In this episode of In Totality, Iām talking about what it means to truly live as a sacrifice for God.As Christians, we love the idea of purpose, calling, and blessing, but what about surrender? What about the moments when obedience costs you relationships, opportunities, reputationāor comfort? Scripture tells us to offer our lives as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to Godā¦ but are we really willing to endure suffering and persecution for His nameās sake?Whether your walk with Christ means walking away from whatās easy, whatās popular, or what makes sense to the world ā itās worth it! If youāve ever wrestled with obedience when itās hard, or felt the weight of standing firm in your faith, this conversation is for you!Tune in and be reminded: He is worthy of it all!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

EP 65: Faith Reframed: Grace, Renewal, and the Journey with Carl Lentz
In this episode of In Totality, I had the pleasure of speaking with Carl Lentz for a vulnerable, honest, and meaningful conversation about grace, redemption, and what a renewed faith looks like.This is Carlās first time on the podcast, and we didnāt hold back. We talked about the power of Godās correction, and the process of rebuilding faith, and what it means to live fully dependent on God ā even in the private, hidden places too.If youāve ever felt disqualified, distant, or unsure of how to move forward with your faith, I pray this episode reminds you: God still calls, covers, and invites us to walk with Him toward wholeness.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

EP 64: Navigating Faith in Seasons of God's Presence and Silence
Have you ever felt on fire in your faith, only to wake up one day and feel like God is distant? I know I have. It can be confusing, discouraging, and even a little scary. But hereās what Iāve learnedāthese shifts arenāt random. Theyāre part of the faith journey.In this episode of In Totality, Iām diving into the spiritual cycles of consolation and desolationāthose seasons when God feels incredibly close and those when He seems silent. Why does He allow these shifts? What is He teaching us in them? And how do we keep trusting Him when we donāt feel Him?I want to remind you: God is just as present in the silence. If youāve been walking through a dry season, questioning where God is, or just trying to hold onto faith when things feel uncertain, this episode is for you!
