Ced is back!

In this episode, he clears up the misconceptions from “I Loved Myself Too Much.” He shares how his good intentions, while admirable, led him to surrender to temptations and lose sight of his true identity in God.

Ced offers tangible insights and heartfelt advice on how God revealed his true self, guiding him toward transformation and a renewed purpose.

In this episode, I’m joined by someone who has been like family to me—Cedric Blake. His character and authenticity have played a powerful role in shaping my own identity journey, and I’m beyond excited to share his story with you.

Cedric opens up about his battle with pride and how his search for loopholes in God’s Word shook the foundation of his identity. But this isn’t where the story ends—it's where it begins.

Through humility and surrender, Cedric discovered the freedom that comes from letting go of old beliefs. He shares how this transformation not only healed his soul but also made him a better person, a devoted husband, and a present father.

💡 Whether you’re questioning your identity or seeking a deeper connection with God, this episode will inspire you to embrace surrender as the gateway to true growth.

Press play, and let’s journey together. 🌱✨

The men I dated reflected my own issues, and factors like "oxytocin," trauma bonding, and my self-beliefs kept me trapped in those relationships. However, after embracing the person God created me to be, I no longer see myself as a prisoner. 

Join me as I explain how my identity contributed to years of suffering in toxic relationships and how this shift has changed everything, making it impossible for me to return to that old mindset.

"For years, I carried a silent barrier between me and God. My 'daddy issues' distorted my view of love, trust, and provision, leading me to believe independence was essential for survival."

But what if healing rewrites that narrative?

Join me as I share my transformative journey of understanding how my relationship with my earthly father distanced me from my Heavenly Father. I’ll reveal how forgiveness became key to freedom, reshaping my faith and perspective on life. This is more than a healing story; it’s about discovering a Father's limitless love.

Tune in for hope on your journey.

Today, we’re thrilled to have an exceptional guest, Coach K!  

She opens up about her journey as a mentor, sharing the highs and lows she encounters along the way. Coach K emphasizes the importance of keeping our humanity intact for those genuine connections and reflects on how she remains mindful of the loving patience God extends to her. Her wisdom encourages us to stay true to ourselves, set healthy boundaries, and recognize that we’re not here to "fix people."  

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the invaluable leadership and mentorship that begins at home.  

Coach K reminds us that family ministry should always come first. Often, we see leaders caring deeply for their employees, students, and church groups, while their own families may be struggling. Remember, it’s hard to be a fantastic business owner and neglectful in your role as a partner or to be an exceptional nurse yet distant from your loved ones.  

Embrace your identity in God, cherish it, and invite Him to work through you and your family!

My prayer has been for God to show me my blind spots, imperfections, and areas for improvement. Whew! Ask, and you will receive. A few lessons I'm learning are that my focus shifted, the importance of the Sabbath, and how my busyness is my reaction to trauma.

Isaiah 55:8

Inner work is never complete.

Here are some things God has brought to my attention. I don't have the answers yet. I'm still processing.

Many of us perceive faith as believing without any proof.  We are taught to believe in God, but we really don't know why.  In this episode, we discuss that there is evidence right under our noses and how we do not need a lot of faith.  Let's declutter our faith!

LOVE is the core of everything, and even though I love and care for people, why am I hurting them?

I thought it was love, but my actions derived from:

Guilt

Obligation

Praise

Reputation

Fear

Today, we are decluttering our love.
