if you’re frustrated with the men in your life, it’s time to look at your standards... AND your standards of God. because the truth is, if your view of Him is shallow, your expectations for men will be too.

what i talk about:
✨ why you can’t expect a man to lead, protect, and honour you if you don’t even know what that looks like in God’s Word
✨ the dangers of settling for “good enough” and why it always leads to frustration
✨ how godly men lead in purity, purpose, and spiritual authority - don’t settle for less
✨ why your own relationship with God sets the tone for the kind of man you’ll accept

scriptures i mention:

• proverbs 31:10 – "an excellent wife who can find? she is far more precious than jewels."
• 2 corinthians 6:14 – "do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers."
• ephesians 5:25 – "husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her."
• psalm 37:4 – "delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart."
• matthew 6:33 – "but seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness."
• proverbs 4:23 – "keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life."

if you’re out here settling for men who don’t reflect Christ, you need to pause. your standards of a man will only rise when your intimacy with God deepens. the closer you walk with Him, the clearer you’ll see what you deserve.

so many of us believe in the power of God’s forgiveness but still hold on to shame, guilt, and condemnation.

but that's a life of bondage because we can't truly recognise the gravity of Christ’s sacrifice and the freedom we now have in Him.

what i talk about:
✨ how unforgiveness of self is a rejection of God’s sovereignty
✨ the difference between conviction and condemnation (and how the enemy uses guilt to keep us trapped)
✨ the Old Testament vs. the new covenant of grace through Jesus
✨ why forgiving yourself isn’t about dismissing sin, but about surrendering it to God
✨ practical steps to release shame and walk in freedom

God’s forgiveness is final, sufficient, and complete. i pray this episode encourages you to embrace His grace fully and let go of the weight you’ve been carrying 💕

scriptures i mention:

• romans 8:1 – "there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
• isaiah 43:18-19 – "remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?"
• psalm 103:12 – "as far as the east is from the west, so far does He remove our transgressions from us."
• 2 corinthians 5:17 – "therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. the old has passed away; behold, the new has come."
• hebrews 10:14 – "for by a single offering He has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified."
• isaiah 53:5 – "but He was pierced for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities; upon Him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with His wounds we are healed."
• 1 john 1:9 – "if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
• ephesians 1:7 – "in Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace."
• galatians 5:1 – "for freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery."
• joel 2:25-26 – "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten."

main character syndrome... we’ve all been there.

the world tells us to put ourselves first, chase our truth, and make everything about us. but let’s be real: when we make ourselves the centre of the universe, we’re at war with God.

in this episode, i get real about how self-glorification (aka main character syndrome) directly opposes God’s purpose for our lives. i unpack why striving for control, validation, and self-exaltation doesn’t lead to freedom but to bondage.

what i talk about:
✨ what main character syndrome is and how it wars against God’s authority
✨ why putting yourself above God leads to spiritual emptiness
✨ the dangers of pride and self-glorification (spoiler: it never ends well)
✨ how to let go of control, surrender daily, and trust God fully
✨ the freedom, peace, and joy that come from living a life centred on Christ

scriptures i mention:

• john 3:30 – "He must become greater; i must become less."
• matthew 6:33 – "but seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."
• proverbs 16:18 – "pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall."
• luke 9:23 – "if anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me."
• philippians 2:3-4 – "do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others."
