  • How to Find Your Purpose in Life Through God

    How to Find Your Purpose in Life Through God
    Dec 8 2025
    Have you ever wondered, “What am I really here for?” I used to think purpose and significance were reserved for pastors, leaders, or people who seemed “closer to God.” But Genesis 1:26-28 completely changed the way I see myself and you. In this episode of The Disciples Journal, I’m breaking down how God made every single person in His image and called us all to represent Him in our everyday lives. I share what it truly means to walk in authority, exercise dominion, and live out your purpose—no matter who you are, where you’re from, or what your past looks like. If you’ve ever felt unseen, insignificant, or unsure about your calling, this episode will help you see what God says about your value, your role, and your purpose in the world. I promise—this isn’t about titles, positions, or status. It’s about stepping into the life God made you for. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • 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.

    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.

    Oct 15 2025
    There was a time when God had all of me — my attention, my affection, my heart. But somewhere along the way, I got distracted by doing all the right things… and forgot the real reason I started. In this episode, I talk about how I found my way back — not through more discipline, but through a simple shift that changed everything about how I see and love God. This is for anyone who feels like their fire’s gone out, or that their relationship with God has become routine instead of real. If you’ve been showing up, praying, reading, and still feel distant… this conversation is for you. Because falling back in love with God isn’t about doing more — it’s about letting Him have your heart again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
