The Gospel Isn't Colorblind
...and it's a good thing it isn't.Because in seeing all the parts of us and all that colors our lives and stories, Jesus still chose relationship with us. That, my friends, is GOOD news.Welcome to another episode of naked and unashamed where this week, we talk and process through a topic that I've been passionate about for a few years now: what it looks like to see one another accurately and meet one another with Christlike love. This episode was absolutely recorded at nearly midnight, so forgive me for all my filler words...

Grieving People Who Are Still Alive
Happy Monday and welcome back to another episode of naked and unashamed!After two weeks, we're back at it with a new solo episode where we're talking all about the grief that comes with the end of a friendship as you once knew it. We often associate grief with death, but there's a grief and pain that also comes with loss. In this episode, we sit in my living room for a candid conversation with friendships as I've experienced them, the areas in which God is growing me, and how we can be encouraged by the relationship...

To Be Truly Naked and Unashamed with Marquise and Krystal Cox
Welcome to a new week and a new episode of naked and unashamed! Listen, I've been wanting to get this episode into your hands and ears since we recorded it. On the podcast today we have two people who I respect, admire, and love so incredibly dearly: Marquise and Krystal Cox. This powerhouse couple sat with me and we talked about EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING. I contemplated splitting this into two parts, but it was just too good not to share the entire episode all at once. From dying to self, to relinquishing control...

Body Insecurity & Navigating When Your Body Changes with London Taylor
WELCOME TO SEASON FOUR, EPISODE ONE!I am so excited to be back I can't even contain it, y'all. We're kicking this season off with London and I talking about a topic we've talked about a lot lately: our bodies. And while, yes, our physical bodies are decaying and we know that it's what on the inside that counts, we're still human beings who deal with insecurity about what's on the outside.Today we talk a lot about where our perspective of self was shaped, how we're navigating our current changes, and how what we...

THE WAY THIS HAS BEEN SITTING ON MY WHOLE LAPTOP! Y'all. It has been a time and ya girl has been procrastinating on putting this out. But here we are! We made it! Thank you Lord! A few weeks back, I asked on Instagram for some Q & A questions for London and I to talk through as we close the season. We received more questions than we expected and decided to close out the season with a two part episode from us. This episode's focus is on Fashion, Culture, and Relationship/Marriage conversations.

Choosing Joy and Celebration In Every Circumstance
We talk a LOT about choosing joy, but we often don't talk about how messy the process is. How difficult that choice can be when our circumstances are difficult and complicated and complex. At times, we talk about choosing joy the same way we say, "Just don't be sad!"I think it's perfectly fine to acknowledge the messiness of choosing joy while also talking about how PIVOTAL it is that we fully depend on God in making that choice. Choosing joy isn't being dangerously (and blindly) optimistic; choosing joy is the acknowledgement...

Leveraging Your Story For God's Glory
HAPPY MONDAY FRIENDS!We're back with another Monday episode that honestly, almost didn't make its way out into the world. This episode felt a little chaotic to me, and maybe it's because of how hectic today's been, but I'm choosing to post anyways!Today's episode is all about choosing to share the hard circumstances and the unglamorous parts of our stories for people to experience God. We often question why we've experienced certain circumstances, why we were born into certain things, or why we had to deal with a specific heartbreak. But what if it...

When God's Plans Seem Foggy, Distant, and Confusing
"How do I know God's plan for my life?""What's my purpose?""I get that God has plans and all, but I just can't see it right now..."If you're anything like me, you've spent quite a bit of time wondering, questioning, and trying to decipher what exactly you've been put on this earth to do. None of us want to live "small" lives -- lives where we settle for less than what God has for us. At the same time, when you have big dreams, big goals, and huge hopes, yet reality...

Sexual Temptation Is No Joke (an honest talk)
Sex. Pornography. Lust. Masturbation. What do those all have in common?These are things the enemy uses to take us out, shut us up, lock us in shame, convince us that God doesn't want the best for us, and have us out here just STRUGGLING, you hear me?! And the more we stay silent about these very real temptations and the desires underneath them, the more the enemy's lies continue to run our lives. So let's have an open, honest conversation about sexual temptations.-------I'm definitely congested this episode, but I pray...

You're just not confident right now, and listen, we ALL have those moments!!! But don't let those moments become days, weeks, years, and a life of living SMALL! So how do we take up space?

When Your Faith In God Is Tested
Can we be honest for a second? Following Jesus isn't easy. It was never promised to be, but when you wake up at 4 AM feeling the weight of your circumstances, you reaalllllllllyyyyyyy feel how weighty it is to follow Him. But my goodness, is it worth it. He is so, so worth it. In this episode, we get to pull the curtains back a bit and I get really honest with where I'm at in life right now. And do a fair bit of crying in the mix too lol.

Welcome to another episode of naked and unashamed -- this week, I'm sitting and reflecting on the cost of following Jesus. I've been feeling like lately, the cost I've paid isn't "risky" enough. The cost stretches me, but doesn't bring me to the point of deep discomfort, pushing me to dependence. And it's a REAL issue! Perhaps you're in the same place too.

In Due Time: How God Exceeded My Expectations For Love and Marriage
HAPPY NOVEMBER! We're kicking off this month with a more vulnerable episode. November 8th marks one year since I got engaged and it's insane how much life has happened in just a year! God has truly been so incredibly faithful and kind -- and that's a major understatement. But if I'm being honest, the past few years of dating, engagement, and even marriage still come as a shock sometimes. I honestly never thought that I'd be married. Not because I didn't desire marriage, but because I just never imagined someone would desire to marry me. As the...

Guarding Your Heart (And Mind) In Election Season
Who else has been getting more political texts than texts from your own family at this point?! No, but in all seriousness, November 5th is quickly approaching and let me just say: the political climate in America can be disheartening. In so many ways, the American church went about 2020 in a way that prevented people from seeing the beauty of Jesus. So how do we prevent that from happening again? How do we navigate being renewed in Jesus in the midst of a climate that can bring about thoughts, fears, feelings, and division?

A safe space is beyond a place that "feels like home." A safe space is beyond a place that makes you feel comfortable.

A safe space isn’t supposed to make you feel comfortable, but you should be comfortable in sitting in one. A safe space is designed to challenge you by letting go of the mask tha...
