Raw & Refined: Learning Love Without a Blueprint

DeNight Owl Speaks | Christian Reflections & Spoken... ·

2026/02/13

This episode was recorded in real time — without a script, without a plan. What began as a simple movie night stirred something deeper: grief, memory, and questions I wasn’t expecting to face. As I reflected on love, loss, and approaching marriage, I realized how much of what we carry into relationships was never modeled for us.I reflect on what it means to prepare for marriage without having been given a blueprint. Through quiet thoughts, personal storytelling, and faith-centered reflection, I

Whispers From God | Saul: The Question He Couldn't...

DeNight Owl Speaks | Christian Reflections & Spoken... ·

2026/01/18

This reflection began with a question I almost missed in Scripture.After David defeats Goliath—after the victory, the celebration, the moment that usually takes center stage—Saul pauses and asks a question that stopped me in my tracks:“Whose son art thou?”I’ve read this story before.I knew the outcome.But I hadn’t noticed this moment.This episode of Whispers from God sits with that question—and what it reveals about recognition, discernment, and the tension between being known for what we do versus

Whispers From God | David: "Whose Son Art Thou?"

DeNight Owl Speaks | Christian Reflections & Spoken... ·

2025/12/22

There are moments when Scripture feels familiar, words we’ve read, stories we know, passages we could almost recite.And then there are moments when those same words meet us differently.Not because the text changed, but because we did.Whispers from God lives in that space.This series was born out of noticing how God often reveals meaning slowly—sometimes long after we first read something,sometimes in seasons where we’re finally quiet enough to hear what we once overlooked.This is not a sermon

Raw & Refined - Introduction

DeNight Owl Speaks | Christian Reflections & Spoken... ·

2025/12/20

Raw & Refined lives in the in-between.Between what we feel before we have language for it and what we come to understand after reflection. Between the honest, unfiltered thoughts and the quieter wisdom that forms when we sit with them.This introduction episode sets the tone for the series—not as a podcast of answers, but as a space for listening. Here, reflection is not rushed. Questions are welcomed. Growth is allowed to take time.This is not about perfection or performance. It’s about noticing

2025/12/10

Thank you for joining me through Season One of Dear Future Husband. This season began with one letter — a letter written from a place of fear, longing, and deep self-reflection.

2025/10/29

Some quotes begin as words on a page.This one became a turning point.When I first wrote these words, I was reflecting on more than romance.I was thinking about every space in my life where I had poured out without being poured into, friendships, family, even the small daily connections that left me quietly drained.For years, I was the one who reached out first. Planned the meetups. Remembered every detail.But somewhere along the way, I realized I was giving from an empty cup.This episode is about
