WOW!! Africa was amazing!!

 If you ever get to go, this is your sign to say, yes. I went with my church (Celebration) to help put on four Radiant conferences. Radiant is a conference we put on every year at our main campus in Georgetown, TX. I highly recommend you attend next May 2-3 or May 3-4. I have attended three Radiant conferences and I can promise you that you won’t leave the same. We have four Celebration campuses in Xai Xai, Africa and we were able to give these ladies the same experience as the ladies in the States, if not better. The kids stole my heart and as you heard, I’ll be sponsoring a little boy whom God allowed me to encounter while meeting another sponsored kid. I can’t put into words what God did in Africa but know my Africa experience was the trip of a lifetime!!

Join me on this episode as I help you honor God in two areas that over half of Americans are struggling to honor Christ. 

In 2020 I read an article posted by CNN and it read these words, "Millennials are one paycheck away from being homeless." I looked at my online bank account and quickly learned the writer of this article stated a fact about me that caused me to pause and think about my finances. I did not realize how close I was to holding a sign at the nearest red light. I was convicted and decided I need to honor God with my finances. Learning about my finances led me to think about how I spend my time and from there I discovered I struggle with the spirit of laziness. I opened my bible to see what God's word has to say. Most, if not all, scriptures about laziness point to poverty. I believe if you evaluate how you spend your time and your finances, your relationship with God with grow deeper and you will live in freedom.
