On this episode of Life in Perspective, I’m joined by my big sis, the incredibly talented Ayana George Jackson—who brings Catherine Jackson to life on Broadway in MJ the Musical. We dive deep into what it truly means to live unrestrained, step into purpose with boldness, and do it afraid.

Ayana shares her journey of embracing the unknown, trusting the promise over the pressure, and how faith has fueled her path to a life unimaginable. This conversation is a reminder that when we lean into our calling, the weight of our purpose will always be greater than the weight of our fears.

✨ Tune in for a powerful conversation about courage, faith, and the freedom to live unrestrained!

This week on Life In Perspective with Brenda Palmer, I’m getting real about how January came for me—hard. From unexpected challenges to moments that tested my strength, this month reminded me of one undeniable truth: my life is not my own, and I am not in control of anything.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, out of control, or just plain exhausted, this conversation is for you. Let’s put life in perspective together.

In this powerful episode of Life in Perspective, Brenda Palmer sits down with special guest Amy Lynette to explore the true essence of The Secret Place—the sacred space where intimacy with God is cultivated. Too often, we get caught up in doing for God rather than simply being with Him. But what if our greatest calling isn’t found in our work, but in our worship?

Amy Lynette shares deep insights on why prioritizing time in God’s presence is the foundation of a fulfilled life. Together, they unpack the difference between serving God out of love versus obligation, and how our relationship with Him should shape everything we do.

If you’re feeling spiritually drained or searching for deeper intimacy with God, this episode is for you. Tune in and be reminded that true fulfillment is not in what we do for God, but in knowing Him deeply.

Discipleship is a key element to our commitment to following Christ. As we are growing as disciples we should be making them. We don't often have context for what that looks like. It is simply as Paul states it in 1 Corinthians 11:1, "follow me as I follow Christ."

This week join Brenda as she sits down with Octavia Miller as they provide an inside look into the journey of discipleship.
