Real Talk With Aray

Imma keep it real, I’ve got control issues. I don’t mind trusting God as long as I still feel like I got some say in how things turn out. But last week, God checked me. In this episode, I open up about what it really means to let go and let God…not in a churchy cliché way, but in a real life way. This one ain’t me preaching at you…it’s me sitting with you, saying, “I struggle with this too.” Push play and share with a friend 💯❤️

In this first episode of my new podcast series Shattered, I’m taking you with me down to the potter’s house in Jeremiah 18. Life has a way of breaking us, but God has a way of rebuilding us.

Ever felt like you’re not enough? Like you’re pressing forward but falling short? In this episode I want to remind you that feeling weak doesn’t mean you’re losing… it means you are still in the fight!! Push play and share with a friend

In today’s episode, I’m excited to share a powerful revelation I had while playing golf last week. What if the sand trap you stumbled into isn't the end of the road for you, but rather the perfect setup for a comeback? Trust me, you won’t want to miss this! Hit play and don’t forget to share it with a friend who needs to hear this message!

Sometimes, we feel disconnected. We feel stuck. We feel weighed down. That’s when the Vine-Dresser steps in not to cut us off, but to lift us up!

Today we are coming from John 15:4-5 this message centers on Jesus’ command to abide… Not just visit, but remain. Not just survive, but thrive in your walk with God.
Let's breaks down the Greek word μένω (menó) showing how abiding means endurance, persistence, and an unshakable connection to Jesus, the True Vine!! Today Stand firm and declare, “I’m staying right here!” no matter what happens in my life!

Today, we're doing something different. This episode is more than just conversation it's kinda like a testimony. It's the beginning of a brand-new sermon and devotional series: ABIDE: Staying Connected to Jesus. At the end of each year, around November, I ask God to reveal a word to hold me down for the year ahead. It’s a word that speaks to where He’s leading me, shaping my faith, and challenging my growth. But last year… everything changed…like super fast! I lost my mother suddenly. I was voted in as the new pastor of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Frederick. I was thrown into one of the most intense seasons of my life!! It was the best of times and the worst of times all at the same time! I felt overwhelmed, exhausted, and stretched beyond what I thought I could handle! But check this tho… on Resurrection Sunday, God reminded me of my word of the year: ABIDE. Today, we're unpacking what that word means…(well kinda)This is for anyone who’s felt stuck, weary, or uncertain.

ABIDE IN JESUS!! Thank you for listening! Your support means the world. Love y'all. Now, let’s get right into it!! #abide

This is the in-between… and even here, God speaks.

The Cross is Not God losing its God loving!

Serve like Jesus did!
