Nothing but a Liar
3w ago00:19:59Tap to summarizeSome lies don’t sound dangerous at first.They sound comforting.They sound familiar.They sound like the voice in your own head.“Drink another whiskey.”“You’ll never change.”“God can’t use someone like you.”“You’re too broken.”In this episode of Jesus & a Cup of Joe, we confront the lies that keep people trapped in addiction, shame, fear, depression, insecurity, anger, and spiritual exhaustion. This is a raw conversation about the voices that almost buried us — and the truth that can finally set us free.The enemy wants you isolated, numb, hopeless, and convinced that your past defines your future. But God never called you by your trauma, your addiction, your failure, or your worst moment.If you’ve ever battled the voice in your head telling you to quit… this episode is for you.Scriptures:• John 8:44• Isaiah 43:2• 2 Corinthians 10:5• Romans 8:37You survived what should’ve destroyed you.The lie only wins when you believe it.

You Don’t Have to Fight God Anymore
Apr 1800:28:31Tap to summarizeSome battles are not loud.They happen in silence—in exhaustion, disappointment, unanswered prayers, and the quiet weight of trying to hold everything together.This episode is for the person who is tired… not just physically, but in their spirit.The one who has been showing up, holding on, and pushing through… while something on the inside feels distant, heavy, or worn down.Maybe you’ve been praying and not seeing change.Maybe you’re carrying things no one else fully understands.Maybe your faith is still there—but it doesn’t feel the way it used to.If that’s you, you’re not alone.In this episode, we talk about the silent fight—the kind that doesn’t look like walking away from God, but feels like distance, confusion, or quiet frustration.And more importantly, we talk about what it means to stop fighting… and start finding peace again.This is not about having all the answers.It’s not about pretending everything is okay.It’s about being real—with yourself, and with God.Because you don’t have to carry this alone.You don’t have to force control over things you were never meant to control.And you don’t have to fight God anymore.There is still peace available to you—even in the middle of what you don’t understand.“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28If you’ve been tired, overwhelmed, or quietly struggling… this episode is for you.
