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.

How to Read the Bible (And Actually Hear God’s Voice)
Most people read the Bible to get information — but God gave it to us for intimacy.
In this episode, I’ll show you how one simple question can transform your Bible reading into a real, two-way conversation with God.
If you’ve ever felt distant from God or wondered why you can’t hear His voice, this will help you experience Scripture the way He intended — relationally, not religiously.

How I Fell Back in Love With God (And How You Can Too)
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.

I share how I realized that distractions, idols, and divided attention can block what God is trying to say, and what it looks like to give Him your full focus again. This one’s all about clearing the noise so you can finally hear God clearly.

The ONE Verse Every Christian Man Must Know
Who told you what it means to be a man? Culture shouts that your worth comes from money, women, and status—but God says something entirely different. In this episode, we break down Psalm 1 to uncover the biggest lies men are told about identity and where true value is actually found. If you’ve ever wrestled with who you are, this conversation will show you the difference between being defined by the world and being rooted in God’s Word.
