Ellivate

We've seen the rise and fall of men in the public eye and what they've built over the years.  From former president Bill Clinton, comedian and actor Bill Cosby, RnB superstar R. Kelly, pastors in the church and now Hip-Hop Mogul P. Diddy.  All of these men, including those I've known personally, I've seen what they've built fall because of not having self control.  In this week's episode I dive into this and how we as men must respect ourselves, our bodies, and our families and SAY NO to temptation and seek the Lord for help.Reign: My Story & How To Live Victoriously Over Sexual Immorality by Damien Ellisonhttps://www.amazon.com/Reign-Story-Victoriously-Sexual-Immorality-ebook/dp/B09K1Z52MQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=1FE55WLACH4ZL&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HcA52BDHiiRzTntMdDV9Ug.9fCmxU9tDBfrsA9P6MbPPh_SrXEyTqRrBJ3Fki6PJA4&dib_tag=se&keywords=reign+damien+ellison&qid=1752139126&sprefix=%2Caps%2C53&sr=8-1YouTube: @UndignifiedSoundDE Instagram: Damien Ellison Facebook: Damien Ellison TikTok: @artofdame

In this week's episode, we speak about what we are pursuing, and what that looks like on this Christian journey.  After you put the kids down for bed, or the microphone down from preaching and singing: who or what is your pursuit?  Whether you're a popular preacher or trash man, our pursuit should always be Jesus.  Our goal should be to spend time with Him, as we navigate this thing called life. Take a listen, as we dive into how do pursue the Lord more!Scripture Reference: Isaiah 59:2-3 ESV 1 Timothy 3:5Matthew 4:19James 4:8YouTube: @UndignifiedSoundDE Instagram: Damien Ellison Facebook: Damien Ellison TikTok: @artofdame

Beauty can be seen in many gifts through what people create.  We can see beauty through an orator, food, art, music, architecture, cinematography, photography and fashion.  The Creator has given everyone a gift, but we have to remember to not use that gift and its beauty of be prideful.  This week we discuss gifts, their beauty and protecting ourselves from pride by remaining humble.Scripture References: James 4:10Ezekiel 28:17Proverbs 15:25Podcast Reference:J.

This week, I come in a little hot and heavy, discussing what I call the bible of public opinion in our lives, especially on social media.  In this age of social media and content creation, people post videos, pictures, & vlogs based on their lives.  Celebrities, preachers, and us regular folk post as were led by our brilliant minds.  If someone does not like what is posted, we form an opinion and type away.  Some positive, some negative.  Do we know in real life, who we comment on though?  I look in depth on this subject and how we can ELLIVATE our opinions of others.YouTube: @UndignifiedSoundDE Instagram: Damien Ellison Facebook: Damien Ellison TikTok: @artofdame

This week, we discuss celebrating our achievements.  Life is too short to not celebrate the hard work we've done.  We ought to stop and enjoy major accomplishments.  Take a listen and go celebrate your hard work, your birthday, that promotion, the fact that you survived tough times or that degree!YouTube: @UndignifiedSoundDE Instagram: Damien Ellison Facebook: Damien Ellison TikTok: @artofdame

This week on Episode 2 of Ellivate, we dive into trusting the Lord.  It's easy to trust in the leader of a nation, a job, professional experience and charisma but harder to trust in the One who created us.  Here we discuss putting our hope in the Lord and not in the things of this life.  I insert personal stories of how I've trusted God over the years and continue to do so because of what He's done in my life.  As always, there are Scripture references available in this episode that will help us navigate through trusting the Lord and what that really means.YouTube: @UndignifiedSoundDE Instagram: Damien Ellison Facebook: Damien Ellison TikTok: @artofdame
