  • When You’re Just Getting By: Trusting God in the Desert (Isaiah 43:19)
    Oct 11 2025

    Season 1 Episode 8-

    When you’re walking through a desert season of life, nothing feels easy — or Instagrammable. In this honest episode of What the Heaven, host Riley opens up about her current wilderness season: struggling with health issues, living off “just enough”, and learning to trust God when the bills are barely getting paid.

    Using Isaiah 43:19 (“See, I am doing a new thing… I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland”), Riley reminds us that even when life feels dry and discouraging, God is still providing — one day, one miracle, one bit of manna at a time.

    💭 Inside this episode:

    • What it really means to be in a desert season

    • How comparison can kill your contentment

    • Why “just enough” is still a form of God’s faithfulness

    • A reminder that your wilderness is preparation, not punishment

    If you’ve been feeling behind, forgotten, or stuck in a spiritual or financial dry spell, this episode will meet you right where you are.

    Listen now for a raw, relatable faith story that reminds you: you can’t compare your desert to someone else’s paradise.

  • Keep Knocking: Be Persistent Until God Says No (Matthew 7:7–8)
    Oct 8 2025

    Season 1 Episode 7-

    If God hasn’t said no, it’s not time to stop knocking. 🙌

    In this bold and faith-fueled episode of What the Heaven, Riley reminds us that Matthew 7:7–8 isn’t a passive verse — it’s a call to relentless faith. Jesus said, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.”

    This episode isn’t about mastering the how of persistence — it’s about remembering why you can’t quit.
    Because if God hasn’t closed the door, He still wants you to knock on it with your whole heart.

    You’ll be reminded to:
    ✨ Keep showing up with passion, even when nothing’s happening yet
    ✨ Stay bold and consistent in what you’re praying for
    ✨ Trust that God’s timing is perfect — even when you can’t see it

    It’s not about striving harder. It’s about staying faithful longer.

    🎧 Listen now and be reignited to keep asking, keep seeking, and keep knocking — until God says no.

  • From Brain Fog to Big Faith: Believing God for What I Can’t See (Hebrews 11)
    Oct 1 2025

    Season 1 Episode 5- Have you ever had brain fog so bad you did something ridiculous? Same. This week I hit a new low with autoimmune symptoms... but in the very same week, I also begin years of prayerful medical treatment. It’s both embarrassing and hopeful, messy and miraculous. You know...like life usually is!

    In this episode of What the Heaven, I dive into Hebrews 11—the faith chapter—and talk about how I’m believing God for a life, health, and finances I literally can’t fathom on my own.

    If you’re in a dark season and struggling to see a good God in the mess, this one’s for you. Faith doesn’t erase the hard stuff, but it gives us something to cling to when the fog is thick. We’re in this together—and God is faithful to carry us through.

    ✨ Listen in for encouragement, laughter, and a reminder that even when you can’t see it yet… faith says God can.
