There are moments when we love God deeply… but struggle to believe He loves us with the same steadiness.

In this episode of Prayers Over Coffee, we explore shame, striving, and the quiet fear of not being enough — and we return to the truth that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

You don’t have to earn what was already given.

So pour your coffee, breathe a little slower, and let grace sink deeper than shame ever has.

Some mornings don’t start bright.
They start heavy.

In this episode of Prayers Over Coffee, we talk honestly about those seasons when darkness feels close, energy feels low, and even getting out of bed feels like work.

Drawing from the Psalms, including David’s words written from caves and places of hiding, we explore what it looks like to choose light when circumstances haven’t changed yet. Not forcing joy. Not pretending everything is fine. Just taking one small, faithful step toward God’s presence.

This episode is for the tired heart.
For the one who loves Jesus but feels worn down.
For the one holding a warm cup of coffee, whispering, “Lord, I’m still here.”

We’ll reflect together, sit quietly with Scripture, and gently move into prayer reminding us that God is not just the light at the end of the tunnel… He is the Light with us in the tunnel.

Pull up a comfy chair, take a slow sip, and let’s rest in His presence together.

☕✨
Until next time, keep your coffee hot, your heart open, and your eyes on Jesus — and let every day be filled with encouragement, faith, and prayer for every heart.

Have you ever prayed, waited… and heard nothing back?

In this episode of Prayers Over Coffee, we talk honestly about those seasons when God feels quiet, distant, or hard to find. The moments when you’re doing all the “right” things, yet heaven seems still. When faith feels less like certainty and more like showing up anyway.

Over coffee, we explore what Scripture shows us about God’s silence, how waiting is not the same as being abandoned, and why quiet seasons often shape our faith more deeply than loud ones ever could. This conversation is gentle, reflective, and rooted in the truth that God is present even when He doesn’t feel close.

If you’re in a season of unanswered prayers, long pauses, or whispered doubts, this episode is for you. You’re not alone, and silence is never the end of the story.

Pull up a chair, take a breath, and let’s sit with Jesus together in the quiet.

☕💛
Until next time, keep your coffee hot, your heart open, and your eyes on Jesus — and let every day be filled with encouragement, faith, and prayer for every heart.

Prayers Over Coffee | Season 2, Episode 2

Mary Magdalene is one of the most misunderstood women in Scripture. For centuries, assumptions and labels have followed her — yet the Bible tells a far more beautiful story.

In this episode, we gently clear away the stigma and listen closely to what Scripture actually says. Mary’s journey isn’t about who she was before Jesus — it’s about who she became after she encountered Him.

This is an episode for anyone who has ever felt defined by their past, weighed down by shame, or unsure if God could truly use them. Through Mary’s story — and a few honest reflections along the way — we’re reminded that Jesus doesn’t just forgive… He restores, redefines, and sends.

So pull up a comfy chair, pour a fresh cup of coffee, and let’s sit with this truth together:
Your past does not disqualify you.
Your story is still being written.

Season 2, Episode 1: Do Not Dwell — Moving Forward with God

A new season doesn’t always begin with excitement.
Sometimes it begins with letting go.

In this opening episode of Season 2, Rachel invites you into a quiet, honest conversation about what it means to move forward with God without carrying the weight of everything behind you.

Rooted in Isaiah 43:18–19, this episode is a reminder that God is always doing something new — even when we’re still standing in old places, old memories, or old disappointments. Together, we talk about release, trust, and the courage it takes to stop dwelling on what was and step into what God is creating now.

With gentle reflection, Scripture woven into the conversation, and a smooth invitation into prayer, this episode feels like sitting across the table with a friend who understands what it’s like to take a step forward with shaky faith and an open heart.

So pull up a comfy chair, pour a fresh cup of coffee, and let’s step into this new season with Jesus together.

Prayers Over Coffee —
Encouragement, faith, and prayer for every heart.

As one year comes to a close and a new one quietly begins, it’s natural to pause, reflect, and take a breath.

In this special New Year episode of Prayers Over Coffee, Rachel invites you into a gentle moment of looking back with gratitude, releasing what no longer belongs in the next season, and stepping forward with hope anchored in God’s faithfulness.
