The Vanika Lewis Show

In every season of our lives we have assignments to complete and positions to fill. Sometimes it’s wife, sometimes it’s boss, sometimes it’s mom, sister, daughter and even servant. Each of these positions have an assignment attached to them. When we understand the assignment, the structure and order of each of them it is then that we understand the power that lays in each one. In this episode, we will discuss understanding the power of positions and how you can assess them in each area of your life.

Have you ever felt like things weren’t bad but they weren’t going the way they should be either? Often, those are the times when we need to take a purposeful pause.

Intercessary prayer is a vital weapon that we need to use during our faith walk. During this episode I’ll explain why.

Facing your secret struggles.

It’s time to get unstuck and today I’m extending a branch of wisdom and encouragement to help you out. Take a listen and if this blesses you share it with a friend.

Are you showing up for yourself?

It’s time....

Are you in need this season, but letting pride get in the way of asking for help? If yes, this episode is for you. 

I’m coming back with a message that I strongly believe in, spending money and circulating the dollar within the black community. I want to tell you why this is important and what you can do to support this!

In this episode I want to talk to you about how you can position yourself to be seen. If you can relate to any of the following then you absolutely need to tune into this episode:  You feel lonely- no matter how many events you go to, or often you leave the house you seem to feel alone.  You don't feel valued- you don't feel that people recognize or appreciate your gifts and talents.  You don't feel important- your birthday isn't acknowledged, you aren't recognized for accomplishments and you are unnoticed. These are real and it's time for us to talk about it as we study one of my favorite passages in the Word. Open up your bible to Luke 19 and let's discuss how we can learn to Step Out from the story of Zacchaeus. www.vanikalewis.com IG @vanikalewis FB at Vanika "Lady V" Lewis

Everyone can’t have access to you; let alone to your resources, relationships and sensitive places of life. Why? Because some people genuinely do not have your best interest at heart. For this reason it is important to be mindful of when and who you give access to. In this episode we’ll discuss access and an example of one moment of granted access that I regret. www.vanikalewis.com IG @prettynpurposed    FB Pretty N' Purposed  FB at Vanika "Lady V" Lewis

You are your greatest asset, that means you need to invest in yourself. The greatest success stories were produced because people recognized the power of what they bring to the table and then they invested in themselves.

Love is a word that is used in our society to reflect acceptance and freedom, but the true meaning of Love has nothing to do with how people treat us and everything to do with how we treat others! According to 1 Corinthians 13, Love is the greatest commandment of all and it requires us to be patient, kind, forgiving and graceful. When we learn to lead a life of love, the biblical way, we learn to experience life the way God desires us to. In this episode, I want you to know the true meaning of love and what it should look like in your life!  Let's talk about it!
