At some point, we have to stop giving people peace without process. And stop labeling what's a cycle as just “God's timing.” Some of these cycles are not divine delays….it's our disobedience and human decisions we refuse to change. Share the scoop!

Morning C.E.R.E.A.L. is the faith-forward podcast where we gather around this virtual bowl for real talk, sacred reflection, and healing conversation.

This season, we're scooping into a special series:

Ungratefully Grateful—for the ones who survived, who pressed through, who smiled when they wanted to scream… and are still wondering what to do with the pain they didn't ask for.

Hosted by D. Michele King, this podcast offers scripture-soaked honesty, cultural relevance, and healing words for weary souls. It's for the ones who love God but have questions, for the high-functioning believers, the fresh graduates, the grieving-but-still-pushing mamas, papas, pastors, and purpose-seekers.

Whether you're sipping coffee or sitting in silence, these episodes are an invitation to get honest with yourself and with God.

You may be grateful, but let's talk about what you had to go through to get there.

Morning C.E.R.E.A.L. is officially back, and we're not coming back the same way we left. We're starting with a brand-new power series that's honest, unfiltered, and long overdue: Ungratefully Grateful. Wait? Huh? YES! UNGRATEFULLY GRATEFUL. This series is for the folks who made it out but still feel the weight. For the ones who love God…but got questions. For the ones who smile in public…but cry on the way home. This ain't about polished praise, it's about truth that heals. We're talking about the kind of gratitude that only comes after grief, pain, and surviving seasons we didn't ask for. Because the truth may hurt… but hurts taken care of? Heal. Every week, we're scooping in with bold conversations, reflections, and faith-filled moments that remind you: You're not alone. You're not crazy. And you're allowed to feel it all….and still be called. So grab your spoon, your journal, your favorite blanket, and meet us in the bowl. It's time to scoop for the soul. ⸻ LIKE. SUBSCRIBE. SHARE. New episodes every Wednesday, starting May 28. From the heart behind 31 Scoops of Gratitude… welcome to Ungratefully Grateful with D. Michele.

In today's scoop of Morning C.E.R.E.A.L., I'm kicking things off with a word we all need: Start where you are. Whether you're feeling behind, disqualified, or just overwhelmed by life's timelines — this scoop is for you.

I'm talking:

•How God makes all things beautiful in His time (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

•Why your “not enough” is more than enough in God's hands (Exodus 4:2)

•And how your story — yes, that story — still matters (Romans 8:28)

So before you count yourself out, grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and meet me around the bowl.

Let's scoop in…

In today's scoop, we're talking about how to keep smiling, pressing, and trusting—even when life feels slow, uncertain, or stuck in the “not yet.” Whether you're waiting on a breakthrough, a blessing, or just a break from the chaos, this word is for YOU. We're diving into Philippians 1:6, which reminds us to walk by faith, not frustration. because God WILL complete what He started!! Let's scoop in!!

One day, God's not going to ask you about them—God's going to ask about you. In this bold and necessary episode, we dig deep into Romans 14:12: “So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.” It's personal. It's real. And it's a call to grow up in grace.

Inspired by the moral urgency of voices like Senator Cory Booker, who said, "WHEN IS IT ENOUGH!?" during his 25-hour and 5-minute historic filibuster, this episode challenges us to take radical responsibility for our faith, our choices, and our witness in the world.

This is for the grown folks in the Spirit—those ready to stop pointing fingers and start pointing toward purpose.

Have you ever felt forgotten by God? Perhaps you are going through a difficult season of life, and you wonder whether God is really there for you. You might feel like He has abandoned you or that His promises are not coming true in your life.

But here's the truth: God has not forgotten you. In fact, the Bible gives many examples of people who felt the same way, we won't go into them all…get into a good bible teaching church and go to Sunday school for the exact examples….but for this quick scoop I want to remind you that just like the examples in the Bible, God showed up and proved himself to be faithful to them and here's the thing…He will do the same for you!

20 Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21 AMP)

Have you ever been faced with a situation that seemed impossible? Maybe you were at the end of your rope, unsure of how to proceed or feeling as though there was no way out. In these moments, it can be easy to feel hopeless and helpless. But as believers, we know that our God is a God of miracles. Not only can He make a way where there seems to be no way, but He delights in doing so. - D. Michele King
