Ever notice how religion tends to reverse what the Bible actually says? Proverbs 17:22 says: “A joyful heart is good medicine.” But biblical dyslexia hears: “Wait until you’re healed… THEN you can be joyful.” That’s like the doctor saying, “Here’s your prescription—start taking it as soon as you’re completely better.” It makes zero sense when you actually think about it that way. Truth: Joy isn’t the reward for getting healed. Joy is the medicine that brings the healing. Right in the middle of the mess, the pain, the broken relationships—take the joy. Let His presence flood your heart NOW… and watch healing come. Stop waiting to rejoice until everything’s fixed. Start rejoicing and watch so it can get fixed. A joyful heart is good medicine—take it today. This is from my new course “The Grace-Filled Life” now available here in Skool for $33. Want in?

We go to the father's table and ask him... a perfect father never turns us away. The veil was torn into two... we have full access to the Father. No questions asked.

🚨 Parents — your kids don’t need a perfect superhero. They need to see you mess up… and fix it. This IG post is pure gold: When you openly handle a small failure, you’re teaching resilience, emotional regulation, and that mistakes = growth. Not lectures. Real-life modeling. Brain science proves it: Kids mirror how we navigate setbacks, not what we preach. We don’t want to be parents who hide their struggles. Who’s showing their kids the real you this week? https://www.instagram.com/p/DROPB6lCU_9/?igsh=MWs2cm16aWJ2Y2lteQ==

I’ve been numbing out for too long. Hiding behind feel-good Christian worship songs, and church routines that made it look like everything was okay when, deep down, I was hurting and bleeding. The truth is, I was searching for validation from other believers. Hoping that doing all the “right” Christian things would somehow make me feel whole. But recently, a song by Eminem that he wrote for his daughter stopped me in my tracks. It reopened a wound I thought had healed and helped me see that so much of my pain comes from the emptiness left by an absent father. I’ve been looking for what only God could give me in people and in church. But I don’t need validation from the church anymore...that shipped has sailed. I’ve already been validated by God ...fully seen, fully known, and fully loved by my Heavenly Father. We can play church all day long, follow every tradition, and say all the right things, but what if church was never meant to be the man-made version we’ve built? What if “doing church” is really about living out love beyond the four walls!!!! Where real people, real pain, and real healing actually happen!!!! This isn’t me losing faith... I'M HAVING AN HONEST REALIZATION. It’s me learning to feel again, to stop pretending I’m okay WHEN I'M NOT!!! I'm not going to hell just because I don't fit the perfect Christian narrative. LETTING God’s love touch the deepest parts of my heart is the only way to true freedom... no religious garbage.

I encountered a belief this week by others that I recognized I had at one time myself. I want to share it here as we make space to learn from Seth, his courses and each other. In case this is coming up against you as well! Let me know your thoughts and if you encountered this thought yourself. :) "I cannot focus on myself, that is selfish... God asked me to lay down my life and give it all for Him and I need to sacrifice myself to do this". I see a lot of potential truth in this statement, but wrapped up in a box of misunderstanding. Let's start with a foundation: 1. The two commandments in our covenant (with Jesus), "love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbor as yourself". These both carry a lot of US, YOU and ME. We need to be able to know what is our heart or soul and how do we love the Lord with all of THAT part of us? It doesn't mean works and doing good, so what is it? It's the inner world that God cares about. Matthew 15:18-19 There's also "loving our neighbor as ourself". There is a reason it doesn't say love our neighbor as OURSELVES. I love this alone as it supports the effort and care that God has for us to be WHOLE within and to be able to shine WITHOUT. ❤️
