In this episode, I interviewed Curtis Clark, an author, motivator, and the founder of CWC Publishing, LLC. I hope that you’ve been inspired by each guest as much as I have! I actually get a double dose as I edit and prepare each episode for you to hear! Curtis shared so many practical tips to Pursuing your passion that I was convicted and motivated at the same time (only the Holy Spirit can do that, BTW!)...it was like, “I hear you, Lord! I’m on it!” I know that this conversation will be just what you need to passionately pursue YOUR passion.

You can follow Curtis on Instagram at CClarkforever and purchase his book, I Lift, on Amazon.com.

It's time for us to pursue our passions like someone else’s life depends on it...because it does!

If you could use a loving nudge to get to it OR some inspiring motivation to keep it up, listen to this!

Check it out!

In Live Set Apart! Episode 10, I talked with the inspirational, encouraging, spiritual powerhouse, Khrystal Karlett. She truly blessed me! I enjoyed hearing about her journey to where she is now. God equipped her to lead people to freedom, healthy (and holy) living, and understanding God’s love as she not only went through but grew through various trials and tribulations.   

She imparts her wisdom through her blog, Holy Appetite, its Instagram page, and her YouTube channel. I could’ve talked to her all night, but alas, this is only a 30 minute show.   

Enjoy!

So, living set apart is a whole thing. In this episode, I explain where the phrase originated, what it means for our Christian lifestyle, and how the knowledge and experiences shared by my first set of guests serves as a blueprint to help us live it out. It's not always easy but as we connect, live free, push, and shine, we will transition from merely living to living set apart!

I reference my former guests, Dr. Nina Bronner, BJ Word, Korey Maryland, and Ursula McClary. Check out their interviews on this platform.

In this episode of Live Set Apart!, I UNPACK my interview with Musician and Business Leader, Korey Maryland, highlighting THREE keys to help YOU be bold, keep pushing forward and do what you were created to do!

In Live Set Apart! Episode 05, I interviewed Korey Maryland, an accomplished musician and businessman and recent MBA. 

Korey and I had the privilege of serving together at my home church, Word of Faith Family Worship Cathedral in Austell, GA, and he stood out! He never had a negative word to say, he was always encouraging, and he was always positive. He has just been a light and a constant source of encouragement. In this interview he shares some highlights of his journey and what keeps him pushing others to be all that they can be.

You’ll notice a recurring theme that confirms that the road to discovering and fulfilling your purpose starts with connecting to the One who created you to fulfill that purpose. This episode builds upon the previous ones in a divinely orchestrated way. 

In Episode 04, I UNPACK my interview with Spoken Word Artist and Counselor, BJ Word, highlighting THREE keys to help YOU show people God by being your authentic self and live in the freedom God has promised!

In Live Set Apart! Episode 03, I talked with BJ Word, a phenomenal spoken word artist and a real, wise, and relatable counselor. She shared how authentically being who God created us to be frees us and the story of her journey from not being comfortable with the way God made her to boldly, confidently, and freely being EVERYTHING that He created her to be.

I wanted BJ as a guest because I have always admired her confidence. She struck me as someone who was FREE to be her true self and I was there for it! We talk about how she is now that person on the inside that I saw on the inside. She’s a counselor, so you know she breaks it all the way down.

She’s full of so much joy and wants to bring us along with her. In fact, she’s sharing 31 Freedom Tips throughout the month of July to help us to get there. Be sure to follow her at @bjthecounselor on all platforms.
