Episode 159: HOW TO BREAK FREE FROM OVERTHINKING
Overthinking can steal your peace, cloud your judgment, and keep you trapped in cycles of worry and “what ifs.” In this short teaching, I share practical and biblical encouragement to help you quiet the mental noise, take control of your thoughts, trust God, and move forward in peace.
You don't have to believe, analyze, or entertain every thought that enters your mind. You can break free from overthinking!

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” — 3 John 2
What does it look like to care for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—while keeping our spiritual health at the center?
In this episode, we explore The 3 John 2 Lifestyle, a holistic approach to well-being that recognizes that our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual lives are interconnected.

Episode 156: SEVEN POWERFUL PRAYERS TO PRAY FOR UNBELIEVERS
When we pray for those who don’t yet know Christ, what should we actually pray?
In this episode of All Things Faith Walk, I explore 7 powerful, Scripture-based prayers to pray for unbelievers. Rather than simply praying, “Lord, save them,” we can pray intentionally—for God to open their hearts, give them spiritual understanding, deliver them from darkness, reveal Christ to them, surround them with godly influences, and draw them into a saving relationship with Jesus.
If there is someone in your life you’ve been praying for, this teaching will give you specific ways to interce...
Episode 154: Seven Powerful Prayers for Other Believers
What should we actually pray when we pray for other believers? In Colossians 1:3–11, Paul gives us a powerful model that goes far beyond simply asking God to bless someone.
In this episode, I explore 7 specific things to pray for fellow believers: prayers for spiritual wisdom, understanding, a life that pleases God, fruitfulness, growth, strength, endurance, and more. Let Paul’s prayer challenge you to become more intentional and specific when you intercede for others.

Episode 155: How and Why We Should Build Before the Storm
Why do we so often wait for the crisis before we make the changes we already knew we needed to make?
We postpone the prayer until the panic. The discipline until the diagnosis. The difficult conversation until the relationship is fractured. Then the storm comes—and suddenly we discover whether we built anything strong enough to carry the weight.
In this episode of All Things Faith Walk, I sit down with author Garvin Antoine to discuss the powerful message behind his book, Build Before the Storm. We talk about what it me...
Episode 151: Your Identity In Christ
Who are you really? Your identity is not determined by your past, your mistakes, your accomplishments, what others say about you, or even how you sometimes feel about yourself. Your true identity is found in Christ.
In this short teaching, we look at what Scripture says about who you are because you belong to Jesus. You are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), no longer condemned (Romans 8:1), justified by His grace (Romans 3:24), and so much more.
When you understand your identity in Christ, it changes how you see yourself...
