Most of the time, when we are facing a huge problem or issue, we think we must become even bigger to solve it. But what if it's exactly the opposite? What if becoming smaller and less important is a significant key to winning battles and increasing spiritual authority? Have a listen as we touch on the 'Ant-Man Effect'!

One of the dangers of being genius and gifted is that you can end up moving ahead of God's perfect timing because you feel you are wise enough to make decisions on your own. Humility and surrender are traits of the great! Being able to partner with God is a blessing, but like all relationships- our relationship with god is built on mutual trust. Human wisdom must be submitted to God's wisdom if we want to experience a life full of God's blessings!

Discover how to break free from the need for human praise and embrace God's validation instead.

Part 3: The Difference between Gifting and Anointing

Introduction: Explaining the difference between gifting and anointing and their significance in our spiritual journey.
Unpacking the concept: Helping listeners understand how gifting refers to natural talents and abilities, while anointing is God's supernatural power and enablement.
Recognizing the impact of God's development process: Discuss how God cultivates our anointing by refining our character, growing our faith, and teaching us dependence on Him.
Key takeaway: Embracing God's development process and honoring the Anointing, rather than relying on worldly achievements or seeking quick validation.
Anointing is empowered by the weakness of self. Gifting is empowered by the strength of self. The Lord’s power works best through those who have placed their total dependence on His Spirit. Our gifts work best when we actively cultivate and master them. God loves working with minimum to produce maximum. The more we surrender, the more space He has to fill.
The Anointing is not 'an energy, a vibration or impersonal force", it is the Person of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a Supernatural Being who has emotions.
'Our gift will take us places our character can't keep us. - Eric Thomas'
A.N.T. - A Tool for Discernment.
Audit of your character.
Name of Jesus exalted above their own.
Time in His Presence.
Oil, is the difference. (See Matthew 25)

Part 2: Living Transformed: Not Following the World's Trends (Romans 12:1-2)

Introduction: Discussing the pressure to conform to worldly trends and the struggle to resist them. Start with a ‘Did You Know’ Fact. Todays Topic: Days of the Week named after Greek gods/goddesses
Exploring Romans 12:1-2: Breaking down the verses to understand the biblical perspective on transformation and resisting conformity to the world.
Differentiating between worldly trends and God's will: Discussing how chasing after worldly trends can hinder our spiritual growth and prevent us from fully embracing God's plans for our lives.
Encouragement to seek God's will: Providing practical advice on how to renew our minds and align our lives with God's perfect and pleasing will. (Read books, listen to podcasts, get accountability partners, read the BIBLE)
Key takeaway: Embracing our unique journey of transformation in Christ, rather than conforming to the world's patterns.
Don’t follow trends, follow Jesus. We are called to influence the world, not be influenced by the world. Be careful that we aren’t emulating the world to gain popularity. (Talk about the folding chair trend that became popular from the Alabama brawl.)
Honor the process and the processed. Don’t assume you can wear shoes you haven’t worn before. Show respect and honor for the process, those in authority, and those who labor among you. Don’t assume that you are prepared for things you know nothing about. Stay humble and stay inquisitive.

Scriptures: Romans 12:1-2 | Jeremiah 15:15-21 | Luke 10:16 | Luke 12:12 | Luke 21:15 | Acts 19:11-17 | Proverbs 25:6-8 | Luke 14:7-11 | Hebrews 12:2

Part 1: The Danger of Verification: Lessons from A Census (1 Chronicles 21:1-4)

Introduction: Highlighting the concept of verification in social media and its implications in our lives. Highlight the FOUR main checkpoints for an account to get verified.
Story of David's census: Examining the story from 1 Chronicles 21 and how David's desire to count his people led to disastrous consequences.
Drawing parallels: Discussing how the act of taking a census in the biblical context can represent our tendencies to seek validation and verification in the world.
Highlighting the dangers: Exploring the negative consequences of seeking worldly verification instead of relying on God's approval.
Key takeaway: Understanding the importance of prioritizing God's approval over seeking validation in the world.
Don’t take a census. We don’t have followers, we have influence. Be careful how we manage our influence. Measure influence, not followers. They are the Lord’s followers, not ours. Our victories should be counted to the Lord, not us. David got emboldened because him and his boys were destroying giants. Stay humble and keep stewarding.)

Verification Requirements for Instagram:

Authentic: Represent a real person, registered business or entity. (The Word of God tests the character and authenticity of earthly/heavenly characters. See Hebrews 4:12)
Unique: Represent the unique presence of the person or business. Only one account per person or business may be verified, with exceptions for language-specific accounts. We don't verify general interest accounts (example: @puppymemes). (We are all unique, fearfully and wonderfully made by the Father. See Psalm 139)
Complete: Your account ⁠must be public⁠ and have a bio, profile photo and be active when you apply. (Our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. See Luke 10:20)
Notable: Your account must represent a well-known, highly searched for person, brand or entity. We review accounts that are featured in multiple news sources, and we don't consider paid or sponsored media content as sources for review. (Jesus is the Person or Brand we represent as God’s children, the most Notable name in Heaven. See John 14:6)

In this captivating episode of "Give Me Your Earrings," we dive deep into the profound realities of the idols that surround us. Inspired by the timeless wisdom of Exodus 32:1-4, we explore the notion that our idols reside much closer than we often perceive.

Join us as we uncover the hidden power of attention and its role in the formation of these idols. Through insightful discussions and personal reflections, we shed light on the things and individuals that captivate our ears, shaping our desires and pulling our attention away from the Lord.

In this thought-provoking episode, we invite you to join us on a journey of self-discovery, where we learn to carefully discern what has our ear and what truly dominates our devotion. Are you ready to confront the idols in your life? Tune in as we discuss practical strategies for locating and dismantling these distractions, allowing us to reorient our attention toward a deeper connection with the Lord.

Don't miss this enlightening episode of "Give Me Your Earrings" – where we explore the complexities of faith, attention, and the pursuit of a more centered spiritual life. Get ready to uncover the idols that may be shaping your world.

Key Points:

Learn the E.A.R.S. analogy as a tool to discern what you are hearing. E.A.R.S. Hearing Test Tool (Echo. Authority. Responses. Submit)
There are 4 main voices that we must be able to discern: God and His messengers, evil spirits, our flesh, and influential humans such as parents, guardians, mentors, influencers, celebrities, etc.
Our faith is shaped by what we hear and pay attention to.
Our heart is likened to a 'gated community' that should be maintained according to the desired culture and output of it. (Reference: Proverbs 4:23)

Theme Scriptures:

Exodus 32:1-4 | Romans 10:17 | Proverbs 4:23 | Galatians 4:1-3 | Hebrews 4:12

In this enlightening episode, we delve into the essence and power of faith, focusing on the extraordinary significance of pursuing Jesus in our lives. We question common self-improvement practices and argue that individual power or discipline is insufficient for attaining true righteousness. Instead, we posit that surrendering oneself to Jesus is the real path to righteousness.

An exciting feature of this episode is the sharing of soulful music from Victory Boyd, songs that have been instrumental in deeply blessing me and, hopefully, you too. These pieces illustrate the profound connection between music, faith, and the journey toward salvation.
We also explore the former systems that cleansed us of our sins, aiming to draw clarity and better relate them to contemporary religious practices. This retrospective perspective serves as a reminder of how the sacrifice of Jesus fundamentally revolutionized our redemption process.
Though Jesus paid the ultimate price for our sins, we discuss how, unfortunately, many believers seem to be taking the blood of Jesus for granted. This concern raises critical questions about our understanding and appreciation of His sacrifices.

The crux of our conversation is focused on humility and brokenness of heart, two virtues that pave the way for steadfast fellowship with God. We assert that these virtues, though often overlooked, are paramount in building a deep relationship with the divine.

Wrapping up, we confront a concept that may initially sound cliché - everything that matters is Jesus. While this might be tossed around casually in conversations, its profound depth takes on real meaning when we experience it personally.

Join us in this episode as we introspect, confront our beliefs, and deepen our understanding of the role Jesus plays in our pursuit of righteousness and inner peace.

Hey friends! Welcome back to our podcast! In this episode, we're joined by our friend Derrick for our fourth open session. We're diving into a topic that's been on our minds lately and we think it's something you'll find interesting too! We're talking about what it means to be a voice 'crying out in the wilderness'. You might have heard of this term before in the Bible, but there's so much more to it than that.

There are countless voices out there vying for our attention, but are we listening to the right one? We'll explore the fascinating story of John the Baptist and his relationship with the Lord Jesus. But we'll also get into what it means for us today, and how we can make sure we're hearing the right voices in a busy and distracting world. So whether you're a longtime listener or new to the show, we can't wait to have you join us for this deep and thought-provoking conversation!

Keys from This Episode:

When we focus solely on magnifying our voice, we make ourselves subject to the world’s acceptance- so our volume can be lowered or raised as the world wills. When we focus solely on magnifying God's voice, God will lower or raise His voice as He wills. Whose voice are we trying to raise or lower: our voice or God's voice?
There are many voices and distractions calling out to us. We have to tune out the world and tune in to God.
There are two types of voices being projected from the body of Christ: those with selfish motives and those with pure motives.

Theme Scriptures:

Genesis 3:8 | Genesis 3:10 | Genesis 3:17 | Genesis 4:10 | Genesis 16:2 | Gensis 21:12 | Exodus 19:16 | Exodus 20:18 | Psalms 77:18 | Psalms 81:11 | Psalms 104:7 | Ecclesiastes 5:3 | Ecclesiastes 10:20 | Philippians 1:15-18 | Matthew 23:5 | Romans 16:17-18 | 1 Corinthians 3:3-4 | 1 Corinthians 13:3 | 2 Corinthians 12:20 | Galatians 2:4 | James 4:5-6 | 1 Peter 5:2-4 | John 3:28 | Matthew 3:3 | Mark 1:3 | Luke 1:16, 17, 76-79 | Luke 3:4-6 | Isaiah 40:3-5 | Isaiah 40:27-31 | Matthew 12:15-21

Podcast Description:

In this episode, we continue our group conversation on the Book of Acts. Jesus said 'A house divided against itself can not stand'. One of the reasons why the Body of Christ is not as organizationally influential as it could be is because there has been a deviation from the practices and ways of the first church which was birthed by the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. If we examine the book of Acts and contrast it to our current condition and way of doing things, we will see that many of us have strayed away from the template that was given to us by the original disciples and followers of Christ.

In our third open session, we give you a few pointers and challenge you to start doing the things you are reading about in the book of Acts.

Keys from This Episode:

The Lord wants His people to use the gifts, talents, and abilities that they have been given. These gifts are a ‘point of contact’ which make room for you and the others that God has called to Himself.
The Body of Christ needs to be discipled on how to build, cultivate, restore, and grow a community. Many believers are functioning as individuals when the Kingdom wants us to function as one body, or one community.
You should have some stories to tell as a believer. If your life is super quiet, safe, and predictable, you need to start praying to God for the Holy Spirit to empower you for ministry. You are called to be a light, not a lampshade.

Podcast Description:

In this episode, we had an open conversation touching on my personal experience with the Book of Acts along with a few statements on the current condition of the church. Jesus said 'A house divided against itself can not stand'. One of the reasons why the Body of Christ is not as organizationally influential as it could be is because there has been a deviation from the practices and ways of the first church which was birthed by the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. If we examine the book of Acts and contrast it to our current condition and way of doing things, we will see that many of us have strayed away from the template that was given to us from the original disciples and followers of Christ.

In this session, we give you a few pointers and challenge you to start doing the things you are reading about in the book of Acts.

Keys from This Episode:

It doesn't matter how much of the Word of God you know and talk about if you don't know the Author of that Word. The most important thing for you to do is to remain seated at the feet of Jesus.
It is the Lord who adds to His church, not men. We are simply called to be wise stewards of our relationships and resources.
We don't need to 'explore' or 'reinvent the wheel' to build the body of Christ, we just need to stay in the Word and follow it, stay humble by submitting our mind daily to the lordship of Jesus Christ, and continually grow our relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Podcast Description:This is a three-part series on how to discover and solidify our identity in Christ. Many believers end up in extended wilderness seasons because they have yet to find their identity in Christ. When we are born again, we are no longer a slave to the spiritual principles which govern this world, we are made new and set free in Christ. In order for us to experience the abundant life that Jesus promised us, we must be willing to let go of the old in order to fully take hold of the new. We don't want to be a people who die confused in the wilderness because we fail to embrace our kingdom identity. We are in this world, but we are not of this world! This series is for those of you who desire to live a free life in Christ where you are able to be who God called you to be without having to submit to your old ways, old programming, and undiscernible demonic hindrances. In this series opener, we touch on what soul ties are and how they operate in the life of a believer. We can walk out our kingdom identity which is a life of love, joy, purpose, and purified passion, but we must understand how the enemy uses soul ties to keep us confused and stagnant in our destinies. We will share how you can identify and submit them to the Lord so you can gain power over your past. You are a new creation! Behold, all things are new!Keys from This Episode: - You are a seed planted here for a set time by the Lord. When the seed goes down and dies, it looks one way. When it comes to life and starts rising above the soil it looks another way. - Soul ties can be referenced as a person, place, or a thing. There are certain people, places, and things from our past that can hinder our present development and growth since these were 'nutrients' to our seed in a previous season. Soul ties have the ability to exert influence over our present thinking. - The Word of God is your new Source of Identification, that Word more specifically being the Lord Jesus. The Holy Spirit helps to reproduce in you the Personality of Jesus on the earth through a process commonly known as 'sanctification'. If someone were to ask you for your 'driver's license' as 'proof of id' in the spirit, you would show them Jesus, not you.

In this episode, we had an open conversation covering a few subjects. We had a guest caller as well as my wife Ashley share some wisdom and recent experiences. We touched on the conversion of Saul into Paul, how to measure your life as a believer, and how important it is to fellowship with the Lord on a daily basis.

Keys from This Episode:

Saul had the documents and approval to persecute the church, but the Spirit of the Lord interrupted his earthly assignment.
One of the ways to measure your life as a believer is to use the book of Acts as a guide to see how your life compares to that of the first believers who had received the Holy Spirit.
The Lord usually will restore our long-lost relationships for one or two reasons: to be a witness to them or for us to 'settle accounts' with them.

Theme Scripture:

Acts 9:1-18

In this episode, we touch on the process of how the Word of God produces fruit in our lives. Many of us have not been taught how to receive or come into agreement with the Word of God, so we experience spiritual stagnation or periods of drought because we lack insight into the process of spiritual impartation.

When we understand that the Word of God is spirit and that we are spiritual beings having a human experience, we can be more intelligent and decisive in our response to the written and spoken Word of God.

Keys from This Episode:

The word 'amen' means 'truly' and 'so be it'. When we say things like 'amen' in response to the Word of God, we are saying that whatever we heard, saw, or read is true and we are outwardly expressing our agreement with it. Our intentional physical interaction with the written or spoken Word of God strengthens our faith in the Word of God since faith comes by hearing.
The Word of God produces fruit, not you. You can only yield to the process of growth by placing your trust in God and Heaven's processes.
Our heart is the soil that the Word of God must penetrate for His Word to produce fruit. The "fruit' of His Spirit is a changed life that brings glory to God.

Podcast Description:

In part four of this five-part series on kingdom covenants, we highlight the rarely discussed spiritual personality of King Ahab. King Ahab was the husband of the infamous Queen Jezebel. While many people highlight the wickedness and evil works of Jezebel, few mention how her husband Ahab was a partner in her antics. Ahab allowed wickedness and evil to reign in his presence. He was indifferent to evil due to his failure to expose and overcome it. We must be intentional about all the partnerships and connections we form because we are always declaring something in the spiritual realm.

Keys from This Episode:

There's a 'popular quote that 'all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.'
The sin of passivity is just as ugly as the sin of unrighteous aggression.
Secondhand smoke is just as dangerous as smoking yourself.
Ahab submits to the lordship of stronger and more charismatic personalities.

Keys from This Episode:

The spirit and/or the assignment of Delilah is to weaken her opponent so the enemy can easily overcome them. Delilah has 'spiritual employers' who she receives compensation from.
The spirit and/or assignment of Delilah is to weaken her prey to prepare them for destruction. She seeks after your strength and vitality since it empowers her for her mission.
This wicked spirit has the inability to love in sincerity and gains its strength by capitalizing on your vulnerabilities

Keys from This Episode:

What you fail to identify, you fail to conquer. There is no ambiguity in the realm of the spirit. Everything has intention and purpose.
Spirits do not have genders, they can operate through whatever host they have been given access to. We expose the traits and characteristics of the spirit of Jezebel.
Jezebel will only submit to authority for a season. Jezebel's name means ‘un-husbanded’, ‘without cohabitation’, and ‘her husband is Baal’.
The only way to overcome Jezebel is by brute force and authority. You must stand in your God-given authority and not allow her ways to seduce or entangle you.

Podcast Description:

In part one of this five-part series on kingdom covenants, we give insight into the purpose of a union. Many of us have made permanent decisions to unite ourselves with certain people, places and things based on our emotions rather than using time-tested wisdom. We must be intentional about all the partnerships and connections we form because we are always declaring something in the spiritual realm. This message series will give insight into the purpose of union as well as expose a few spirits that work to hinder and abort callings and assignments. These messages are for everybody, especially those of you who are in business, ministry, single, married/wanting to be married, have kids, and the like. If you consider yourself a purpose-driven person, you need to tune into this series!

In this series opener we give you the true purpose of union. As a purpose-driven person, you need to know how the things, people and places you connect with affect your destiny. Your calling, gifts and assignment can be positively and negatively impacted by the covenant connections you form.

Keys from This Episode:

The purpose of a union is to multiply, replenish and subdue the earth. The direction of union is oneness in Christ.
We should walk prudently, exercising wisdom and using discernment. What we ignore now, we will be forced to pay attention to later.
Before you chose to follow Jesus, you were an enemy of God. Now that you have chosen God, you are an enemy of Satan.
While we are a people who believe in rest and having fun in its season, we also should be aware that we are at war. We are no longer civilians.

Podcast Description:

In the final part of this three-part series, we touch on the commonly discussed 'fruit of the Spirit. Many of us have been taught that the fruit of the Spirit is something you do, but we expose the truth behind what Paul is talking about in Galatians 5. This series aims at sharing the purpose of discipleship, sharing the Good News, and why it is important to fully embrace your call to advance the kingdom of God. Many believers, out of the feeling of entitlement, have the misconception that following Jesus leads to a trouble-free life that's void of danger and harm, but our aim is to sharpen your perspective on what life as a believer really looks like. We are challenging our listeners to fully embrace their calling, gifts, and assignment.

In this episode, we share how the fruit of the Spirit is not for your own consumption, it is for growth and advancement of others. We touch on how you can only produce fruit through fellowship with God and allowing His character to be formed in you.

Keys from This Episode:

The fruit of the Spirit is evidence that you have the Spirit of God living inside you.
Not every ministry is a ‘fruit bearing ministry’.
The fruit is supposed to feed others, it’s not for you. The only thing you can do is see the fruit bringing life to others and sometimes you’ll feed from those you minister to.
The fruit of the Spirit is produced by the Holy Spirit, not you. You can’t ‘do the fruit’ of the Spirit.

Theme Scripture:

Galatians 5:22-23 | 1 Peter 4:1-3 | Matthew 7:15-20 | Luke 13:26-27 | Mark 8:24 | Luke 3:9 | Luke 6:44 | Jude 1:12 | Revelation 8:7 | Matthew 3:8 | Matthew 3:10 | Matthew 13:8 | Matthew 21:19 | Luke 13:6-7 | John 4:36 | John 15:2-16 | Romans 1:13 | Ephesians 5:9 | Philippians 1:11 | 2 Timothy 2:6 | James 3:17 | Revelation 22:2

Podcast Description:

In part two of this three-part series, we discuss what we will label as the 'process of faith'. This series aims at sharing the purpose of discipleship, sharing the Good News, and why it is important to fully embrace your call to advance the kingdom of God. Many believers, out of the feeling of entitlement, have the misconception that following Jesus leads to a trouble-free life that's void of danger and harm, but our aim is to sharpen your perspective on what life as a believer really looks like. We are challenging our listeners to fully embrace their calling, gifts, and assignment.

In this episode, we give you insight into God's design process and why it's important to stay focused so you can be fruitful. Thoughts are a spiritual substance and you must know how to manage that spiritual substance in order to walk in power & authority as a child of God.

Keys from This Episode:

Thoughts have weight and texture in the spiritual realm.
C.F.I - The process of faith is Create (Think & Imagine), Form (Add Shape & Structure), and Inspire (Breathe Into & Give Life)
When you allow the Lord to shape your imagination, your work will produce much fruit in the earth.
Man’s comfort zone is sight. God’s comfort zone is faith.

Theme Scripture:

Genesis 2:5 | Genesis 1:26-28 | Genesis 2:4-9 | John 1:1-5 | Genesis 2:10-16 | John 20:19-23 | Genesis 2:7 | Job 33:4 | John 14:16 | John 16:7 | Acts 8:15 | Acts 19:2 | Jeremiah 18:6 | Isaiah 64:8 | Genesis 2:25 | Exodus 27:7 | Proverbs 1:17 | Exodus 27:20-21 | Psalm 23:5 | 2 Timothy 3:5 | Isaiah 29:13 | Matthew 7:15 | Matthew 23:27-28 | Romans 2:20-24 | Titus 1:16 | Matthew 21:18-19 | Mark 11:12-25

In this episode, we begin a new series that aims at sharing the purpose of discipleship, sharing the Good News, and why it is important to fully embrace your call to advance the kingdom of God. Many believers, out of the feeling of entitlement, have the misconception that following Jesus leads to a trouble-free life that's void of danger and harm, but our aim is to sharpen your perspective on what life as a believer really looks like. We are challenging our listeners to fully embrace their calling, gifts, and assignment.

In this series opener, we deal with the truth of what happened in the spirit when you chose to accept Christ and receive the Holy Spirit. You chose a side.

Keys from This Episode:

The moment we accepted Jesus, believed in Him, and chose to receive the Holy Spirit, was an act of war and a decision to choose a side. It was at this moment that we said ‘yes’ to God and ‘no’ to the enemy.
By pledging allegiance to one kingdom, we declared war on another kingdom. Doublemindedness is not permitted in the Kingdom of God.
Believers need to know and discern the difference between a hired hand and a true shepherd.

Theme Scripture:

Romans 10:13-15 | Matthew 10:16 | Matthew 10:34 | Mattgew 11:1 | Luke 19:23 | 1 Corinthians 10:21 | Roamns 11:13-14 | Mark 1:38 | Luke 12:39 | John 10:1 | John 10:10 | 1 Peter 4:15 | Luke 10:3 | John 10:12 | Acts 20:29 | John 10:28-30

In the final part of this five-part series on the rarely discussed topic of setting boundaries, we discuss the importance of setting boundaries- especially for ourselves. Oftentimes, we need to set boundaries and limitations for ourselves so that we can remain in the right position. When we guard ourselves and practice self-discipline, especially with our tongue, we gain power and influence. The more you understand the power of thoughts and words, the more intentional you will be with the people, places, and things you entertain and allow to inform/influence you. As a child of God, you want to be intentional about what you take inside your mind and spirit.

Keys from This Episode:

Boundaries protect you, from you.
Just because something is a good thing doesn’t mean it is a ‘God’ thing. There is a difference between something being a good thing and it being a God thing.
It is better to have a strong and well-informed conscience rather than a weak and uninformed one.

Theme Scripture:

Mark 7:1-23 | James 1:14-15 | Mark 7:6 | James 1:26 | Proverbs 28:26 | Jeremiah 17:9 | Mark 14:38 | Proverbs 11:16 | Proverbs 13:3 | Matthew 12:35 | Matthew 15:19 | Hebrews 4:12-13

In part four of this five-part series on the rarely discussed importance of setting boundaries, we discussed how boundaries help you to discern difference. Often, we have been raised or established a certain way and that way becomes a model for how we view and respond to life situations. We need to be trained on how to respond rather than react, similar to how a thermostat responds and adjusts the system according to the temperature in a room while a thermometer simply reads and displays/mirrors the current temperature.

Keys from This Episode:

Boundaries help you to discern difference, so you can respond through wisdom rather than only emotion. To a blind man, darkness and light seem like the same thing.
The Pharisees who accused Jesus of being empowered by demons were not able to discern the difference.
Boundaries help you to discern differences, like the difference between kindness and charm. Charm is sorcery and witchcraft when being used to obtain a certain outcome.

Theme Scripture:

Matthew 12:22-32 | John 10:1-21 | John 15:1-11 | Galatians 5:19-25 | Matthew 7:15-24

In part three of this five-part series on the rarely discussed importance of setting boundaries, we touch on how boundaries create a safe space for learning and development. This safe space is not only for you but for those attached to you as well. In order to be effective in our assignments, we must learn how to focus and identify potential distractors, whether they be people, places, or things.

Keys from This Episode:

Boundaries create a safe space for growth and development.
Boundaries create a space for you to sharpen your innate gifts, skills, and abilities.
Boundaries create a ‘quiet space’ in the spirit where you can hear from God.

Theme Scripture:

Luke 10:38-42 | 2 Corinthians 9:7 | Proverbs 4:23 | Philippians 4:7 | 2 Timothy 1:7 | Luke 10:19 | Luke 24:49 | Psalm 119:80 | Proverbs 2:7 | Luke 8:35 | Proverbs 8:14 | Luke 15:17 | Proverbs 2:7

In part two of this five-part series on the rarely discussed importance of setting boundaries, we share how setting boundaries creates a space for you to receive and respond to the favor of God in your life. It's important that you spend time with the Lord and His servants so you can discern the territory that you have been called to navigate and influence on behalf of the kingdom of God. The more you know about your God-given territory, the more effective, focused, and intentional you will be on a day-to-day basis- but first, you must know how boundaries work.

Keys from This Episode:

Boundaries create a space for you to receive and respond to God’s favor.
You need to know the boundary markers for the territory the Lord has given you. You’ll be able to discern the beginning and end of favor.
Let the Lord be the one to expand your territory, not you. Sharpen your gifts, knowledge, and discernment but don’t do it for the fame— do it so you can be a better servant.

Theme Scripture:

Joshua 1:1-18

In part one of this five-part series on the rarely discussed importance of setting boundaries, we cover the importance of setting boundaries. Setting boundaries creates a place for rest when done in response to one understanding their calling, assignment, and God-given territory. It's possible that some of us are not experiencing adequate rest in Jesus because we are not establishing enough borders in our relationships, businesses, family, etc.

Keys from This Episode:

Boundaries create a space for rest.
We all have a ‘zone’, an assigned territory of influence that has been allotted to us. It is our portion to discover, nurture and cultivate it.
Jesus speaks in parables to ‘outsiders’, but only explains the parables to ‘insiders’.

Theme Scripture:

In this episode, we talk about the purpose and power of forgiveness. When an individual, company or lender decides to discharge a debt, they are offering something known as forgiveness. Forgiveness is a gift that keeps giving, but because some don’t understand the spiritual implications behind forgiving others and making allowance for faults they end up keeping people in debt. You will never look at forgiveness the same way after hearing this message!

Keys from This Episode:

Forgiveness is also a financial term, it is when you choose to cancel or dismiss a debt.
Followers of Jesus called to be generous in all areas of their lives.
The people we refuse to forgive are made into our ‘slaves’, self-designating ourselves as their ‘lord or owner’.

Theme Scripture:

Colossians 3:13

2 Corinthians 5:21-21

Proverbs 22:7

In this episode, we discuss the importance of waiting on the Lord and learning how to slow down. This message is for those of you who are quick to obey the word of the Lord but need wisdom and guidance on discerning the timing of God. One of the traps of the enemy is to cause an individual's ambitions to contend or compete with the work of the Lord.

Keys from This Episode: * Jesus is never in a rush to do anything but love. * If you don't hear His voice, look for His hand. * Embrace this behavior daily: Pause, Look and Listen

In this episode, we discuss the importance of seeing things correctly. We all have been wounded and scarred in some way, and often these wounds shape our lens of how we view God, people and situations. In order to see properly, we have to retrain our minds to look at God, people and situations from the lens of love.

Keys from This Episode:

Whatever you treasure in your heart becomes the lens that you see God and people though.
While we develop our gifts and character, we should also be building up our love muscles.
God is not impressed by human righteousness, He is impressed by those who love greatly.

Theme Scriptures:

In this episode, we cover the importance of appreciating the Word of God and how the ability to understand it is granted by God. We highlight how the Word of God is a spiritual book to be spiritually discerned. Not all people are granted permission to grasp the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven. Keys from This Episode:

There are 4 types of responses to the word of God once it is preached.
You need the Holy Spirit in order to understand and obey the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Jesus speaks in parables to ‘outsiders’, but only explains the parables to ‘insiders’.

Today’s episode breaks down how important it is to maintain the right perspective during a trial or tribulation. It is easy and quite intuitive for us to draw inwards and refrain from sharing our love with others when we are being mistreated. We will read through a few passages and see how Jesus’s attitude was during His journey to the cross.

Keys from This Episode:

We tend to desire a carnal rescue (temporary fix) rather than spiritual rescue (permanent fix).
When you understand the purpose of the thorn that may be appointed to you, you embrace it.
When you are standing for God, sometimes it will look like you are standing on your own, but you are not! Heaven backs you!

Today’s episode highlights why it is important to study and meditate on the written and spoken word of God. We mention how every person should pursue to gain more wisdom through meditation and study in the Word of God. The word of God is not like any other book in the world, it is a book that reads you! It is a spiritual book, that must be spiritually discerned.

Keys from This Episode:

The word has to become a part of you.
Applied wisdom creates a gap between what happens to you and how you respond to them.
The wisdom you gain isn't just for you, but also for those attached to you.

Theme Scripture:

Psalm 119:105 NLT Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

In this episode, I highlight how it's important to utilize our knowledge, connection, education, and resources to assist others in their journeys. I share how it is important not to just talk, but to live as the type of person who helps others move forward. We feature Steve Wiggs, a former Constable for the State of Pennsylvania who shares his story about how he was wrongfully detained by law enforcement and how that situation inspired him to become an active advocate for citizen education surrounding law enforcement.

Keys from This Episode:

There’s a difference between an elected official and a hired official.
There are government officials that are funded by taxpayers' dollars and those that are not.
If you can provide encouragement, assistance, a platform, connections, insight, or resources to anyone who needs help- you should do so if you are able. Don't withhold your resources because you think the impact will be small.

Theme Scripture:

Proverbs 3:28 (ESV) Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it”--when you have it with you.

My Testimony - Episode 4 In this episode, I share the story behind my reasons for following Jesus Christ. I share how I dabbed into other religions and spiritual paths before Jesus revealed Himself to me personally and I was able to experience a more positive aspect of Christianity through my mother in law and wife. My good friend Malcom joins us as well to share his testimony as well. I share what discouraged me from going to church and also how important it is to know our testimony. 'Our testimony is a weapon of warfare.' Our testimony is wrapped up in the victory of Jesus Christ. We are part of His reward. Matthew 13:6 - But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Matthew 13:20-21 - As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away.

Wise as Serpents, Harmless As Doves - Episode 3

This message is a brief synopsis on how believers are to employ both wisdom and purity in their dealings with this world system. Many believers have been unconsciously trained to reject culture and denounce it rather than becoming students of their generation so they can be more strategic and impactful in their witness.

The aim of this message is to give listeners insight on how they are to manage the knowledge, resources and relationships of this world so they can keep advancing the kingdom of God.

Matthew 10:16 (ESV) “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves."

Poor in Spirit, Rich In God - Episode 2

Today’s message breaks down what it means to be ‘blessed’ according to the Bible along with the highlighting the things we have to been trained by society to measure our worth.. We use one of the Beatitudes as a template for this topic.

I share my testimony of how I used to define myself by my possessions and accom0lishments rather than my identity in Christ. It wasn't until I learned how to define myself by the Word of God that I was able to walk in true freedom.

Matthew 5:3 (ESV) “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

In this message, we debunked this myth: ‘Self Love Is the Best Love.’ Narcissism has its birth origins in ‘self-love’.

In the scriptures, we are told that love is not self-seeking. We are also told that to follow Jesus, we must deny ourselves and follow Him.

Reference Scriptures:

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NLT — Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever!

2 Timothy 3:1-5 NLT — You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!

1 John 4:7-12 NLT — Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.

Love Myth #1: "Two halves make a whole."

In part one of this series, I will expose the things that we hold dear to our hearts that misconstrue our understanding of love. There is a wrong understanding of love that many of us have because of what we see online and have been taught from our peers and parents. Love is not a feeling, it is a decision.

In this introductory message, we will go through 1 Corinthians 13 and challenge ourselves to look inward and see where we are when it comes to expressing love. Love is a decision and requires God’s grace in order to share it with others freely.

Christ wants you to be free.
Investigate the rooms of your soul.
Everything you need in hidden in your true identity which is hidden in Christ Jesus.
Measure vertically, not horizontally. Stop comparing yourself to other people.
Stop trying to ‘be balanced’ and let the Lord balance you in your new identity. Set your eyes on the reality of Heaven.
Be careful opening up the ‘windows’ of your apartment (your soul), you are either bringing glory to God or the enemy with the ‘air’ you let in your apartment(your soul).

Scriptures:

2 Corinthians 3:14-18 (NLT) 14 But the people’s minds were hardened, and to this day whenever the old covenant is being read, the same veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ. 15 Yes, even today when they read Moses’ writings, their hearts are covered with that veil, and they do not understand. 16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord--who is the Spirit--makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.

Proverbs 4:23 (NLT) Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

Romans 12:1-2 (NLT) 1 And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice--the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. 2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

2 Corinthians 5:16-17 (NLT) 16 So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now! 17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

Power, true spiritual power, often looks like weakness to undiscerning eyes.

Be careful who you talk about and criticize. We have a wrong viewpoint of weakness, we lack information on it. Weakness, is purposed to request the intervention of God's strength.

Our response to opposition is based upon what we have placed our trust on. We respond based upon whom we want to give glory.

Many of us are under the perception that when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we can just 'relax' in our salvation. The purpose of salvation is for us to be conformed into the image of Christ. The reason we are 'saved' is so we can replicate God's image in the earth and take territory for the kingdom. However, to truly understand why some suffering is necessary, one must be educated on 'wholeness'. The reason why some people end up leaving the faith is because they aren't educated on the process of being made whole. Being that we are all born into a 'messed up world' with a 'messed up' nature, we require a total makeover and reprogramming. We must learn how to be like God, the One who created us. However, this 'learning' is brought about through 'divine refining' processes that produce the image of Christ in us. As we are made whole through these 'divine refining' processes, we become more powerful, joyful, enduring, faithful, loving and forgiving. We become... like God. This message will shed some light on how these processes work from Heaven's perspective and why we must learn to embrace the process. I will share my personal battles and why I encourage everyone to 'pursue wholeness'!! #process #alphatalk #powercall

Do you want to live free? One of the reasons why many of us stay in the same position for years is because we haven't learned how to discern or respond to the voice of God. We stay stuck because we have a hard time distinguishing the difference between God's voice, the enemy's voice and the sound of our own flesh. In our last 'Are You Hearing Things' message we talked about the how the flesh has a sound. In this message, we will discuss how to discern and respond to the voice of God.

In this message, we will be talking about God's love for you and why He requires holiness to see Him. Many of us are wondering why we aren't experiencing His love more deeply on a daily basis, and it's because we don't fully have a grip on what God hates and what God loves. When you understand what He loves, you'll be able to fellowship with Him in a much deeper way more often.

Walk with me as I play out this real-life scenario real quick. Check it out: You are usually a neat person. You love keeping a tidy house and when small things go missing, you usually notice. One morning, you hear a knock at your door. It's ONE of the electricians from the electric company (pay close attention...). They have been scheduled to come into your home to do a system upgrade. The ONE electrician asks for permission. You grant him permission. He tells you to hold on for a sec. He goes back outside and summons for the rest of the crew to come in. You gave permission to one of the electricians, but he's not working alone today. Before you know it, you have over seven electricians in your home. They are walking around on your brand new carpet with their nasty boots from outside. They do their work, and finally, leave. However, your place looks slightly different than it did before. You have access to just one, but he didn't work alone...

I have just given you insight into how your enemy, Satan works. The reason it is so important for children of God to know their enemy is because he knows you. He studies you. He knows what you like. Yes, I said he. He has a personality and employs strategies and tactics to rob you of your joy, peace, prosperity and much more. If you don't learn what you're up against, you will end up being a slave to his purposes. You must KNOW how much God loves you and cares for you.

This message will give you insight and encourage you on your walk with God!!!

Are you ready to walk in true power and authority? Are you ready to feel the presence of God more often? Are you ready to meet that person God created you to be?

The theme scripture of this message is Philippians 4:13. We will be discussing what it means to truly "do all things through Christ who strengthens you". We will discuss the ways that Christ strengthens us and go over what it's like when we move in our own strength rather than God's strength.

Do you constantly wonder what your life purpose is? Do you feel discouraged because you feel like you are living below your potential? Do you find yourself questioning God "why am I here" often? Don't worry, you aren't alone! Many of us have questions about our reason for being. When a person gains more clarity on their particular purpose for creation, they start to live a more fulfilled life because they are operating from a position of power: self knowledge. We intend for this message to help you focus more on discerning God's purpose for your life so you can start living "life more abundantly".

Do you often find yourself saying one thing, but almost "uncontrollably" doing and saying the exact opposite when you are placed under pressure? Do you make well intentioned promises to others, but constantly find yourself dropping the ball by not following through? Perhaps, you've been informed that this is simply an integrity issue. That is part of it, but the real issue is that you may battle with "doublemindedness". In this message, we will uncover how this issue affects you, your destiny, your family and your walk with God.

Do you understand the true purpose of acquiring knowledge? Do you know the two different types of wisdom? Are you aware of the wisdom you are guided by on a daily basis? Many of us are being guided instinctively by our personal emotions, others are guided by the voices of their parents; but few of us are guided by God's Word on a daily basis. On this call, we will discuss the the difference between secular knowledge and biblical wisdom. We will explain how they intersect and give you a guideline for living a more divinely guided life!

Let's be straight: Ok, so we know that God loves us. We know that He always has our best interests in mind. We know that He knows all things and is making us into better people, but we all have one question when we are in the heat of battle: God, where are you Right NOW? We all have been there. Hopefully, this message will give you some insight on how God operates and how deep His love is for you.

How strong is your faith? Have you measured it lately? How do you know when you are being fueled by fear rather than being fueled by faith? Many of us have heard the phrase "walk by faith, not by sight", but as many of us know: it's that "walk" part that we have the most difficulty with. It's easy to say "I have faith", but what is that faith based upon? On this call, we will talk about what faith is in its core essence and how to develop your faith by becoming more aware of what motivates your daily behaviors.

Feeling a bit discouraged because something you are waiting on hasn't happened yet? How many times have you heard that something would happen for you, but you found yourself doubting that it would ever come to pass? Many of us are waiting on things from God like a wife, husband, a better marriage, friendships, a child, a business to take off, a job promotion, more finances etc. We've decided to believe that everything we desire will come to pass, but still find ourselves doubting it will happen for us. On this call, we will discuss what patience really is from God's perspective, how God uses your desires to build you and discover a few ways you can find inner peace and joy while you wait on the promise! You will learn the "3 P's" which will help you to develop more patience in your life.
