Happy New Year, friend! Today, we're talking about the lie that keeps us consuming instead of creating and why God created you to be a builder, not just a taker.

In this episode, we're diving into:

• The lie that says "I'm not ready to create yet—I need to consume more first"
• Why consuming other people's content keeps you stuck in their calling while yours sits dormant
• The truth that God doesn't call the qualified—He qualifies the called
• What it looks like to step into your Creator identity (even when you're scared)
• Practical steps to stop consuming and start creating this week

Journal Prompts for this episode:

1. What have I been consuming instead of creating?
2. What is God calling me to create right now?
3. What's one thing I'm going to create this week?

Your mind is a garden. And just like any garden, it requires daily tending. The lies we've believed don't just disappear because we got saved. The wounds from our past don't automatically heal because we started going to church. Transformation requires our active participation.

In this episode, we're diving into:

• What Romans 12:2 really means for our daily lives
• The lie that transformation happens passively
• The truth that we are stewards of our minds, not victims of our thoughts
• A vivid picture of what the "garden" metaphor actually looks like (soil, seeds, weeds, water, sunlight, and fruit)
• How to start doing the work of uprooting lies and planting truth

Journal Prompts for this episode:

1. What's one lie I've been believing about myself, God, or my circumstances?
2. What does God's Word say about that lie?
3. What would change in my life if I truly believed God's truth instead of that lie?

Are you yoked to peace or to pressure?
In this episode, we unpack Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11:28–30 to exchange our heavy burdens for His rest. If you’ve been overwhelmed by life transitions, anxious about your future, or trying to carry what was never yours to begin with, this is your reminder: you don’t have to do it all.

Let’s talk about the real meaning of a “yoke,” why Jesus used that image, and how to walk lighter in a world that wants you to carry more.
