homegirls... this week i am hurt.
why no political figure or party should be placed above Jesushow idolatry can creep in when we let politics consume us why unity in the body of Christ matters more than winning an argument how to navigate political differences with understanding and love
this episode dives into a topic that’s been weighing on my heart and i feel like it would be wrong to ignore: politics. particularly american politics.
the recent election has stirred strong opinions - fine. it's opened people's eyes to their opinions - fine. but what it's also done is that it's caused anger and divide within not just the world but the body of Christ.
it’s easy to let political preferences create division where there should be unity. but here's the truth – the divide we see isn't biblical.
what i talk about:as believers, we need to lead with love, compassion, and the reminder that our faith binds us more than any political stance.
let’s learn to listen, understand, and keep our eyes on the One who is above it all. i pray this episode helps you reflect, reset, and put unity in the body of Christ first 💕Support the show

so many of us want christian friends, but when we look around, we’re either alone or surrounded by friends who aren't following God.
this episode dives into the real reasons behind that, from where we’re spending our time to how open we are to finding and keeping those god-centered friendships.what i talk about:
the importance of community in faith and why christian friendships matterhow building christian friendships goes beyond just attending churchthe impact of being around people who challenge and sharpen us spirituallypersonal experiences of finding friends who are different from me but who help me grow closer to Jesustrue friendships aren’t about perfection but are built on the promises of God and a true reflection of His desire for us to be in community. i pray this convicts you and gives you a good perspective on moving forward 💕

hey homegirls! in this episode, i’m getting real about something i see a lot in our culture – how easy it is to use God as a way to elevate ourselves, rather than truly seeking Him for who He is.
it’s everywhere, and honestly, i get it.
deep down, a lot of us crave recognition, approval, or success, and a lot of the time we bring these desires right into our faith to the point where it's not even about our faith.here’s what i talk on:
the ways christian culture can promote a surface-level, self-glorifying faith that misses the pointhow social media is accustoming us to blend worldly desires with our faith, sometimes more than we realiserealigning with God’s purpose over our own, seeing worship and growth as ways to know Him deeply, not just ways to succeedthis episode is for anyone who may be treating faith like a self-glorifying booster rather than a humble refining experience with the Most High. i pray it helps you to take a step back, reassess, and grow closer to God’s true purpose for you 💕

hey homegirls, this episode is a REAL one.
i’m getting honest about something that’s been on my heart lately – how discipline, when not rooted in God, can slip into self-righteousness.
i delve into my personal journey of rediscovering my purpose, especially in content creation, and the challenges i’ve faced trying to balance my discipline with my faith.
here’s what i talk on:
the struggle of relying on my own strength vs. God’show fear and pride can sneak into our efforts, even when we think we’re doing the right thingthe tension between being stressed out like martha and surrendering like maryi also talk about how the Holy Spirit has been working on my heart, reminding me that success in God’s eyes isn’t about numbers or output but about obedience and trust.
if you’ve ever felt frustrated when things don’t seem to align – even when you're working hard – you’ll definitely relate to this one and gain some perspective 💕
Matthew 6:33Hebrews 11:61 Chronicles 16:11Jeremiah 29:11Matthew 7:7-8
here are the scriptures i mentioned in the episode...
scriptures on seeking God:scriptures on purpose
Romans 8:28Psalm 138:8Pslam 57:2Ephesians 2:10

Hey homegirls, I'm baaaack.
I wanna first off apologise for not posting this last week - I got back from Portugal early hours of Saturday morning and I was EXHAUSTED. Not to mention, my week was busy in general but I'll fill you in more next week.
So here is the episode I meant to upload last week - we'll be back on track from now 💕But onto the episode...
There's so much talk about finding a man of God - but not a lot of practical discussion. I've learned a lot, made mistakes and thankfully ended up in a loving relationship with my boyfriend, Nas.In this episode, I go into...
Qualities that make a godly man and it’s MORE than just sharing the same faithNavigating the challenges of submission, patience, and communication as a womanWhy it’s important to look for a man who’s committed to spiritual growth and emotional availabilityI also touch on some personal reflections, like what it means to find someone who respects your purity and supports your spiritual walk.
Spoiler: it is NOT easy.This episode is all about breaking down the myths and highlighting the real qualities to look for in a godly partner.
If you’re on the same journey, I hope this helps guide you along the way <3Support the show

girlllllll. this is a top i know none of you wanna talk about but we have to talk about it!
how thinking too heavily of 'self' can impact youidols and why putting yourself as an idol is the worst idea everwhy Jesus' love is better than our love
the world is so heavily consumed with self to the point where it's beginning to literally seep into christian culture. but why? is this God's plan?
and on a surface level, self-love is the very thing you should have as a human. surely that's a completely innocent, good thing that God would want you to have. well... it's more complex than that.
in this episode, i'll be talking about...
it's one of those topics where it sounds hard hitting and overwhelming, but when you truly know God's heart on it, i pray it takes the weight away.
God wants the very best for you, and leaning on yourself to provide yourself the best simply isn't HIS BEST <3Support the show

hey homegirlssssss.
you probably gave this title the side eye and i get it. i struggled with understanding and even agreeing with God’s rules for a HOT MINUTE.
if you’ve ever felt guilty, confused, or frustrated trying to live up to what it means to be a 'good Christian,' you’ll definitely relate.
but God's idea of you following His rules aren't what you think.in this episode, i talk all about...
why you need to acknowledge God's love FIRSTwhat the grace of God really means for youwhy God's rules make sensehow recognising His holiness was what took me to the next leveli pray this gives you an insight into the Father's heart <3

hey homegirls, it’s ya gurlll (if you remember me).
how i’m learning to balance ambition with my faithrealising my job isn’t my real purposeletting go of control and letting God lead
it’s been a while, and life’s been a bit all over the place soooo keeping up with the podcast has been put on the back burner. but i'm back and this episode will explain.
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about my job and the drive i've had for it – especially with goals like saving for a house (gotta love adulting).
the real issue though, is that I realised i’ve been putting my job before EVERYTHING – even God...
and if i'm honest, it’s SO easy to let work take over and turn it into an idol, especially with how society tells you you gotta be earning 6 figures by the time you're 30. (so not realistic btw)
in this episode, i dive into...basically, this is just a brain dump of where i'm at and how God’s challenging me to rethink things.
i pray this episode gets you thinking about the idols you might not even realise you've made in your heart... KNOWING that God is greater.Support the show

some would say church has no use for them - and i was one of them. being raised in church can either make you a lover of church or a hater of it. and maybe hate was a strong word but i definitely had strong feelings about it. even as a christian those feelings didn't immediately go away but in this episode i delve into my feelings and how i challenged myself to get out of my comfort zone and find a church community where i truly feel at home.

controversial title i know. but He does.
is it necessary?does it harm my saving plans?(and the worst one) do i deserve it?
i recently bought a new macbook air... scary. i didn't want to spend that level of money, i was tight fisted, holding on to my money. but then i realised: it's not my money. it's God's.
i'm a frugal person and my first thoughts when spending money on anything are:but if i truly sat and got in my word I would discover one thing: God is a God of abundance and He delights in blessing His WORTHY children.
but i thought i was a sinner not worthy of anything? if you look at yourself in the lens of the enemy, you will see that, but if you look at yourself in the lens of Christ, you'll see the opposite. it's time to reframe your mind and let God show you how valuable you are and how much you deserve things that bring you value.Support the show

busyness: probably one of the hardest things to navigate as an adult... especially as an adult in the 21st century. not only are we busy navigating our day-to-day lives, but we're also being drained by the busyness of dreaming and planning. but what does God think? does He care? how does He want us to manage our time?

“you are what you listen to” is a phrase my mum would drill into me as a child.
did it truly understand what it meant? no.
do i understand it now as i reflect on the things i consumed and how they impacted me, both mentally & spiritually? yes.
but it’s a road that i don’t ever think i’ll get to the end of. we have to convict ourselves constantly about our mental diet and whether it’s glorifying to God.
in this episode, we delve into what things we need to be mindful of, such as TV, social media, influencers, politics, and music, as well as the things i personally have been convicted on.Support the show

every single one of us struggles with words. whether that's:
words of negativitywords of gossipwords of vulgaritywords of insultswe all come out with things that do not reflect God. but the strange thing is, do we take as much note of them as we would our outward sins?
the Bible tells us "the tongue is a world of unrighteousness" with the capability of causing mass destruction. do we ever think about how that destruction is not just outward but inward too?
continuing in the 'guard your heart' series, i delve into how words not only come from the heart but can further poison it and take us away from a relationship with God.Support the show

we've all been there. a guy has swept us off our feet and we're on cloud 9... until we're not. how many times will we let relationships be an idol in our hearts until we realise that what we were searching for was never in a relationship in the first place, but in God?

"above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." a scripture we've all heard, but is it something we prioritise? short answer: no. most people believe that their hearts are good and trustworthy, hence the 'follow your heart' phrase. but in this episode, i explore why our hearts are truly "deceitful above all things" and why it's important to know that. this is the first episode of my new series: guard your heart.

welcome to the first EVER episode of the less of me podcast. here i explain everything. where i've been, why the new podcast, the reason behind the name and what i wish to achieve.
becoming a Christian at 18 was an experience i'd never take back, but Christian or not, being 18 you're automatically stupid.
i made a lot of mistakes in my early Christian days and had an undeveloped, selfish understanding of God where i made everything about me. God was a genie who, although i loved, i didn't love Him enough to surrender my plans to.
this podcast sets the tone of where i am at (well, where i am trying to be) and how i got to this place, whilst giving you scriptural advice on how you can do the same.Support the show
