Thanks for tuning in to Candid Mic! In episode 001, I, Mitchell Lavender, your host, will tell you what this podcast is all about. I will share with you a surprising story and a character flaw, that God made evident in my life, and how He revealed an important opportunity for transformation, that I am still undergoing. I will talk to you about how important it is to be genuine in life, for ourselves and for others, and how no matter who we are, we all influence someone. Principles to consider: Transformation Honesty Mercy Influence Authenticity Reflection Questions: Who do you influence in your life? Would you say it is for good, bad, or mediocre? Are you naturally a people pleaser? Does this add or take away stress from your life? Do you have a problem being yourself around others? If not, what helps you live this way? Could you honestly say that there is no deceit in your life?
