In this episode, we unpack 2 Timothy 2:22 and what it really means to “flee the desires of youth” and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace. Youth isn’t just about age. It’s about immaturity. It’s about chasing validation, status, control, and things that feel good in the moment but leave us empty in the long run.

This conversation explores spiritual maturity, human connection, repentance as realignment, and why growth requires intention. We talk about the people we surround ourselves with, the desires shaping our decisions, and how pursuing what is eternal changes everything.

If you’ve been feeling the shift from chasing what looks impressive to seeking what actually matters, this one is for you.

She talks about growing up in love and loss, walking through trauma and confusion, and searching for meaning in all the wrong places. She opens up about how faith once felt complicated and unreachable, and how she eventually learned that a relationship with God does not have to be filled with pressure, perfection, or shame. This episode is a real and unfiltered look at a life that wandered, questioned, struggled, and ultimately found its way back to a simple, childlike faith. If you have ever felt lost, unsure, or like you did not fit the perfect Christian mold, this conversation is for you.
