Let Us Hear YOUR Personal Rants!

In this episode of I Rant Too… with Xavian D. Lewis, we’re having a real and necessary conversation about something almost everyone quietly struggles with: the addiction to validation. And today is special, because Xavian is joined by his very first guest on the show — his father, Dywon Lewis Sr.

Together, they dive deep into how easy it is to build your identity on likes, comments, applause, and opinions instead of who God says you are. Xavian opens the episode with transparency about a season when his confidence wasn’t rooted in God but in digital approval — and his father brings wisdom, grounding, and spiritual insight that adds weight to every part of this conversation.

This episode breaks down how social media trains us to crave affirmation, why low engagement impacts our self-worth, and how comparison quietly robs us of peace. Then we go deeper — into the spiritual dangers of people-pleasing, applause-based identity, and performing for approval.

Through scripture, honest storytelling, generational wisdom, and reflective questions, Xavian and Dywon guide listeners into a powerful identity reset. You’ll learn how to detach from external validation, rebuild confidence from the inside out, and reconnect with a purpose that isn’t built on public approval.

The episode closes with a cinematic, prophetic “Inspirational Rant” reminding you that your value is not up for public vote — and your destiny is not determined by algorithms or audience reaction.

If you’ve ever struggled with comparison, people-pleasing, or needing affirmation to feel confident, this episode will challenge you, free you, and anchor you in truth.

Let Us Hear YOUR Personal Rants!

You prayed for purpose… but didn’t expect the process.

In this week’s episode of I Rant Too… with Xavian D. Lewis, we’re unpacking the truth most people won’t tell you — answered prayers don’t always come easy; sometimes, they come with pressure.

From Joseph’s betrayal to David’s hiding season and even Jesus’ wilderness experience, Xavian breaks down how God uses discomfort, waiting, and pruning to prepare you for what you’ve been praying for.

This episode is your reminder that purpose without process is premature — and God loves you too much to let you show up unprepared.

💭 You’ll learn:

Why answered prayers often bring discomfort before reward
How to recognize when God is preparing you, not punishing you
What to do when progress feels painfully slow
How to stay faithful in seasons of silence and stretching
🎧 Tune in for a raw, faith-filled conversation that will strengthen your patience, reshape your perspective, and remind you:

“The process isn’t punishment — it’s preparation.”

Let Us Hear YOUR Personal Rants!

Sometimes life hits the hard reset button — and you’re left staring at the blank screen wondering, “God, did I mess this up?”
In this episode, Xavian D. Lewis gets raw and real about what it means to start over — emotionally, spiritually, and mentally — and why a reset isn’t the end, it’s the setup.

From the emotional crash to the quiet rebuild, Xavian walks through how to navigate seasons where everything falls apart and how to recognize that what feels like failure is often divine repositioning.

💭 You’ll learn how to:
 • Acknowledge your emotional crash without shame.
 • Shift from seeing a reset as punishment to preparation.
 • Rebuild your life with gratitude, strategy, and faith.

With transparent storytelling, biblical truth, and motivational fire, this episode reminds you that crumbling isn’t collapse — it’s construction.

🔥 Mic Drop Moment: “You didn’t lose. You learned. And now you’re rising — wiser, stronger, and ready for the version of you that the last season couldn’t handle.”
