I am reading James Clear's Atomic Habits and wanted to share thoughts from the book.

Uncovering false spiritual authority Don’t confuse spiritual authority with early influence/wealth/power I John 4:1 - spiritual skepticism/ the process of authentication Matthew 26:41: Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

I think I'm canceling Mo'Nique and Jada for Good. I'm adding Johnny Depp and Amber to the prayer list. I think Shaunie (O'Neil) needs to get off of Basketball wives now that her husband is a pastor.

This episode is about risk-taking!

Are you a fiery e-mail sender? I used to be one of those folks too! In this episode, I share some ways that I have become more thoughtful in my approach to addressing this when emotions are high!

If you are like me, you start the year with a refreshed perspective on what's possible. The change of the calendar year offers the possibility of something new and exciting. There is something amazing about a fresh start. Then, the realities of life set in. Before you know it, it's February and things have gone back to what they were the year before. It doesn't take long before you hear yourself s...

God gave me the freedom I needed to focus through some unlikely and uncomfortable circumstances. I get it now! I am praying and sharing with others who may be in similar seasons of life.

My trip to Bath and Body Works helped me to realize that we often forget about Black-Owned businesses. This is my tribute to them. Buy a black-owned candle rather than participating in the prostituting of Black culture at big box stores.

DO you remember the story in the Bible about Joseph, Jacob’s son? Joseph was eventually sold into slavery by his brothers, manipulated by his owner’s wife and eventually vindicated and promoted. Joseph had a gift for dreaming and interpreting dreams. It created a stumbling block for him among those that were supposed to love him the most. “HERE COMES THAT DREAMER," they said when the see him come...

What did David mean in Psalm 23:5 when he said "my cup runneth over?" Over the last few weeks, I’ve endeavored to enjoy a cup of coffee at home. While I’ve had one or two slip-ups, I’ve been relatively successful. In an effort to encourage me, I’ve purchased a variety of flavored non-dairy creamers and themed mugs. I forgot what was on the cup when it took it out of the cabinet, rinsed it, and pla...

This is an edited version of a lesson shared on Sunday, January 9, 2022. The lesson chronicles the experience of Jacob, who is on a journey back to his hometown of Beersheba. God interrupts his trip in an unexpected way, building upon the promise he made to Jacob's father and grandfather. I discuss how we can use Jacob's experience to better understand the "why" of the seasons we endure.

I watched all of the seasons of Insecure and am so sad to see it go! In this episode, I recap my experience with the last season and discuss some takeaways that resonated with me.

Whatever system hurts you will generally become the target you point at when the next system makes you feel liberated. True liberation is when you are free from systems and targets! When God gives me the grace and strength to forgive the people who hurt me in my last system, HE even frees me from the system that manipulated my vulnerability. MY pain is just gonna be my testimony. Not my weapon. I’...

I'm handing out tips for getting in the Christmas mood!

The Sacramento Airport had my car towed. I wanted to share some transparent thoughts about how I have been dealing with it.

I originally recorded this in December of 2020. A conversation with my brothers abs an upcoming holiday trip brought this to my memory and I think I would re-share.
