Welcome to Episode 134 of the Warrior Words podcast!

For this week's episode, I had the opportunity to chat with an incredibly creative man, a man who's on a mission to offer hope through LEGO® bricks.

But these are no ordinary bricks. Well, the bricks may be ordinary, but the designs and the builder behind the designs are definitely not.

John was born with a chronic illness, but it wasn't diagnosed until a bit later. He knew he struggled with certain challenges, but instead of allowing them to keep him down, he learned to advocate for himself.

And he found comfort and hope through plastic bricks. With his determination and increasing skill, small buildings grew bigger. Houses became churches.

John found himself developing a stronger prayer life with each brick and with each design.

Join us as John shares a ton of Warrior Words with us!

NOTE: If you listen to this episode, I recommend hopping over to YouTube afterward because John's current church build is in the background of his video.

Welcome to Episode 137 of the Warrior Words podcast!

In this short Bits of Biblical Beauty (BoBB) episode, I talk about the beauty of our God - even when we don't see Him or feel that He is with us. Our God is so glorious that He is close to us when we are brokenhearted. He is there.

Welcome to Episode 136 of the Warrior Words podcast!

Last week would have been my 25th wedding anniversary.

Except, my marriage ended due to domestic violence.

In this last week of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I take a look at some of the things that have occurred over the last 25 years.

I talk about the difficulty abused spouses have when they're not allowed to go no contact until their youngest turns 18. But I also talk about healing and forgiveness - the freedom of not allowing your abuser to live rent-free in your head.

Don't allow them to keep you a victim. That keeps the power on their side of the fence. Take your power back and become the victor!
