Our intro to today's episode is presented by my special guest, HAYVEN!!! My sweet girl turns 5 years old today!

In this episode, we're discussing the pruning process. Staying connected to our Source is the key to living a free life. There are so many things pulling at us, vying for our attention, so it’s crucial to set aside time to connect with our Father.

Scripture: John 15:1-8

On this episode, we're talking about surrendering our lives to Jesus. Our lives are in His hands. It can be hard not to be self-reliant, but we cannot live a surrendered life with that mindset. We must submit to Jesus if we want true freedom.

2 Corinthians 9:8 “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.”

James 4:10 “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”

Luke 9:23 “Then He said to them all, if anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.”

**Bonus passage for your consideration: Luke 14:25-32

We're discussing pride and how it can harm our lives. God hates pride. Let's discuss what it is and how to eliminate it!

Proverbs 16:18 – Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.

Proverbs 29:23 “A man’s pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit will retain honor.”

Welcome to 2026!! Happy New Year!

On this episode, we're talking about letting go of guilt and shame. Our past does not define us. Our mistakes don't define us. If we repent for our sins and change our ways, we are made new in Christ.

Scriptures: Psalms 25:3, Acts 3:19, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 8:1

We're talking about rediscovering our identities in Christ rather than in trauma, achievements, relationships, or fear. The world hands us labels, but God gives us identity.

Scriptures of the week: 1 Peter 2:9, Ephesians 2:10, Psalms 139:14

Challenge: When you meet someone new, who do you say you are? Does that identity align with who God says you are? If not, take a moment and locate 5 things God says about you. You can start with the anchor scriptures from this episode. Leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts!

God asked me to start two new businesses that scared me—but I chose to obey anyway. In this episode, I share how I learned to trust Him, move forward afraid, and walk boldly into what He’s called me to do. If God is tugging on your heart to start something new, this episode will encourage you to step out in faith and do it scared.

In this deeply personal and healing-filled episode, we begin the real work of mending the heart after trauma, disappointment, heartbreak, and seasons that break us down to the core. This conversation is raw, honest, and led by the Holy Spirit as I share a part of my journey I’ve never spoken about publicly.

In 2025, I walked through one of the darkest seasons of my life — losing my home, facing painful challenges in my marriage, and wrestling with suicidal thoughts as the weight of everything felt too heavy to carry. I was empty, shattered, and unsure if I had anything left to give.

But it was in that broken place that God began the rebuilding.

It was in the emptiness that He began to fill me — not with the things I thought I needed, but with His strength, His peace, His identity, and His healing.

Welcome to the very first episode of The Pouring Point — a Christ-centered space where beauty, healing, and identity meet the truth of God’s Word. In this opening conversation, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing the real, raw journey behind this podcast… the delays, the fear, the resistance, and the intense adversity that hit me right before launching.

In this episode, I reveal how God often allows us to reach the pouring point — the place where we feel empty, stretched, overwhelmed, or uncertain — not to destroy us, but to fill us with something new. What the enemy meant to silence, God used as the very catalyst to push me into obedience
