Summary

This one’s real personal. I just felt like it was time to slow down and let you all l in on what’s really been happening behind the scenes the last 9–10 months. A lot has changed in my life — new city, new church, deep community, and God doing a real work in my heart. But the biggest thing I had to face? There was this lie I didn’t even realize I was believing about God — and it had been shaping the way I saw Him, myself, and my purpose. In this episode, I’m sharing that story. What led me there. How He’s been peeling it all back. And the version of me I feel like He’s been slowly freeing me from. It’s kind of like a reset episode. I talk about where the podcast is going, what’s changing, and where I see God leading next. So if you've been in a season of transition, or you've ever wrestled with identity, ambition, or feeling like you’ve outgrown who you used to be — I think this one’s gonna hit home. Let me know what God’s been teaching you too. I’d love to hear it.

0:34.1	for this episode I really want to give you all a life update of what's been happening
0:40.0	in my world and more importantly, what God's been teaching me through it. As I was thinking
0:46.8	about what has been taking place really the last about nine or ten months of my life to speak
0:53.3	to you about today.
0:56.4	The biggest thing that came up is and all that God's been showing, revealing, and
1:00.4	refining me through is he's uncovered one of the biggest lies that I've believed about him.
1:06.3	That has really disrupted my intimacy and my walk that I didn't even realize.
1:10.5	And so as I go through that
1:12.0	and break it all down, get you all caught up of what's been taking place, that's really what we're
1:18.6	going to get into. And it all makes sense as we come to a head. But one of the biggest reasons I
1:25.8	wanted to really give this life update and go this direction with this particular conversation is because one of the biggest thing that I loved about the last podcast that I had and did with my brother, the just different podcast is we not only taught the word,
1:47.5	but we also showed God through our life in terms of what he was doing, how he was moving,
1:53.5	testimonies, and just real life anecdotes of what we were seeing in real time.
1:57.8	And I feel as if with the Disciples Journal, since the inception of this show,
2:02.7	it's gone through so many iterations. Like you all have seen me in real time build and go in
