LaMika
1-800 God's Luv provides listeners with inspiration by sharing how the host(LaMika) went from routine church goer to having an intimate relationship with God. LaMika reminds listeners God isn't looking for perfect people, but people who will say yes to his call. Each episode she shares God's word and her personal experiences, while giving listeners motivation to say yes to God's will for their lives.
In this episode, LaMika discusses how the very things that come naturally to you may be the very gifts God wants to use for His glory. Too often, we overlook our God-given abilities because they feel ordinary to us, while others recognize them as something special. Through personal stories about starting a podcast despite not liking her voice, stepping outside of her comfort zone to create inspirational videos, and saying yes to public speaking even while battling fear, LaMika shares how God often calls us beyond our comfort zone to fulfill His purpose. This episode will encourage you to stop dismissing the gifts God has placed within you and begin stewarding them with confidence, knowing that what comes naturally to you may be exactly what someone else needs.
Have you ever noticed how quickly your mind starts negotiating the moment you're about to do something difficult?
In this episode, LaMika share a lesson God reminded her while in the gym after increasing the weight on one of her exercises. Her body wasn't giving up—but her mind immediately started trying to convince her to settle for less than she was capable of. That's when she realized this isn't just a fitness battle; it's a spiritual one.
How often does our mind try to negotiate with what God has already called us to do? It tells us we're not qualified, it's too hard, we should wait, or we'll fail. Before we ever take the first step of obedience, our thoughts begin talking us out of what God has already spoken.
We'll also look at Noah's example of obedience. He didn't build the ark because it made sense—he built it because God said so. Understanding came later. Obedience came first.
If you've ever wrestled with fear, self-doubt, overthinking, or hesitation, this episode will encourage you to recognize the difference between God's voice and the limiting thoughts trying to keep you from His purpose.
Key Takeaway: Don't let your mind talk you out of something God has already talked you into.
