When I was in seminary school, Dr. Virginia D. stated that the worse deception is self-deception because you don’t believe that you are deceived. James 1: 22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. That being said, in your heart, do you really love God? Do your actions support your words? That's what we will take on in this episode, to see if we are deceiving ourselves or truly living for God.

I'm sure you've heard the quote to each is his/her own. In this episode, I wanted to unpack that a little through how I see that and why I believe understanding each person has the right to their personal preferences as long as it doesn't contradict scripture of course.  Your end game and season of life is vital to respecting and understanding how we can walk away or move forward with what God has placed in your heart to do. 

What's the real reason you do what you do? A motive is defined as the underlying reason for any action. Many times we believe that because we have the right words and actions, we think it's pleasing to God.  In this episode, we will examine how God is interested in our motives more than he is our words and actions.  

It's no shortage of great leaders out there such as Toure Roberts, Danielle Strickland, Sarah Jakes-Roberts  John C. Maxwell, Michael Todd, Dharius Daniels, John Gray, Craig Groeschel, Chad Veach, Bob Iger, T.D. Jakes and so many more that I didn't mention. With so many books and podcasts out there I'm sure you're probably like why should I listen to another take on leadership. That's one major thing many of these people have in common, they never feel like they know all it is about leadership.  This is something that has to be cultivated daily especially as times change. Within this episode, I just want to share some of my overall thoughts on the broad term LEADERSHIP! Leading from the heart by starting with self. 

Andy Stanly said it best "Direction, not intention, determines the destination." I believe most of us have intentions for being great in life.  However, many of us lack the preparation that usually drives the direction we need in order to move towards our destination. This episode will unpack this concept and help you understand that intention is simply the starting point but you need more in order to get to the endpoint. 

You have to be willing to develop throughout your career and life in general. Within this episode, we will focus on 3 areas that will help you develop and excel within your career or purpose itself. 

Choosing a career can be difficult especially without prayer. Therefore we must seek God and do our due diligence because only what God has declared over us is what's guaranteed to take place. As you listen to this episode, you will gain the insight you need to pick, change, or go forward with your career. Remember there is a purpose in your career. 

In this episode letting listeners what's coming and the decision to extend Season 3.  We will dive into things that of course cover faith, career, making decisions, and staying faithful to what God called us to in the midst of this COVID-19.
