THE GOD WHO SEARCHES ME

“God, I trust You enough to tell me the truth about me.”

In this episode of Christian Girls in the City, we explore one of David’s most intimate prayers: “Search me.”

God already knows every part of us. The motives beneath our decisions. The fears beneath our reactions. The places where pride, avoidance, control, or insecurity may be hiding beneath language we’ve learned to spiritualize.

So what happens when we stop asking God only to reveal what’s next and give Him permission to reveal what’s within?

This isn’t an invitation into condemnation. It’s an invitation into intimacy.

Because sometimes God gives direction. Sometimes He gives confirmation. And sometimes, God gives us a mirror.

Scripture: Psalm 139:23-24

Christian Girls in the City | The God Who Searches Me

What moves the heart of God?

In this episode of Christian Girls in the City, we’re shifting the focus from asking God to move for us to asking Him to move within us.

Through Scripture, we explore three things that matter deeply to God: faith, humility, and a repentant heart. But the conversation leads to an even deeper question. As we grow closer to God, are we becoming sensitive to the things that matter to Him?

This short episode includes prophetic insight, Scripture from The Passion Translation, and a powerful closing prayer.

Featured Scriptures:
Hebrews 11:6
James 4:6
Psalm 51:17

Maybe today’s prayer isn’t simply, “God, move for me.”

Maybe it’s, “God, move in me.”

What happens when our preferences begin to sound like God’s voice?

In this thought-provoking episode of Christian Girls in the City, LaToya Dèshawn explores the subtle but significant difference between biblical commands and personal convictions. Somewhere along the way, many believers have inherited traditions, cultural expectations, and popular Christian phrases that are often repeated as though they carry the same authority as Scripture.

Together, we’ll examine what it means to be rooted in God’s Word, how to discern His voice in a world full of opinions, and why spiritual maturity requires us to test everything against Scripture.

This episode includes:

• The difference between conviction and command

• How traditions can unintentionally become doctrine

• Why discernment is essential in this generation

• Prophetic insight on returning to God’s voice

• A powerful prayer for wisdom, humility, and biblical discernment

Featured Scriptures (The Passion Translation):

• Romans 14:5-8

• Mark 7:8-9

• Acts 17:11

The goal isn’t to challenge your faith. It’s to strengthen it.

Because God’s Word is our foundation, and His voice will never contradict what He has already spoken.

Have you ever felt like your real life is waiting to begin?

In this episode of Christian Girls in the City, we’re uncovering The Myth of Arrival, the belief that joy, peace, fulfillment, and purpose exist on the other side of a future milestone. Whether it’s marriage, ministry growth, financial success, healing, or the next chapter, many of us have unknowingly postponed our lives while chasing an imagined destination.

Join LaToya Dèshawn as she explores how culture teaches us to find identity in achievement, while the Kingdom calls us to find identity in Christ. Through powerful scripture, prophetic insight, and honest conversation, you’ll discover why arrival can never satisfy what only God was designed to fill.

If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I’ll be happy when…” this episode is for you.

In this episode:

• The danger of destination identity

• Why achievement cannot heal insecurity

• How performance keeps us striving for worth

• What Scripture teaches about being chosen before you achieve

• A prophetic word for women who are tired of proving themselves

• A powerful prayer to break agreement with performance and comparison

Scriptures:

• Philippians 3:8-9 (TPT)

• Ephesians 1:4-5 (TPT)

Remember:

You are not becoming God’s daughter.

You already are.

In this episode of Christian Girls in the City, we dive into the story of Numbers 13 and the power of perspective. Ten spies saw giants and called themselves grasshoppers. Caleb saw the same land and declared, “We can surely conquer it.” The difference wasn’t the land, it was the lens. Your promise isn’t problem-free, but your perspective determines whether you shrink back or step forward as a giant slayer. This episode will challenge you to clean your sight, guard your words, and embrace the plot twist God has already written for your life.

God is raising up a people whose character reflects His Spirit in everyday life—in how we respond to conflict, how we love, how we wait, and how we live in the city. Tune in and be refreshed, pruned, and empowered to bear fruit that remains. 🌿✨
