  • S5 E9: Confession: Fresh U- Finish Strong!
    What a journey we have been on this summer! Everything that we have done, we have learned and we have taken in has been to ensure that we have a FreshStart summer and the best summer ever. But do you know what usually happens when people get close to the finish? They don’t finish or they stop trying and they don’t end up getting the full results they worked so hard when they first began their journey. However, that won’t be our testimony. We began with the end in mind and we are going to be determined to finish strong on the campus of FreshU! We recognize that one end is really the signal to a new beginning so even as we look to complete this leg of the race, we are just being strengthened for our next FreshStart. So, let’s get going and do what we need to do to have the best and strongest finish ever!

  • S5 E8: A Conversation with Sherina Maye Edwards: Success 101- Paving Your Path
    There are so many definitions of success that you can feel defeated before you even begin the journey of trying to climb the ladder of success. However, the true meaning of success is that there really is no one meaning because everyone takes a different path to design the life that is meant for them to live. What you set out to accomplish and what you achieve might look completely different from someone who achieves something similar to you and that's ok! Join us as we have a meaningful conversation with our friend and sister, Sherina Maye Edwards, on what it means to pave your own path to success and why you should never apologize for the journey that is uniquely yours!

  • S5 E7: Conviction: Service 101- Making Life Meaningful
    How are you hanging FreshU? Is the summer draining you or energizing you? We hope you've been making the best of this FreshStart Summer and taking the time to write the story of your life, and have the time of your life! But what gives life meaning? What ensures you leave a lasting impact on those around you and those to come after you? Service. We believe that even as we discover the best version of ourselves, we do so by honoring the part of ourselves that is meant to serve God, serve people and ultimately serve ourselves. Living a life of service does not happen overnight, but like everything else we've learned, it is a journey, but one worth taking. Dive into this conversation with us as we discuss what makes life worth living and why you should always seek to serve!

  • S5 E6: Confession: Self 101- Writing the Story of Your Life
    What’s happening FreshU? We are learning so much this semester as we explore what it takes to change ourselves from the inside out. We are also learning what it takes to challenge ourselves and in those times, we have to do an interior reflection of ourselves and our lives from a view of the past, the present and even the future. What are you carrying from your past that may be weighing you down? What around you is keeping you in a stagnant place? What about the future is causing you not to look forward to what’s ahead? This week is all about you because there can be no FreshStart without first being a FreshU! Let’s go!

  • S5 E5: A Conversation with Talia Leslie: Style 101- Being An Original
    There is so much to discover on the campus of FreshU and the one thing we have all realized is that we are all different! There are no carbon copies because if we truly believe God’s Word, then we understand we have been fearfully and wonderfully made as well as uniquely designed by Him! We all have the potential to be beautiful, to be great and to live our life in purpose! If we are going to challenge ourselves, then we must discover what it means to have our own personal style and personal brand. How does your style define who you are? How is your style an extension of your personality, confidence and self-worth? If you are truly an original, are you exuding that fact with your style or are you hiding it? Let’s dive into the conversation with Talia Leslie, The High Low Fashionista, and discover what it takes to be a brand ambassador for yourself!

  • S5 E4: A Conversation with Eboni Hall: Beauty 101- Peeling Back the Layers
    In a world of images, it may appear that beauty is really only skin deep; but if we are going to forge ahead on this path to truly change who we are and redefine our FreshStart journey, then we must question the definitions the world gives to us. Beauty is so much more than what the world makes us believe and effectual change begins on the inside and resonates on the outside for others to see. Everyone has the potential to be beautiful because everyone was made in the image of a perfect God, but until you believe what God says about you, nothing and no one can change your mind! Come with us as we chat with beauty expert and self-care educator, Eboni Hall, about beauty that lasts and about some great beauty tips that will help you look great and feel amazing! Class is in session and your attendance is required in Beauty 101!

  • S5 E3: Confession: Why Are You Here?
    The campus of FreshU is buzzing with action and we know that sometimes it can be easy to get caught up in the excitement of everything. Instead of fulfilling our exact purpose, we tend to wake up everyday and live a mundane routine because that's what it seems everyone around us is doing. But, stop...take a deep breath and first realize you're still breathing! And if you're still breathing, you still have purpose! No one can fulfill the purpose God has revealed for your life so it is your task in life to answer the all-important question: WHY ARE YOU HERE? We can't move any further on this FreshU journey until we discover this answer. So let's get the conversation started because we do know one thing- you are indeed here; we just need to know why!

  • S5 E2: Conviction: The Greatest Love of All
    As we embark on this journey throughout FreshU, there are some prerequisites that we need to fill first. How can you begin to change yourself, challenge yourself and champion yourself, if you don't first love yourself? Loving yourself comes from believing in who you are and the value you bring to those around you regardless of the circumstances that may be present in your life. Your self-love and your self-worth are intricately tied to what you believe about God and how much He loves you. When we begin to measure ourselves against the truth of why we were created and God's unconditional love for us, we will realize we are more than worth it! That gives us more than enough reasons to uncover a FreshU and a Fresh me!

  • S4 E12: Confession, Conviction, Conversation: Dear Purpose- Volume 4
    I cannot believe the season has come to an end! What an amazing journey it has been to spend this particular season with you. We journeyed through the holidays together as well as my birthday! It’s like we’ve been celebrating the entire time! More importantly, we have been on a journey of growth and it is my sincere prayer that you have taken an active role in your own growth as a person and as a builder in God’s kingdom. Everyday we are given a FreshStart and with that new beginning, we have the power to literally do anything! I want you to walk out of this season believing in who God created you to be and who God desires you to be. We’ve had an amazing Season 4, and while we hate to see it end, we might as well go out BIG! Let’s get the conversation started!
