I know when we read the book of Jonah it’s easy to talk about him because it’s like, “Dude so disobedient” or “Man, you have to be out of your mind”. But may I suggest to you that Jonah had a heart issue just as many of us “currently have” or “have had”. I think it's safe to say that at some point in our lives, we all have acted like jonah in some kind of way. Take a listen.

Lean into God. You mean something to him! No matter where you may find yourself right now, he's choosing you. There's another pour to receive that’s produced from the leaning in. Be encouraged. God is welcoming you! I want you to know that your access has not been denied.

Do not allow life’s everyday responsibilities to cause you to neglect sitting in what you are thinking and feeling. Your ability to push past these certain moments does not always indicate strength. Sometimes, strength is in our ability to recognize when a “sit in it” moment is needed. Take a listen!

There are so many ways fear can show up in our lives, and it may not look the same for us all. However, it does not take away from the fact that fear is fear! Sometimes, the journey to freedom is found in the simple, yet, most impactful, and life altering things. Here are some things I’ve been exposed to so far on this journey. I pray that it helps you just as it’s consistently helping me in real-time. Daily! Let’s grow together.

Sometimes things can get a bit noisy. There’s a danger in allowing the opinions of others to be louder than the voice and instructions of God. We have to know what is and isn’t for us. Self awareness is important, we must know our capacities and where we are. Logic can sound good, but it doesn’t mean that God is calling for us to adjust our lives to fit everything that we hear and see.

So, as you all know. In last week’s episode, we discussed some things that produced doubt within ourselves and caused us to show up in certain ways. One of those things was rejection. I received some questions about the last episode, so we’re going to dive into how we shake that rejection when in a situation like the one mentioned in the last episode. If you’re someone who has been rejected and you don’t know how to release it, this is for you. If you now have sour feelings towards someone because they once rejected you, this is for you! Don’t allow that rejection to get in the way of how you view and treat others. Come take a walk down memory lane with me. We’re going to go over 6 years back.

Have you ever been battling with doubt but just can’t seem to put your finger on why this is such a struggle for you? This may help. Life experiences and the way we personally view ourselves have a way of causing us to doubt the way we show up all across the board. Today, we will discuss some ways to help us locate the root of doubt, which will help us to know what we should take to God. Take a listen!

You don’t own them, you’re just experiencing them!

Often we have the tendency to feel as if a person belongs to just us once we have invested in the bond. But truth of the matter is, none of us own anyone.. we just happen to have the opportunity to experience them!

Have you ever taken a moment to actually digest that there’s a big difference between what’s good to you and what’s good for you? Maybe you have or maybe you haven’t. However here’s your moment. I feel as if a lot of our time is wasted on the wrong people and things because we get comfortable with what’s good to us. It’s making you feel good, but nothing is being produced! What about substance?

What does living a life that’s pleasing to God in this day and time look like? We don’t hear much talk about how challenging this walk can be but this week we’re going to talk a little about it. Truth of the matter is, this journey never looks exactly the same for everyone. Needless to say, there are some pros and cons.
