What if the way you show up changes the entire atmosphere? In this episode, we explore the fragrance of Christ through a hilarious real-life story, Scripture, and neuroscience. Learn how presence, peace, and love impact the nervous system, shape connection, and help us carry God’s peace into everyday moments. A faith-based conversation about embodiment, spiritual growth, and how love can be felt—not just spoken.
Ever been sitting on the couch, minding your business…
and suddenly realized something smells horrific?
Yeah. Same.
In this episode, I tell a very real (and very funny) family story involving:
But here’s where it gets deeper—
That moment became a revelation about how we show up,
what we carry,
and the atmosphere we create everywhere we go.
Because whether we realize it or not,
we all bring a fragrance into the room.
Not perfume.
Not cologne.
But presence.
In This Episode, We Explore:
✨ Why how you show up matters more than what you say
✨ The biblical idea of being the aroma of Christ (2 Corinthians 2:15)
✨ How love, peace, and safety are felt before they’re understood
✨ The neuroscience behind scent, memory, and emotional connection
✨ Why God didn’t call us to perform—He called us to carry
✨ How love as a fragrance can change a room without a single word
A Little Brain Science (The Fun Kind)
Did you know the part of your brain that processes smell connects directly to the emotional and memory centers?
That’s why:
God designed us this way on purpose.
Which means when Scripture talks about the fragrance of Christ—
it’s not poetic fluff.
It’s embodied truth.
💗 The Big Takeaway
You don’t have to convince people of God’s love.
You get to let them experience it
through how you enter rooms,
respond to stress,
and show up in ordinary moments.
You’ve been entrusted with a fragrance.
Not to perform.
But to carry.
🎯 This Week’s Simple Challenge

your home, your work, a conversation—

“God, what fragrance am I bringing with me right now?”
Then choose one:
That’s it.
No pressure.
