In a world of curated feeds, endless options, and constant comparison, it’s easier than ever to hide behind a polished version of ourselves. But real love.. the kind Jesus calls us into — requires something deeper. In this episode, we are talking real!!The fear so many of us carry: the fear of being truly seen. Not the version we show online, not the highlight reel, but our actual, messy, vulnerable selves. We dive into the story in John 21 where Jesus asks Peter three times, “Do you love me?” And each time, Peter says yes — and Jesus responds, “Feed my sheep.” That moment holds weight. Jesus doesn’t just affirm Peter’s love; He gives him a mission. And that mission still applies to us today. When we say we love Jesus, He sends us to love others — and we can’t do that well unless we’re willing to see and be seen.Social media culture can numb us to authentic connection, why we’re tempted to keep chasing the next best thing, and what it looks like to stop performing and start being present. If you’ve ever wrestled with feeling unseen, or scared to show up as your whole self, this conversation is for you.

83) The Voice That Leads You Home
In this episode, we're diving into one of the most comforting truths in Scripture — Jesus as our Good Shepherd. Life has a way of throwing distractions, detours, and disappointments our way, and in the middle of it all, we’re faced with a choice: which voice are we going to follow?The voice of Jesus that leads to peace, purpose, and eternal life — or the empty promises of the world that leave us searching for more? We talk about the temptation to trade the things of God for temporary satisfaction, and how staying close to the Shepherd is the only way to navigate the noise.If you’ve been feeling pulled in different directions or struggling to discern God’s voice in a loud world, this one’s for you.Go to https://betterhelp.com/hopemoquin for 10% off your first month of therapy with BetterHelp and get matched with a therapist who will listen and help #sponsoredBook a call - https://stan.store/hopemoquinINSTAGRAM- www.instagram.com/hopemoquinTIKTOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@hopemoquin

82) You Don’t Need a Microphone to Make an Impact
You don’t need a stage or a platform to be in ministry. The moment you said yes to Jesus, your life became the ministry. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to live out your faith in the in-between moments. Th corporate job, the errands, the hard conversations, the Monday mornings, the quiet seasons. I share the story from Matthew where Jesus says, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men,” and how that invitation isn’t just for pastors or leaders — it’s for you.This one is for the person who wonders if where they are right now is enough… the person who loves God but sometimes questions if they're doing “enough” for Him. You don’t have to wait to be more qualified, more confident, or more put together. If you’re following Jesus, He’s already using you. And it’s not about being seen, it’s about being faithful.Your everyday, ordinary life holds eternal purpose. Let’s talk about it.Go to https://betterhelp.com/hopemoquin for 10% off your first month of therapy with BetterHelp and get matched with a therapist who will listen and help #sponsoredBook a call - https://stan.store/hopemoquinINSTAGRAM- www.instagram.com/hopemoquinTIKTOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@hopemoquin

81) It’s Not Wasted: Staying Faithful in the Meantime
In today’s episode, we’re diving into the truth tucked inside 2 Thessalonians. How God is always faithful, how we are called to stay diligent, and how the work we’re doing (even the unseen, quiet, thankless work) is never wasted. It can be so easy to grow weary when we don’t see results right away, when it feels like nothing is shifting. But Scripture reminds us that we will reap a harvest if we don’t give up.What if the season you’re in right now isn’t random? What if it’s refining you, strengthening your faith, and aligning you for where God is taking you next? This episode is for the girl who’s been wondering if her obedience, her showing up, her staying faithful..... really matters. It does. He sees you. And He’s using it. Keep going, because He’s not done with your story.Go to https://betterhelp.com/hopemoquin for 10% off your first month of therapy with BetterHelp and get matched with a therapist who will listen and help #sponsoredBook a call - https://stan.store/hopemoquinINSTAGRAM- www.instagram.com/hopemoquinTIKTOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@hopemoquin

80) How to Fix Your Eyes Back on What Truly Matters
Open. Your. Eyes. Lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God... sound familiar at all? In today’s episode, we’re talking about something we all struggle with but don’t always realize: when our hearts and perspectives quietly drift out of alignment. We unpack what Paul writes in 2 Timothy about the last days, when people will become lovers of pleasure, obsessed with themselves, and distracted by everything the world offers and how easy it is for us to slip into that same pattern without noticing.Fully surrendering to Jesus, that’s where the real “success” is. That’s where peace, purpose, and perspective are found. This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or just a little lost — it’s a reminder that no amount of achievement, hustle, or chasing will ever satisfy the way surrender at Jesus’ feet does. Maybe today is your day to pause, realign, and fix your eyes back on Him, even in a world that constantly pulls us away.Go to https://betterhelp.com/hopemoquin for 10% off your first month of therapy with BetterHelp and get matched with a therapist who will listen and help #sponsoredBook a call - https://stan.store/hopemoquinINSTAGRAM- www.instagram.com/hopemoquinTIKTOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@hopemoquin
