Growth Purposes Only

God is rebuilding you not resetting you. He is considering everything about you to expand your capacity for His kingdom. 

Aligning with God’s plan requires some uncomfortablilty and dependency on the Lord. 

This EP I dive into things God has shown me as I profess that I am a generational curse breaker. It’s not a catchy hashtag but a journey of pruning and replanting God’s intentions for man on earth.

Hey GPO family! It’s been a while. During this quiet season, God has been doing some deep work in me—revealing an idol that had quietly taken hold in my life and teaching me what it truly means to surrender it.

Welcome back to Growth Purposes Only Podcast with Princess Sarafina! In today's episode, we explore the profound topic of peace, specifically the peace that comes from Christ, and not from worldly sources. Princess Sarafina shares personal experiences of being a control freak and learning to surrender situations to Christ for true peace. She recounts a transformative period of having her father live with her, which brought up childhood wounds and challenged her to love him amidst his flaws. This experience taught her to set boundaries, heal, and depend on God’s plan. Join us for an honest and heartfelt discussion on navigating life's tensions and transitions with faith and the peace that surpasses all understanding.

In this episode, I'm joined by Melissa from Santana Says as we talk about the power of faith and therapy in the healing journey. We dive into what it truly means that "faith without works is dead" and our responsibility to co-labor with God for our mental wellness.

Our Faith grows when we are obedient to the voice of The Lord.

With God's love also comes provision and protection.

We inherit generational curses unknowingly and we live in sins that we can overcome with the leadership of God.

Larecia and I talk about the impact of secular music on ourselves and the next generation. What we listen to is who we begin to become.

I reached another breaking period in my walk which was unfamiliar to me beforehand. I now recognize these periods as ways to deepen my relationship with God.
