Why I am vegan and what the Bible has to say about that . . .
Why I’m Vegan — And How I Found Peace With It Biblically People often ask me why I’m vegan, and the truth is simple and deeply personal: I’m vegan because I love animals SO MUCH, and because I care deeply about the planet we are leaving behind for future generations. Animals have been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve raised them, rescued them, cared for them, and cried over them. I’ve seen their intelligence, their fears, their emotions, and the wa

Annulments, What Exactly Are They?
Annulments: What They Are, Where They Come From, and How God Sees Them Recently, I came across a post by a Catholic woman I follow online. She was sharing her beliefs about how the Catholic Church does not affirm same-sex marriage, and she did so respectfully and calmly — yet the comment section erupted. People began calling her judgmental, hypocritical, and unloving. Many pointed out that she herself was divorced and remarried, as if that somehow disqualified her from speaki

Pray for the nations
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18 Our world is aching. From war zones to hidden prisons, from famine to persecution — millions are suffering right now. But even when the pain feels too great to grasp, God still hears every cry. Last week, I felt led to pause and pray for five places where hearts are breaking and hope feels distant. I actually posted about this already on social media but totally forgot to hit “pu

My Current Favorite Podcasts
Below you will find my “go to” podcasts in 2025, in NO particular order. I absolutely love listening to podcasts, the genres I listen to are quite diverse and sometimes, I’ll find a new podcast and binge a handful of episodes that sound super promising, but then it just kinda goes downhill. I won’t be sharing those on my “recommended listening lists”, despite them having a handful of good episodes. The following podcasts though, are peak listening overall and have captured my

I’m Launching a NEW Podcast — And I’m Looking for Powerful God-Stories to Share
For the past several years, God has put something very specific on my heart: to create spaces where people can hear real testimonies of His power, His mercy, and His ability to rescue, transform, and redeem. Since 2020, I’ve launched three other podcasts. While those weren’t Christian-based shows, they did reach the people they needed to reach in that season — and I’m grateful for the doors God opened through them. But this new podcast is different. This one is rooted in fa
