ELEVATED WAY☝️✝️💎📖

Levi’s been asking me to do a podcast with him, so i figured why not . in this recording you’ll see how bad my memory is… and how amazing his is, as he rattles off all 66 of the bible’s in order from the top of the dome! he also shares his favorite verse, bible story, and something he’s praying for . be blessed by this lil snippet of father n son

the last couple chapters of “Garden City” by John Mark comer, really hit some things on the head. He talked about the pursuit of identity n the pursuit of status….never ending accumulation of “stuff”. it’s almost like trying to build our own “tower of babel” if you will…. and possibly make a name for our self ? maybe for some, maybe not so much for others. Work is a great thing. It’s actually the...

My journey of faith has had more twists n turns than all theme parks combined. reading nehemiah 9 this morning reminded me of that… along with a similar feeling many ppl of faith experience . just sharing some of my story n testimony in this clip, along with GOD’s TRUTH and REALITIES. hopefully this recording encourages you and blesses you in some form or fashion.

just wanted to say i’m thankful for all of u. thankful for GODS MERCY in my life. thankful that GOD is not against us…. was reading roman’s 8:31, and it reminded my of brandon lakes “GOD IS NOT AGAINST ME”, probably one of my top 10 favorite songs of all time. yes, it’s that good. let the truth of the LYRICS, and the TRUTH in roman’s chapter 8 remind you that YOU ARE LOVED BY GOD, and HE IS FOR YO...

a chapter from “the Great omission” by Dallas Willard, sparked this recording. be blessed & be real , with yourself and the Almighty 🙏✝️💯

been too long since i’ve been on here. you’ve heard that before . just some words from the heart, and some words from “the Great Omission” by Dallas Willard. finally out the mud. back on the Rock, and got firm footing. all Glory to the GOD of REDEMPTION, JESUS CHRIST. be blessed world 🌍❤️🙏

Always love learning new hebrew words … and this word “Shamar” really shows the Heart of God. Enjoy, be blessed

just words from the heart this morning. be blessed

just a random tangent from the heart before bed. the words point to the answer for any negative thing in our life, no matter what it is, whether internal or external…. the answer is JESUS. i get it … cliche right ? but He truly is the GOD of all Encouragement (2nd corinthians 1:3). That same verse calls Him the Father of all COMPASSION. The Lord wants to uplift us all. HE has the ability and willi...

the PARABLE of the Prodigal Son is famous for revealing the AMAZING LOVE AND COMPASSION OF GOD for all of us. a parallel of a people who have gone astray and seeked for life away from HOME. only to end up at a dead end. But this parable also reveals and exploits the negative mindset and prideful heart of the elder brother. The one who didn’t have any compassion. the One who was Self righteous. it’...

this morning I just kept picturing GOD like a fire after trekking thru the cold dangerous wilderness. a place to warm ya up if u will… but then i was like wait, He’s more than just the fire to keep ya warm… He’s more like a cabin. with warmth. food. shelter. companionship inside. warm clothes for the journey ahead after ya refuel…. the cabin to protect us from the wilds beasts out there, those wol...

“if ya stay ready, ya ain’t gotta get ready”! a great bar and line from the theologian andy mineo in the song ‘KNOW THATS RIGHT’… (just kidding, he’s not a theologian… he’s actually a christian hip hop artist. that phrase tho is true… the parable of the ten virgins is a reality of the future… that moment is gonna catch a lot of ppl off guard. BUSYNESS and DISTRACTION is a common problem among toda...

this is just a piggyback recording and clarification off the last podcast “don’t forfeit peace”. WHERE you PLACE YOUR FOCUS, will determine your thoughts, your feelings, your future…. so let it not be on the bullcrap, but rather on the LIFE GIVING GOD OF LOVE AND PEACE. be blessed, be well! shalom!

met someone with a ton of anxiety/fear about the state of current world situations. i have some empathy cause i know what anxiety can feel like… but at the same time, we sorta can just be doing it to ourselves by focusing on the wrong things, neglecting GOD, and having our priorities outta whack. GOD has CRAZY peace for us… but if we don’t allow GOD in, n shift our focus to Him, peace will be elus...

just finished a 36 hour fast. so i hit on that. also, i just got done reading this Phenomenal book “practicing the Way” by John Mark Comer. i talk just a tiny bit about the book. it was very insightful. i loved Comer’s writing, his humor, and his raw honesty. the dude has incorporated great wisdom thru out time from many people of the faith. i believe His book will help any believer on their journ...

a St augustine quote started this tangent, which led into a beautiful PROMISE OF GOD, found in the 41st chapter of ISIAH. be blessed

a moment with my baby girl eliza just now, reminded me of How deep GODS FIERCE LOVE is for us all. this moment of deep love and gratitude inspired this random tangent. I once learned an acronym from an old pastor… “TAWG” . TIME ALONE WITH GOD, and how VALUABLE IT IS. i also briefly hit on the idea and importance of finding that solitude , and using that quiet space for Prayer and LISTENING to the...

this book i’m reading “Practicing the Way. BE WITH JESUS. BECOME LIKE HIM. DO AS HE DID” by John mark comer has been great. and what he’s written Hits a lot on the head…..the RED LETTERS are clear when you study them. and it’s important that we are not self deceived. there’s a lotta “christian’s” apparently in the world….but how many consider themselves HIS APPRENTICE?! HIS STUDENT? HIS DISCIPLE ?...

2024, and the past is over. we only have the Present, which dictates our future (on earth and eternity). let the new YEAR bring in the NEW you!! a NEW PEACE, a NEW real tangible JOY, a NEW PATIENCE, a NEW KINDNESS… some NEW STRENGTH, a NEW PERSPECTIVE, some real HEALING, whether it’s in your heart, mind, body, or relationships. most of all, may you experience a NEW LOVE!!!! a new love for yourself...

a song “no impossible with you” inspired a little tangent, that goes hand in hand with an amazing moment in time. found in daniel 3. when those who “went thru the fire”, were protected by GOD, and reminded, HE IS WITH THEM. be blessed

this is just a part 2 tangent of the last podcast. MAY WE BE HUMBLE, and reject ALL FORMS OF PRIDE!

had to clarify something from the youtube short #2 . IF we receive HIS light… it’ll naturally reflect to those around us. but if we are in the darkness, there will be no fruit, and nothing will get done for the Kingdom. nothing will be done for eternity. what did He mean “shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life ?” could darkness be idolatry ? pride ? slothfulness? …. and what does i...

The power of life and death is in our tongue. OUR WORDS are powerful. i’ve mentioned this before , but we all need a reminder including myself. They can build up, and they can tear down. SPEAK LIFE. SPEAK KINDNESS. SPEAK LOVE 💯

i let part my new favorite song play in the beginning (Hard fought hallelujah by Brandon Lake). the lyrics are very fitting for my family & I, as we go thru this rough szn of life. i don’t think there’s anything harder in life than to watch your loved one’s go thru suffering. sometimes ya gotta fight thru the pain n suffering and questioning, and just find a reason(s) to PRAISE GOD, cause HE doesn...

just got the news that mom dukes now has cancer too. i won’t stay stuck on the problem, the obstacle. i will trust God to see her thru it. may the Lord get us all thru all of the B/S life throws at us. our faith will be tested, but GOD is right beside us, every moment of every day, now and FOREVER .
