Conversations with Chris

In this episode, we start the conversation concerning you and your assigned seat.

In this episode, we talk about the necessity for chosen people to sometimes run. All running isn't wrong. All wrong isn't out of rebellion or fear! Sometimes, not always, your future may require you to have the courage to get up and run instead of standing still and fighting. Let's look at some examples of "famous runners" and let them encourage us.

In this episode, we'll discuss how our natural and God-given instinct to run can actually hinder our growth and development. While running can save our lives, we must be careful that we don't attempt to escape the place(s) that God has designed to protect, prepare, and promote us.

In this episode, Christian chats about the importance of having and engaging in healthy "prophetic" conversations. Words shape lives, communities, and destinies. We must be careful and responsible of the words we release and the words that we hear.

As believers, we are saved... no questions about it. But I want to pose a question - although saved, are we free? Take a listen to this episode and let's have the conversation about being saved, but are we automatically free.

Scriptures: Judges 7:1-18 Zachariah 3:1-4   Believe it or not… Christians, Believers are not losers! Sometimes, not always, we go through things in life that cannot be avoided. We encounter losses and setbacks, that are not always attributed to man or our consequences. Gideon suffered lost and downsizing. David suffered loss and downsizing. Even Jesus encountered a downsizing before leaving the earth. The secret to winning on the next level is directly tied to your belief. Jesus spoke it directly in Mark 9:23. Believers cannot be losers! Even though we are living through a long and fiery season, let me prophesy over you that in 2022, God is removing us from the fire pit and we will become the catalyst for revival! You have been made the brand, the burning brand; and God is going to use you to make His mark in every culture and system that you encounter. Let revival fires fall, may you burn bright for God. And may His glory on you attract wealth and success that converts the masses to Him. Be blessed… You’re an Overcomer… You’re a Fire Starter!!!   Related Content: Mental Health books and training currently Half-priced from Christian T. Howell Sr. Click Here!

Scriptures: Luke 15:8-10 Believe it or not… Christians, Believers are not losers! Just ask the woman in the bible who had 10 coins and lost one of them. Although something slipped through her hands (was lost), she never took on the role or mentality of a loser. Just like her, it is not in our DNA nor pedigree to be or become a loser! Even though we are living in a season, a time in history unlike any other, what’s going on in our world, our economy, our healthcare system, nor our government can or should define us. All of us, that’s you and me, have experienced loses in every various of life. For some, it may be a lost job. For others, they have lost loved ones, money, or lifelong dreams. It doesn’t matter what you experienced a lost in, it does not qualify you to be identified as a loser. The good news is that Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.

An unhealthy you, leads to an unhealthy relationship. Not all soul ties are bad. Godly and healthy ties produce life, energy and health that trickle over into every relationship that we have. Ungodly and unhealthy ties connect us with people and things that are contrary to God’s plan and purpose. There are several ways that soul ties are formed, and we must become aware as we move forward in life.

An unhealthy you, leads to an unhealthy relationship. Too often, we place all of the emphasis and attention on the other person, or entity, in a relationship. Could you really be the one that needs to change? Are you the one who need to make some adjustments more than them? Have you become so fatigued or stressed during the pandemic that you’ve allowed yourself to lean on the other person a little too much? Or are too many people leaning on you? If so, this episode is for you! God created you to have relationships. The first relationship established was with man and his Creator. After that, He said that it is not good for man to be alone! God said that you and I need relationships – BUT in order to be healthy, you need a healthy relationship with Him and you need one with your SELF. Your ability to have healthy relationships is directly tied to your ability to have a healthy and harmonious relationship with your SELF. Your healthy relationship with God allows you to interact and relate to all of His other created beings in a productive and beneficial way. Knowing who you are to Him, how He feels about you, and His plans for you give you the healthy foundation needed to engage and interact with others. Every relationship is fed from another source – if He is not your source, it will be hard for you to relate to everyone else. After all, it’s all His creation. This may not sound theoretically correct but jump in and take a listen.

Is it really you? Are you really in the relationship this time? Do you often feel tired, frustrated, and fatigued in relationships that should refresh and recharge you? Maybe, just maybe, it is not the other person or entity this time – maybe it’s you in this season.  

Let’s break the golden rule of relationships… for once, relationships are all about YOU. There is an unspoken dimension that affects every relationship that you enter in to. Whether the relationship is with your spouse, your family, your place of employment, or with the community in which you live, the central being in all of these is YOU.

Silence can be so loud… or it can be so scary! Most of us are so accustomed to speaking until the thought of simply sitting in silence without a response can be intimidating and overwhelming. As powerful as words are, the absence of them are equally, if not more powerful. Silence can be a force used to create mystery, to allow anticipation to build, or even to stir deep introspection when used properly. On the other hand, it can be deployed to take control, to intimidate, or even to abuse its intended recipient. At the end of the day, silence sends a powerful message and the speaker AND the listener must learn how to navigate silent moments.

Have you ever realized that a person’s actions can betray their speech? Every relationship is built or torn down by the messages that we send. Communication is the hinge that all relationships hang on. It determines our levels of access, protection, provision, and even pain. Unfortunately, we often forget that at all times we are sending a message.  Communication is not just about the verbals, the things we release out of our mouths, it also includes the nonverbal communication that we use. Since everything turns according to our communication, we must learn to master the message we send to others. We must learn to build, and not tear down… to affirm and not discredit. Heaven and earth will reward us according to what we say, so we must learn to master our communication if we are going to have healthy relationships. www.christianthowell.com

The building block to every relationship, whether with an individual or organization, is communication. Communication is the hinge that all relationships hang on. It determines our levels of access, protection, provision, and even pain. Unfortunately, we often forget that at all times we are sending a message. Communication is not just about the verbals, the things we release out of our mouths, it also includes the nonverbal communication that we use. Since everything turns according to our communication, we must learn to master the message we send to others. We must learn to build, and not tear down… to affirm and not discredit. Heaven and earth will reward us according to what we say, so we must learn to master our communication if we are going to have healthy relationships. Some definitions of a relationship include the way in which two or more people or things are connected, an emotional attachment between individuals, and the state of being related or interrelated. All relationships require some sort of connection and survive and thrive based on the communication we feed it. In this season, God is allowing all of our relationships to be tested. The enemy is doing his job to ruin and sabotage Godly relationships, yet to make us hold on to unhealthy and damaging relationships. Let’s take the journey together and uncover… and unlock the key to having healthy relationships.

All of us, both you and I, are pre-wired and long to be in healthy relationships. Unfortunately, we haven’t had a good working definition for “relationships” so it is often hard to tell whether we are really in a relationship or not. Even worse, because “relationships” aren’t healthily defined, it’s hard to tell if we are in a healthy or unhealthy relationship. Some definitions of a relationship include the way in which two or more people or things are connected, an emotional attachment between individuals, and the state of being related or interrelated. All relationships require some sort of connection and are always based on how we relate to the other.   Healthy and productive or toxic and destructive, we all relate in one way or another. Every experience changes us… moves us closer or farther away from our destiny. Healthy relationships require vulnerability and transparency; without them, we are involved with a false personality that will inevitably disappoint or damage us. We must get healthier so that we can have better relationships and partnerships. In this season, God is allowing all of our relationships to be tested. The enemy is doing his job to ruin and sabotage Godly relationships, yet to make us hold on to unhealthy and damaging relationships. Let’s take the journey together and uncover… and unlock the key to having healthy relationships.

All relationships require some sort of connection and are always based on how we relate to the other. From the beginning of creation, God established that He was more than a Judge or King, He was identified as a Father and Creator. It doesn’t diminish the other roles that He’s identified as, but it indicates the priority and emphasis He places on those roles. In this season, God is allowing all of our relationships to be tested. The enemy is doing his job to ruin and sabotage Godly relationships. Let’s take the journey together and uncover… and unlock the key to having healthy relationships.

In your lifetime you’re probably going to be asked this a few thousand times. Or at least it seems like you are. The problem is, when a question becomes so common it tends to carry less meaning. We answer, “Fine” without thinking, an automatic response much like saying “Hello.” But are you fine? Really? Understanding and accepting who you are, your authentic self, is vital to being satisfied and successful in life. Mark 6:30-31 (KJV) records an interesting conversation. “And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.” Jesus, after hearing the good news about the success they were having advancing the Kingdom, had to instruct them to pause! He had to plainly tell them that they needed to sit down and rest… to take a moment for leisure and to eat. If Jesus had to remind the early apostle, surely He is still reminding us of this truth today. Let’s make sure that we know who we are so that we don’t wear ourselves out in an attempt to inquire from others or to persuade others to confirm who we think we are. We can serve, and still be selfless. We can do self-care and not become self-centered. We just need to be reminded that YOU AND I are more than enough – and we can rest in that truth.

Understanding and accepting who you are, your authentic self, is vital to being satisfied and successful in life. According to Genesis 1:26-27, you are made in the image and after the likeness of God. You are royalty, the offspring of a King. You have the same capacity and creativity as your Father, it’s in your DNA. Adam repeated the process, and you will produce greatness too! You must know who you are, before you try to do it. This episode will explore the importance of knowing who you are and being assured of who you are before attempting to do what you believe you should do. 

Will the real you please stand up? You are an absolutely amazing human created by God. In an attempt to be relevant and successful, it is possible to lose yourself while trying to gain everything else. Let’s spend some time together and discover who the real you is… unapologetically, approved, and affirmed… you!
