Most teenagers don’t lose their future in one big mistake.

They drift off course through small daily choices they barely notice.

In this audio message, I share my real story—growing up without a father, being raised by my great-grandmother in a tiny house, living in a children’s shelter, and even spending a night in juvenile hall after a heated moment during a chess game. I wasn’t planning my future. I was just trying to survive.

What changed my life wasn’t luck or talent.

It was small habits practiced daily.

In this audio, you’ll hear 10 simple habits that can help you:

Improve your grades

Build stronger friendships

Start earning money early

Develop discipline and confidence

Find peace, purpose, and direction through faith

These habits don’t require popularity, money, or special ability.

They only require a willing heart and consistent choices.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about your future—listen closely. One habit you hear today could change the direction of your life.

Listen all the way through—especially the final habit, which brings everything together and gives you a foundation that lasts when life gets hard.

Greetings, friends and supporters of the channel.

Let me ask you a serious question: what are you learning today that will help you better serve God?

We’re a little over a week into the new year, and this video presents a heartfelt challenge—especially to Christians—to examine our habits, discipline, and thought patterns. Faith does not grow in a vacuum. Growth requires reading, meditation, and discernment.

Yes, the Bible must always be central. Scripture is God-breathed, authoritative, and sufficient for salvation and godly living. But Christians are not called to ignorance of history, economics, politics, or the ideas shaping the world around us. God gives knowledge—even to unbelievers—and wise Christians learn how to discern truth from error.

In this video, I talk about:

Why reading only the Bible (without discernment) can still lead to shallow faith

Why re-reading good books often produces more fruit than constantly chasing new ones

The danger of theological ignorance in modern churches

Scripture memory, meditation, and spiritual discipline

Why “precept upon precept” is still God’s method for growth

And why ignorance—especially willful ignorance—is spiritually dangerous

We are commanded to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. That includes how we think. That includes what we read. That includes what we meditate on.

If you want stronger faith, sharper discernment, and a mind saturated with truth, this message is for you.

If this video challenges or encourages you, please share it, give it a thumbs up, and subscribe to the channel. Let’s grow together—by the Word of God and by wisdom rightly applied.

In this long-form, unscripted reflection, I speak candidly and thoughtfully on several interconnected concerns facing the church and the world today.

The central focus of this video is true versus false worship—drawing from Scripture (especially John 4:24), the writings of A.W. Pink, and the biblical teaching that only those who have been born again can truly worship God in spirit and in truth.

Along the way, I also reflect on:

• Religious deception and apostasy in modern Christianity

• Why religion without regeneration leads to false worship

• How Satan uses religion as a tool of deception

• The holiness of God versus entertainment-driven worship

• Cultural, economic, and prophetic observations related to our times

• Signs of spiritual decline and watchfulness for Christ’s return

This video is intentionally conversational and reflective, meant to mirror how real thinking often happens—connecting theology, Scripture, current events, and personal observation.

If you’re looking for serious biblical teaching, honest reflection, and a faith-centered examination of worship, truth, and deception in our age, I invite you to listen patiently and prayerfully.

“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” — John 4:24 (KJV)

Back in 2021, I had a strong hunch that 2024 to 2028 would be the golden years for silver and gold.

In a world filled with shallow entertainment, it’s refreshing to return to films that carry depth, meaning, and eternal themes.

In this video, I share three timeless films I personally recommend watching during the Christmas season—especially for Christians and anyone searching for stories about faith, redemption, sacrifice, and hope.

These are not fast, flashy movies. They are epic, thoughtful films that reward patience and reflection:

Films that shaped generations

Films with powerful moral and biblical themes

Films worth watching with family during December

If you’re tired of modern movies that entertain but leave you empty, these classics may surprise you.

Let me know in the comments:

Which one have you seen?

Which one will you watch this Christmas?

What if the Bible does not teach endless conscious torment—but destruction?

NOTE: Material fire can only act upon material substance. Therefore, literal, physical fire can not directly harm what is immaterial (a soul or spirit). This is simply true by definition, but God is teaching that God, who is a consuming fire, can destroy both the body, material substance, and the soul or spirit, immaterial substance

Hebrews 10:39 contrasts “them who believe to the saving of the soul” with those who draw back to “perdition.”

The Greek word translated perdition is apoleia (ἀπώλεια)—a term that consistently means destruction, ruin, or loss, not unending life in torment.

Throughout Scripture, apoleia is set in direct contrast to life, salvation, and immortality. This raises a crucial question:

If eternal life is a gift given only to believers, what is the final end of the wicked?

This is not an attempt to soften judgment or deny accountability—but to ask an honest, biblical question: Does the Bible teach eternal torment, or final destruction?

I encourage you to listen carefully, search the Scriptures for yourself, and consider whether annihilation better reflects both God’s justice and God’s mercy.

Alongside a reflection from Spurgeon's 'Morning and Evening,' we’ll discuss how salvation is truly the work of God, not human effort. Join us in reflecting on the beauty of God’s grace at work."

Why does an all-powerful and loving God allow suffering, pain, and evil? In today’s message, we dive deep into this timeless question using Scripture, real-life examples, and personal stories—from physical pain like my kidney stone experience, to emotional pain from heartbreak, and the deep grief of losing my great-grandmother who raised me.

The Bible gives us powerful answers, and through these truths we can learn to see God’s purpose, His love, and His direction even in life’s darkest moments. My prayer is that this message strengthens your faith and reminds you that no suffering is wasted in God’s hands.

In this powerful teaching, Brother Carlton breaks down the one habit that separates people who succeed from those who fail — a timeless principle taken from Albert E. N. Gray’s classic “The Common Denominator of Success.”

Whether you’re in sales, business, ministry, or personal growth, this message will open your eyes to how habits, discipline, and faith shape your destiny. Through examples from Joshua and Caleb, the Apostle Paul, and insights from Brian Tracy and Earl Nightingale, you’ll discover why success requires doing the things most people don’t like to do — and why faith transforms your mindset.

If you’ve struggled with motivation, procrastination, or negative thinking, this message will help you rise higher in Christ and live with purpose, confidence, and biblical courage.
