Church Dropout: Recent Episodes
Earnestine
Today I want to introduce to you the concept of 3D Immunity Building.
In 3D Immunity Building, we focus on building up our physical, soul and spiritual immune systems.
We are still in a pandemic, and flu season is right around the corner. All of this dis-ease is not only wearing down our physical selves, but our soul selves (our mind, will and emotions) and spirit selves are clearly suffering as well. Focusing on all 3 parts of our beings will help to create a more holistic immune system to fight some of this dis-ease on multiple levels.

This is that "Tithe Show" I've been wanting to do ....sort of.
All of the contention and division and bullying and division that has bombarded our atmosphere the last week, really put some things into perspective. We don't need to demonize others to prove a point or to move forward. We just simply move forward.
In the wake of the pandemic, the issue of the teaching of Tithes was weighing heavy on me. A correct teaching of the practice, would have provided a different result for a lot of people-I believe. Today I'm going to present what I believe the system was created to be. A true storehouse for the community.
This past week I had a chance to speak with author Brandee Turner. In this episode, I share with you our discussion on living with and overcoming generational mental disease, substance abuse, discrimination in mental health and her new book Invisible Shifts.
About my guest:
A phenomenally beautiful, and intelligent woman of faith, Brande’e Turner, also known as Brandee is a wife and a mom of three lovely children. She is a natural born leader who enjoys encouraging those that she comes in contact with. Brandee is a mentor with Young Women of Promise Inc, a program that provides young ladies with God-centered mentoring; and an active participant of Alliance of Extraordinary Woman, an organization whose goal is to educate, motivate, and elevate women to a new and better reality. Brandee has been one that many people look up to, and they value her advice. She does not take this unofficial role for granted – she recognizes the importance of having that support system at no cost or obligation. She stands on the promise of unconditional love and wants others to do the same. Brandee’s mission at 40 is to continue to push pass generational barriers and start to explore and create generational wealth and stability for her family. She will continue to lean on God to complete the narrative of her life.

Today, July 25th, on the Mayan Calendar is called "The Day Out of Time". On that calendar, today is the last day of the Lunar and Galactic year. The Mayan Calendar follows a 13 month, 28 days per month, 364 day year. The 365th day is July 25th and this day is said to be the "bridge" or the Day out of Time-a Free day between the old and the new.
In this episode, I share some tips on how I celebrate this Free Day and how you can use this time to rid yourself of things that no longer serve you.

In Yoruba spirituality, ORI which literally translates as “your head," is the center of of your asé (the divine power) of God that lives within you.

One of the ways that the Church keeps people engaged and in submission is the use of prophesy. For those of you like me who have history in the charismatic church particularly, you may have been just as I was-a Prophet chaser. Going from church to church, conference to conference, just to get a "word". And now that we are no longer in the church, some of us have seek to fill the void of the prophetic chasing other spiritual people-empaths, mediums, astrologers, diviners,etc-looking for the same direction and confirmation that held us in bondage in the church.
In the next two episodes, I want to share with you how to become your own spiritual authority. The "word" you seek, has already been revealed to you; you just haven't been able to hear it.

Every single woman in the Church has been told that if she patiently waits long enough, God would surely send her a Boaz. But how does that work when you realize that Boaz is dead and God has no plans to resurrect him for you?
