This is part 2 to my testimony! Check out part 1 if you have not yet. In this episode, I will talk about the steps that I took to get to where I currently am on my walk with God. We'll talk about what it's been like to be in the belly of the whale, to be in a phase of consecration. What it's like to be in a state of total reliance and dependance on God. God has taught me so much in this season, and I am here to share those things with you. He has blessed me in so many ways, he has loved me unconditionally, he has comforted me, and continues to be my rock and my foundation. I hope that this episode encourages you trust in God completely and allow him to move in your life. Give him the chance to pour happiness, love, joy, peace, and comfort into you. He loves you and He wants the chance to show you just how much.

*Disclaimer to any of the guys I call a friend... this is not a shot at y'all, I've learned a lot from some of you, I've been encouraged tremendously by some of you, there is no love lost. To my lady friends... there are levels to every friendship, no love is lost.*

In this episode, we will talk about friends and the company we keep around us. We will talk about what a friend  is, what friendship is, and what it should look like according to the Bible. We will talk about separating and out growing friends without any love being lost. We will address what a bad friendship looks like. I hope that this episode will encourage you to really be mindful of how you throw the word "friend" around and who you give that title to. Some friendships drift apart and that doesn't mean there has to be any beef. Everyone is not a friend, and that is perfectly fine. But there is a friend who sticks closer than anyone ever could, and that is Jesus Christ. This episode is not meant to make anyone feel bad about anything, just check how you treat those you call a friend. Check your true intentions and be honest with yourself and them. Everyone deserves a solid friendship, a pure friendship, a loving friendship.

In this episode, we talk about our value. Often times, we look for our value in the world when we should be looking to Christ. Christ is who helps us to really know who God has intended us to be. He helps us to understand just how valuable and important we are to God. You are God's diamond, and your value can't be discovered if you are trying to find your importance in the world. You just end up burying yourself further into the dirt, allow Christ to save you so that God can pick you out of the dirt and help you to discover your true value.

In this episode we will talk about dealing with perfectionism and the feeling of disappointing or letting God down. Often times we get into these moods where we think we should be at a certain level of our relationship with God. Instead of turning away from God, we can use these moments to get even closer to God. This episode will give you some pointers that will help you to overcome these feelings. We will talk about the grace of God and how that plays a role in overcoming how you feel.

In this episode, we will talk about how music affects your life and your walk with God, it certainly affected mine. You've heard the saying, "garbage in, garbage out..." this applies to what you listen to, and what you watch. Many times, we don't think about how the songs we listen to might lead us to certain behaviors, thoughts, and actions. We will talk about why what you listen to greatly affects the things that come out of your mouth, affects your mind, and affects your soul. I urge you to be mindful of the things you allow into your heart. I'm not here to tell you who or what you should listen to. However, I am here to encourage you to think about your music selection if you are trying to begin or continue on your walk with God. When I began this journey with God, music played the biggest part in my walk with God. Music was one of the ways that I cleaned up my mind, my heart, my soul, and the words that came out of my mouth. I hope this episode motivates you!

In this episode we talk about how Jonah's disobedience forced him into a moment of consecration. This relates to my testimony because, I knew that God had a greater calling on my life. I chose not to obey and I wanted to live life for me. After experiencing so much despair, disappointment, sadness, loneliness from choosing to divert off the path God had for me... I was forced into a place of consecration. This episode will talk about some of the things I had to overcome before I entered the belly of the whale. I hope that this encourages you to take God seriously. When He nudges you to get on the path He has for you, don't be disobedient. Seek Him first, trust Him, and He will direct your path and take you to greater heights that you could never imagine.
