  • S2E17: On Holy Delight - Metamorphosis, Letting go of Guilt, and Going from Glory to Glory
    Apr 14 2026

    What if your natural joy isn’t something to be suspicious of, but is simply how we are created to commune with God — our purest way to worship Him?

    You are allowed to enjoy your life. You are allowed to delight. And in doing so, you may be closer to God than you think.

    As we close out Season 2, this episode explores the idea of delighting in God through the ordinary, everyday moments of life. From personal reflections on spiritual transformation to the beauty of living “from glory to glory,” we talk about how the Holy Spirit gently reshapes us, not through pressure or performance, but through presence and communion — Jesus looking at you, and you looking at him.

    If you’ve ever wrestled with overthinking your faith, questioning what you enjoy, or wondering if it’s truly “good,” this conversation offers a fresh, biblical perspective on Christian joy, pleasure, and worship. Inspired by voices like Brother Lawrence and C. S. Lewis, we rediscover that every good and perfect gift—including joy—is grounded in God Himself.

  • S2E16: On Holy Mourning - Grief, Faith, and the Comfort of God
    Mar 26 2026

    Your mourning may be more holy than you realize.

    In this episode, we’re talking about mourning—what it is, what Scripture says about it, and why your grief is not a sign of weak faith, but an invitation into deeper intimacy with God. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “doing faith wrong” because you’re struggling, sorrowful, or walking through loss, this conversation is for you.

    Together, we explore the truth that mourning is not the absence of faith—it can actually be an expression of it.

    You’ll hear:

    • What the Bible says about grief, mourning, and lament
    • Why Jesus Himself modeled sorrow, compassion, and honest emotion
    • The powerful meaning behind “blessed are those who mourn”
    • How grief can become worship, honor, and connection with God
    • A personal reflection on loss, infertility, and finding Jesus as comforter in the middle of it
    • Practical ways to walk through grief—and support others in it—with faith and presence

    If you’re in a season of loss, disappointment, or quiet heartbreak… you are not alone. God is not asking you to rush past your grief—He is meeting you in it.
