"I am not a pastor, I am not a theologian... at this point, I’m just a woman that God wants to give through."In this debut episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the messy, beautiful process of saying "yes" to a divine calling. For a long time, I felt a heavy pull toward this podcast—a pull I tried to run away from because I didn't feel qualified or "ready" to speak.Through dreams, prayers, and a few "Jonah moments," I realized that God wasn't looking for a title; He was looking for a vessel. Today, I'm sharing the heart behind the renewed name of this podcast ("What I Have, I Give") and why I’ve stopped waiting for perfection to start sharing.In this episode, we discuss:The Struggle: Why we often resist the very path God has laid out for us.The Book of Acts & Life Purpose: How studying the early church reveals that our primary purpose is simply to bring people to God using the gifts He has already given us.'Silver and Gold': Peter’s encounter at the gate called, Beautiful, and what it means to offer what you do have rather than focusing on what you lack.An Open Door: Why your lived experiences—the things you have overcome—are the exact tools needed to reach the people you were appointed to serve.I don’t have silver or gold to give you, and I haven't read the Bible from cover to cover yet. But what I have, I give to you.

This episode reflects on the story of Job and the difference between knowing about God and knowing Him personally.Job was upright, disciplined, and faithful, but his suffering revealed a deeper invitation. Beneath the loss was not punishment, but pursuit. God was drawing Job beyond religion and into relationship.We explore the uncomfortable truth that sometimes God allows stripping of comfort, security, identity, or dependence — not to harm us, but to protect us. In the book of Job, the world is described as deeply broken and hostile. So, what feels like loss may actually be mercy: God removing what would ultimately destroy us so that we learn to rest in Him alone.This episode is a conversation about surrender, dependence, and the kind of intimacy with God that can only be formed when everything else falls away.What remains when the world is taken from you?Sometimes, the answer is the relationship God wanted all along.

The meaning of the word “double -mindedness” means to have varying or opposing views at different times. This is a Biblical term. Why is it relevant to loyalty? Because the Bible says that’s to be double-minded is to be divided between the things of God or the world. This episode discusses instances in which we find ourselves so easily torn between what we know and what we wish we didn’t.
