The King's Kid Convos Podcast

Let’s talk about roots, the not-so-great kind. You can root yourself in bitterness or in blessing. In fear or in faith. Is the root you’re settled in right now even comfortable? Be honest. Gabby [@gabrielleorrene] keeps it real on this episode as we discuss how to not let your diagnosis, symptoms, or feelings (no matter how controlling) become your identity. Symptoms simply indicate that you may need more of God's help in an area of your life, but it does not mean that symptom is who you are. Let this episode serve as an open field between the realities of mental illness + ungodly urges and the truth that is: We don’t have to live under subjection to it. You are not unchangeable and the more we present ourselves honestly before the Lord the more you will see him changing you.

📖: Hebrews 4:14-16

"Now that we know we have—Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God—let's not let it slip through our fingers. We don't have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He's been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let's walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help.”

Loyal. Fun. Kind. Trustworthy. Dope. We all want these traits in the people we do life with but, we know people don't have to be in the faith to have great qualities. We need people in our circle who aren’t just led by their hearts but by the SPIRIT! Back in SZN 1 Ep. 4, I brought my bestie on to talk about what it’s like to have a real and true friend in Christ. Leaning into SZN 2, I phoned in my big sis Stephanie aka @_stephrenee_ and founder of @unveilyourcrown, to explain why we sometimes value good vibes over godly vibes. Is one greater than the other? Can a connection have both? No matter if it’s a romantic relationship or a long-lasting friendship, how do we weed out the people that are worth being in relationship with? One thing: Spiritual Discernment. Listen now! 

📖: Matthew 12:33 

“A tree is identified by its fruit. If a tree is good, its fruit will be good. If a tree is bad, its fruit will be bad.”

We’ve all been guilty of making God out to be some genie who conforms to our own agenda. Oh, the moments when we forget we’re on borrowed time! We can also get caught up in only praising God, AFTER he comes through. NO judgement though! We can ask for anything in Jesus’ name, but, there’s a belief out there that if God is not going to do exactly what we want, in an exact moment, is the word of God false and is our request now null and void? Definitely NOT! No matter what you are having faith for right now, this episode is meant to show you that at every stage of the process, having faith is so worth it.

WE’RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SZN Y’ALL!😀🎉

Intermission. Impromptu. Unplanned. This is me embracing not having a plan for this week’s episode and it being okay, pauses and all. Just Jesus + vibes.

An opportunity sometimes look so perfect, we think: “This must be God!,” but how can we really tell? It’s one thing to get an opportunity but, it’s another when God calls us to a position or path. What an honor to have my Bishop on this episode to give us King’s Kids, some wisdom on obedience, opportunities, and dreamers. In sharing just one of his testimonies, our conversation delved into the this generation’s opportunistic nature and how it relates to our individual faith walks. You can dream BIG AND walk in the purpose God has called you to. So, whether you’re stepping into a new season, career, or just know you want to have a heart that pleases God…you’re gonna want to hear this one.

Do you talk to yourself? You’re not crazy if you do. But, what kind of things are you saying? Are you building yourself up or tearing yourself down? How we talk to ourselves and others is a direct reflection of how we’re talking to God.. or if we’re talking to him at all. We always want our speech to project Jesus’ character but sometimes we get careless with our words and don’t end up in the best situations. I had a convo with the lovely, Zipporah Baldwin aka @zipporahmarie who uses words inspired by God to uplift young women in Christ through her non-profit ministry, Everyday Esther. She uncovers how powerful our words are (they can move mountains!), so press play to find out just how much words can WORK!

The truth is, you’re not alone. But, you might still feel pretty lonely. So, which voice in your head do you believe? A life seeking after God and his purpose for you, doesn’t always have friends attached to it. So, will it be just you and God forever? We’ll unpack this with Jasmine Kromah aka the host of @letsbrunchpod, who just came off a podcast series that revealed some amazing revelations about this very topic in her own life. We also chat about the importance of not just reading the word, but dissecting it. Jasmine uses her instagram stories to give a small daily dose of wisdom from the word. It’s a sure way to change the focus from feeling alone to connecting with the one who’s been there from the start. Click to hear our convo.

📖: 2 Corinthians 4:17

"For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!"

We're FINALLY kicking off SZN 2🎉 

We finally reach this point where we’re all in with God, shaken off old habits, changed our walk and talk yet… people are still holding on to this old version of you. What do you do when people don’t know how to interact with the ‘you’ that doesn’t live a certain way anymore? The good news is you do not have to be attached to that old life or anyone who knows you lived it. We’ve been made new in Christ but, how do we practically make sure we don’t get intimidated by others’ reactions to our new lives in Christ? Press play to talk about it.

p.s. Y’all I’m trying to start off the season RAW which means, a little less editing which also means more pauses, stutters, and mess-ups! Gotta love being a human😭 This is to a transparent & unfiltered season!

What do you do when getting closer to God and further in your faith, feels like it causes people to walk out of your life? When you step away from one way of life and into the one God has for you, this can be a very real issue. One day you might have a circle of good friends the next they are wiped away from your life. You might wonder whether or not it was your fault? Or will you ever find a good group again? This situation isn’t too tough for God and the answers are found right in his word. 

📖: 1 Peter 4:4 (fo fo)

"Of course, your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So they slander you."

The ones that have you blastin’ Drake’s “Views” album in your headphones at 1 AM. Yea, those feelings. Why is it that we sometimes don’t know how to properly communicate them? Why do we feel the need to unload all of our emotions on social media? Subtweeting? Why would we would rather take a temporary fix to our feelings than deal with them head on? The hole we need filled from our past hurt and misunderstood feelings is only found in Christ. In this episode, we will unpack how and why culture handles emotions in this way and how we can move healthier in them. God is our refuge and he cares more about your feelings than anyone else does.

📖: 1 John 3:20

"Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything."
