Thu, 15 Jun 2023 18:00:00 -0400

Do you feel as if life is just happening too fast? Things are spinning a little swiftly for you and it's almost as if you're about to lose your footing? Friend, you are not alone I have been right there in the same spot! I had to STOP and START AGAIN from a better headspace. I had to recognize that discouragement had crept in and I was operating on fumes, my mental and emotional tank was only one quarter of the way full. I was spiraling down quickly and I didn't even recognize it until it was almost too late. I had almost threw in the towel and completely abandoned my dreams. Listen to this podcast and allow it to minister to you. It's NEVER too late to START OVER from a better spot!

Permission Slip (I am OVER My Flesh)

Thu, 01 Jun 2023 08:00:00 -0400

In this episode I speak about my desire to do good, but evil always being present.. Have you sinned since you've been a follower of Christ? So have I, several times. I am OVER my sinful nature! But, the only way to properly overcome this nature is to embrace my humanity and realize that perfection on this side of heaven will not be obtained. I also realized in this walk with Christ that I cannot continue to feed my carnal nature and expect to always be successful in following after God's will for my life. I hope my transparency blesses your life.

If I Could Time Travel

Thu, 18 May 2023 08:00:00 -0400

Am I the only person who once upon a time thought about how amazing and beneficial it would be to have the ability to time travel? Usually when we think about having the ability to time travel, we desire to either go BACK to "fix", do, or prevent something and/or we would like to jump forward to see what the future holds. I strongly believe if we were to tinker with our past and or futures, we would regret it in the long run. Not only that, but we would throw our lives completely off track, and we would totally MISS divine appointments we were destined to make. The amazing thing about TODAY is we all have the choice to GROW, to make a great decision in REALTIME and to become a higher version of ourselves. We cannot live in yesterday, regretting and operating in the thinking pattern of "shoulda, woulda, coulda. I hope this episode blesses your life.

Guard Your Heart and Keep The Peace

Thu, 04 May 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Are you experiencing inner peace right now in your life? If not, what is it contributed to? Is it something to do with yourslef, or is it associated with who you've allowed to enter into your intimate spaces of life? It is time that we protect our lives just as diligently as we protect our homes. Our homes are secured with locks, alarms, fences and gates. Some of us even have weapons to protect us from potential perpetrators, but we don't hold the same level of care when it comes to the boundaries that should exist regarding our intimate space and heart. Today's episode is designed to encourage us to evaluate who and what we are allowing in our hearts. Be blessed!

On tonight's episode we have a very special guest by the name of Hope Lee. Eight years ago, Hope got a phone call at about 4 o'clock in the morning with some devastating news; her baby boy Nicholas died suddenly from a severe asthma attack.

Listen in as Hope shares with us the raw truth about her process of being angry with God and overcoming one of the darkest times of her life. I also share an original piece written especially for Hope and Nicholas from I've Got a River, A Collection of Poetry, I pray that a parent who is struggling with the loss of a child will find comfort, peace and validation while listening to this episode!

Conversation With God

Wed, 13 Oct 2021 18:00:00 -0400

Are you in a relationship right now? Have you ever prayed about your relationship? If you have prayed, what did God say to you about your relationship? If you haven't, are you afraid to ask God about it or do you believe it's not that important to God? If you are afraid to ask God about them, it is probably because you already know that the person you are with is NOT God's choice for your life. I pray that you would pray and ask God if who you are with is His will for your life. If they are not, I pray that you would be brave enough to leave them alone. It might be a little hard to do, but God's will over your life is PERFECT and it will produce the BEST results for you and many of the people around you. Be blessed my friend!

Bride of Christ

Wed, 06 Oct 2021 18:00:00 -0400

The Church universal is known as the Bride of Christ, God is married to us! God loves us in so many different ways. Today we talk about the intimate love God has for us from the standpoint of our human understanding of a husband. But God is the perfect husband, the husband that does not wait for you to get your credit straight before He says I do! He doesn't wait for you to lose the weight to get in the wedding dress before He say's I do. God, at the foundation of the world decided that His believers were going to be His bride, so He set up provision for us through Christ to solidify the union! Enjoy knowing that God is MARRIED to you no matter what! You are HIS through CHRIST!

Send Me

Wed, 29 Sep 2021 19:00:00 -0400

Many believers in Christ ask God to "use us for His glory", but I am not sure if we understand what we are actually asking God to do in being "used". The bible is very clear that in order to reign with Christ, we have to first suffer with Him. Maybe not just as He suffered, but there is a level of sacrifice and suffering that produces a maturity and humility in us that MUST be present before we are sent. Send me is a prayer conversation God and I had about the call on my life. Has God sent you? Okay... What has died, is dying or needs to die BEFORE He sends you?

You Are Chosen

Do you know that God has chosen you to be used for His glory? No matter how you see yourself, or how many mistakes you've made, you are CHOSEN! Listen to this episode and be encouraged to move forward KNOWING that you are CHOSEN!

Now Faith!

Thu, 26 Aug 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Faith is our currency for connecting to heaven and everything God has for us. The bible tells us, without faith it is impossible to please God. If we don't have a true belief in God, how can we pray to God expecting something in return? The bible also says that a double minded man or woman should not expect to receive anything from God. Let's stop being double minded, having faith in stuff and in God at the same time. No! That person will never receive anything from God, but the one who has faith as small as a mustard seed can EXPECT to receive from heaven! How can faith that is almost invisible move heaven? It is not the size of the faith, but the object of the faith, GOD! When our faith is in an undying, every living and eternal GOOD GOD, we can EXPECT God to move on our behalf because we trust Him. Faith produces trust! Enjoy this broadcast today, and allow your faith to be charged as you listen. GOD BLESS YOU!

I hope after you listen to tonight's podcast, I pray that it inspires you ro seek the Lord to find out what gifts you have been endowed with to impact the world around you! You are special beyond compare! Be Blessed!
