  • Walking the Path of Grace and Obedience

    ​Hello everyone. I want to continue a conversation we started in “Million Dollars Worth of Game,” where we wrestled with the three wills. If you’ve ever felt lost, confused, or heartbroken trying to find your place in God’s plan, please know you are not alone. That struggle is real. ​Today, we’re talking about the simple… Read more

  • 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

  • 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

  • Prayer: Is God Listening, or Are You Performing?

    We’ve all seen it: the awkward, overly dramatic public prayer that makes you wonder if they’re trying to talk to God or audition for a role. And let’s not even start on the prayer list for ‘more money’ and ‘a bigger house.’ It brings up a genuine question: Is there a theological line between bringing… Read more

  • When Correction Becomes Condemnation

    ​Scripture isn’t a sword for ego; it’s a scalpel for healing (Hebrews 4:12). The way we treat, seek out, and speak to one another is where the danger lies. When we lose compassion in our interactions, our words—spoken or written—risk becoming mere commentary more than genuine correction. ​For those in positions of leadership or influence,… Read more

  • Music:The Soul Touch Weapon

    How I Repurposed a Tool of Destruction into an Instrument of Worship ​Music has always been more than just sound to me. Growing up, the Spanish salsa, 90’s soft rock, and Latin freestyle music that played on repeat weren’t just background noise—they became my cleaning anthems. As a teen, my ear for music was huge;… Read more

  • A Million Dollars’ Worth of Game:

    Finding Your Place in God’s Will ​I’ve been on a journey for a long time—a journey that started with me feeling completely lost. For years, I was a runaway, confused about what God’s will even was. I used to say, “Where there’s a will, there’s a Jessica,” and I was right, but maybe not in… Read more
