Affirmations of Excellence: Recent Episodes
Aerial Ellis
An offering of personal devotionals to fuel your week with excellence as kings and queens. The person who lives a life of excellence is the one who is willing to do and to dare. This podcast is for those who sense a royal calling on your life, who are learning to hear God’s voice in clarity and need motivation for the assignment, and who want to live out His calling with excellence. In each episode, we will explore themes of everyday life and talk through ways to escape mediocrity and find true fulfillment using personal stories and reflections, guided affirmations and clear action steps.
In our last episode, we explored vulnerability. Vulnerability asks, “Why don’t you want to be seen?” In this episode, accountability asks, “Now that you’ve been seen, who’s walking with you?” Vulnerability is about openness. Accountability is about order.
So we get into this truth: Jesus expects accountability from us—not for punishment, but for growth. True transformation doesn’t happen in isolation. It requires connection, correction, and commitment. Let’s take accountability and dive in!

One of the ways our excellence is proven is through relationships. And, I believe that vulnerability is key to building real and meaningful relationships. When we set up a life that is guarded and gated, the enemy comes to attack us. When we’re isolated, we’re at more risk of listening to lies about who we are and coming to believe them as truth.
So, let’s answer a core question today: Does God command us to be vulnerable?
Let’s dive in.

The episode was super personal because at the moment, I am assisting with the care of an elderly loved one. And, it's a lot. We are living in a time where caregiving has become a central part of many people’s lives. Caregiving is not just a task or duty; it is a virtue of excellence.
Whether you are already in a caregiving role or thinking ahead about the possibility, this episode is for you. We’ll explore the challenges, the blessings, and the spiritual call of caregiving.
I’ll share a personal story about growing up in a household where caregiving was a daily reality and reflect on how it shaped me, especially as an only child.
We’ll also talk about how caregiving reflects God's command to love others and find encouragement for those of you who are currently walking this journey.

I lost a family member to suicide and felt that it was time to share an episode in his honor. I would have wanted him to know how loved and how necessary he is before he took his life. Losing a loved one to suicide is profoundly painful and complicated. Whether you or someone you know has been impacted by suicide, I hope this episode helps.
Let’s get real—failure isn’t just a “sometimes” thing.
It happens to everyone. Even when we think we’ve got everything together, failure can show up unexpectedly. But guess what? It’s not the end, and it definitely doesn’t mean we’re disqualified from the love and grace of God. In fact, failure can be exactly what we need to get to the excellence God has for us.

You know names like Paul, David, Hannah, Elijah, Job, and Moses—heroes of faith, right? But did you know they also went through periods of anxiety and depression? Yes, the very people we look up to for their incredible faith had moments of deep despair. They were overwhelmed, broken, and at times, even questioning their purpose and God’s plan.
Depression can make you feel like you’re all alone, that no one else understands what you're going through. Depression is not just a modern issue; it’s something that people have been dealing with for centuries, even in biblical times. Let's dive in.
Stress is annoying. No one wants, everyone hopes to prevent it, and most people can’t get rid of it. It’s something that we encounter at many points in life, often when we least expect it. But what if I told you that stress, though challenging, can also be a catalyst for growth?
On this episode, we explore this together as we delve into the Word of God.
Let’s dive in.

Anxiety is a natural and common emotional response to stress, uncertainty, or perceived threats. It's a complex, multifaceted emotion that involves a sense of apprehension, unease, and worry. While it's a normal part of the human experience, excessive or chronic anxiety can lead to various mental and physical health issues.
Let me share a personal story to start us off.

Maturity isn’t about having everything together at once. It’s a journey, not a destination. And with that journey often comes discomfort, stretching, and growing pains. But, it’s also a journey of transformation, where God calls us to step into the fullness of who we’re meant to be. Sometimes we take big leaps forward, other times we’re crawling. No matter the pace, the key is not to resist that growth. Let's dive in!

A few years ago I pursued a BBL. Not the cosmetic one. I pursued a purposeful one that stands for "Big Beautiful Life." This episode is about pursuit. Because God is the ultimate big thinker, nothing you plan to pursue even compares to what He has in mind. So, how do you know what it is that God has for you? How do you go after what God has for you? And, how do you actually get that big, beautiful life? Let’s dive in.

Have you ever had the best day ever? But soon after you have the worst day ever? It's in those moments of obscurity where you start to question the quality of your life and ask if you are truly - fulfilled. And in those moments we forget that God works in our lives in ways that we cannot see to bring us to true fulfillment. Let's dive in.

Have you ever had your heart broken? I mean shattered to pieces. For any reason or relationship, you can experience heartbreak.
Whatever the occurrence or the reference, to be broken is never a choice. Because no one by definition wants to be reduced to fragments, ruptured, torn, fractured, functioning improperly, or operating out of working order. And if your lives resemble any of those cracks, it doesn’t feel safe to reveal them. So what happens when you experience brokenness? Let’s dive in.

Have you ever been called out for being selfish? Has anyone said you were being greedy? Are you self-serving at times? In many respects, we are naturally selfish and we must be intentional about being anything to the contrary. However, being self-less isn’t what we often think it is either. I am certain you want to learn the difference so let’s dive in.

Self-care. How necessary is it? When you address the importance of your self-care, you are admitting that there are spaces and voids that you cannot fill by following your regular daily routine. It requires you to create a regimen – nothing special or elaborate – but the kind of regimen that establishes the necessary boundaries so that self-care becomes a normal way of life. We always use the reference of what we are told to do in the event of a plane crash, or in this instance - in case of a life crash - that you should place the oxygen mask on yourself first but how do you know when it's time to grab the mask if you don’t know that you’re crashing because crashing is the norm, and it feels more like you’re cruising? Let’s dive in.

Rejection - we’ve all been through it. Whether in our careers or our relationships, we have experienced the sting of feeling unwanted or unloved. Rejection is a powerful tool of the enemy. Not only does rejection leave us wounded, it can affect our identity - how we see ourselves - and how we see God and His ability to heal those wounds of rejection. Let’s unpack how rejection forms and how we can recover.

Mental health and money are more connected now than ever. Mental health problems can make it harder to earn and manage your money, and debt can trigger or worsen conditions such as anxiety, depression and stress. Let’s explore how our financial decisions are informed by our mental health and how the status of our mental condition can affect us both positively and negatively when it comes to money.

The connections we have with other humans can be the greatest source of joy or our greatest source of pain. We often come to a place of reckoning with our mental health when a relationship in our lives has shifted - a dispute, a dysfunction, a death – its the interactions and the expectations in our relationships that can shine the light a path toward our healing or sink us into the darkness that delays our healing. Let’s look at the role relationships play in our mental health and how God may want us to respond.

The pursuit of healing is a very unique journey. We all have our own specific issues to acknowledge and overcome. Sometimes people are afraid to embark on the journey because they aren’t aware of the depth of their issues and how it affects their lives. Other times we are mindful that something isn’t quite right yet dismiss the sense to address those feelings and just accept them as a norm. The first thing we need to settle within ourselves is God’s desire and ability to heal. Let’s start at the beginning - the mind.

Being in a season of working is similar to being in a zone. It’s a time when God is ready to put us to work. You could have just shifted out of a season of wondering and in that time you gained clarity on what actions you needed to take next. Or you could have just shifted out of a season of waiting and you got the green light to move on a plan or decision. It’s the time when you shift and actively work toward the things that were revealed to you in previous seasons. This is the season where you function in obedience and maximize your excellence.

In seasons and shifts of life, there is a pattern to waiting effectively. But sometimes waiting can feel unbearable. Do you find it difficult to wait? Do you think God should be moving in ways other than how you see it happening at the moment? Are you in a season of waiting right now? How does it feel? Is it a peaceful, productive wait or is it a stressful, worry-filled wait? What have you learned about yourself in the moments where God doesn’t move exactly when you think he should?

Our minds are in a state of constant wonder and we just don’t know what will be the result of a moment or a series of moments - what they are leading to, where they are directing us from or how they will unfold. In season two, this series of episodes entitled Seasons & Shifts, we'll dive in to topics that help us expect the extraordinary in new seasons and pursue excellence in the midst of a shift. If you are wondering about the next season or the shift it might bring, how are you managing this period of the unknown while wondering what’s next or what’s ahead?

It’s hard to pursue excellence when you’re suffering from hate-filled racism fueled by anger and fear. It’s hard to feel like royalty when you're treated like a wild animal hunted as prey. It’s hard to believe that you are a king or a queen with your suffering due to the color of your skin. From one lifetime to the next. Generation to generation. Decade after decade. What should we say to black people right now? What should we expect from white allies? What about other people of color? How can we rise from pain and despair to empowerment and excellence in the face of racism and injustice?

Delay. Putting it off. Pushing it back. That assignment. That task. That thing. I’ll do it tomorrow. We appropriate many things for ‘tomorrow’ when, in fact, we don’t know the first thing about tomorrow. Truth is tomorrow is never for certain so being satisfied with how you left today is the other thing you can truly measure.Excellence is where your worth becomes who you are. It's not about proving yourself every single time instead it's about putting your best effort ahead of yourself every time. But what happens when procrastination gets the best of you? It does get the best of us from time to time. Whether it's doing laundry, making a phone call, writing a report, paying a bill - we are all prone to procrastination at some points. It's a tug of war between the rational and the emotional - what I’d like to be doing versus what I should be doing. So how do we keep procrastination from hindering our excellence?

Self-sabotage happens when you get in your own way. What area of your life are you sabotaging? What could be transformational and life-changing for you but you’re stalling the progress? What are you holding hostage right now? Over the years you may have accumulated some distorted beliefs about yourself that led to doubting your capabilities, suppressing your feelings, limiting your potential or shutting out those close to you. So how does self-sabotage happen? And how do we get out of our own way?

We have all been lied to. And we’ve all told a lie. We lie more than we think we think do. But what about the lies we tell ourselves? We can get caught in a vicious cycle of perpetuating horrible lies that point the finger in our own faces and hinder every bit of excellence we could achieve. So how do you undo the lies embedded in your mind that make you believe the worst about your own existence and identity?

As the whole entire world has been largely quarantining and social distancing due to the spread of the Coronavirus, we are confined to our homes and banished away from public settings. The time that we once used to work, travel, shop, dine and socialize is now swapped for being tucked away at home to cook, nap, clean, consume social media and watch Netflix. And since we seem to all of sudden have more time than we’d ever expect due to a potentially fatal virus sweeping the globe, most of us have gone from perpetually busy to painfully bored. So how do we manage our time and do it with excellence?

Many of us are wanting much more peace in our lives than we feel actually exists at the moment. In today’s time, peace can be an anomaly. This word “peace” is a very elusive and rare commodity. The equilibrium for stable peace in one’s life is way out of wack. Both excellence and peace are simple words to say, but sometimes so much more harder words to live, especially consistently. How does one find peace? Is it consistently achievable? And what does excellence have to do with peace?

Love is three things - a feeling, a choice and an action. Do you reject the love and care of others due to past hurts and pains? Do you give love and never really feel like you get it back? What’s the one thing you believe about love at this very moment in your life, and it is a feeling, a choice or an action based on current conditions and circumstances? How can you learn to love freely without conditions? Love is brave. It's the bravest thing we could ever think, feel or do. And, it's the key to excellence.

In every situation, fear can hinder your pursuit of excellence. And, the fear of excellence can shift your entire perspective on life. Does fear push you to play it safe, avoid trying anything new, or freeze into your comfort zones? Or do you live beyond fear, willing to accept the possible negative outcome and the hope that you’ll achieve excellence? We have the authority to speak against perpetual fear, doubt, uncertainty, timidity and anxiety. Beyond fear, we have the authority to reclaim our minds, our thoughts and our destiny.

We are better together. And we are safer together. Though society might tell us that we can do life on our own, God tells us that we simply can't function without each other. We need each other and we need relationships. Healthy relationships make life enjoyable perhaps more than anything else. We need them for our destiny. How do we get the right kind of relationships? Can you be the right kind of person in order to attract healthy relationships?

It’s inevitable that we’ll encounter people we find annoying or depressing or weird or clingy or even downright mean in our daily lives. Difficult people are everywhere. It’s probably not hard for you to think of a difficult person in your own life who recently or at this very moment is causing you stress, angst or discomfort. When dealing with difficult people, there are a series of strategies that we might use. What is your approach when it comes to handling difficult people with a mindset of excellence?

Excellence should appear in every facet of life. Righteousness is the evidence of excellence. There’s a constant awareness of falling short between excellence and mediocrity. And when it comes to God, that excellence is seen as righteousness. It has very little to do with getting things done and achieving worldly success, and everything to do with practicing personal humility and pursuing spiritual obedience. This truth should encourage you to level up and focus on pursuing excellence because how you do anything is how you do everything.

In today’s world, we have been trained to assume that if something does not come easily to us, there must be something wrong. Every decision we make from technology to money to our careers to our relationships, we generally assume that if it’s not happening with ease or it feels unfair, then we’re experiencing a struggle. And naturally we believe struggle is bad. It’s impossible to live a life of excellence without struggle so we’ll talk about what means to tackle hardships with hope.

The opportunity to do a heart check is always worth taking advantage of - identifying what is in and on your heart and why. To pursue excellence, searching our hearts and making our desires free and pure is a fundamental approach. Every human alive has a desire of their heart. They aspire to be, they hope to become, they strive to do, something that is in their heart. Many of us are longing for more, we dare to dream, we hold the promise of prosperity. Each of us has a deep, heartfelt desire but how do we actually receive the desires of our hearts?
