I am first and foremost a Child of God, and that is not a small thing for me to say. Ever since I came to Christ, I have known that I was a child of God. But it took some shaking before I really embraced the reality and implications of that in my life. And yes, that has something to do with the name of this podcast, as I’ll discuss later on.

I am also a wife and mother of 2 girls whom God has used in so many ways. It was many years ago that The Lord began poking on some of my world views. But it was sometime before the birth of my first daughter that I started paying attention, after I went from being a newly-wed to fast entering a season of health challenges and back-to-back miscarriages, and eventually a very complication filled birth process of my first daughter, developing complications that I didn’t fully recover from until almost a year after the birth of my second daughter. Still, it wasn’t until 2020 that I took time to begin looking deeper into many of my questions. The next few years were marked with learning, growing, untangling healing, and increased clarity! And I had to gather up the courage to own up to the changes that were taking place in my mind and heart; going from seeing the world through the lens of Word-Faith and prosperity theology to where I am now. 

And then, I am a certified Christian life and mental health coach. I love to see people build healthy relationships, especially within the body of Christ, and I love to empower and encourage women. But one message that I hope will echo through this platform more than the old is this: it is so much more possible to be reconciled in relationships with people after we have allowed our hearts to be reconciled to God through Christ. Learning about the doctrines I once held not only untangled my faith, it also shifted my perspective and desired focus for coaching. While it is definitely beneficial to understand family dynamics, love languages, our strengths and weaknesses, his and her needs, to set goals and make plans, and to learn personality profiles,  It is much more important that we address the tendencies of the human heart and recognize the primary solution for It’s sicknesses. 

Therefore, until The Lord first changes our hearts and fills us with himself, and changes our desires to a longing to please him, and changes our vision from only seeing the here-and-now to seeing the promised eternity; and until we believe in the gospel of Christ and allow it to become the power that transforms us, all our good efforts may be nothing more than self-help formulas wrapped up in Christian lingo and void of the very power of the gospel. And more so, we may risk falling into the trap of thinking that; on the one hand, we have the power to create the life we want all by ourselves, and on the other hand, that we are too far gone, too lost or too messed up to surrender that life to Christ. Focusing on outer responses can lead us to deceive ourselves that with the right program, we will cash out on the perfect life because we did all the steps. So I started to see how secular culture, prosperity doctrines, and so many self-help ideologies were highly integrated in much of what I saw even in the Christian coaching industry. And frankly, I want to go beneath the surface and get to the heart of the matter.

What To Expect From This Podcast:

Topics that fall under the general categories of:  Faith and salvation, theology and doctrine, mental and relational health, spiritual/religious abuse advocacy and awareness, and discipleship and Christian living. It is also my desire to connect with other Christians who are smarter than myself to share their wisdom on these topics. So do get in touch with me if that’s you and I will be thrilled to schedule a talk with you.
