Friends, how many of us have 'em? Friends. Ones you can depend on...

-Whodini

Throwback to the 80's, IYKYK

True friends are hard to come by these days. More importantly, showing up consistently, and being present as that friend goes deeper than we may think.  So it's good practice to ask ourselves regularly, "What type of friend am I?" And "Do my relationships support me the way I need them too?" 

On this episode we are having a beautiful conversation about community that supports you when it really counts! This precious heart is sharing with us how important it is to lean on those God has provided for us in season. We also talk about letting go once the season has passed, even when it hurts. 

May you be encouraged to be discerning about who you surrounded by, and how you show up for them. Inspired to trust God's infinite wisdom and timing in your life as He places people on your journey & make way for season changes. God knows what's up ahead, allow the Holy Spirit space to move on your behalf.

The Bible tells us, "And a child shall lead them… " It also instructs us to "train a child up in the way they should go…" I remain in awe of the Word of God's faithfulness, giving us all we need to live a blessed life full of solid principles, and leading us into all truth.

I am honored to introduce my youngest guest to date, on the Love Manifested Podcast! This young lady's parents have done an amazing job of laying a foundation of faith, that they would see come to fruition much earlier than expected. From her testimony post having a cancerous brain tumor, this courageous heart has some wisdom to impart to us all! 

May you be encouraged by this precious young lady as she details the power of prayer and worship. Reminding you that faith grows in the hardest of times, & that God is always with you, in all situations.  

Y’all ready?

Have you ever been in a state of seeking? Not knowing exactly what it is you desire, but you feel like something is missing? Trying various external things may seem fun and satisfactory for a while but over time you still feel like you are hungry for something. This can happen even when as a child you learned the way, the truth, and the life you were supposed to follow. 

In this episode, we meet the beautiful heart of a woman who knew how to do better but was simply choosing to do it her way. However, nothing was quenching her thirst. Well aware of the power of the Word of God and fed up, one day she decided to just go!

To seek God and find Him is one of the most powerful things we will ever experience. Especially once you realize He was never that far off from you. It doesn't mean our situations change immediately, but the process towards changing begins internally once you surrender. May you be encouraged by this conversation to take the first step, to just go! 

Be sure and listen all the way to the end for a really precious deposit of love from this very special guest!

Pain is an experience that every human will have in our life. None of us are absolved of that. Another truth is that we don't always feel like we can bear what we are going through, because we can't see any light in front of us. Not even a flicker, to bring us a little hope. BUT GOD!

Recently, I had a heartfelt conversation with a woman who has been dear to my family for many years. During our talk, she shared with me the challenges and pain she has faced, as well as the ways in which she found strength and healing through her faith. We discussed how life can present unexpected challenges despite being raised with a strong sense of purpose, and how these experiences can lead to profound and life-changing pain. She has overcome various hardships including illness, addiction, and emotional ups and downs, demonstrating resilience and healing.

May you be inspired to understand the power of God's Word. Sometimes, it asks you simply to be still, listen, and be obedient.

Welcome to season 2 friends!

On this episode we invite you to the table where two close friends that happen to be of different faiths share heart and experiences that bring them even closer together. 

I am talking to my dear friend about her journey as an Iranian muslim refugee in the 1980's. A powerful conversation as this precious heart shares stories about what her 7 year old self experienced as she and her family fled her home country in search of peaceful acceptance and a fresh start during a time of war. The love she still holds in her heart for humanity, even though she has experienced the worst of hateful, heinous acts is pure gold. 

May you be enlightened to love beyond the confines of your limited experiences. When Jesus said love your neighbor as yourself He never put a qualifier on that neighbor. May you be encouraged to seek hearts to love on outside of your religious, political, socioeconomic alliances. 

Y'all ready? Let's go!

Looks like we made it! Behold the final episode of season 1!

Join us on this behind the scenes recap of the entire first season of  The Love Manifested podcast! Ayannah and I and Haven Biscotti, her mostly lol, well behaved Cava-poo, are having a little fun as we take a loving look back at some of the best moments of the season. 

By the grace of God we have delivered 32 episodes, of  what we pray has landed as love and inspiration from all the thought provoking life experiences,  shared from our beautifully vulnerable guests and the Spirit of God. As Ayannah reminisces, "It's all just like a big hug"!

As always, while listening to this podcast our hope is that you have been brought to a greater understanding that you are not alone. That God is always for you and can bring you through the greatest of challenges. All you need to do is seek Him and you will find out just how much He loves you. That He is in every detail and delights in every one that pertains to your life, showing up in the depths of your pain and hard times. We also hope that you have been able to add some tools to your tool box for your life, from our guests stories and "T" Time. 

Hope you enjoy reminiscing with us and are inspired to go back and revisit any and all episodes you love and/or have missed. Stay connected with us, and subscribe to the podcast so you don't miss any summer treats we may share as well as the launch of what's next!

Love to you all, and remember with God as your accountability partner you are always ready for whatever comes. So, as our dear brotha Sugafree says "If you stay ready you ain't got to get ready"! IYKYK Ha!

"Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad."

-Anne Geddes.

Not everyone has a father to celebrate this time of year. Due to circumstances outside of their control, some people have a very deep wound as it pertains to their earthly father. Sometimes that can impact how we see God as "The Father". Making it uncomfortable to grasp or wrap our heads, let alone our hearts around.

On this episode I’m sharing the  'T' with tenderness. As it pertains to how we honor The Father as well as the dad’s in our lives.  A very practical and simple way we connect to our earthly father as well as our heavenly Father. 

My prayer is that you will be moved to an action of love, period. If you are a dad, or have one that you will be moved to love… Love that is healing, and releases forgiveness. Love that is perfect to cast out all your fear, especially of becoming a dad.  That you will be reminded that God "The Father" is a father to the fatherless. You can take the time at your own pace to get to know him as such and build a relationship from where you are right now. He will never reject you in your seeking of Him, nor abandon you like you may feel by your earthly father. May you be encouraged to seek Him more, no matter what your current relationship status is.

May those of you who are honoring your valuable, impactful position as dad, know that you are seen and appreciated in this short time we have together. I thank you for doing and being the best you can. Progressing not for perfection, but because of your love, connection and desire to be present. You are a true hero, and we salute you!  

Y'all ready?

“You’ll never find choice fruit hanging on a bad, unhealthy tree. And rotten fruit doesn’t hang on a good, healthy tree. Every tree will be revealed by the quality of fruit that it produces. You will never pick figs or grapes from thorn trees. People are known in this same way. Out of the virtue stored in their hearts, good and upright people will produce good fruit. Likewise, out of the evil hidden in their hearts, evil ones will produce what is evil. For the overflow of what has been stored in your heart will be seen by your fruit and will be heard in your words.”

Luke 6:43-45 TPT

**Attention beautifully blessed men… This episode is in your favor!

Have you been struggling to believe? Maybe you have simply been making it more complex than it actually is.

The pressures are greater than they have ever been for men in today's times. With society, and media's placing heavy burdens and removing some of the natural dynamics by which we communicate and relate to one another to build relationships...

I have invited one of your blessed and continually progressing brothers along to share a piece of his walk with you. Because there are some of you out there who have not truly connected the dots of just how impactful a relationship with God as Father, is. Through circumstances that can be environmentally charged, or simply the organic part of your nature, many men may have forgotten that through this one very personal relationship everything else in your life will be augmented. It will manifest visible fruits of the Spirit within you. Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, & (one of the most needed) Self Control will pour out, into, and over everything and everyone in your life. 

My prayer is that this rich authentic conversation is a reminder for you, to get back into the seeking and pursuit of God as Father. As shared by one who understands what it is like to be a man balancing the responsibilities of life, and faith in a world that sometimes downplays the support that you so need and deserve.

As you are in the lead position of your life and/or household, may you be edified and inspired through this valuable perspective. 

Y’all ready?

Let’s GO!

What's the Tea? Chai!

What's the "T"? Transition.

On this episode I am sharing some views on transitioning from one space to another. Because I don't think we spend enough talking about the nuances of the in between. When we go from one season to the next it's never presto change-o! We actually have a waiting phase or a transitional period for everything we do. Unfortunately, if improperly stewarded, we can really mess things up during the in between. It can get the best of us! 

I see the solution as simple! And it starts with another "S" word. Can you guess what it is?

I pray this "T" time gets you thinking, offers some reminders, helps you have a woo-saaah, and brings you some comfort in knowing you are not alone in your experience of the in between. Every one of us goes through transition daily for all types of things, and with God there can be peace even when the boat gets to rockin'. 

So..

Y'all ready?

Let's GO!

Our young people are some of the most powerful people on the planet. They are living in great, and equally challenging times. They are doing things like no one has ever done. Standing for what they believe in, and speaking up about what is important to their hearts. 

On this episode I am in a conversation with one of those young ladies with a heart of gold. She is still very much like most of us, in the ongoing process of learning who God is, what He means to her and her existence. No matter what her journey has brought her through, she believes this is the sweetest life she could ever live, and the only life she would want to...

My prayer is that you would listen with the heart of a child to this wise soul. That you would be inspired by the simplicity of our part in honoring the relationship we get to have with God. A relationship sustained by grace, built on progressing not performance or perfecting. 

Y'all Ready? Let's Go!
