In this episode, I'm sharing a personal testimony that stretched me as a private person, but I believe it will help at least one person who needs to know that God is still moving.

This episode is not just about buying a home. It's about what God taught me while He was doing it.

In 2025, my focus was intimacy with God, not outcomes. But while I was focused on His presence, my home life was falling apart, and I had quietly adjusted to chaos. Then, in one moment and with one honest prayer, everything changed.

God began to reveal a pattern: when you prioritize intimacy, He will rearrange your life, disturb your comfort, and move you into promise.

In this episode, I teach through five faith lessons: • Intimacy comes before instruction • God redeems time and restores what feels lost • Comfort can quietly become captivity • Surrender opens the door to direction • Mentorship and obedience can unlock divine acceleration

And yes, I share the timeline: forty-seven days from looking to closing, four offers in five days, and thirty-four days to close in a season that wasn't "supposed" to work in my favor.

God did that!

If you've been feeling behind, questioning if you missed your moment, or sensing that something in your life must change, this episode will help you identify holy discomfort, pray for direction, trust God's timing, and move when He calls you forward.

Scripture Anchor: Joel 2:25 – "And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten…"

Releasing control is not a one-time decision. It is a posture that must be reinforced.

In this Week 2 episode of the Living by Faith series, we slow down and allow Scripture to recalibrate our trust. Using Proverbs 16:9, we explore the difference between planning responsibly and trying to establish outcomes God never assigned us to manage.

This episode is an invitation to examine posture, not progress. To recognize where planning may have turned into pressure and where trust is being challenged by the need for certainty.

If you have obeyed God but still feel restless, anxious, or tempted to revisit decisions, this message will help you return responsibility to where it belongs and find peace in trusting God's order.

🎙️ Listen, reflect, and practice planning with open hands.

Many of us say we trust God, yet still try to manage outcomes, timelines, and results. We pray, then worry. We obey, then overthink. Control often disguises itself as responsibility, but faith requires something more profound: surrender.

In this opening episode of the Living by Faith series, we address one of the most significant barriers to trust: control. This teaching invites you to examine where you may be carrying responsibility God never assigned you and how releasing outcomes restores peace, clarity, and alignment.

Through biblical truth, reflective questions, and a simple faith practice, you'll learn the difference between obedience and outcome management and how trust grows when you let God remain God.

This episode is for anyone who feels tense about decisions, exhausted from trying to make things work, or ready to live by faith instead of fear.

🎙️ Listen, reflect, and practice releasing what was never yours to carry.
