  • 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

  • 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

  • When the Body Remembers:

    Understanding Trauma and Grace ​Hey everyone, and welcome back to God’Sip and Tea, where we sip on truth and talk about life’s real moments. Today, I want to tackle something incredibly personal, something that often goes unseen, unheard, and definitely misunderstood: the body’s response to trauma. And yeah, sometimes, it gets laughed at. ​It’s a 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

  • Standing Your Ground, and Knowing When to Run

    ​”Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” (Ephesians 6:10-11) ​This verse is a powerhouse. It’s the rallying cry for every Christian facing a spiritual battle. Paul tells us to suit up and stand Read more

  • A Journey to the Third Altar

    ​Hey everyone, grab your favorite mug. Let’s talk about something real. ​Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the Christian walk, and it’s struck me how often we talk about salvation as the finish line when it’s really just the starting block. It’s like we get a free pass into a race and then stand there, not Read more

  • God’s Love Made Tangible: Lessons from My Spiritual Mother

    You know that feeling when you’re all grown up, but your mom still calls to make sure you ate? That’s love, but it’s also a sign that her job’s not quite done. It’s a bit like our relationship with the church. We often think of the church as just a building, but what if she’s Read more

  • Enduring the Vessel

    Sometimes the simplest truths hit the hardest. We feel them in our bones, in our weary muscles, and in the scars that tell stories we don’t always want to share. A statement I’ve carried with me, one that feels profoundly true, is: ​”Inflictions to the flesh are just that. The flesh was made to be Read more
