Many believers were taught that struggle equals holiness. But that’s not what the Bible says. In this episode of Day One Disciple, we’re breaking the lie that lack is God’s will and unpacking why abundance is part of your inheritance—not something to feel guilty about. God doesn’t glorify struggle. He heals it. If you’ve ever loved God deeply but still felt stuck in survival mode, this episode is for you. ✨ We talk about: Why lack is a mindset God wants to restore The difference between contentment and staying stuck How God renews your mind before He releases provision I also share how I personally use faith + digital income to create freedom for my family—and how I help other believers do the same without compromising their values. 🔗 Ready to build income online with God at the center?

The fire didn’t destroy you — it refined you. In this final part of the Suffering Series, we’re talking about what happens after the pain. When the storm passes. When the tears dry. When God begins to reveal what all the suffering was for.

This episode is about stepping into healing, strength, and purpose — the part of your journey where you realize you’re not the same person you were when the fire began. God didn’t just bring you through it… He transformed you in it.

💬 In this episode we’ll cover:

• How to recognize the purpose behind your pain

• The beauty of God’s refining process

• What restoration really looks like after suffering

• Learning to walk in joy and gratitude again

Are you truly walking with God — or just working for Him? 💭 In this episode, we’re taking a break from the Suffering Series to talk about something every believer has to face at some point: the difference between knowing about God and truly knowing Him.

Because if we’re honest… church activities, ministries, and routines can sometimes make us look “on fire” for God while our hearts quietly drift away. But God doesn’t want your performance — He wants your presence.

Join me as we talk about: ✨ What real intimacy with God looks like ✨ Why “doing” for God isn’t the same as “being” with God ✨ How to reconnect when your relationship feels dry ✨ Simple daily ways to strengthen your walk and hear His voice again

Let’s get back to our first love — not our first routine. 💜

📖 Scriptures Mentioned:

• Luke 10:38–42 (Mary & Martha)

• John 15:4 (Abide in Me)

• Matthew 15:8 (Hearts far from Me)

• Psalm 139:1–4 (God knows you deeply)

• Revelation 2:4–5 (Return to your first love)

When I tell you this season has been a lot… I mean it. I’ve been quiet for a reason — because I’ve been in the thick of it. This episode is me being real about what happens when you finally surrender to God and start walking in your purpose. The spiritual attacks come heavy, and it’s not because you’re doing something wrong… it’s because you’re finally doing something right.

This is part two of The Suffering Series, and it’s all about what it looks like to stay faithful when you’re being attacked for your obedience. I’m still struggling, still learning, and still trusting God through it all — but I refuse to let my pain silence my purpose.

If you’ve been feeling weary, unseen, or under spiritual attack, this episode is for you. You are not alone, and God is still in control — even here, even now.

Are you in a season where God feels silent? Are you praying, fasting, believing—and still waiting? This episode of the Day One Disciple Podcast dives into the pain of delayed answers, unfulfilled prayers, and the suffering that comes from waiting on God’s timing.

Waiting is not punishment—it’s preparation. We’ll explore:

• Why God allows waiting seasons

• What to do when your prayers feel unheard

• How to build faith, strength, and patience in silence

Key Scriptures:

• Isaiah 40:31 – “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength…”

• Lamentations 3:25 – “The Lord is good to those who wait for him…”

• Proverbs 13:12 – “Hope deferred makes the heart sick…”

In this episode of the Day One Disciple podcast, we’re confronting a hard truth: too many of us confuse bold faith with impulsive action. Just because you want it to be God doesn’t mean He said it. Let’s talk about how to truly discern His voice and not confuse desire with divine direction.

📖 Scripture of the Episode: Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) — "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

🔥 If you’ve ever said “God led me…” but deep down you were just hoping He’d bless what you already started—this episode will bring clarity and conviction.
