About Me
I am a follower of Jesus, a wife, and a mother of 2 girls. I love the beauty of nature, sunshine, Autumn, and bread and butter. Over the past few years, I have taken interest in learning about church history, world religions, and cults. I love listening to podcasts, and watching documentaries and biopics. And I love animated movies 🙂
Like most people who have faced various challenges in life, I have also experienced the pains of lack, depression, broken relationships, tangled faith, child loss, betrayal, illness, slander, you name it. But these were some of the very situations God was using to draw my heart, increase my knowledge of him, strengthen my trust in Him, and untangle harmful doctrines from my faith, and I am soo grateful!
When I became a Christian, I knew that I was a child of God. But it took some faith crises before I 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.
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 reevaluation my own worldview and questions I had. The next few years were marked with learning, growing, untangling, healing, and increasing clarity! And there came a time when 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 the Word-Faith and prosperity theology to what I believe is a more biblical worldview 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 is that it is 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 about much of what I was learning and common practices in the Christian coaching industry. 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. First, we are sinners who need a savior, and Jesus Christ is that savior. Second, we need biblical discipleship in the context of a healthy community of believers so that we can grow in the character of Christ.
Therefore, until we repent of our sins and accept God’s forgiveness, and the Lord changes the desires of our desires to a longing to please him through the process of sanctification by the Holy Spirit, and changes our vision from only seeing the here-and-now to the promised eternity; 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 without the help of God, and on the other hand, that we are too far gone, too lost or too sinnful to be saved by Christ. So I started to see how secular culture, prosperity doctrines, the New Thought movement, and so many self-help ideologies were highly integrated in much of what I was being exposed to in the Christian coaching industry. And frankly, I want to go beneath the surface and get to the heart of the matter.

About The Podcast
I wish to offer conversations and resources that fall under the general categories of:
- Faith, salvation, and survival testimonies
- Theology and doctrine
- Social/Religious Worldviews and Pseudo-Christian Movements awareness
- Mental and relational health
- Spiritual/religious abuse awareness and advocacy
- 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.Â
As for frequency:
I am still careful to prioritize the unpredictable needs of my family in this season. However, I would like to be able to post an episode bi-weekly.Â
With that said, I’m so glad you’re here. Please follow me on Facebook and Instagram, and let’s together seek to know Jesus, grow in His Word, heal from our hurts, and love like Christ.
