Understanding Manipulation

Is manipulation just a personality trait, or is it fundamentally antithetical to a life of faith? In today’s video, we’re diving deep into the mechanics of manipulation from a Christian perspective to help you protect your peace and honor God in your relationships. We often recognize when a conversation feels "off," but we can’t always name why. By looking at the heart of the Gospel, we see a God of invitation, not coercion. I break down why manipulation—at any level—is a direct contradiction to the way we are called to love one another. What You’ll Learn: * The Three Tiers of Manipulation: A framework for identifying how control scales from subtle influence to overt pressure. * The Biblical Contrast: Understanding why the "God of the Bible" never uses the tactics common in manipulative circles. * Real-World Roleplays: I walk through several common scenarios to help you hear the "hidden scripts" of manipulation in real-time.

When Christian Living Becomes Tiring

The name of Jesus ought to bring us excitement, joy, and comfort. So why then does it trigger feelings of guilt, pressure, and inadequacy in so many Christians? I submit to you that many of us have not properly understood the gospel. And even for those who do understand it, we still order our lives as if we didn't. As a result, we experience burnout and fatigue. In this episode, we'll explore the true nature of the gospel! From there, we'll look at practical ways to make our pursuit of Christ both life-giving and restful!

Using the Bible to Kill Sin - Drew Reynolds

Join me as I sit down with Drew Reynolds (aka. Absolute Drewth) to answer these questions!

When Christians Struggle to Connect with Church

Let's face it. Good community is not the easiest thing to come by. Western culture is so focused on the individual that it's hard to build and maintain meaningful connections with other believers. But what if the Bible taught us something more profound about the nature of the church? In this episode, we discuss how we can reflect the heart of God together as the body of Christ!

A Listening Ear — The Greatest Gift You Can Give

What if the greatest gift you could give someone was something that didn't cost you money? What if it didn't require a PhD or a counseling degree? What if the greatest gift you could give was simply your attention? In this episode, we discuss why, as Christians, listening is an important part of loving!

How to Connect Powerfully with the Holy Spirit

Some call the Holy Spirit the “forgotten” member of the Trinity. But what if He’s actually one of the greatest gifts given to the Christian? We miss out on so much when we neglect our relationship with Him. In this episode, we’ll explore how to build a strong connection with the Holy Spirit through intentionality, authenticity, and audacity!
