In this episode of One Day at a Time with Paul A. Henderson, my wife, Kierra, joins me, and we open up about our journey from Richmond, Virginia to Detroit, Michigan—and how gratitude carried us through one of the most challenging seasons of our lives.We talk honestly about what it was like stepping into a new city, becoming new homeowners, and then immediately being met with one hit after another: plumbing disasters, HVAC breakdowns, gas leaks, and the kind of unexpected issues that make you look at each other like, “Lord… really?”But in the middle of all that chaos, something powerful happened.We learned the strength of community.We learned the power of leaning on our faith.And we discovered how gratitude—real, intentional gratitude—can shift your mindset when everything around you feels overwhelming.This conversation is authentic, unfiltered, and full of the lessons we didn’t expect to learn. If you’re navigating a tough season, or you’ve ever wondered how to find gratitude when life is throwing its best punches, this episode is for you.Let’s lock in with gratitude —one day at a time..#newpodcast #speaker #author #overcomingobstacles #overcomingadversity #overcomingchallenges #growthmindset #stayfocused #onedayatatime  #navigatingsetbacks #layoffs #Faith #thepowerofaseed #divinepurpose #frustration #resilience #gratitude #Thanksgiving #Thanksgiving2025Follow Kierra Henderson on Instagram: Beloved MamaFollow Paul A.

Fam, in this episode of One Day at a Time with Paul A. Henderson, I’m diving into a truth that hit me hard as a husband, a father, and educator: Children are imitators. That is why we must live lives worth imitatingIn this conversation, I unpack how the little eyes watching us often learn more from our actions than our words. Our children, our students, and even the young people connected to us are constantly picking up cues from how we handle pressure, how we speak to others, and how we walk out our values day to day.This episode is an encouragement and a challenge to all of us:If we want to raise kids who lead with character, confidence, and purpose, then we must model what we want them to become.If you’ve ever wondered how to make a deeper impact in the next generation, or how to lead your home with intention, this episode is for you.Let’s lock in and grow — one day at a time.#newpodcast #speaker #author #overcomingobstacles #overcomingadversity #overcomingchallenges #growthmindset #stayfocused #onedayatatime  #navigatingsetbacks #layoffs #Faith #thepowerofaseed #divinepurpose #frustration #resilience Follow Paul A.

In this episode of the One Day at a Time With Paul A. Henderson, I’m diving into a topic that hits close to home — frustration and how it can quietly block us from walking in our purpose.I’ve been there. I know what it feels like to lose a job, to feel stuck, and to wrestle with questions like, “God, what’s next for me?” But I also know that when we evict frustration, we make space for faith, growth, and clarity toward our purpose.In this conversation, I share some of my personal experiences and the lessons I’ve learned about taking small steps toward purpose — even when life feels uncertain. We’ll also look at the Apostle Paul’s journey and how he turned moments of frustration into opportunities for growth and generational impact.If you’ve been feeling stuck or weighed down by life’s disappointments, this episode will encourage you to release what’s holding you back and refocus on God's design for your life.One day at a time, let’s make room for purpose.#newpodcast #speaker #author #overcomingobstacles #overcomingadversity #overcomingchallenges #growthmindset #stayfocused #onedayatatime  #navigatingsetbacks #layoffs #Faith #thepowerofaseed #divinepurpose #frustration #resilience Follow Paul A.

In this episode, we're discussing the themes of purpose and value in life, emphasizing that every individual has inherent worth and a unique purpose. We'll take a look at a quote from my book, Slave No More: Conquering the Master Within:"Take baby steps toward your vision. When recovering from mistakes, life failures, or circumstances beyond your control, celebrate the small victories. While they may seem insigificant, don't underestimate their role in helping you achieve your purpose."I'm also encouraging listeners to take small steps towards discovering and fulfilling their purpose, sharing insights from my own experiences and referencing the teachings of Myles Munroe. The conversation highlights the importance of recognizing one's value to effectively pursue their purpose, while also addressing the potential for misuse when purpose is not understood. We conclude with a motivational message, urging listeners to embrace their journey of discovering their purpose, one day at a time.Let’s dive in. 🎧#newpodcast #speaker #author #overcomingobstacles #overcomingadversity #overcomingchallenges #growthmindset #stayfocused #onedayatatime  #navigatingsetbacks #layoffs #Faith #thepowerofaseed #divinepurposeFollow Paul A.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the journey of rediscovering the value within—no matter what your past looks like.I’ll share a thought from my book Slave No More: Conquering the Master Within, where I wrote:“Move on from seeing your life as damaged goods and learn to find the value that your life still holds. The scars from your past do not determine the value of your life.”Too often, we allow pain, shame, or past mistakes to convince us that we’re beyond repair. But the truth is—your scars tell a story of survival, not disqualification. God can take what’s been broken and transform it into something beautiful, something purposeful. But it starts with us understanding and believing that our lives still have value.If you’ve ever felt like your value has been diminished by what you’ve been through, this conversation will remind you that you’re still chosen, still worthy, and still full of purpose.It’s time to stop seeing yourself as damaged—and start walking in your divine design.Let’s dive in. 🎧#newpodcast #speaker #author #overcomingobstacles #overcomingadversity #overcomingchallenges #growthmindset #stayfocused #onedayatatime  #navigatingsetbacks #layoffs #Faith #thepowerofaseed #divinepurposeFollow Paul A.
