hope y'all are blessed by this one, it was especially fun to record and leave me a reply on what you thought! I'm kinda thinking of doing a part 2...

My favorite podcasts :)

The Basement with Tim Ross (He is a life changing man. I'm so happy I discovered him and my dream is to meet him one day and give him the biggest hug ever. When you listen you'll understand why.)

Thirty Minutes with the Perrys (my absolute faves. Bible teachers, poets (they really have a way with words that blows me AWAY), funny as heck together and so wise.. I binge these pods many times that's how good they are).

WHOA That's Good Podcast- Sadie Rob is one of my OGs. Her boldness and courage to walk in her faith as a young woman has inspired me since I was a teen. She is one of my first Christians who helped me in my faith walk when I began in high school and I have not looked back since. I adore this girl.)

As For Me and My House (Milena and Jordan Ciciotti- I love these two with my whole heart. Been a follower of Milena's since 2017 (THAT'S MY GORL) They are an exemplary couple who love God and talk about all things family, faith, marriage, YOU NAME IT)

Mornings with the Masters (quick devotional style from one of the sweetest godly couples that I am also in love with. The have a special grace and cadence about them that's so in sync and peaceful.)

Happy and Healthy with Jeanine Amapola (love this girl. She is a beast woman of God who is such a leader in the faith.)

Hi everyone! 

Happy 2023. Today I am back with a podcast all about embracing the broken parts of you. It's a heavy topic but one that we need to hear today. 

I hope and pray it blesses you and that you begin to walk with pride in your brokenness and let it be. Let the wounded parts of you begin to breathe as they heal and do not shy away from allowing the Lord in. He was broken for you and me, so He knows what to do with broken things. 

Stay blessed and keep shining :)

Hi everyone! Today I want to share with you a small tidbit of what I've been learning through my Bible reading of 1 Kings. I talk about the demise of Solomon and how God used his disobedience to redeem his story for the ages to come. I hope this blesses and encourages you to know that we have a redeeming God who is an expert at using all of us for good (shout-out Romans 8:28!)

Hi everyone! I'm so thankful to be back recording on A Work in Progress with my friend and brother, Caleb Conant. We discussed our childhood friendships, bullying experiences, and the qualities we want in friends and are working to cultivate in ourselves as friends. I hope this podcast blesses you and inspires you to become the friend that you want to have. 

A man who has friends must himself be friendly, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24
