Personal Details

Bio

I recently launched a podcast called The Black Sheep Christian, born out of my personal journey of faith. It's a space where I reflect on what it means to follow Christ, especially as someone who has often felt like an outsider—even within the church. Through honest conversations and personal stories, I explore how I've come to understand God’s love and how to extend that love in a world that can sometimes be harsh, judgmental, and confusing. This podcast is for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t quite fit in, yet still longed for a deeper connection with faith, love, and purpose.

Why Biblical Prophecy Isn't as Scary as You Think

I can shatter the sensationalist vibe that usually surrounds the end times. Instead of the scary stuff you see in movies, I can offer a refreshing twist. The end of the world isn't about chaos—it’s about the culmination of God’s plan that is both enlightening and surprisingly easy to digest. I can help us see that everything is still in God's hands, even when life feels like a complete traffic jam. This conversation will challenge you to look at faith, fear, and living in the light of God's promises from a brand new perspective.

Transforming through Deconstructing

My own journey as a "black sheep Christian": How questioning and deconstructing inherited beliefs, though painful, led to a more loving and compassionate view of God, self, and others.
The role of compassion in faith: How extending compassion to oneself during periods of doubt and uncertainty is crucial for spiritual healing and growth, preventing the journey from becoming one of bitterness or abandonment. Rebuilding faith on a foundation of love: How an authentic, reconstructed faith often prioritizes love, empathy, and justice over rigid dogma or fear. Practical ways listeners can apply love and compassion to their own internal struggles with faith, or to navigate relationships with those whose beliefs differ. My aim would be to offer your listeners a unique perspective on spiritual growth – one that embraces the challenges of doubt as opportunities for deeper love and understanding. We can explore how embracing the "black sheep" identity can actually be a courageous act of love,
