Some phrases from scripture work their way into your personal language, and “exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20) is one of those, at least for me.

In this episode, I explore:
✨ How Abba’s abundance isn’t limited by our ability to plan or perform
💭 Why we struggle to trust, even when we say we believe
🌵 What it means for Him to make “a road in the wilderness” and “rivers in the desert”
⚖️ How our lack doesn’t cancel out His sufficiency
🕊️ And why protecting your peace might be the most spiritual decision you make this year

It’s an honest, meditative look at how Yahweh’s goodness often shows up in ways that don’t make sense - and how that might be the best news of all.

In this episode, I share life updates - from welcoming a new baby girl to navigating paternity leave, shifting priorities, and rediscovering grace in the creative process.

Ever felt like parts of your identity are being stripped away? Like your roles, routines, and “go-to strengths” are vanishing — and with them, your sense of self?

Me too.

In this deeply personal episode, I reflect on the crucifixion of Christ — not just as a historical event, but as a mirror for our own painful transitions. I ask:

🩸 What do we look like without all the “muscle”?

🪞 What if the identity we’re mourning… was never the full picture?

🙌 And what if the stripping away is actually how we find real life?

✨ In this episode:

• ​ The emotional + spiritual gut-punch of identity loss
• ​ How Jesus’ suffering helps us redefine strength
• ​ Romans 8: a Father who doesn’t reject, but teaches
• ​ Why “keeping it together” might be the very thing holding you back

💬 “He didn’t look like a savior. But He was never any less of a king.”

📝 Reflection Questions:

• ​ What identity is being peeled away right now? Does it hurt?
• ​ What have you let define you… that God is gently (or not-so-gently) asking you to surrender?
• ​ What version of “life” are you being invited to lose — so that you can truly find it?
