When Christmas Hurts: Grief During the Holidays

Christmas is supposed to be joyful—but what if your heart is breaking this season? In this deeply personal and faith-filled episode, Nina shares her story of losing her mother during the holidays and how grief, faith, anger, and healing collided in her walk with Christ.

This episode is for the woman who loves Jesus but is still hurting… for the one who feels guilty for grieving during the “season of joy”… and for anyone who needs permission to bring their broken heart to God just as it is.


Through Scripture, testimony, and Holy Spirit–led encouragement, you’ll be reminded that:


🦋 You can love Jesus deeply and still grieve deeply


🦋 Sorrow does not separate you from God


🦋 Emmanuel truly means God is with you—even in pain


🦋 Healing begins when we bring our grief to Christ instead of running from Him

If Christmas hurts this year, you are not alone—and you are deeply loved.

Not Everything That Looks Holy Is Holy: Knowing Where God Is and Where He Isn't

Not everything that looks holy is truly holy. In this episode, we’re talking about discernment — real, spiritual discernment — the kind that helps you recognize where God is and where He isn’t.

God didn’t call us to be impressed by appearances; He called us to know His presence, to recognize His voice, and to stay rooted in Truth. Today, I share how the Lord revealed this message to me through dreams, signs, and everyday moments — and why it matters deeply in the times we’re living in.


This is a call back to authentic faith — where your relationship with God is personal, real, and alive.


If you're hungry for truth… if you’re craving clarity in your walk with Jesus… if you want to grow in discernment… this episode is for you.
