10. LaThelma Yenn-Batah & All the Things... Purpose chases you, on being a black, female, newbie Pastor, unfreezing our imaginations, and mentorship.

This is a series of IGLive episodes where I, Michaela Birdyshaw (@myjoycoach), share with you some of my favorite people! You will meet a diverse group of my friends, family, leaders, colleagues, motivators, and all the things! We will dive into how they use their gifts, their gems, their passions to influence the world around them! Some moments in life will never be forgotten. Meeting Pastor LaThelma Yenn-Batah (@Queen_Thelly) at the Easter Service at Flemington Baptist Church in New Jersey is precisely one of those moments. In an instant, I was intrigued and downright smitten, and I believe you will be too when you tune into & All the Things. Together we discuss what it means to unfreeze our imaginations and remember that God is unpredictable, so we must stay curious! Listen in as she paints her vision of unleashing people with their gifts and talents into the world to build the Kingdom God has called us to create. Her Takeaway: Go Find God. You will find yourself. Maya Angelou: Our Grandmothers
