Have you ever struggled to make a faith step (even when you know God was speaking to you?) 

On today's podcast, we are talking about the reality of walking by faith with Cierra Cotton. We know the Bible tells us faith pleases God; so wouldn't that mean when we take a faith step, shouldn't He work things out favorably? 

Well, our guest got a Word from God to leave her community to move to a new state. During her transition, she got evicted, had many days where she wasn't sure what she would eat for dinner and she could barely find money to put gas in her car. For many people, it would seem she has missed God. 

This is a candid conversation where two women of faith shared the REALNESS of being obedient yet things did not work out how we thought it would. BUT GOD! He was... He is... He continues to be faithful. 

If you have ever struggled with being obedient and make a faith step; this episode will truly inspire you. If you are struggling to trust that God will provide for you in a season of continuous lack; this episode will truly empower you.  The reality of walking by faith means we might not always enjoy every step of the journey but we will have peace through it and God will surely get the glory from it.

We all have a past and we all have struggles that kept us or possibly still keeping us in bondage.   

On the Diary Of A Jesus Girl podcast, we are dedicated to having those "tough" conversations that we sometimes don't want to have as believers; but in this season we need to understand the power of testimonies can truly impact lives. 

Today's episode features Minister Davon Johnson (an ex-homosexual now man of God). As you listen, Davon's testimony you will believe it is a movie (no lie) - from his dad robbing a bank, growing up with a single parent, being sexually molested and harassed, being bullied and teased throughout high school for acting effeminate, hooked on pornography, dealing with rejection from women, Davon went all in. Now as he's happily married, minister of the Gospel and spoken word artiste, you will be wowed by Davon's transparency as he shares how the transformational power of Jesus Christ delivered and made him free. 

This week's episode is our longest conversation but as usual, it is raw, real and relevant for such a time as this. This is the Confessions of an Ex-Homosexual and you don't want to miss the transformational nuggets our guest shared. 

About Davon 

Davon "Transparent" Johnson is an American spoken word artist, husband, blogger, public speaker, multimedia communications professional, content creator, skilled facilitator, adolescent health educator, mentor, aspiring author, Christian minister, Co-Owner of Integrity By Design, Inc., and president of Transparent For Christ Movement.

No one really wants to face rejection...no we don't! This is why many of us live in fear, stay stuck in mediocrity and never go after our dreams because we are afraid of what others may say or think about us. But REJECTION is real! And it bears so many fruits like unforgiveness, bitterness, promiscuity, perfectionism, self-esteem issues, suicidal thoughts among others. 

Join me on today's episode for another raw, real and relevant conversation with Dr. Lorneka Josephs on how to powerfully and practically overcome rejection.

After growing up without her biological father, losing her mother as a teenager, experiencing a broken engagement and moving to another country with less than $300 in her pocket, Lorneka shares her journey of dealing with rejection from her dad and also from the womb when her mother found out she was pregnant at 17 and didn't want a baby. This 35-year old virgin transparently ministered a life-transforming word on today's podcast.

Whether you are a teenager, man, woman or leader... believe me, this episode is a MUST listen! 

3 Key Nuggets

- Be willing to have a real talk with God about your hurts and disappointments, if you really want to be healed

- Unforgiveness affects your health so you have to deal with it now

- If you don't deal with the rejection now, it will continue to affect your decisions with men, women, friends, children even God.
