Like everyone, I am always finding myself in need of direction for my life. Honestly, I’ve always struggled with decision making, having confidence in the things that God instructs me to do, decision paralysis, and self-doubt. God has been freeing me from hesitance, disobedience, fear, and lack of trust.

In this episode we dissect scripture about God’s voice in the midst of our rebellion and disobedience. We are sometimes like the people of Judah because we neglect God and don’t always listen well. God highlighted a common misconception and shifted my mind to the fact that once we are spiritually mature, sometimes we are to take the first step THEN the teacher/holy spirit will let us know where to head. He’ll always correct us if we misstep and sometimes He tells us to be still but that’s why we have to SPEND TIME WITH HIM to know what His instructions are.

Takeaways:

God is always speaking, but are we always listening? God is such a gentleman that he gives us free will and a CHOICE to partner with Him.

“We should want to do what God says is the right thing because we begin to BELIEVE that it’s the right thing to do”.

Scriptures mentioned:

Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left. [Isaiah 30:21 NLT AND NIV]

For the Lord corrects those he loves, just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.[ Proverbs 3:12]

For the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes each one he accepts as his child. [ Hebrews 12:6]

God is guiding my journey and I am doing my best to submit to His timeline.

Business is up and down.

In this week’s episode, we explore my transition from a overworked, underpaid, burned out, self-reliant, entrepreneur who was simultaneously holding down a salary job to a NOW Holy Spirit reliant, faith filled, stay at home momprenuer who’s resting on God’s promises and taking her business a day at a time. I have been coming out of old unhealthy mindsets surrounding the way I expected myself to show up in business and also allowing God to transform my perception of my business journey! I am ready to embrace all that God has for me in this season and looking forward to supernatural provision as I am obedient to serving His people.

Takeaways:

Say good bye to hustle culture! Obedience is better than sacrifice and we must remain in a place of reverence and yielding to God’s small voice.

Scriptures mentioned:

‭‭~Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭NLT

‬‬Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

~

Yall miss me? This week’s episode is about this improper balancing act I’m doing with being a working stay-at-home mom, wife, social worker, and all the things. I am finally getting some details kinked out regarding my recording, editing, and publishing schedule for the podcast. And also coming up with realistic goals to get y’all in the door to be interviewed on the podcast!

I explore my reservations about processing emotions, and the importance of making ROOM for them so that I don’t slip into overwhelmed, emotional exhaustion, decision fatigue, anxiety, etc. which leads inevitably ESCAPISM.

Takeaways:

Starve your flesh. Make a REGULAR practice of fasting and prayer. Self control is a fruit of the spirit. When we are creating environments that house suppression of our emotions, lack of self care, disconnection from God, and other negative habits, we lead ourselves closer to burnout and escapism. We must be vigilent and of sober mind in order to be equipped for the fight of our faith.

Scriptures mentioned:

Romans 12:2. "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Psalms 16:5-11 You, Lord, are all I have, and you give me all I need; my future is in your hands. How wonderful are your gifts to me; how good they are!

Matthew 17:21 – “However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

Luke 14:27

"Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple"

Matthew 16:24

"If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me"

Romans 8:13 ... 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

Corinthians10:13. “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. Godis faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”

In this episode, we talk about trusting God’s timing with HIS will for our lives. Also, what role a sense of community plays in our purpose being carried out. I talk through some of my inner thoughts about what I want to do with my life! I don’t have a lot of things figured out and I’m finding my place in my purpose. I am in a space of keeping my ear peeled for God’s direction in my life and am ready to walk in boldness in the spaces he wants me to occupy and accepting the redirection from the places he doesn’t.

Takeaways:

We are not praying away God’s loving correction and the development of our character. We have to have a testimony and we must embrace the shaping of it out of trust and reliance on God. God has us all exactly where he wants us to be, and if he’s given you clear instruction you MUST be obedient in carry it out. Give God something to work with. Give him something to grace!

Scriptures mentioned:

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path.

Isaiah 55:8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD.

1 John 4:4 Greater is he that is in me than he that is in me than he that is in the world.

Galatians 5:16-26: When you yield to the Holy Spirit's power, you will abandon the cravings of your self-life.

1 Corinthians 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

!!*WARNING*!!

This episode’s audio quality was compromised due to the public recording setting.

This episode is the SEVENTH episode of Season 2!! What better way to end out the new year with something symbolic of the number of completion? Listen in as I talk all about me growing up at my “grown” age. I have had a lot of feelings about the changes I’ve gone through within the last 6-8 months. Currently, I’m navigating through some duality with grief, frustration, then gratitude, and gratefulness. There's alot of things I simply don't have figured out and it's discouraging at times. Nonetheless, emotions aside, I know it'll all work out!

Takeaways:

I am hopeful about the future so if you’re experiencing some of these same emotions associated with growing up, BE ENCOURAGED!! Life gets better because we get better. We will not always be “new” to everything. We will be empowered with knowledge and wisdom from God in order to pay it forward. Share your wisdom with another woman and pull her up.

"There's Work to Do" a poem by DANESA HARBISON

There’s more to do after the tears dry.

There’s work to do than solitude.

Some things can only be served at a dinner for two.

Pull up a seat at a table fit for royalty.

There in His presence, I am greeted by three.

The Holy Trinity made a reservation and waited on me.

Here I am at the table where there’s all the things I need.

We talk for a while, I get my bread for the day, some next steps, correction, love, direction, all the above.

They’re reminding me there’s work that’s done and now there’s work to do.

Telling me it gets better. Things change and I will too.

Scriptures mentioned:

Galatians 6:6 (NKJV)

Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

Ephesians 4:15&16

Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

Romans 8:25

“But if we look forward to something we don't yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently."

Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;

Isaiah 26:4

Trust in the Lord forever, For in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength.

In this episode, we talk alot of feelings sis! I know I am not the only one dealing with some grief surrounding the holidays. I’m not grieving a loved one that’s lost but the ones that are still here. My idea of family life at this stage looks completely different than my reality. Listen as I explore those things. By the end, you’ll be inspired, encouraged, and loved on!

Takeaways:

When we choose to not steward our relationships well, we are aiding the enemy in causing division amongst God’s people. I am holding myself more accountable for the unforgiveness that is lingering in my heart. Join me in that journey as I will be praying for you. Sometimes you have to be the catalyst for change in your family.

Scriptures mentioned, paraphrased, and referenced:

Romans 15:5 (NASB1995)

Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,

Ephesians 4:31-32 (NASB1995)

Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.

1 John 5:2 (NASB1995)

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments.

Psalms 133:1 (NASB1995)

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brothers to dwell together in unity!

Proverbs 16:7 (NASB1995)

When a man’s ways are pleasing to the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

Hey Kingdom Cousins!!

We’re supposed to show our flaws, share our testimonies, be vulnerable and HONEST with one another. And that’s exactly what KHN is all about!

This episode explores our tendencies to “overspiritualize” things which leads to procrastination, inauthenticity, and being critical of others.

Takeaways:

None of us even come close to the image of Christ. The good news is that God knew we wouldn’t. The self imposed pressure robs us of intimacy with our Father. Remember, we aren’t responsible for other peoples walk. We are to intercede, share the good news, offer friendship, guidance, wisdom, and direction. Jesus has the wheel not us!

Scriptures mentioned, paraphrased, and referenced:

Romans 3:23

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Revelation 12:11

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

1 Timothy 1:15-17

Yet for this reason I (Paul) found mercy, so that in me as the foremost sinner, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.

John 14:6

Jesus said to doubting Thomas, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through believing in Me.

Hey Kingdom Cousins,

Listen in on this episode (that feels like a FT call to one of your homegirls) as I explore my struggles with imposter syndrome, fear of failure, and insecurities surrounding my purpose. Find out where I am on my journey to pursuing my purpose! I am in an interesting space and I want to bring my cousins along!

Takeaways:

We house the Holy Spirit so we walk in power, dominion, and authority. God equips us to fulfill our purpose. We’re all on borrowed time here on Earth. Go forth! Concern yourself with Our Father’s business above ALL things and you’ll be straight!

Jeremiah 29:11(NKJV)

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Colossians 2:10(NKJV)

and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

1 Thessalonians 5:19-22(MSG)

Don’t suppress the Spirit, and don’t stifle those who have a word from the Master. On the other hand, don’t be gullible. Check out everything, and keep only what’s good. Throw out anything tainted with evil.

1 Thessalonians 5:21(NASB)

But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.

Proverbs 19:21(NASB)

Many plans are in a man’s heart, But the counsel of the Lord will stand.

‘AN ELOQUENT AUTHOR’ by Danesa Harbison

In our mother’s womb, there’s a place that we’ve all been.

The in between.

The time when we legally exist in Earth and in Spirit.

We wait for months before we transition.

We’re born. We die. But what’s in between?

Life. The gift to fulfill our purpose.

Some souls are gifted back to God because they are over achievers, they serve their purpose, and have submitted their work early.

Then, there are those of us that have work to do.

People to reach. Lives to impact. Stories to continue writing.

We are often writing our stories without words for the next page, let alone knowing the ending.

The one who knows the beginning, middle, and the end, knows us also so intricately.

Knitted. Crafted. Molded. Formed. Us.

Here we are. Figuring it out. Figuring ourselves out.

We spend our whole lives’ getting to know ourselves. So why not get to know the one that knows us best?

God handcrafted us and life shapes us.

Fluidity in our identities. Ever changing.

Trying to get back. Back to what though?

Mostly back to who He designed us to be in the first place.

Pretty great creator, huh?

This episode title was inspired by this song:

Hey Kingdom Cousins,

This episode is me ranting about a hard day, inconveniences, and practicing the fruits of the spirit. My inner child is such a bully sometimes. Anybody else ever deal with that? Most of us are too hard on ourselves and the enemy likes to play on our emotions! Don’t fall for it! I walk you through some of the negative thought patterns I experienced and how to walk in the authority you have over your flesh.

Takeaways:

You get to choose how YOU perceive “inconveniences” that are meant to test you. God is growing my patience and flexibility in this season. I am CONSTANTLY finding myself in positions where I have to pivot and it is apart of God chastening and developing my character.

Don’t give the enemy too much credit when we KNOW that meekness is only developed through experience(s). Allow our Father to shape you and choose to see Him in everything.

You have a purpose that the enemy wants to stop you in fulfilling so you must persevere and execute God’s vision.

Scriptures mentioned, paraphrased, and referenced:

II Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV)

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Hebrews 12:6 (NKJV)

For whom the Lord loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.”

Ephesians 4:12 (NKJV)

for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,

Matthew 4:4 (NKJV)

But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

James 1:3 (NKJV)

knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

Psalms 34:18 (TPT)

The Lord is close to all whose hearts are crushed by pain, and he is always ready to restore the repentant one.

Galatians 5:22 (NKJV)

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

Hey Kingdom Cousins,

Listen as I walk you through a very patchy story about my Homecoming Weekend! I am a Central State Alumna and honey Auntie was outsideeeee. Tune in so you can hear the revelation I received while I was kicking it lol!

Scriptures mentioned, paraphrased, and referenced:

1 Peter 4:7 (NIV)

The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.

1 Peter 5:8 (NIV)

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Titus 2:12 (NKJV)

teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,

2 Corinthians 5:13 (NIV)

If we are “out of our mind,” as some say, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.

Ezekiel 44:23 (NIV)

They are to teach my people the difference between the holy and the common and show them how to distinguish between the unclean and the clean.

Romans 12:2 (NIV)

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Deuteronomy 23:9 (NIV)

When you are encamped against your enemies, keep away from everything impure.

Takeaways:

Be vigilant and watchful for the strategy of satan. Don’t keep waiting around for him to get more crafty and familiar with you and your cycles.

The enemy is trying to build his army, weaken God’s army by destroying them, making them crazy, keeping them bound, killing then in the mind, literally physically killing them, corrupting their faith, robbing them of their identities.

We need to value HOW we do our faith walk and HOW we chase after experiencing God as well as our salvation! Not just “getting into heaven”.
