  Is it possible to date with purpose, passion, and purity—especially when you're serving in ministry? In this fiery and faith-filled episode, I sit down with pastor Cesar Delgado and Sam Tenney of Revere Church, to unpack the real, raw, and sometimes ridiculous world of dating in the church. From awkward DMs to divine delays, we’re talking about what it means to pursue love while staying rooted in your calling. Topics we dive into: Dating while in ministry—what’s sacred, what’s messy, and what’s misunderstood Why values alignment isn’t just cute—it’s critical Communication, clarity, and calling: the triple threat for intentional relationships Boundaries that protect your heart and your holiness The beauty of waiting, healing, and letting God lead your love story Whether you’re single, searching, or just spiritually curious, this episode will challenge you to rethink how you date, who you date, and why your relationship with God must come first. It’s spicy, it’s soulful, and it’s straight-up necessary. Tune in, take notes, and tag your single besties—because this one’s too good to keep to yourself.

• Ep 191: Healing Heartbreak: Mending a Shattered Life with Bianca Juarez

  Ever ask: “Can heartbreak be holy?”  In this soul-stretching episode, I pull back the curtain on heartbreak💔—not just the romantic kind, but the quiet griefs we carry from shattered dreams, life pivots, and unmet expectations.  This is the raw and spiritually deep transformative journey from pain to purpose.  I want you to know that grief, when expressed rather than suppressed, becomes a sacred doorway to healing, wholeness, and resilience. And yes, there's space for emotional health, mental clarity, and divine comfort too.  Remember friend: healing is a choice... and God is near the brokenhearted. Feeling seen yet? Share this episode with someone whose heartbreak needs holy hope. And if you’re walking through grief right now, lean into community and let the healing begin. You can start by tagging me on socials @biancajuarezofficial. Love you, B RESOURCES/LINKS Takeaways Heartbreak isn’t limited to relationships—it’s the loss of any dream or reality. Suppressing grief delays healing; expression is powerful and necessary. Integrated wholeness includes emotional, psychological, and spiritual health. Pain becomes purposeful when we use it to support others. Community is a catalyst for healing. Healing is not passive—it’s a brave and faith-filled choice. God cares deeply for your pain, and eternity brings perspective to heartbreak. ⋇ Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here https://convoyofhope.org/bianca/  ⋇ Bianca’s new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option. https://amzn.to/3MO74OC  ⋇ The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available. https://www.biancaolthoff.com/gdq  ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors!

• Ep 190: Burnout to Blessing - Finding Your Sabbath Rhythm

  Ever feel like you're on a treadmill that won’t quit—always running, always chasing, never arriving? If you're a first-gen firestarter like me, raised with the “work hard or go hungry” grind etched into your bones, this episode is for you. Today, we’re going there. Into the conversation hustle culture doesn’t want us to have. The one about rest. Not the performative kind, but the radical, biblical kind. The kind that reminds us: God never asked us to earn our worth. He called us to Sabbath. This isn’t about ancient rules—it’s about sacred rhythms. Think putting your feet up after a soul-draining week. That’s kind of essential. We’re talking biblical rest, generational exhaustion, and the truth about our identity being tied to production. Spoiler alert: it’s not. In this episode I cover: Why hustle culture has us twisted on productivity and worth What Sabbath teaches us about trust, provision, and identity The 7-year vineyard principle: how rest restores fruitfulness Why saying “no” to nonstop doing is a bold act of faith My personal story of disconnecting from grind culture and embracing rest Let’s unhook our calendars from chaos. Because real rest isn’t a luxury—it’s a declaration. I trust the One who provides. Let me know how you are making rest an essential part of your life by tagging me @biancajuarezofficial. Love you, B RESOURCES/LINKS Books: A. J. Swoboda - Subversive Sabbath: The Surprising Power of Rest in a Nonstop World   John Mark Comer - The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry: How to stay emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world  Wayne Muller - A Life of Being, Having, and Doing Enough  Takeaways Sabbath is a critical part of my life. Our identity is often tied to our productivity. Rest is essential for emotional and spiritual health. The modern work culture is leading to exhaustion. Sabbath is a commandment that brings blessings. We need to shift from a factory mindset to a field mindset. Overworking leads to decreased efficiency and increased anxiety. Finding rest is a way to honor God and ourselves. Our worth is not defined by our achievements. Sabbath is about loving God and enjoying life. ⋇ Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here https://convoyofhope.org/bianca/  ⋇ Bianca’s new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option. https://amzn.to/3MO74OC  ⋇ The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available. https://www.biancaolthoff.com/gdq  ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors!

• Ep 188: Jasmine Star on Building Strong Leadership Foundations

  How do leadership decisions today shape the future of a church community? My twin sister Jasmine Star is in the house today! She explores the tension between running a church like an organization while honoring its deeper spiritual purpose by diving deep into church leadership.  Jasmine breaks down what works, what doesn’t, and how leadership accountability shapes a thriving community. We’ll explore: The balance between structure and faith in church leadership Why following well is just as important as leading Essential leadership principles: glorifying God, empowering the team, speaking truth, and holding the line Key Takeaways ✨ Accountability and celebration fuel leadership growth ✨ Strategic structural changes will shape the future of the church ✨ Recognizing your zone of genius can redefine your impact Leadership isn’t just about making tough decisions—it’s about building something lasting. Show Jasmine what you are building by tagging @jasminestar and me @biancajuarezofficial. Love you, B RESOURCES/LINKS Guest Jasmine Star https://jasminestar.com/  Takeaways Emotional intelligence is a critical component of leadership. Honesty and transparency are essential in times of crisis. The focus should be on developing individuals, not just growing the church. Effective leadership requires structural support. Understanding the dynamics of leadership is crucial for community growth. Leaders should operate within their zone of genius. Support structures are vital for sustaining church growth. ⋇ Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here https://convoyofhope.org/bianca/  ⋇ Bianca’s new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option. https://amzn.to/3MO74OC  ⋇ The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available. https://www.biancaolthoff.com/gdq  ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors!
