Ok, ok...I sound like I'm complaining but I'm just being painfully honest. This podcast encourages listeners to be genuine about how you feel and balance it with your faith in Jesus. I've been through a lot mentally, physically, relationally, financially and spiritually and can relate to others that have as well. I pray you know that discomfort and unsettling doesn't necessarily mean "quit". A lot of times it means, press forward and upward. Whatever you're working towards for God: don't give up. It's always healthy to be honest and humble before God and yourself. Your breakthrough will follow.

If you don't like where you are in life, realize that you have the opportunity to change. You have options. You ALWAYS have a choice -- though it may not be an easy one. Start with your confessions of where you want to be in life (not reciting where you currently are). Pray for a God plan to get where God desires for you to be. Then do it. It's that simple and complex all at the same time because it's not always easy to go a different route than you've always gone...but if you want it bad enough you can be willing to sacrifice comfortable and familiar for your truth in Christ Jesus.

I am LITERALLY driving scared y'all but what's on the other side of fear plus my determination to get all that God has for me enables me to keep moving forward anyway. I think this episode sounds like I'm rambling more than usual because I'm hanging onto the steering wheel by faith. And you know what? God IS SO FAITHFUL!! I'm glad I hung in there and now on the other side of fear I feel good. I'm so grateful to God that I was able to encourage others through my walk of faith. No regrets.

This is a BONUS episode as I didn't plan to record it and I wasn't driving. All my episodes are unscripted so I am not sure what I'll say. Hints why I was struggling to recall Psalm 23:1 which says, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want". May your heart be stirred to walk out a genuine faith walk with Jesus as your Lord and Savior. May you be intentional to come out the closet of religion into a public declaration of the freedom you found in Jesus! God bless you fam!

Can an Oreo get between me and God? If our belly is our god than we have an idol problem. If we know it's wrong and we do it any way -- that's a sin issue. This episode gets really real fam but being honest and humble before God is so healthy. I'm so honored to share my flaws with you so I can grow (by exposing the sin) and help others grow. Let nothing get in the way of our intimacy with God.

With all the to-do's on our list, some of the essential tasks can fall to the wayside. I'm learning to prioritize my health while setting realistic goals and not beating myself up for not being "perfect". May you find a similar freedom if this is an area of need for you -- in Jesus' name, amen.

In this episode, I push through the fear of the unknown in order to appreciate God's plan in connecting me with people in a way I would've never chosen on my own.

Single people, what's up? Are you a single Christian receiving confusing messages about your single season? I encourage you to go to the Word of God and be encouraged by Him for what YOUR season is supposed to look like (matter fact: please do this for Every season of your life). Then live and swim in that season just the way God told you to. Don't be confused, be great!

Perceptions of our relationships are not reliable but to KNOW someone intimately and genuinely is powerful and secure. I invite you into my journey of making it a normal practice of cultivating genuine relationships with others.

" A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." -- Proverbs 18:24, KJV

(...This episode follows the abrupt end of the previous podcast episode when someone called me).

A long title but a short message of encouragement: please don't give up on your dreams. God made you on purpose with a purpose.
