Hey Sis 💛

If someone were to watch your life this week, what would it point to?

In today’s devotional Bible study, we sit with John 1:29–34 and reflect on what a life well-lived truly looks like—not one driven by striving or performance, but one rooted in obedience, faithfulness, and trust in God’s timing.

Through the testimony of John the Baptist, we’re reminded that clarity doesn’t always come first—but faithfulness matters until God reveals what’s next.

If you’ve been quietly asking God, “What am I supposed to do now?”—this episode is for you.

• A grounding Biblical affirmation • Scripture study in John 1:29–34 • A devotional reflection on waiting, obedience, and purpose • A thoughtful journal prompt for your current season • Prayer and encouragement for uncertain seasons

📅 January 20–21 ⏰ 8:00 PM EST (replays included)

This two-day experience is a grace-filled reset for your faith:

Day 1: Identity — who you are and whose you are Day 2: Holy Habits — building a sustainable faith rhythm

Hey Sis 💛

Have you ever felt exhausted trying to be the version of yourself everyone else expects you to be?

In today’s devotional Bible study, we slow down in John 1:19–28 and reflect on the freedom that comes from knowing who you are—and who you are not—in Christ. Through the testimony of John the Baptist, we’re reminded that our identity is not rooted in titles, labels, or expectations, but in what God’s Word says about us.

This episode includes: ✨ A powerful Biblical affirmation 📖 Scripture study in John 1 🫶🏽 A midweek heart, head, and soul check-in 📓 A reflective journal prompt 🙏 Prayer and encouragement for your day

If you’ve been carrying pressure, comparison, or expectations God never placed on you, this episode is for you.

Hey Sis 💛 Today we’re continuing our John study in John 1:6–18, and this passage is such a grounding reminder: we are called to be witnesses of the Light—Jesus Himself.

In this episode, we talk about testimony—not as something you have to perform or package perfectly, but as the simple, honest story of what God has done and how He has carried you. I also share a personal testimony from a season that felt uncertain, and how the Holy Spirit was present, protective, and faithful every step of the way.

If you’ve ever wondered: “Does my story really matter?” or “How do I share my faith without feeling nervous or unqualified?” —this episode is for you.

John 1:6–18

Hey Sis 💛

As we begin a new year together, many believers find themselves longing for closeness with God—not more pressure, routines, or striving… just relationship.

In this opening episode of our January study through the Gospel of John, we begin gently. If your faith feels a little off right now, this is a safe place to land.

Together, we return to the foundation found in John 1, where we’re reminded of who Jesus is—the Word, the Light, and the One who comes near before we ever get it right. This episode isn’t about fixing your faith. It’s about beginning again with grace.

• A biblical affirmation from John 1 • A gentle reflection on why faith can feel misaligned • An overview of the Gospel of John and why we’re starting here • A journal prompt to carry with you all week • A closing prayer inviting God’s light into weary places

Whether you’re feeling spiritually refreshed or quietly worn down, you’re welcome here. We’ll be walking through John together—one chapter at a time—rebuilding a grace-filled walk with God.

🎧 New episodes Monday–Friday 📖 January Series: Faith Restored — Rebuilding a Grace-Filled Walk With God Through John

I’d love for you to join me January 20–21 for the Faith Restored Workshop — a free, two-day experience designed to help you reset your rhythm with God and step into a consistent walk with Him again.
