Welcome to the first episode of Oasis: "A place of rest along this journey". Sometimes we feel like we don't deserve God's love. We feel like we have to do something better or do something more to earn His love, and when we fail at striving for these things, we feel even more unworthy. We are left feeling like imposters. But what if God wants us to think differently about our identities?! On this Oasis episode I talk about being created in the image of God and how he wants us to take the truths ...

Welcome to The Prodigal Journey where we celebrate Christ's power through our weakness! On this episode I talk to John Price III about his journey in understanding biblical manhood. We also talk about cultural influences on our understanding of biblical manhood, struggles we face as men, and much more. Biblical masculinity is about following the example of Jesus, seeking Him above all else, and loving and serving others. We have been told for too long that being a man is about charisma instead o...

Welcome to The Prodigal Journey where we celebrate Christ's power through our weakness! On this episode I talk about accountability software. It has been a conversation I've had with other men lately and I want to address it. My fear is that too many men are living out of fear instead of the freedom that we were saved for. We don't have to white knuckle our sin. If we love God and we want to seek Him, we can choose to grow in holiness and our love for Him. Main thoughts for this episode: Boundar...

Welcome to The Prodigal Journey where we celebrate Christ's power through our weakness! On this episode, I sit down with my sister and we talk through her journey of hidden abuse. While we recognize there are all different types of abuse, this episode deals more with hidden abuses, such as financial, emotional, spiritual, and mental abuse. These abuses can be much harder to spot if you don't know what to look for. We would encourage you, if you are experiencing abuse of any kind, to seek out hel...

Welcome to The Prodigal Journey where we celebrate Christ's power through our weakness! On this episode, I talk about a toxic conversation that is not only harming men, but is also harmful to women as well. Have you heard the phrase "all men lust"? It seems to still have some popularity today, but it is creating weak men who are not living out the godly energy that they were created for, and it is leaving women feeling frustrated and alone in the fight for freedom from these types of toxic conve...

Welcome to The Prodigal Journey! On this episode, I am reposting an interview from last year that I did with Tim Timmons on a music podcast. He is a Grammy nominated songwriter for the song "Even If", which he co wrote with Bart Millard from MercyMe. I wanted to repost the interview here because Tim allows the Gospel to shine through some of the things he has talks about, and God gets the glory. I have a heart to heart with Tim and get to know a little more about him as a musician, and what driv...

It’s easy for us to get stuck in the cycle of believing that...
