Sip the Tea and Find the truth

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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
