  • 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

  • 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

  • Feeling Under Attack?

    When the Enemy Whispers “Quit,” God Says “Continue.” ​Hey God’Sip and Tea fam, ​Can we just be real for a moment? Lately, I’ve been feeling a pressure so intense, it’s like a spiritual weight pressing down on my chest. It’s the kind of pressure that makes you want to throw in the towel, delete all… 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

  • 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

  • Pillars of Salt and Straight Jackets:

    The Danger of Looking Back ​Hey God’Sip Fam, ​Grab your favorite mug, because today we’re diving deep into a topic that’s been heavy on my heart, and I suspect, on the hearts of many of you too. It’s about the past. Not the warm, fuzzy, nostalgic kind of past, but the kind that claws at… Read more

  • A Sip of Truth in a Divided Time: When Grief Crosses the Aisle

    Lately, the news has been hitting a little different. It’s not about who’s right or who’s wrong anymore, but something in my spirit knows—this is bigger than politics. This is about life. About breath. This is about the image of God in every human being. ​When someone’s life is taken, especially in a public and… Read more
