Welcome to another unscripted ah-ha moment for me during yet another 1.5 to 2 hour drive to work. So why are we here? ...In this specific situation? ...At that particular job? ...In that neighborhood? One thing is for sure: nothing is wasted with God. Give Him your situation and welcome His revelation to you for your season. You may be the only one you know with that revelation, but keep pressing forward in faith and trust God. As this podcast shows: the process isn't often sexy, but it is necessary. You will get thru this if you don't quit. I'm living proof of that friends. God is faithful.

I can only imagine what will happen in my life when I partner my obedience with God's instruction for me. Have you wondered the same about your life? At some point, we have to step out of imagination and do the work to see what we believe come to pass. Note: there are long (contemplative) pauses in this episode...there is nothing wrong with your device.

This podcast is chuck full of my emotional and spiritual battles of the day and God's grace to help me overcome. I'm so grateful that God has equipped us with His Word, presence and love for the battles we face. Don't get boxed in by the lies of the enemy regarding who you are (identity) in Christ. Your reality is that you're set free and delivered, in Jesus' name. May we all walk in our freedom in Jesus...and help others get free along the way. A note about free will: my comments are not to say things do not happen in life Against our will. May we all continue to rely on God's strength to empower us to overcome what tries to overcome us. For those who've had negative things happen in their lives against their will: you are victorious not a victim, in Jesus' name! AMEN! God's got you, friends.

God knows exactly who you are and the greatness you were made to accomplish. No matter the cards you were dealt in life, the reality is, you have exactly the resources, skills, ability, etc. that you need to become the greatest version of yourself. Like they say: it is not how we start but how we finish. *FYI: I record my podcast with my cell phone and got a call from my boss at the end of this recording and didn't want to ignore it but may you be blessed by what I shared still the same.

There's so many things that I don't understand in humanity. What brings me peace is that I know I can trust the heart of God. The One who knows all things knows and loves me...He loves YOU too! May this episode encourage your perspective to see the light in the darkness. Hope in the Lord. Good/God is for YOU and ME!!!

Money money money...it can be a sensitive topic for some of us. How do you feel about tithing? What do you do when someone at a red light asks for money? It can be trivial to know what to do sometimes but the only way to find out is to step out in faith and see what God does when you give and tithe wisely.

Of course I start with tons of randomness but may your heart take comfort in my testimony that God can stir joy in us despite disappointment of our goals and plans not working out at we hoped. He is still God and He is most certainly good. Stay close to Him.

No lie! I'm a little embarrassed by this episode (it's a bit revealing and emotional)...I almost didn't post it. BUT what's more important to me is that I get my breakthrough and so does my audience/fam. In this season of my life I'm moving to a new city, meeting new people, looking for a new job and it's all different than what I'm used to. It's honestly uncomfortable and scary. It's taking a lot of faith and self-reflection and that's what you'll hear in this episode - a lot of emotion. Learning how to hear from God and trusting that you heard Him right can be so scary. But looking back, it's so worth it in order to arrive at a life worth living.

How do you "stay woke" as a Christian? What is your Christian world-view and what are you doing to solve the problems in your area and abroad? There are people all over the world serving people who don't look like them because they are staying "woke" for Jesus by bringing aide to the needs of others.

Speak life. Sometimes it's the best way to face negativity. In this episode I am fighting traffic by putting good conversation into the atmosphere.

The power of life and death are definitely in our tongue. We don't always get to control what happens in our lives but we do get to determine how we manage our perspective and our words/confessions.

Please excuse the few seconds of scrambling on the sound. It'll clear up.
