Episodes

  1. Ep 27: I'm Out of Control!

    We do so many things in life to try to maintain control of our circumstances, surroundings, and even other people. But the truth is we were/are never in complete control. Today, I share some personal stories that help me understand I will never be omniscient, omnipresent, and sovereign...only God...

  2. Ep 26: Pivot!

    In basketball, when facing an opponent, an important skill used by the player is found in the art of pivoting. Today, I use the idea of this skill in combination with 1 Corinthians 10:13 to enlightened on how we should handle our trials and tribulations. "The temptations in your life are no...

  3. Ep 25: Mental Health Awareness-The 'Strong' Friend

    On this special episode, I talk to you about the 'strong' friend in acknowledgment of Mental Health Awareness Month (May). A 'strong' friend is typically the person who checks in on others; meanwhile, seeming to have it altogether regarding their own life. Through my personal story and that of...

  4. Ep 24: Just Pray about IT!

    Oftentimes, we can feel forsaken by God and angry that our prayers were not answered in the way that we desired. Then, thoughts creep in..."Why pray? Is He even listening?" And these overwhelming thoughts coupled with our hurt cause our prayers to become mute and sometimes even non-existent....

  5. Ep 23: Where is the Love?

    On this episode, I share the thorn that has remained in my flesh since losing my daughter in 2014. I encourage everyone to slow down from the rat race of life and take time to endearingly SPEAK LOVE and genuinely Show LOVE. 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 (ESV) reminds us that "Love is patient, love is…

  6. Ep 22: What are you guarding?

    When life does not go as planned, we often find ourselves sitting in the loss...stuck and guarded. In order to make a change, we have to be willing to have faith and move forward.

  7. Ep 21: Speak Life & Eat Its Fruits!

    Power of life and death are tongue! Say What??? You mean what I say has power over my life. On this episode, I use Proverbs 18:21 and Numbers 13-14 to share why we should watch what we say over ourselves, our family, and our circumstances. Bottomline, watch what you say it may come to true one day.

  8. Ep 20: Let Go and Move On!

    Is letting go the same as forgetting? What should I do to move on? This episode uses Philippians 3:13-14 to encourage your way forward by looking briefly at the life of Apostle Paul.

  9. Ep 19: Are you the potato, egg, or coffee bean?

    Everywhere we turn there seems to be some calamity, famine, disease, war. Even if we attempt to shield ourselves, we cannot escape the darkness of life. In the face of adversity, do you become the potato, egg, or coffee beans? How do you respond and react?

  10. Ep 18: Fix YOUR Focus!

    Life is so unpredictable. We make plans, but sometimes our plans go awry. And we find ourselves in the midst of a storm. Let's take note from Peter in Matthew 14, and learn to fix our focus and step out on faith.

  11. Ep 17: F.E.A.R. Failures Eventually Actualize Realizations

    When you have experienced a loss, it is hard to see the purpose in the pain. Many times you may think 'I failed, I can't do this again'. Oftentimes we shrink back from the chance to move forward in life...to try new things, to be courageous and bold. We have to start looking at the loss...

  12. Ep 16: F.E.A.R. False Evidence Appearing Real

    Have you ever been at your wits end? You are depleted. You don't have the energy nor the resources to meet the demands of life. Coupling that with the fact you are grieving creates a recipe for fear of your tomorrows and loss of hope. But what you see at face value is really not what is to be…

  13. Ep 15: F.E.A.R. Face Everything And Rise!

  14. Ep 14: More Love

    As we end the recognition of Black History Month, I encourage everyone to reach across the aisle. We cannot end racism and marginalizations alone nor leave the job to others. We must learn to show compassion, empathy, and love toward our brothers and sisters. It is going to take all of us to heal...

  15. Ep 13: Fighter

    When grief throws a punch it knocks you out. The good news is there are ways to block and counterpunch so you can stand on your feet again. This week our fighter is Ruth. We use her story to shed light on how to fight your way into a promising future. NOTE: Read the chapter Ruth in the bible for...

  16. Ep 12: Bitter 2 Better

    Happy Valentine's Day! But today is not so "Happy" for everyone. It's hard to be happy when you're grieving the loss of someone or something. We often look at all that is going on with bitterness, fighting off any chance of being happy. Today I use the story of Naomi to illustrate how to go from...
