Monday Meditations: Dusty FeetWe follow headlines, influencers, and trends — but are we still following Jesus? In a world obsessed with the next big thing, this episode calls us back to the quiet, dusty road behind the Savior. Walk slower. Look closer. Follow deeper. Let’s rediscover what it really means to so closely pursue our Savior that we are covered in the dust of His feet. Questions to ask yourself this week: - Whose dust are you wearing?- Are you covered in the noise of the world, or the presence of the Savior?- Do...2025-04-2909 minMIDWEEK RISE UPMIDWEEK RISE UPS04: 06 Submission is not a dirty word - feat. Charlie KirkWhenever Charlie and I have a chance to collaborate on a podcast episode together, they quickly become my favorite. Today we're answering real, unscripted questions exclusively from his members.charliekirk.com audience. We touch on everything from faith and calling, to marriage, to navigating the hard places in life with grace and truth. If you hear something today that feels hard—especially if it's rooted in Scripture—I encourage you to bring it before the Lord. Ask Him to reveal what He wants to show you in it.

It was always meant to start quietly—in the surrendered corners of a life fully yielded. In your kitchen. In your commute. In the stillness before the noise.It’s not hype. It’s holiness. Not a moment. A rhythm. A daily choosing to breathe deeply of His Spirit and burn steadily with His presence.Because when we live in revival, joy returns. Hearts soften. Love ignites—and it spreads.But how do we stay lit in a world constant...2025-04-2215 minMIDWEEK RISE UPMIDWEEK RISE UPS04: 05 Blooming Out of ComparisonComparison isn’t just a distraction—it’s a sin.It’s a silent thief that creeps in unnoticed and leaves devastation in its wake—robbing you of joy, distorting your view of God, and chaining your purpose in insecurity.In this episode, we confront the lie that you need to measure up, catch up, or keep up.We’ll walk through Jeremiah 17:5–8 and Psalm 1:1–3 to reveal the beauty and strength of a woman who is planted, rooted, and fruitful—not because she hustles harder, but because she trusts deeper.Here’s what we’re breaking down...2025-04-1747 minMIDWEEK RISE UPMIDWEEK RISE UP39.

It weighs just a few ounces and lives behind your teeth, yet it can split friendships, sow discord, or breathe life into dry bones.We’re talking about the tongue.Not just what it says—but what it reveals.Jesus said, “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” That means your words are not random—they’re reflections. Of your thoughts. Of your beliefs. Of your heart.In this episode, we unpack the spiritual weight of our speech.

Monday Meditations: Unlocking GratitudeThis week, we’re reflecting on unlocking gratitude—not from getting more, but from recognizing what God has already given us: His love, forgiveness, new life, purpose in suffering, and the promise of eternity.Join us as we meditate on five truths that shift our focus from what’s missing to all we already have in Christ.📖 Scripture highlights: Romans 12:12, 1 John 3:1, Galatians 2:20, Revelation 21:4, John 8:32🙌 Challenge: Meditate on these truths for 30 days. Let them change you.💬 Leave a verse or word that’s encouraged you in the reviews—we’re in this together.2025-04-0812 minMIDWEEK RISE UPMIDWEEK RISE UPS04: 03 A Heart Rooted in Trust | Bloom Conference 2025In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the choices that define our lives: Will we trust in man and live a cursed life, or place our trust in the Lord and flourish like a tree planted by the water? Rooted in Jeremiah 17:5-8, we unpack the stark contrast between relying on human strength and surrendering fully to God’s will.Through personal reflections, biblical examples, and real-life analogies (yes, even house-hunting nightmares!), we explore what it means to truly trust in God—not just on the surface, but with every fiber of our being.Expec...2025-04-0339 minMIDWEEK RISE UPMIDWEEK RISE UP37. Monday Meditations: Seasons of Feeling InvisibleIn this episode I just want to encourage you as you go through the "unseen" season of life. Where you feel invisible to God. Don’t despise the waiting. Don’t mistake silence for absence. God is near, even now. He is working in ways you cannot yet comprehend. Every moment of faithfulness, every unseen act of obedience, is being woven into something far greater than you could ever imagine. You are not on pause. You are being positioned. You are not forgotten. You are fortified. And when the time comes, when the season shifts, you will step...2025-04-0113 minMIDWEEK RISE UPMIDWEEK RISE UP36. Monday Meditations: Heart, Soul, StrengthLoving God with all our heart, soul, and strength is a beautiful command, one designed to deepen our relationship with Him. Yet, when we truly consider what it means, it can feel overwhelming. When we experience a true relationship with Him, nothing else will satisfy our soul. While we will always be growing in our love for God, we do so with the assurance that He strengthens us, renews our minds, and transforms our hearts. And even as we strive to love Him more, we rest in the truth that “we love because He fi...2025-03-2510 minMIDWEEK RISE UPMIDWEEK RISE UP35. Monday Meditations: Garments of Praise“Who designed your outfit?” or “What brand are you wearing?” The world chases after couture, but as Christians, we are called to be clothed in something far greater—a garment of praise. When we choose to wear praise, we shift our focus from the temporary to the eternal. Praise is not just a song or a moment in church; it is a lifestyle, a spiritual covering that reminds us of God’s goodness in every season. The world may define status by outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. Instead of being draped in anxiety...2025-03-1809 minMIDWEEK RISE UPMIDWEEK RISE UP34. Monday Meditations: Love Your NeighborThere is a dangerous message in today’s culture that equates love with silent approval. But love without truth is not love at all—it is deception. True Christian love is courageous. It requires discernment. It extends grace while standing firm in righteousness.But what does this actually look like in practice, especially in today’s world? How do we love our neighbors when they don’t think like us, when they don’t vote like us, or when they mock what we believe?We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless...2025-03-1110 minMIDWEEK RISE UPMIDWEEK RISE UPS04: 02 Breaking Free from Mom GuiltDo you ever feel like you’re not measuring up as a mom?

In this episode, we’re having an honest heart-to-heart about mom guilt, comparison, and the impossible standards we place on ourselves. Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom juggling little ones or a working mom trying to balance it all, we’ll dive into biblical encouragement and practical wisdom to help you find peace, purpose, and joy in the season you’r...2025-03-0516 minMIDWEEK RISE UPMIDWEEK RISE UP33. Monday Meditations: Stewardship of Earthly PossessionsThe key is to choose God’s way and hold possessions loosely. Jesus warned that “a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions” (Luke 12:15). Money can be a useful servant but a dangerous master. Property is to be used, enjoyed, shared, and given—but never hoarded. Paul reminds us that “the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil” (1 Timothy 6:10). When wealth becomes our focus, it shackles our hearts, hardens our spirits, and blinds us to what truly matters.We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless...2025-03-0310 minMIDWEEK RISE UPMIDWEEK RISE UPS04: 01 Here I Am Lord feat.

Of course not.Look to Jesus, and you will see the heart of God.

Monday Meditations: ComparisonComparison is a thief. It can steal joy, it can steal self-worth, it can steal purpose. It robs people of peace and contentment. God specifically and sovereignly designed you with unique gifts and specific purpose. No matter what season you’re in, be humble and present and find ways to grow. Remember that you’re constantly evolving–for better or for worse. Don’t let comparison put out the Spirit’s fire that is within you. Astonish a mean world with your acts of selflessness and kindness and proclaim the truth unapologetically. Remember, your DNA is NOT a mistake.

Jesus is the Son of God and the one and only Way. If you believe this and accept Christ as your Savior, and ask for forgiveness for your sins, then you are a new creation. When Jesus hung on the cross, God didn’t just see Jesus–He saw you, He saw me. God wiped our slate clean. He removed our old life and put new life in us. That new life is Christ who lives in us.

He will never forsake you. He will never leave you. His love is unrelenting and immovable. When your joy is challenged, draw near to God. He is the only one who holds all things together.

Monday Meditations: HopeGrowing up I was consistently told that “hope is not a strategy.” This made no sense to me. I thought it was silly to say that it wasn’t because we’re told in 1 Corinthians 13:13 that the three things that will last forever are faith, hope and love. I kept my own “hope strategy” to myself and fought back on the premise I was repeatedly told. Choosing hope will be more difficult at certain times than others. Sometimes the unexpected hits and it throws us off course and challenges our hope. In these trying times, you must remember tha...2024-05-0609 minMIDWEEK RISE UPMIDWEEK RISE UP27. Monday Meditations: RepentanceRepentance is more than just sincere regret or remorse. It’s more than just discontinuing a sin. Though we are extended grace continuously, it’s essential that we check our hearts and make sure that we don’t use it as an opportunity to abuse God’s free and merciful gift. Just because you have the Holy Spirit inside you doesn’t give you permission to sin, ask for forgiveness and then keep committing the same sin over and over again. Stay close to God. Keep that path clear. Stay within the jet stream of His will. View repentance as the gif...2024-04-2911 minMIDWEEK RISE UPMIDWEEK RISE UP26. Monday Meditations: "Why Me?"In case you haven’t realized, we do not live in a world where everyone is wearing rose-colored glasses and basking in pure utopia. We live on a sinful, fallen earth and we know that the devil is the prince of this world. What God created for good, Satan wants to counterfeit and manipulate and use for evil. Don’t blame God for your “Why me?” moments. God may allow a storm to hit your life, just like Job, but He didn’t create it. None of us wants to endure pain and suffering but we are equipped to honor and...2024-04-2211 minMIDWEEK RISE UPMIDWEEK RISE UP25. Monday Meditations: SolitudeSo many of us are afraid to be alone. We equate it with loneliness. We avoid it because silence is where our thoughts can sometimes be the loudest and our minds are where the enemy often tries to battle the hardest. Throughout scripture, we read of God appearing to people in quiet places of solitude, giving leaders visions, or even speaking audibly. If you find yourself alone in the quiet, it’s great to shift your mindset from selfish pursuits and to instead see it as a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a free moment alone wi...2024-04-1511 minMIDWEEK RISE UPMIDWEEK RISE UP24. Monday Meditations: DisagreementEvery choice a person makes either stirs hell up or brings heaven down. There are people who are burden-lifters and people who are burden-givers. Sometimes, a disagreement may not be over a positive versus negative viewpoint, rather, it might be over hard-headedness or hard-heartedness. When handling disagreements and conflict, look toward Jesus and follow the example of His life. Don’t fight fire with fire. You should put on the full armor of God and you should fervently seek His wisdom. Allow God to refine you through conflict and to teach you healthier and holier ways of de...2024-04-0811 minMIDWEEK RISE UPMIDWEEK RISE UP23. Monday Meditations: FightingOur primary mission field begins within our own homes and circles of friends and family. Oftentimes, this area of our lives is where we experience the most conflict. Without even realizing it, we can wrongly take things out on the people we love and feel secure with because we know their love is unconditional and we take it for granted. It's critically important to take a step back in these situations and remember: your spouse, your child, your friend is not the enemy. The enemy is the enemy.

Monday Meditations: BurdenI want to embolden you today to release yourself from your burdens and the burdens of others. Fully relinquish your worries and lay them down at the feet of our loving Father. Once you set them there under His watchful care, don’t bend down to pick them back up. Whatever the case may be, you must resist the urge to handle alone what God wants to shoulder with you. When you leave your burdens at his feet, leave them. Let them go and invite Him in.

Monday Meditations: FastingFasting releases us from the constant distractions surrounding us and the unworthy things vying for our attention. It helps us to be attune to God’s voice and to remember that we need to depend on Him every single moment of every single day. He is the one we must rely on for our spiritual, emotional and physical well-being. No other source can satisfy. John Piper explained it well when he wrote that, at its heart, fasting is “an intensification of prayer.

Monday Meditations: Holy FearIt’s a challenge to define “holy fear” or the act of “fearing God'' in just a simple sentence or even paragraph for that matter. It's so important to remember that the fear of the Lord does not drive us away from God’s presence–it’s the exact opposite. Holy fear is a wonderful, godly fear that lays a firm foundation for us as believers. It involves deep and abiding reverence–profound, adoring respect. Holy fear is a gift of love and even protection, offered to us by a God who cares for us profoundly. Do y...2024-03-1109 minMIDWEEK RISE UPMIDWEEK RISE UP19. Monday Meditations: FixIt’s so easy to get caught up trying to “fix” our circumstances, relationships or friendships instead of fixing our gaze on Jesus–the only one who can, and someday will, truly fix everything in this broken world. Stop rushing into situations in an attempt to “fix” everything. Instead, breathe, be still, and remember what I’ve reminded you of before: there’s a difference between being still and being stagnant. If you’re feeling discouraged or overwhelmed by a storm or valley in your life, remember that you’re a human with a limited capacity. Instead of putting pressure on yourself...2024-03-0407 minMIDWEEK RISE UPMIDWEEK RISE UP18. Monday Meditations: HealingHappy Monday Meditations! Today we’re going to be meditating on healing.

It’s an emotion that fluctuates with circumstance. But as a Christian, joy is so deeply ingrained into our heart. Joy is long lasting and it satisfies the heart in an extremely unique and incredible way. It’s no doubt a characteristic of God’s people who are walking in His presence. Joy is an absolute gift and it’s given to those who trust in Christ. 2023-11-2707 minMIDWEEK RISE UPMIDWEEK RISE UPS3: 04 waterboy vs. quarterbackA few weeks ago I was so blessed and honored to have a tea hosted by TPUSA Faith, called RISE UP where I had 3 phenomenal women alongside me on stage and we dove into the topics of today, faith, and how to be a strong biblical woman in such a messed up culture and quite frankly world that we live in right now.
