Kingdom Influence Media

One of the most important things we can understand as people of faith is that when we ask God for wisdom, it should not be because of the benefits that might come with it. Too often, people pray for wisdom hoping that it will lead them to wealth, success, influence, or recognition. But the real purpose of wisdom is much deeper than that. Wisdom is meant to guide our hearts, shape our choices, and allow God to use us for His purpose.

When we look at the story of King Solomon in the Bible, we see a powerful example of this truth. Solomon is known as one of the wisest men who ever lived. When God appeared to him and asked what he desired, Solomon did not ask for riches, power, or long life. Instead, he asked for wisdom so that he could lead God’s people with understanding and fairness.
Because Solomon’s request pleased God, God gave him wisdom beyond measure. But that was not all. God also blessed him with wealth, honor, and influence unlike any king before him. Solomon became incredibly prosperous. His kingdom flourished, his reputation spread across nations, and people traveled from far away just to hear the wisdom that God had given him.

Recently during prayer and reflection, something powerful came to my spirit that I felt God made very clear: when you ask Him to remove your enemies, you cannot be surprised when chaos begins to happen around you. Many of us pray for protection, justice, and for the people who mean us harm to be removed from our lives. But sometimes we forget that when God answers those prayers, the process is not always peaceful or comfortable.

God spoke to my heart and reminded me of something important: we are not running with weakness anymore—we are running with horses now. That message immediately reminded me of the scripture in Jeremiah that says if running with men has tired you, how will you run with horses? In other words, the challenges we face are often preparing us for something greater. Trials are not always a sign that something is wrong; sometimes they are proof that God is strengthening us for the path ahead.

When you walk with Christ, life does not suddenly become free of problems. In fact, Jesus made it clear that the opposite can sometimes happen. Following Him means standing in truth, and truth often brings opposition. People who once supported you may begin to turn against you. Situations that once seemed calm can suddenly become chaotic. But that does not mean God has abandoned you. Often it means He is moving things that were never meant to stay in your life.

Too many of us are worried about what other people are doing and wanting people to see us, and really at the end of the day, it's about God being seen, not about us. When we decide to walk with Christ, it's not about who we are, it's about who God is. And that’s something a lot of people miss. A lot of times we're too busy trying to show off and be the one and being the first and not seeing that it's bigger than that. You see it everywhere. People want to be seen. People want recognition.

 People want to make sure everybody knows what they’re doing, where they’re going, and how “holy” they are. But the truth is, when you're really walking with God, the focus isn’t supposed to be on you at all. The focus should be on Him. You go to church for why? Go to church if you just want people to see what you got on and you want to make a scene and you want to act like you're holier than thou, but raise hell all week long. What is the purpose of that?

That’s something we need to really ask ourselves. Because church is not a fashion show. It’s not a stage for people to perform. It’s not a place where you go so people can see you and think you're better than them. And yet a lot of people treat it like that. They walk in looking the part, talking the part, acting the part on Sunday… but the rest of the week their life shows something completely different.

Man, this one hit hard. Marshawn Kneeland, only 24, gone way too soon. Dallas Cowboys defensive end, full of life, full of potential now another reminder that success doesn’t mean peace inside.
Wednesday night, November 5th, he got into police pursuit near Frisco, Texas. Reports say state troopers tried stopping his vehicle, car later found wrecked and empty. Officers searched the area and early Thursday morning, November 6th, found him dead from self-inflicted gunshot wound.

This has been going on for a while, and honestly, it’s tearing me apart inside. We’ve been together for some time, and I’ll admit, I made a mistake we slept together outside of marriage, and she got pregnant. I know from a Christian point of view that it wasn’t the right path, but I’ve accepted my responsibility as a man. I love my son deeply, and I’m doing everything I can to be in his life.
The issue is, she uses my love for my son as control. If I say something she doesn’t like, she flips it and says I’ll never see him again. She even throws around the word “child support” like it’s a punishment as if she’s threatening to drain me financially even though I already provide for my child without being forced to. I don’t understand why doing the right thing as a father has to come with so much emotional abuse.

Let’s get one thing straight: God created this earth. Every piece of land, every ocean, every tree, every cloud in the sky — all of it. The Bible opens with that very truth: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” So if He made it, that means it’s sacred. It’s not ours to ruin, ignore, or pollute just because we think it doesn’t matter. And yet, that’s exactly what’s happening. I’m not here to throw shade (okay, maybe a little 😅), but I get so frustrated when people — especially those in power — act like climate change is some kind of political argument or overblown theory. No. This is about responsibility. If God handed you something beautiful and said, “Take care of it,” wouldn’t you do your best to keep it clean, thriving, and alive? Because that’s literally what He told us to do.

You ever just walk down the street or go inside a store and hear a young mom or dad cursing out their child like they’re arguing with another grown person? I mean, it breaks my heart every single time. 😔 You’ll hear, “Sit your bleep down!” or “What’s wrong with you?” — and this is being yelled at a child who’s barely old enough to tie their shoes. It’s sad because we’ve gotten so desensitized to it. People just keep walking, pretending not to hear it, like this kind of behavior is normal parenting now.

Listen, I’m not even trying to be dramatic, but PSTA really messed up with these new changes in Pinellas County. I don’t even think most people know about them yet. I found out the hard way — literally sitting on the bus wondering why we were going in circles. Normally, I take the 34, and everything’s fine. But this time? I could tell something wasn’t right the minute we hit a stop I’d never seen before. I thought maybe the driver was just detouring, but nope — turns out the entire route’s been changed! Nobody announced anything, no notices on the bus, no flyers, no announcements online (at least not that I saw). Like, how are regular riders supposed to know what’s going on? It’s one thing to make adjustments, but this is a full-on route confusion nightmare. You got people sitting on the bus scratching their heads, missing work, and asking each other, “Wait, is this the same route?” Even the driver seemed a little unsure at first — and that’s when you know it’s bad. The worst part is, these changes aren’t minor. They’re taking people in completely different directions. I overheard one lady say she ended up miles from her usual stop, and another guy was like, “Man, I’m already late, and now I don’t even know where I am.” This is not okay. People rely on the bus system to get to work, school, doctor appointments — real life stuff — and PSTA just flipped everything upside down without proper communication.

I get it, sometimes routes need updates, but why not give people a heads-up first? Post something in the bus, put it on social media, do a little outreach — anything! Instead, we’re finding out while we’re stuck on the bus, wondering if we’ll ever make it to our stop. It’s honestly stressful. I had to take a longer ride, transfer to another bus I didn’t plan for, and ended up getting to work late — even though I left early.

How does that make sense? This whole thing has people frustrated and scared because transportation is a lifeline for so many in this county. You can’t just change routes overnight and expect everyone to magically adjust. It’s already hard enough trying to plan around traffic, delays, and inconsistent schedules — now we gotta deal with confusion on top of it? Come on, PSTA. I actually posted an audio clip in the forum if y’all want to hear exactly what I experienced that day.

I just wanted to share this because I know I’m not the only one feeling this way. If you’ve been affected by these new changes too, comment below. Maybe if enough of us speak up, they’ll fix this or at least explain what’s going on. Because right now, the whole system feels like a maze — and nobody gave us a map.

What bothers me most is that some men don’t even see it as disrespect. They think it’s harmless. “It’s just food,” they say. No, it’s not just food—it’s about what it symbolizes. You’re showing your wife that her comfort doesn’t matter. You’re showing your kids that objectifying women is normal. You’re sending silent messages without even realizing it. And those messages shape how your sons grow up to treat women and how your daughters learn to expect treatment from men.
