Can you really follow Jesus… alone?

In this episode of Seek J.O.Y., we’re getting into the real talk about community—why it matters, why God commands it, and why "just me and God" isn't biblical.

I share how Scripture shows us that God Himself is communal, and that from the beginning, He designed us to thrive together—not apart. We’ll talk about:

• Why saying "I believe in God but not church" misses the full picture
• How Abraham was called to build a nation, not just a name
• What it means to be the Body of Christ
• The difference between Christ and the Church—and why people are not the same as God
• Why loving your neighbor is a command that requires community

Plus, I get honest about the real pain and beauty that comes with church hurt, accountability, and walking with imperfect people while following a perfect Savior.

If you’ve ever felt like isolating or leaving community behind… this one’s for you.

📖 Scriptures covered:

• Proverbs 18:1

• Genesis 12:2

• 1 Corinthians 12:12–31

• Ephesians 5:27

• Matthew 22:39

• 1 Thessalonians 5:11

I open up about something I’ve been wrestling with deeply—how to forgive someone who didn’t hurt me directly, but hurt someone I love.

It’s one thing to forgive when you’re the one who’s been wounded. But when you’re standing in the gap for someone else's pain, that forgiveness feels even harder—more personal, more protective, more complicated.

We’ll talk about:

☆ Why forgiveness is obedience, even when it’s painful

☆ How I’ve seen God soften my heart

☆ The difference between letting go and excusing the hurt

☆ Prayers to start when forgiveness feels impossible

If you're struggling to forgive—not for yourself, but for someone you love—this is for you. Let's go there. Let’s get honest. Let’s talk about forgiveness when it’s the last thing you want to do, but the very thing God is calling you to do.

📖 “Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, ‘Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?’Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.’” — Matthew 18:21–22

Let’s talk about what missionary work looks like. Not the performative stuff. Not the savior complex. But the kind that actually honors God and the people you're called to serve.

In this episode, I sit down with John McCollum, Executive Director of Asia’s Hope, to talk about:
-His raw, personal journey with Jesus
-How Asia’s Hope is flipping the script on traditional missions
-What it takes to build something lasting, ethical, and Christ-centered

This isn’t your typical feel-good missions convo. It’s honest, challenging, and necessary. If you care about global ministry, justice, or walking in obedience—this one’s for you.

🎧 Hit play. Then let it change how you think about calling, impact, and faith that actually shows up.

📖 "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world" - James 1:27
