Ep. 014 | Love According To Everlean w/ Everlean Rutherford (Archived)

Can love alone sustain a healthy relationship, or are there other skills needed to maintain it? What does it mean for marriage to be our first ministry? What advice would you give to singles seeking a spouse? What advice would you give to a couple on the verge of calling it quits?

Ep. 013 | Speaking About Purpose w/ Joy (Archived Episode)

I'm bringing back this oldie but goodie for reasons 2 fold - (1) It's been a busy season, and I haven't been able to reach out to new guests, and (2) this episode is absolutely amazing. I think it's a timeless conversation for Believers to partake in...

Ep. 012 | Faithful After High School w/ Matthews Cancel

According to the Barna Group, roughly 70% of high school students who enter college as professing Christians, will leave with little to no faith. These students usually don't return to faith, even after graduation. For the 30% that remain faithful, much temptation tries to convince them to join their peers. What keeps them faithful through it all?

To answer that question, I sat down with my former student, Matthews, and discussed his faith journey post High School. It was such a joy to hear the strength of his conviction in the Lord! You'll be blessed by it as well!

Podcast Biblical Integrity Note: I made a comment in the middle of the episode referring to the woman at the well. I said, "Jesus could've stoned her, but he didn't". This was in error. The 'Woman At The Well' story did not involve a possible stoning - it involved Jesus associating with a Samaritan, contrary to the cultural Jewish norm of distancing themselves from this group of people...

Ep. 011 | Lessons In Contentment w/ Sheim Francis

For this episode, I'm riding solo as I give you all another installment of IVHISGLORY stories. Come along with me as I unpack my difficulty with this ministry over the past few weeks and what the Lord's shown me...

Ep. 010 | How Trauma Impacts Our Worship w/ Marcken Volmy

What is trauma? Are there any misconceptions/myths about trauma that need to be dispelled? How does trauma impact how we relate to God? How can we recognize when our trauma is influencing us more than Scripture is? Our trauma won’t be conquered overnight - how can we manage the complexities of our trauma for the glory of God?

Marcken Volmy, a licensed Mental Health practitioner, stopped by to answer these questions. This episode quickly became a personal therapy session for myself; a phenomenal discussion, through and through. I urge you to listen to this one - SO many gems! So much insight.

Ep. 009 | Unpacking Our Identity In Christ w/ Prov Newsome

One of the greatest challenges I had in my personal walk with the Lord was figuring out what having my identity in Christ meant. It was a 'Christianese' phrase I heard time and time again; I accepted and embrace it without fully understanding what it meant.

My guest for this episode, Proverb 'Prov' Newsome, unpacked the topic of our identity in Christ - what it means for us now, how we can operate in it, and what's at the root of our identity in Christ crisis. Press play!

About Proverb Newsome: When defined the word proverb means a wise saying. Well, when applied to one of Bomb Beach's most profound wordsmiths, the word takes on no less than the personification of its definition. Proverb Newsome has been dropping gems in ears since the early 90s. He first hit the national scene with his group 1Way with the project Destination Unknown. Proverb's solo project debut was A Common Man's Opus. This collection of songs that spoke directly from the heart of the artist. What he believes, why he believes it. Proverb Newsome's sophomore solo effort The Gaze LP features a more mature experienced emcee as well as more features than the Opus project. Proverb has released a number of singles and is currently working on his next album to be release 11/30/22. Stay tuned!

Ep. 007 | Let’s Talk Mental Health w/ Keren Gonzalez

In your own words, how would you define Mental Health? How would you rate the Church’s (local and global) handling of Mental Health amongst Christians? What could the Church do better? What would you say to the Christian who wants to seek help for their Mental Health, but feels like they’re “cheating” on Jesus? In others words, how can we normalize seeking help in the Body of Christ when it comes to our mental health?

My good friend, Keren - a mental health practitioner/counselor - stopped by to answer these questions! This is an episode you don't want to miss.
