Sip the Tea and Find the truth

  • Am I Not Holy Enough?”

    The Lie of the ‘Perfect Christian’ on Social Media ​Lately, I’ve been thinking deeply about the quiet, constant pressure in many faith communities: the unspoken rule that a true Christian’s life should only be shared in a clean, polished, happy highlight reel. We are often led to believe that our faith is only strong if Read more

  • The Hidden Cost of “Help”

    Why My Success Made Them Judge ​Sometimes, the hardest part of surviving struggle isn’t the cold or the hunger; it’s the moral judgment of the people who are supposed to be helping you. ​I know this first-hand. I was homeless until 19. Along that brutal path, I met many people who were tasked with offering Read more

  • Hurt as a Holy Compass

    ​Let’s pull up a chair, friends, and dive into the “God’Sip” for today. ​I’ve been reflecting deeply on the paradox of emotional maturity. You put in the hard work, the kind of soul-deep work that comes from having to build your own foundation, and you finally reach a place of clear emotional intelligence (EQ). You Read more

  • Why I Pour Grace for Those Who Tried to Break Me

    ​There’s a kind of cruel drama some people love to inflict: the moment they realize they’re in the wrong, they quickly flip the script and try to make you the villain. ​I know what that feels like. I’ve been in situations where I spoke a truth that needed to be heard, only to be met Read more

  • The Tea Is That I Don’t Belong

    ​If there’s one thing I’ve learned on this journey with God, it’s that sometimes the deepest feelings we have are also the most universal. So grab your mug, because today’s tea is about something real and raw: the profound feeling that you don’t belong anywhere, to anyone, not even to the people who saved you. Read more

  • What We’d Attempt If Guaranteed to Win:

    What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail. ​The Global Launch of The Blue Bag Facilities ​The daily “God’Sip and Tea” word prompt often challenges us to dream big, but today’s question cuts straight to the heart of what truly matters: What would you attempt if you were guaranteed not to Read more

  • Laminin: Held by the Cross, Known by the Creator

    ​There are moments when the veil between our world and the Divine feels thin, and we are given a breathtaking glimpse of God’s signature written not just in the stars, but within the marrow of our own bones. I recently encountered a profound scientific fact about our very existence that should stop us all in Read more

  • The Cost of Grace: Unboxing the Unqualified

    ​I know what it’s like to be utterly dismissed and unseen. For years, I was just a label—a runaway kid with no identity, living in a void. My suffering was so heavy, so silent, that the only time it became visible was in a hospital bed or behind the locked doors of a psychiatric ward. Read more

  • The Two Artists Who Defined My Life: A Testimony in Song

    Who are your favorite artists? ​ Music has never been background noise to me; it has been the very lifeline of my soul—a relentless, echoing pulse charting the course of my existence. It has been the soundtrack to my deepest pain and the joyful noise of my redemption. Thinking about my favorite artists requires a Read more

  • The True Harvest: Why the Narrow Way Is Worth My Pain

    ​ They call it “the narrow way.” For me, a person who chooses truth over comfort, this isn’t just a choice—it’s a necessary process of shedding every single social mask. ​I know the cost of this path is high. The world constantly demands that I soften, compromise, and ignore the hypocrisy. But for me, inauthenticity Read more
