Powerful Conversations

In this episode, we'll discuss the consequences King Rehoboam suffered for listening to the wrong advisors. In addition, we'll talk about the power of influence and how the wrong type of influence can lead to catastrophic consequences.

In this episode, we discuss the powerful conversation between John the Baptist and his disciples that could've shaken his confidence regarding his own calling and could've led to jealousy and comparison.

In this episode, we go over the powerful conversation between Bathsheba and Prophet Nathan which activated the purse God had for Solomon.

In this episode, we'll go over the story of Hannah and how she navigated through bullying, dismissal of feelings, and criticism from those around her that didn't understand the depth of her anguish and discouragement.

Key points: There will always be bullies and critics all around us that just won't ever understand our pain and anguish, but we need to bring that conversation to God first. Inversely, we too have to be very careful to not become the type of folks who dismiss other people's pain and become a bully of sorts.

In episode 2, the powerful conversation between a widow and Elisha is discussed as well as the impact of the question he asked her: "What do you have at home?"

In this episode we learned the following:

*Just because we serve God doesn’t mean we aren’t susceptible to being in financial messes such as debt and getting ourselves into certain types of trouble.

*It is okay to reach out to friends and family to tap into their resources (and no not money); however, if you do tap into their resources, remember that you and your household are the ones who have got to put in the work.

*Involve your household in locking your doors and getting to work on cleaning up whatever mess you may have.

This episode is all about the introduction; how this podcast series went from a nudge in the heart to an actual episode and how powerful conversations are.
