I Ghosted You. This is Why. | Created Worthy Update + New Podcast Announcement | Episode 113
Tue Dec 23 2025
Hey friend. It's been quiet here, and today's episode is my honest coming-back moment.
In this deeply personal solo episode, I share why I went silent, what God has been doing behind the scenes, and how a season marked by illness, loss, pruning, rest, and wonder completely reshaped my leadership, my faith, and my family. This is not a story about failure or falling apart. It's a story about protection, healing, obedience, and learning how to listen when God gets loud.
If you've ever disappeared because life overwhelmed you, questioned whether rest was disobedience, or wondered if God was still working while everything felt paused, this episode is for you.
No matter what you've been through or what season you're in right now, YOU are Created Worthy.
The Episode Rundown ✨ Why I went quiet and what led to my unplanned pause
