  • 19. Protecting Your Gifts

    Alright, so listen, I want to jump right into this topic today! We’re going to spend our time together talking about protecting your gifts. As I was developing the content for today, I realized that it’s December, which means its Christmas, which means people are out shopping for gifts, and I promise I did not wake up this morning and say “I hope people” know how to protect their Christmas gifts. Today, we’re going to be focusing on your spiritual gifts, the things that are given us to by God, that we may often try to run from out of fear of being “too great”.

  • 18. Is It Really For Your Protection

    This week we're taking a look at the way that we create walls in and around our lives. Some of the walls that we develop have the potential to help nurture and cultivate our growth. Other walls have the ability to make us remain small and are detrimental to our growth. This week ask yourself the following: What is the dream? What am I trying to build? What do I want?

    When you define your dream/vision/purpose, it brings things back into focus. Helping you realize and actualize what it is you’re after.

    When you define what you’re trying to build, it helps you to hone in on what is necessary for the fulfillment of your dream.

    When you define what you want, if helps you to ensure your desires are in alignment with your divine purpose.

  • 17. Handling Turbulence in Life

    This episode centers on navigating the turbulence that we encounter in life. Below are a few important points drawn out of the message. Life has been hard for most of us over these last 2 years, but there is something to be learned. 

    1.  Feeling depleted does not mean that God is not with you.

    2.  The presence of doubt does not mean that you’re not capable.

    3.  The way that you see yourself will speak volumes to how you care for or beat yourself up.

    4.  Just because there are problems where you’re at does not mean that God does not want you there. There will be problems everywhere.

    5.  God means for our journey to be tough at times.

    6.  Through our interactions with our enemies, who dig into the sensitive areas of our lives, we are made stronger.

    7.  The walk of faith is tough. You might get beat up on the fight. Life can be rough and unfair. But it is through these hardships that we become fortified and wiser.

    8.  The closer you come to the promise the more difficult the opposition will become.

  • 13. The Essence of a Good Relationship

    There is no such thing as a perfect relationship. There is no perfect man or perfect woman. No perfect pet. No perfect job. No perfect thing that will make everything better for eternity. Rather, there are good relationships. Good jobs. Good pets. Good situations. Each of these is developed not through perfection, but through imperfection. That brings us to today’s topic, The Essence of a “Good Relationship”. This episode is not just for couples or those who are married. It’s for friends, parents, and family members. For co-workers and colleagues. We are all entering and exiting relationships throughout our lives and sometimes we have no idea that it’s occurring.
