  • The Oil That Cannot Be Borrowed:

    Why Unseen Work Matters ​In a culture obsessed with immediate visibility and effortless spirituality, the lines between true faith and worldly fanfare are dangerously blurred. We look for quick, visible wins, but genuine discipleship demands a profound, costly commitment, a way of life that operates far from the spotlight and often goes completely unrecognized. This… Read more

  • Tithes: Command, Ritual, or a Heart of Worship?

    ​The question of tithing is one of the biggest debates in the church today. Does God really command us to drop exactly 10% of our paycheck into the offering plate, or is this a ritual created by man built off a single command given to a single man? ​Let’s spill the God’Sip and Tea on… 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

  • 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

  • My Truth:

    ​When “Unwanted” Becomes God’s Chosen ​There are some things in life you just can’t unsee, unfeel, or unlearn. For a long time, I carried the deep, bone-weary weight of being unwanted. Not just disliked, but genuinely, physically, and mentally hated by my own mother. ​The sheer volume of cruelty when I was little was so… 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

  • Impact vs Influence

    ​”Influence” Is Just a Distraction from Our Purpose ​We all know what an influencer is. They’re the people with the big followings, the perfectly curated feeds, and the power to get us to buy that new pair of sneakers or try the latest coffee trend. An influencer’s value is often measured in likes, clicks, and… 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
