Do you live with a looming question hanging over your life: “Am I in trouble?” Maybe it hits when your pastor says, “Can I talk to you for a minute?” or when a letter shows up in the mailbox, or when a friend goes quiet. In this video, I want to explore how a punishment-based […]
Today I open up about how a punishment-based relationship with God quietly erodes your mental, emotional and relational health. I share from my own journey how the lie of disconnection, fear, and chronic condemnation can create a constant sense of “I’m not safe,” leading to anxiety, hypervigilance, torment, perfectionism, OCD patterns, depression, and deep loneliness. […]
In this Sunday Live, I continue our Philippians Bible study and dive deep into Paul’s call to “rejoice in the Lord.” What does it actually mean to rejoice when life feels anything but joyful? Is joy just a religious clichĂ©, or a real, practical experience we can grow in—especially in the midst of anxiety, depression, […]
In this live broadcast, I stand at the intersection of mental health and biblical insight, sharing from my journey “in the trenches” of my own journey and through experience of helping those who are struggling. From a pastoral lens, I share the common root areas that are often underlying those who struggle with OCD and also those who battle ADHD, and how these […]
In this Sunday Live, I open up about burnout, overwork, chronic health struggles, and why so many of us are secretly exhausted while trying to serve God.

This impacts our spiritual walk and our mental health in many ways. I talk about how this impacts decisions, calling […]
In this broadcast I take you on a journey that brings together biblical insight and mental–emotional health, especially around the struggles many believers face. I share honestly from my own battle with chronic illness (Epstein-Barr), fatigue, and brain fog and how I have been in a learning journey, where I learn to accept where I’m […]
We are back with Sunday live! I take an opportunity to share a great experience we had in Pennsylvania and our experience at the Sight and Sound Theastre in Lancaster, PA. I also share some honest updates about my health journey and current findings in what I am working through. I also return to our […]
Melissa and I jump into your questions mix honest, down-to-earth conversation with some much-needed humor, including the evolving “Church Lady” character and her over-the-top story of growing up under harsh legalism, rebukes, and zero apologies. Through her journey, we expose the kind of religious perfectionism that looks “holy” on the outside but creates deep shame, […]
Today I dive into questions from believers wrestling with OCD, scrupulosity, intrusive thoughts, relationship anxiety, burnout, and condemnation. If you’ve ever felt “just right but never enough,” overwhelmed by perfectionism, or stuck in religious obsessiveness, this is a space where I invite you to slow down, breathe, and discover that God’s heart is not performance-driven, but […]
