Lilies Among Thorns

Coachella is one of the biggest festivals in the world but what is it really about?

Beyond the music, the fashion, and the lights, there is something people rarely talk about. Why does Coachella feel the way it does and what do people experience after it is over?

In this video we look at Coachella from a different perspective and question what modern festival culture is actually shaping in us.

Is it just entertainment or something deeper? Is it worth it? Or should we invest our money into holy things?

In this video, I’m responding to a recent Girls Gone Bible episode and discussing some of the statements made during the conversation. This is a reaction and breakdown meant to look more closely at what was said and why it has sparked attention.Girls Gone Bible has become a popular Christian podcast, and many viewers engage with their episodes for encouragement, discussion, and perspectives on faith. In this video, I share my thoughts and reflections on parts of the episode and why they matter.This is not about attacking anyone, but about examining ideas, asking questions, and having a thoughtful discussion as viewers who care about truth, faith, and what is being presented publicly.

Bible Verses:
Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day. (John 6:55) 

And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke: and gave to his disciples, and said: Take ye, and eat. This is my body. And taking the chalice, he gave thanks, and gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of this. For this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins. (Matthew 26: 26-28)

In this video, I share a real and honest Catholic life update… this season has been about letting go, friendship breakups, and trusting God even when I don’t fully understand His plan.

If you’re going through a time where everything feels like it’s changing, where God is asking you to move on, or where relationships are shifting this is for you. This is about obedience, faith over feelings, and choosing God even when it’s hard.

I didn’t expect things to unfold this way… but I know God is working, even in the uncertainty.
