Do The Hard Stuff...
Life comes with its challenges. Some are easy, some...not so much. Regardless, they will stretch you. They will pull you out of your comfort zone. They will definitely change you. What makes this process difficult...is experiencing it alone. Strive to include people in your life so that you can...

TGOS-Episode 143-Obedience Comes With a Cost...
"Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you." -Genesis 22: 1-2 Such a tricky…

TGOS-Episode 140-God Is In the Boat
Whether it's rocking...or not, God is present. He's aware of the storm. He's aware of its effects on you and those around you. He not only has the solution, He IS the solution. Trust in His presence, for if His words alone can cease the chaos, His presence is just as powerful. You are not alone....
-
TGOS-Episode 139-It's Not You, It's Him
Sometimes, we get so caught up in our own capabilities that we assume things can get accomplished ONLY through us. That is so far from the truth. It is through Christ that all things are possible. So, when you find yourself feeling helpless, remember that it's not up to you, but Him, for you can…

TGOS-Episode 138-Come Close
You may have ears to hear, but are you listening? It's time we place ourselves in position of receiving that which we need from God because He's the same yesterday, today and forever more. He doesn't need to change. That's our responsibility.
-
TGOS-Episode 137-Bro, Where You Been?
It's been awhile since I've posted an episode. Much has been going on internally. Despite the discomfort, God is still present. He's still God. He's the God of my mother, my father, and my wife. He will never change. He always fulfils. He always satisfies.
-

-
TGOS-Episode 135-#IMSORRY
I apologize if I've offended you in any way. I apologize if what I've said or done triggered a sharp emotion. I apologize from the depths of my heart. Your feelings should be acknowledged. You matter like everyone else.
-
TGOS-Episode 134-"Oops" Says God Never
God never makes mistakes, specifically when we feel we do. God uses everything we have done, do, and will do. He is strategic. He is intentional. He is graceful and merciful. Everything (in His eyes) is salvageable, even the dirty stuff. Most importantly, you are not a mistake, but a conduit for...

TGOS-Episode 132-Parents and Children
Honor your Father and Mother. Parents, do not provoke your children into anger based on how badly you treat them. It's a two-way street, not one...and that's biblical! Let's strive to honor and respect God...by respecting the family unit.

TGOS-Episode 128-Say Something!
Genesis 3 illustrates "The Fall" of man where Adam and Eve chose to partake of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Though Satan confronted Eve specifically, it was Adam's responsibility to step up and claim God's truth. He didn't , thus, initiating our struggle with sin--the ultimate…

TGOS-Episode 127-Good Love
What is good love? Is it what you want it to be...need to be...or what it should be? It depends on what we use to measure it. If we use our emotions, we will be misinformed. If we use our experience, we will be bias. If we use our spirit to seek that which never disappoints, never seeks to harm…

TGOS-Episode 126-A Good Friend Is Hard to Lose

TGOS-Episode 122-Know The Truth
When it comes to receiving information, one should follow three rules: Listen Discern Reject Satan is good at facts, but he's worse at telling the entire truth. Listen to the one who not only speaks truth, but lives it and embodies it. If Satan is bold enough to tempt The Son of God, he will...

TGOS-Episode 121-Running Out Of Time
Our callings come in many forms. It can be as subtle as a job opening across town or a request for your services in another part of the world. The question is will you answer it? If you believe in God, it'll be best to look for His face and not His hand, focusing on what He wants to do through…

TGOS-Episode 120-Honor Thy Parents in Reverence of God
We didn't choose our parents. We didn't choose how they would raise us as kids. We didn't choose how they would interact with us during life's most unexpected situations. What we can choose is how we value the relationship we have with them now. This can be done by setting healthy boundaries and...
-
TGOS-Episode 119-Don't Blame Green for Being Emerald
We live in a society where we compare lives and experiences, wanting what the other has and assuming it's better than the life we're living. We all have the potential to be great individuals. The question is what are we doing with what we have? Are we making the best of it? Our quality of effort...

TGOS-Episode 117-Alya
Younger generations don't need us to speak for them. They can do that themselves...if we take the time to listen. All we have to do is ask questions and let them answer if we want to know where they've been , where they are, and where they plan to go. Check out the latest episode of The Glory in...
-
TGOS-Episode 116-The Shaking Washing Machine
So, what is your Manna and Quail (Exodus 16:1-8)? Where you are or may be isn't where you will be forever. You are not where you use to be, yet not located where you plan to go. Be content with the transition, for what you have now is just enough to get you where you're destined to be!
-
TGOS-Episode 115-Stop Being Wrong About Yourself
We all live by a certain narrative. Many of us assume we are always the hero, the villain, or someone in constant need of saving. We may feel we have much to offer and no one wants it...or someone desires something from us we're not fit to give. It's time to start telling a story worth believing...
