Day 1 Disciple Podcast
Welcome to the Day 1 Disciple Podcast — a real and relatable space for born-again believers who are learning to walk out a consecrated life one day at a time. Hosted by a millennial woman of faith who knows the struggle of choosing holiness in a culture that glorifies everything but God.
Each episode dives into the raw realities of Christian living — from identity and obedience to spiritual discipline and healing — all rooted in scripture, grace, and growth. Whether you’re on Day 1 or Day 101, you’re not alone. This walk is personal, but we don’t have to do it alone.
Let’s grow in Christ — from the inside out. 🙏🏾🎙️
When Love Costs: Biblical, Actionable Faith in a Distracted World
What does REAL love actually look like?
In today’s world, love has become a word people throw around loosely — but Jesus showed us that Biblical love is rooted in ACTION, sacrifice, forgiveness, patience, and obedience to God.
In this episode of Day One Disciple, we talk about:
Love in action
Loving people through difficult seasons
Forgiveness and emotional healing
Why the church must love better
How stress and suffering can affect the way we love
The example Jesus gave us through His life
Why authentic love is missing in today’s world
This is a raw and honest conversation about faith, relationships, pain, sacrifice, and learning to love like Christ even when life feels heavy.
Scriptures Referenced:
1 John 3:18
Romans 5:8
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Luke 10:25-37
John 13:35
John 15:13
Ephesians 4:32
John 14:15

When Doubt Silences You: Finding Faith in the Midst of Trial
This episode is coming from a real place.
Sometimes life hits all at once—fear, uncertainty, pain—and you’re still expected to keep going. In this conversation, I share what God has been showing me about abundance in the middle of hard seasons.
We walk through Luke 1 and unpack the difference between Zechariah’s doubt and Mary’s surrender—and how our response to God can either silence us or position us for what He’s calling us into.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, forgotten, or alone… this is for you.
You’re not alone. God hasn’t forgotten you. And this season still has purpose.

Steward Your Temple: Faith, Food, and the Black Church
We pray for abundance…but ignore the vessel God gave us to carry it.
Our bodies.
Growing up, I saw what happens when we don’t steward our health well—heart disease, diabetes, burnout… even in the church.
And nobody really talked about it.
But the truth is…
discipline isn’t just spiritual.It’s physical too.
If we’re called to be stewards,that means everything God gave us matters—our minds, our habits, and yes… our bodies.
In this episode of the Abundance Series,I’m breaking down how discipline, health, and obedience are all connected—and why you can’t fully walk in abundance while neglecting yourself.
This one is honest.This one is personal.And this one might challenge you.

The Idol Christians Don’t Realize They’re Worshipping (It’s Not What You Think)
There’s an idol that many Christians struggle with… and most don’t even realize it.
It’s not money.It’s not relationships.It’s not success.
It’s control.
In this episode of Day One Disciple, we’re talking about how our need to control everything can quietly take God’s place in our lives — and what true surrender actually looks like.
If you’ve been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or like you have to figure everything out on your own… this message is for you.
Faith isn’t about having everything figured out.It’s about trusting the One who does.

“When God Lets Everything Fall Apart: The Story of Hosea and Choosing Flesh Over Faith”
Have you ever felt like God allowed everything in your life to fall apart?
In this episode, we dive into the powerful story of Hosea and how it reflects our real lives today. So many times we choose our flesh over God — chasing relationships, validation, money, comfort, and things that were never meant to fulfill us.
But the story of Hosea reveals something deeper about God's character.
Sometimes God removes the very things we idolize not to punish us… but to redirect us back to Him.
When doors close.When relationships end.When the plans we thought would fulfill us fall apart.
It may actually be God protecting us from a path that would have destroyed us.
The story of Hosea reminds us that even when we are unfaithful, God remains faithful.
He redeems.He restores.He calls us back.
If you’ve ever felt like your life was falling apart, this episode may help you understand why God sometimes allows things to be stripped away.

Lack Is Not a Virtue: It’s a Mindset God Wants to Heal

The Cost of Surrender: When Obedience Brings Spiritual Attack | The Suffering Series Pt. 2
When I tell you this season has been a lot… I mean it. I’ve been quiet for a reason — because I’ve been in the thick of it. This episode is me being real about what happens when you finally surrender to God and start walking in your purpose. The spiritual attacks come heavy, and it’s not because you’re doing something wrong… it’s because you’re finally doing something right.
This is part two of The Suffering Series, and it’s all about what it looks like to stay faithful when you’re being attacked for your obedience. I’m still struggling, still learning, and still trusting God through it all — but I refuse to let my pain silence my purpose.
If you’ve been feeling weary, unseen, or under spiritual attack, this episode is for you. You are not alone, and God is still in control — even here, even now.
📖 Scriptures Mentioned:2 Corinthians 12:9 • Ephesians 6:12 • John 15:18–20 • 1 Peter 5:10 • Romans 8:18

Did God really tell you to do that… or did you move on your own and call it faith?
In this episode of the Day One Disciple podcast, we’re confronting a hard truth: too many of us confuse bold faith with impulsive action. Just because you want it to be God doesn’t mean He said it. Let’s talk about how to truly discern His voice and not confuse desire with divine direction.
📖 Scripture of the Episode:Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) —"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
🔥 If you’ve ever said “God led me…” but deep down you were just hoping He’d bless what you already started—this episode will bring clarity and conviction.
