Trusting God with Your Healing
The Unperfected Life Podcast – Blog Recap We all long for healing—whether that’s physical, emotional, or spiritual. Sometimes the pain we carry is visible, like an injury or diagnosis. Other times, it’s hidden—like fear, grief, or shame. No matter what kind of healing we need, the Bible shows us that God sees, cares, and can restore us in ways we never imagined. In This Episode This episode of The UnPerfected Life is about trusting God with our healing. We look at two powerful stories from Scripture: a woman who quietly touched Jesus’ robe in a crowd, and a military commander who reluctantly dipped himself in a muddy river. Their stories…

Trusting God When the Culture Rejects Him
The Unperfected Life Podcast – Blog Recap What to Do When Standing Out Feels Scary—and Right. Let’s be honest. It’s not always easy to follow Jesus in today’s world. We live in a culture that celebrates popularity, instant gratification, and going with the crowd. Speaking up for your faith, living by biblical values, or saying “no” to what everyone else is saying “yes” to? That’s not always met with applause. Sometimes, it’s met with silence, confusion, or even rejection. So how do we stay faithful when the world around us is pulling us in every direction but closer to God? Here’s the good news: You’re not the first person to…

Trusting God Even When Others Don’t
Have you ever felt like the odd one out in your own family, classroom, workplace, or friend group—just because of your faith? Maybe you’re the only one praying over meals, going to church on Sundays, or trying to live by the Bible when no one else seems to care. Maybe they mock you, roll their eyes, or just quietly ignore your convictions. If you’ve ever felt alone in your faith, I want you to know this: You’re not alone. Jesus knows exactly how that feels. Jesus Was Misunderstood—Even by His Own Family We tend to picture Jesus’ life surrounded by people who believed and followed Him. But that wasn’t always…

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
Have you ever watch one of those YouTube videos about a new toy, video game or tech and been disappointed after finally getting it because all those promises didn’t seem to pan out? Or maybe it just wasn’t as good as the person on YouTube made them out to be? No? Okay, how about this. Have you ever promised to do something (like be nice to a brother or sister or even that kid you think is weird) when you never intended to follow through? Did I get you there? Well that my friend is an empty promise. Empty promises are not good things for obvious reasons. They hurt feelings,…

Exodus: Escape Confusion
In the last scripture study, we studied the fight between the Israelites (okay God) and the Pharaoh. We left off with the Pharaoh agreeing to allow the Israelites their “three-day” journey to worship God. I use “quotations” because… well, you’ll find out. If you missed the last study, check it out here. Spoiler Alert! At the end of Chapter 13 in the book of Exodus, we get a bit of a spoiler. In fact, in the version of the Bible that I read (among others), the title of this section of the scripture is titled “Israel’s Wilderness Detour”. You might be thinking… wait, didn’t we start with a detour? Yup!…

Exodus: The Fight
Last week we began our journey through the book of Exodus. We left off with last week with Moses leaving Midian to return to Egypt. If you missed that post, check it out here. Let My People Go Upon returning to Egypt, Moses and his brother Aaron meet with the Israelite leaders and tell them about what God has said. After showing some miraculous signs, the leaders believe that Moses and Aaron are actually telling them the truth. Okay, the Bible does not say that, but it’s implied. Go read it for yourself at the end of chapter 4, starting in verse 29. Moses and Aaron then meet with the…

Exodus: The Detour
I have been studying the story of the Israelites exodus from Egypt and their journey to the promised land for the past few months. God keeps bringing me back to this incredible story. It has action, adventure, murder, and intrigue. Sounds like a great movie, right? This gripping story is our next scripture study. As I study God’s word, I want to share it with you and I want you to share your insights with me! Comment below or send me a message. The Israelites Get Played (Chapter One) I’ll start with a little background. The Israelites didn’t start in Egypt. They were brought there during the time of great…

Loser… or Simply Nothing to Lose?
Being a loser is typically seen as a negative thing, but maybe it shouldn’t. See, losers can have an advantage over winners. What is that you may ask? Simply nothing to lose. Think about it, losers have already lost. Whether it’s a job, a relationship, a grade, a game… you can’t lose something you’ve already lost. And that gives you power. This week we’re looking at a couple “losers” from the bible and how God used them to change their world. Gideon a Loser or a Might Warrior? Gideon had that power. He was a loser. Gideon was the smallest of the weakest tribe of Israel. He lived in the…
