My Faith Is Bigger Than My Fears Podcast

In today's episode, we're going to talk about Apostle Paul, who encourages us in Philippians 4:6 not to be anxious about anything. We're going to break down this verse, and then we're also going to talk about how the peace of God that surpasses all understanding guards our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 

Let's break down this verse. Paul tells us to be anxious for nothing, but rather to make our requests known to God through prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. Paul is telling us to trust God, no matter what our circumstances are, whether we're believing God to answer our prayers for ourselves or others. We know that God's peace is with us and will help us through every situation if we keep our minds stayed on Him. While guarding our hearts and minds, meaning not letting our emotions or inner self be influenced negatively, causing us to doubt what we're asking God for. 

Here are some scriptures to reference: 
"Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all." 2 Thessalonians 3:16 ESV

"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Proverbs 4:23 ESV

God's peace, is described as a profound sense of inner tranquility, wholeness, and security that surpasses human understanding. Trust God, having confidence in Him, a relationship with God, knowing God's character and being in His presence is what we all need during these hard times. 

So even in these hard times that we're all dealing with, there's so much going on in the world- the protests, personal issues, family issues. We have friends who are dealing with sickness in their bodies, but here is Paul telling us to be anxious for nothing, meaning we will face trying times but not to worry about our circumstances, but to trust God, give God thanks, and know that He is in control, no matter what we face. So my question to you is, what does God's peace look like to you?

On today's episode we're gonna be talking about why we offer others kindness and compassion but often forget to extend the same grace to ourselves.  Why is it hard for us to give ourselves grace? When I think about grace, I think about how I am forgiving, understanding, loving, and kind to others even even they have hurt me, but I don't extend that same grace to myself. Do you find yourself in the same situation? 

Do you feel like you deserve grace? The best grace we have is God's grace. God's grace is His unmerited favor, His compassion, His forgiveness,His mercy and grace, and it allows us to have salvation with Him. So as you go into the rest of week, I pray that you will start giving yourself the same grace that you give others. Don't let fear keep you from showing yourself grace based on past experiences that you feel ashamed of. You still deserve grace. If God gives us grace,why don't you give yourself the same grace that you extend to others.

Happy Father's Day to all the Fathers.

In today's episode, we're going to discuss how people can congratulate you and be happy for you while others are envious or jealous of you. One thing I've realized in my 40's is that it's  okay to disagree and have your own opinion about you or others, but one thing we will agree on is respect. Regardless of whether someone likes you or not, in the words of my late grandmother, you don't let anyone treat you any kind of way. 

Listen, if Jesus, who is perfect, had to deal with persecution from a certain group of people while  being worshiped and praised by others, what makes us think we're any special compared to Him? We have to understand that we cannot control how people feel about us, whether they support us or not. We have to own our own space, not shrink for anybody, and be true to ourselves. Never feel like you owe anyone an explanation or have to dismiss your feelings. You know who supports you and who doesn't, so let them talk. 

Jesus gives us the best example. In Matthew 5:43-44, the bible says, 'You have heard it said, you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' but Jesus says, 'Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.' Since Jesus faced persecution while also being praised, we should follow His advice to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, it means people will talk about us whether it's good or bad. It's okay to set boundaries, even if they are congratulating or persecuting us; let them talk. As the song says, Let's give them something to talk about.'

Today's episode discusses how our fears control us or how we allow other's fears to control us. We know it's a natural instinct to remove ourselves, especially when we're in fight and flight mode. One thing we have to learn is how to face our fears and stop running away from them because of the unknown. God hasn't given us the spirit of fear. 2 Timothy 1:7

I realize that we can allow people to instill fear in us because they are fearful, and because we are second-guessing what we know should do, and we have a small piece of fear in us that allows people's opinions to keep us stuck and paralyzed due to their own fears that are now projected onto us. 

Sometimes we have to sit still and ask ourselves, why are we running away from our fears, and realize there is a bigger problem that we need to address.  It's time to trust God, stop allowing others and ourselves to keep us stuck in our fears, it's time to move forward in our faith, knowing that we can conquer anything with the help of God. 

Don't allow your fears to dictate you; make the best decisions for you, and own them. Keep pushing forward, not letting your fears or other people's fears  push you away from having faith in God. Trust God no matter how fearful things may seem.

Today's episode I'm  talking about how God interrupted,  yet orchestrated, His plans for my son Chandler and his roommate Melvin. Question: Do we ever consider God's plans when making plans for ourselves and plan life with others, but do we ever consider God's plans for us? The Bible says, " The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps." Proverbs 16:9 ESV 

We know that God's plans are better than ours, but what if we are not willing to accept the plan God has laid out for us, a plan that causes loss, grief, uncertainty, or even doubt? We cannot make our plans and except God to submit to our plans. That's not how God operates; we know that if it's according to God's plan and will, it will come to pass. Some of us are not even seeking God for guidance or asking God what's the plan you have for me?  The Bible says, "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteouness, and all these things will be added to you." Matthew 6:33 ESV

God's plan can bring grief, loss, peace, joy, healing, friendship, clarification, and reconciliation. Are you willing to contiune planning your life for yourself, or are you willing to seek God first for the plans He has for you? Chandler and Melvin didn't know they needed each other, but God did; that's how I know this was God's plan.

On today's episode, we are going to discuss how your storm is coming to an end. And in the midst of the storm, are you trusting God? Even though there is evidence that you have gone through a storm, I am reminded that even in the midst of the storm, the skies will clear up, the clouds will come out, and God's sunlight will shine through. 

We can talk about Peter, who was able to walk on water in the midst of a storm, but got distracted and lost faith because of the winds and rain, causing Peter to start sinking when he took his eyes off Jesus Christ. So I want to encourage you to keep going; don't let fear and doubt keep you from moving forward in the midst of your storm. Always remember that God is with you, even in the midst of your storms, and that storms don't last forever; they always come to an end. 

Remember, when we were kids, and if there was a storm, my mom or grandmother would say to turn everything off because God is speaking. How many of us are still attuned to the voice of God in the midst of life's turbulent storms? During this time, it is crucial to cultivate a deep sense of spiritual awareness and stay steadfastly focused on God.

Scripture: 'And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come, And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased." Matthew 14: 28-33

In today's episode, we were reminded that staying consistent is crucial, even when we don't see the desired outcomes yet. Provebs 18:16, "A man's gift taketh room for him, And bringeth him before great men." Reflect on why you started your journey in the first place. Let go of worries about likes, downloads, ratings, or subscribers. If God has called you to fulfill a purpose in His perfect timimg, you will witness the results you've been longing to see, but consistency is key.

I want to encourage someone that it doesn't matter if you only get one view or download; if you love what you're doing and you're helping others, that's all that matters. Keep going. Do you realize that at any moment your life can change? Remember, you never know when that one idea, business plan, video content, podcast episode, or publishing your first book will finally give you results you want. All you need is one yes. One collaboration or one deal can change your life forever. Stay consistent, because it does pay off.

Also, May is Mental Health Month, a timely reminder to prioritize your well-being. Take proactive steps to nourish your mind by engaging in open conversations, taking refreshing walks, practicing mindfulness, journaling, or dedicating a day to self-care and wellness. Be authentic with yourself and others about your needs this month, and embrace the opportunity for growth and renewal.

On today's episode, I am reflecting on my birthday and year 42. It's definitely been transformative journey with its share of triumphs and setbacks, but I firmly believe that this month of May and the rest if the year will be truly remarkable. I am trusting God through year 43, and I have a lot to be thankful for, and I am excited for God's promises because He is faithful.

Even though I didn't get to accomplish everything on my list for the year of 42, and I understand it's OK. We shouldn't beat ourselves up about things that we didn't get to accomplish; I am thankful for the things that I did get to accomplish, like my podcast. 

Here's to year 43, and knowing that God hears our prayers, knows our thoughts, and confirms His words. I know that God abides in me, and that's the best gift I could ever ask for. 

Wishing a Happy Birthday to all May babies, a blessed Mother's Day, and sending love and prayers to all mothers who have experienced the loss of a child this month. 

I leave you with Mason's favorite scripture: ' I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him,the same bringeth forth much fruit:without me ye can do nothing." John 15:5 KJV

On today's episode, we are talking about how we allow to many people to have too much access to us and how we are not obligated to share things with others. You don't have to share our next moves, business ideas, or even allow people in our space. It's okay to set boundaries so that people don't have access to you at all times. Sometimes we have to establish business hours, 9 to 5pm,  with certain individuals, and that's okay. 

Evan Jesus didn't allow everyone to have access to Him. Even Jesus would remove certain people who were doubting when He was performing miracles. Jesus only allowed Peter, James, and John to have complete access to Him, especially during intimate times only when He allowed them. Even Jesus set boundaries. 

I have learned that setting boundaries protects my peace, my space and I have establish healthy boundaries for myself, limiting who has access to me. 

Listen if I set boundaries with who I give access to my children then why should I not set the same boundaries for myself? Everyone does not need to have complete access to you remember that.  Think about it this way: If CEO's or business owners have assistants, that means you have to go through their assistants, not everyone is able to go straight to the CEO, so why should everyone have that access to you?

Today's episode is speaking about being called for such a time as this as we reflect on what does that mean being called and how God calls us to use our voice, spread the gospel, and show up boldly for God.

Two examples of people being confident at a time like this are Queen Esther and Paul. How God used them both for such a time as this, and how they were both willing to put their lives on the line to save their people, while also spreading the gospel to non-believers, and going before the king even though the king didn't call for you.

Scriptures: Esther 4:11 ; 4:14 NKJV " For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
 Acts 9:1-9
Matthew 22:14 

So answer these questions: How is God using you in this season? Is it for you to use your voice? Are you to be standing for what is right or go and spread the gospel? I pray that when God calls your name, you will say, 'I have been called for such a time as this.'
