On today's episode, I discuss the importance of trusting God to guide you and remain your focus when you give Him your yes.
Core Scripture: “And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”” (Matthew 14:28-31 NKJV)

In this episode I sit down with Funmi Olatunji as we recap on 2023 and some of the lessons that were learned this year.
“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,” Let Israel now say—" (Psalms 124:1 NKJV)
In this episode I discuss the cost of giving your all to God and what that may look like.
“David said to Araunah, “Let me buy this threshing floor from you at its full price. Then I will build an altar to the Lord there, so that he will stop the plague.” “Take it, my Lord the king, and use it as you wish,” Araunah said to David. “I will give the oxen for the burnt offerings, and the threshing boards for wood to build a fire on the altar, and the wheat for the grain offering. I will give it all to you.” But King David replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on buying it for the full price. I will not take what is yours and give it to the Lord. I will not present burnt offerings that have cost me nothing!”” (1 Chronicles 21:22-24 NLT)
On this episode, I talk about the natural flow of times and seasons; and what God requires out of us during our in-betweens.

“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Hebrews 12:1-2 NKJV)

“With my whole heart, with my whole life, and with my innermost being, I bow in wonder and love before you, the holy God!” (Psalms 103:1 TPT)
This week, I discuss the issue of unbelief and how it is easier to believe that God can do great works through us, then believing that He is capable of doing great works in us.
“Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!"” (Mark 9:23-24 NKJV)
In this episode, I sit back down with Funmi Olatunji to talk about what happens when Gold begins to reveal to you what you were made for. We discuss about how important the processing season is and why you cannot afford to miss the beginning, middle, and end of your processing.
“To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:”
(Ecclesiastes 3:1 NKJV)
In this episode, I sit down and discuss with Funmi Olatunji about the popular question that is going around right now about what we were made for. We talk about God's perspective and what He has to say about discovering purpose.
“For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. [Deut. 4:29-30.]” (Jeremiah 29:11-13 AMPC)

In this episode, we expand even deeper into our "It Is Written" series as we discuss God as our great defense and how we can find peace in knowing we are fully defended and covered by God.
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15 KJV)
This week, we go further into our “It Is Written” series and discuss the infamous question of “Who Am I?” I talk about how scripture paints a clear picture on how God sees us and who we are created to be.

In this episode, I discuss with Funmi on the topic of Heaven being able to vouch for you when your name is being mentioned. We talked about how nothing we do really matters if Heaven is not even pleased with us.
“But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”” (I Samuel 16:7 NKJV)
In honor of this past resurrection weekend, we sit down and discuss the many great sacrifices and acts of love that God is willing to take to get us home to Him.
“The Lord appeared to me (Israel) from ages past, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you. Again I will build you and you will be rebuilt, O Virgin Israel! You will again be adorned with your tambourines and timbrels And go out to the dances of those who celebrate.” (Jeremiah 31:3-4 AMP)
In this week's episode, we sit down and discuss the consequences of lukewarmness and why we should stand for something so we don't fall for anything.
“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.” (Revelation 3:15-16 NKJV)
In this week's episode, I talk about how your "why" is as important as your "yes" when it comes to your relationship with Christ.
“Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world. (John 4:42 NKJV)
In this week's episode, I sit down with Luryn John-Miller as we discuss how God uses every part of our stories and turns it into testimonies.
“My fellow believers, when it seems as though you are facing nothing but difficulties, see it as an invaluable opportunity to experience the greatest joy that you can! For you know that when your faith is tested it stirs up in you the power of endurance. And then as your endurance grows even stronger, it will release perfection into every part of your being until there is nothing missing and nothing lacking.” (James 1:2-4 TPT)
This week's episode is the second part to episode 1 entitled, "It's A Heart Issue." I sit down and discuss with Funmi Olatunji about the importance of the heart and why it has EVERYTHING to do with intimacy.
“So above all, guard the affections of your heart, for they affect all that you are. Pay attention to the welfare of your innermost being, for from there flows the wellspring of life.” (Proverbs 4:23 TPT)
In this episode, I discuss what it means to be a quality and committed lover when it comes to our marriage with Christ. I touch on how to be a better lover and some of things God desires out of us as the bride of Christ.
"I want you to show love, not offer sacrifices. I want you to know me, more than I want burnt offerings." (Hosea 6:6 NLT)
In this weeks episode, I sit down with my mom, Pastor Wumi Ademola to discuss what it means to commit to loving Christ and what a lifestyle of love actually looks like when you choose Christ.
“We love Him because He first loved us.” (I John 4:19 NKJV)
In this week's episode, I discuss with Comfort on how God cannot be interested in what you do for His name, if first, you cannot love in His name.
"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body [a]to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing."
(1 Corinthians 13:1-3 NKJV)
In this episode, I talk about the grace of God and how all that we are and all that we do, we owe it to God and have Him to thank for it.
John replied, “A man can receive nothing [he can claim nothing at all] unless it has been granted to him from heaven [for there is no other source than the sovereign will of God]." (John 3:27 AMP)
In this episode, I discuss with Funmi on how the pursuit of perfection can lead to forgetting our first love, Christ.
“Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment.”
(Matthew 22:37-38 NKJV)
In this episode, I talk about the importance of understanding the nature of God and how the confidence in who He says He is, is solidified through intimacy.

Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you." (Jeremiah 31:3 AMP)

In this week’s episode, I sit down and discuss with Elizabeth Olatunji about the narrow road to choosing Jesus that is often less traveled and why it makes all of the difference.
“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." (Matthew 7:13-14 ESV)
