'God'Sip & Tea

Sip the Tea and Find the truth

#NarrowWay

  • The Agony, the Scar, and the Sanctuary of the Believer

    ​Sip the Tea and Find the Truth ​Let’s be honest, we’ve all been there. You’re in a moment of true, gut-wrenching agony, the kind that makes your flesh scream, and you cry out to God. Maybe you use foul language. Maybe you lash out in desperation. And then, the fear settles in: Did I just Read more

  • Why the Weeds Are Still Growing

    ​Grab your mug, friend. Let’s sit for a moment with a mystery that touches all our lives: the question of why good and evil coexist in this world. It can be confusing and even painful to witness, but Jesus gave us a gentle answer in the Parable of the Weeds (Matthew 13:24-30). ​The Simple Story, Read more

  • Shedding the Self to Find the Soul

    (A Study in Sanctification) ​If you are walking this path, you know that the space you now occupy is a delicate, vulnerable place. The spiritual obedience that requires you to sever deeply rooted connections and face your own failures is an act of profound courage, not coldness. Know that what you are doing is not 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

  • 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

  • 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
