  • Have You Spoken to Yourself Lately? Training the Inner Voice

    Send a text

    We all have an inner dialogue.
     But how often do we lead it?

    In this episode of Think Again & Be, we explore the biblical practice of speaking to the soul—training the inner voice to align with truth, faith, and joy rather than fear, anxiety, or circumstance.

    Building on the previous episode Thanksgiving by Faith, this conversation looks at how faith is voice-activated, how joy is cultivated from the inside out, and why Scripture repeatedly shows God’s people talking to themselves before they speak to the world.

    From David encouraging himself in the Lord, to Jeremiah finding hope in the darkest moment, to Habakkuk choosing joy before the harvest, we see that transformation often begins with rightful self-talk.

    This episode is an invitation to reclaim your inner voice—
     to speak faith, remember truth, and create an atmosphere of joy that sustains life.

    Scriptures Referenced

    • Psalm 42:5; 43:5
    • Lamentations 3:24
    • 1 Samuel 30:6
    • Habakkuk 3:16–19
    • Psalm 91:2
    • Joel 3:10
    • Philemon 1:6–7

    Key Themes

    • Faith is voice-activated
    • Speaking to the soul
    • Joy as an atmosphere, not a mood
    • Anxiety is not your identity
    • Training the inner voice
    • Thanksgiving, praise, and joy as a cycle

  • Thanksgiving by Faith: Why Praise Comes Before the Breakthrough

    Send a text

    What if thanksgiving isn’t just a response to what God has done—but an act of faith for what He has promised?

    In this episode, we explore thanksgiving as the highest expression of faith—praise offered before evidence appears, joy chosen before circumstances change.

    In this episode, we reflect on:

    • Why thanksgiving leads to praise—and praise leads to joy
    • The joy cycle: Thanksgiving → Praise → Rejoicing
    • The difference between thanking God for what has happened vs. thanking Him by faith
    • Why praise in advance doesn’t deny feelings—but transcends them
    • Biblical examples of faith-filled thanksgiving, including Jesus Himself
    • How gratitude shifts your perspective, guards your peace, and opens your heart to God’s increase

    Even when the fig tree doesn’t blossom…

    Even when the harvest hasn’t appeared…

    Faith says: “Yet I will rejoice.”


    This message is an invitation to ask yourself:

    What would change if I thanked God before the harvest?


    And to declare with confidence:

    “This time next year — I’ll testify.”


    Themes:
    Faith • Thanksgiving • Praise • Joy • Mind Shifts  • Trusting God • Hope

    Scriptures referenced:
    Psalm 136:1–4
    Hebrews 11:1–3
    Joel 1:12
    Habakkuk 3:17–19
    Psalm 67:5–6
    Philippians 4:6–9

  • A Case for Hope - Reclaiming Hope with Imagination Strategies

    Send a text

    In this episode, "A Case for  Hope - Reclaiming Hope with Imagination Strategies,"  I invite you into a collision with a more intricate revelation of a confident expectation of good. Explore the revelation truth that will inspire and awaken hope and resilience in you. Get empowered with strategies that combat fear, and renew your true joy and confidence. Learn how to navigate the duality of hope for the eternal and the now; and how you can be in great company with other heroes of faith.

    It's the why behind my call to "get your hopes up" and the mission behind my lifestyle brand, Tribal Marks. I'm forever intrigued by the nature of identity which in essence defines your image. Consider this  shared root word “image” with the word imagination, and imagination - the bedrock of hope. Because true hope has the power to create mind-shifts that paint a vivid picture in your heart. And a vivid picture gives your life’s motion a destination to actualize. But identity needs security, and hope breeds security.
