InTenD - the 10 mins stop off with Dee

This is our final Pass The Mic session for the Buried series. My brother Deron and I sat down one last time to unpack some of the questions, reflections, and moments that surfaced while recording the final podcast episode "Breaking Through the Surface".

In true Pass The Mic fashion, there were plenty of nuggets, honest conversations, and a few good laughs along the way. Because even in buried seasons—when life feels hidden, heavy, or uncertain—we can still testify that God is good. Even in the valley, He shelters us, protects us, and grows us in places we didn’t expect.

Thank you for journeying through this season with us. We pray these conversations planted something meaningful in your spirit. Stay with us for what’s next—and until then, remember: stay planted.

In this final episode of the Buried series, we explore what it means to finally emerge from a hidden season. After months of growth beneath the surface, the breakthrough moment can feel exciting — but it also requires humility, patience, and continued trust in God.

This episode reminds us that being buried was never the end of the story. It was preparation.

If God planted you, growth is inevitable.

This season finale reflects on the lessons learned in the dark, the importance of strong roots, and the faith required to step into whatever God has prepared next.

Because sometimes the greatest transformations happen where no one can see them.

And when the time is right… you will break through the surface.

What happens when life leaves you feeling overlooked, forgotten, or behind?

In this episode of the Buried season, we explore the pain of abandonment—missed opportunities, delayed dreams, rejection, and feeling left behind—and how God can still bring growth from those places.

Through reflections on Genesis 50:20, Ezekiel’s Valley of Dry Bones, and personal experiences with disappointment and healing, this conversation reframes abandonment as a place where purpose, healing, and transformation can still grow.

Because sometimes, the very place you felt left… becomes the place you finally begin to flourish.

What if your delay isn’t denial—but preparation?

In this episode of the Buried season, we explore the truth that hidden seasons are often the birthplace of purpose. Through the story of Joseph, with references to the lives of David, Jesus, Daniel and Esther, we unpack how God uses process before position—and how even failure, delay, and uncertainty can become part of your calling.

If you’ve ever questioned why your journey feels harder, longer, or more hidden than expected, this episode is a reminder that God wastes nothing.

You are not buried to disappear—you are buried with purpose.

In this episode of the Buried season, we explore the hidden weight we carry—grief, control, past hurt, and unmet expectations—and how they impact our growth.

Being buried is already a heavy process, but holding onto what God is asking us to release can make the season even harder. This episode dives into the power of surrender, the freedom found in letting go, and the truth that not everything can be carried into the next chapter.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down, this conversation will help you reflect on what needs to be released so you can grow with greater ease and clarity.

Key themes: surrender, healing, identity, control, spiritual growth, and release.

We often see “the dirt” as something negative—messy, uncomfortable, and unwanted.

But what if the very place you’re trying to escape… is the place that’s growing you?

In this episode of InTenD, we explore how hardship, delay, and buried seasons can become powerful teachers. Through reflections on faith, personal experience, and stories like Ruth and David, this conversation reframes the dirt as a place of development—not defeat.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overlooked, or uncertain about your season, this episode will help you find meaning in it—and remind you that nothing you’re going through is wasted.

Because sometimes…

the dirt is exactly where you learn what matters most.

Growth doesn’t always look like progress.

In this episode of InTenD, we explore the quiet, often overlooked kind of growth that happens beneath the surface—during seasons of waiting, stillness, and uncertainty.

Drawing from personal reflection, powerful lessons from How to Change and Emotional Intelligence, and the concept of “buried seasons,” this episode reminds us that internal transformation is still real growth—even when there are no visible results yet.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, hidden, or unsure if anything is changing… this conversation will ground you in truth and give you hope.

Because even here—

you are still growing.

In this episode of the Buried series, we reflect on the quiet seasons of life — the moments when prayers seem unanswered and God feels silent.

Through the Parable of the Sower and stories from scripture, we explore what it means to trust God while waiting. From Sarah and Abraham to Hannah and Rachel, the Bible reminds us that some promises require patience, faith, and courage.

Because seeds don’t grow in noise.

They grow in soil.

And sometimes the silence is not absence — it’s preparation.

If you are in a waiting season, this episode is a reminder that God is still working beneath the surface.

This is another Pass The Mic session connected to the Buried series — a candid sit-down conversation where I’m again joined by my brother Deron at Infinity Studios.In this episode, we go deeper than the original podcast episode Roots Before Fruit, and unpack what it really means to build from the inside out. Because what’s inside of you will always show up on the outside.We talk about:Why foundation matters more than visibilityThe danger of chasing fruit without developing rootsPrivate growth vs public successStaying grounded in a world that rewards appearancesThis is a real, unfiltered conversation — no scripts, just truth.

In this episode of Buried, we reflect on the importance of spiritual foundations and why God often develops roots in us before allowing fruit to appear. Drawing from scripture, personal reflection, and everyday observations, this conversation explores patience, discipline, and trusting God’s intentions even when His plans are unclear.

If you’re in a season of waiting or quiet development, this episode is a reminder that deep roots produce lasting fruit.
