The last Crooked STX Episode is here with two very special guests: my parents.

It has been an honor to serve this community these last 2.5 years. My prayer for you is that you are encouraged by the content of this show and that you may go and share that encouragement with others.

Welcome to the Community of Conversation, where we encourage you in your faith. Whether this is your first or last time listening, may you always be encouraged in your walk with Christ.

A story of being unworthy and how God redeemed me. God can use anyone He so chooses. I hope you find this encouraging!

This is why I started the podcast. I am unworthy. This is the story of why I started this podcast and how blessed I am that the Lord would choose me for such an undertaking.

God can use anyone. It's easy to feel far from God's reach, His love, and His mercy. In this two-part series, I discuss the reasons for why I started this podcast, and how my story is a testimony to the purpose God has for his people: Redemption.

Just as the title says: It takes work. I'm so excited to welcome Ariana Gabriel to the Conversation. We've always shared in-depth discussions surrounding faith and I'm so honored to be able to invite her to share her wisdom with you all.

If you've been struggling with how to get your bearings in your faith, this episode is for you :)

The reality is that while many of us may pray to get closer to God, we can lose sight of the fact that our ability to grow closer to God is right within our grasp. Prayer means nothing without practice. Not in every case, but in this case, prayer without practical steps to get closer to God will make it only wishful thinking. There is a responsibility we carry to seek the Kingdom of Heaven and it is literally that: Seek. If you've been wanting to grow closer to God, this episode is for you!
