Trusting God on the Mountain Tops
The Unperfected Life Podcast – Blog Recap When we talk about trusting God, we usually picture valley moments—those tough seasons when life is heavy and we’re clinging to God just to make it through.

When You Feel Like Giving Up—Don’t Forget This

Maybe it’s the never-ending to-do list, a dream that feels stuck, or a calling that feels too heavy. The enemy loves to convince us that exhaustion means we’ve failed. That if we were stronger, we’d keep going. That if we had more faith, we wouldn’t feel this way. But the truth? Even the strongest believers get tired.Even the most obedient prophets cry out in pain.Even Jesus wept. This week on The Unperfected Life Podcast, I shared the story of Jeremiah—known as the “weeping prophet.” God gave him…

Trusting God When You Feel Spiritually Dry
Some seasons of faith don’t come with big storms or dramatic battles. Instead, they come quietly—with dryness. You go to church, you pray, you try to read your Bible… but it all feels flat. You’re showing up, but the connection feels distant. Spiritual dryness can sneak in slowly, often during long seasons of waiting or disappointment. You might not even notice it at first. But over time, your faith feels more like duty than delight. If you’ve ever found yourself there—or if that’s where you are right now—you’re not alone. In this post, we’re talking about what it means to trust God even when your heart feels dull and your…

Standing On The Rock
Like many families during the summer months, we visited the beach for a family vacation last year. This was a time of relaxation, bonding and just having some fun. As expected, we spent most of our time in the water and building sandcastles in the sand and the rest of our time checking out local spots and catching up. What I did not expect was the incredible lesson that I learned while sticking my feet in the ocean. There I stood with beautiful, cool sand between my toes. My boys were splashing in the water and running from the small waves coming into the shore. Their laughs and happy screams…

Paths of a Vine (John 15:1)
Have you ever made the wrong choice? I don’t mean simply you should have chosen yogurt and not the 4 chocolate doughnuts with sprinkles. I mean, the “you are going the wrong way on a one-way road and there is no way to turn around that you can see,” kind of choice? Maybe it started out as just a decision to do something you thought was the right one and now you’re not so sure. Or maybe you knew that it was crazy but thought you were taking a “step of faith” but now it’s pretty clear, this one was all on you. Do you know what I mean? I…

The Power of Empty Promises
