The truth that will change you, will probably first offend you. This episode will be nothing like you expected. It will probably ruffle some feathers and shake things up, but for the better. If we want different, we've got to be different. I'll be talking all things purpose, faith, human relations, motivation and more! Time to go against the current!
Too many times we let things that Jesus dealt with take our vote at the table, be it pride, shame, condemnation or guilt and that often causes us to keep self-sabotaging because we blame. God requires us to show up to the table as our authentic selves and how we get to that authenticity is one - by correction... correction from other imperfect people. Where you are supposed to vote 'yes' that you were wrong, vote 'yes' - don't let anything distract you from taking your place, owning up to your wrong and allowing yourself to grow. Those correcting you are not perfect, yes they have a splinter in their own eye but them pointing the splinter in your eye isn't pleading ignorance/innocence of their own but it also doesn't disqualify them from speaking the truth about what caused the splinter to be lodged in your eye. Truth is truth is truth and sin is sin is sin.
This is definitely a DIFFERENT perspective, do enjoy!
Egypt, aka our BC lives. We all come from somewhere, God saved us and is still saving us from some thing(s), ebile some things we fell into after we said "I do" to Jesus but the fact remains - that salvation is a process, not a one-time thing. In this process of salvation, we need people who will help us attain and sustain the change that comes from it but it's not always so. In this episode I talk to and about the people who are our support systems, pillars, accountability partners, friends and family, whoever - who we've trusted and are trusting to sharpen and help us in our walk of faith but have cowered to society's pressures and expectations. We are called to love one another but that love isn't void of us correcting each other. Correction ≠ judgement. The Word remains our foundation and Jesus our standard, so our love can never be love to our neighbour but disobedience to God, we can't love people more than God and we can't hate sin more than God so we need to stop being inclusive at the expense of what God has commanded. Let's pressure each other positively!

A fence divides, it is a sure distinction of separate territories and we can either choose our territory or sit on the fence... But no fence is steady enough to hold our weight forever - there comes a day where we must decide where we stand. In this episode I talk about some fences that many are sitting on and what the Word of God says on those fences.
This is a continuation of the conversation about New Age and what we need to look out for so we are not lead astray by doctrines that aren't in line with the Word of God. The adversary is no creator, he is only an imitator, so New Age takes from what God has created to be tools in our lives as believers and twists it to serve the kingdom of darkness, so we must be aware.
Our generation is not like that of our parents and grandparents, we are more liberal and open-minded, eager to try out new things. A lot of us are trying to find ways to get to our highest consciousness, live on the correct frequency and exude good vibes. I can't say everyone is doing it for the right reasons but there are many who are, but I don't know if all that's been presented with New Age is all there is to know. Oksalayo, at the end of the day everything is spiritual before it is physical and that doesn't change when it comes to 'bringing in the white light.' In this episode I ask 3 crucial questions that can perhaps change your perspective on practicing New Age as a believer of Jesus and even as an unbeliever of Jesus.
The mine that is the mind. Everything and everyone seeks to lease or own it, so we have to guard it. The mind doesn't feed itself, we have the reins over that so it's our responsibility to determine its appetite. In this episode I continue talking about the government of the mind, the gates to soul and how to manage that in the world we are in. We have the victory in Christ, therefore we fight from victory not for victory.
We live in a world of systems, control systems - and because of them we live a certain way. The higher we go up the rank of power and influence, the more we have control over these systems but question is.. What exactly do they have control over? I speak about this in this episode, the external influencers of our lives. This isn't a conversation about politics, but it is. Not politics as you know it.
Influence is a gift, not a right. And with every gift, comes responsibility. Just like we have been given freedom doesn't mean we should go anything and everything we can - we ought to practice stewardship and use what we have been given well. In this episode I talk about recognizing influence and how each and every one of us has it, no matter how big or small - we are not alone in this world and should stop living like it. Somebody is always watching, whether we like it or not, let us use our influence for good. This is not to say we must be perfect, but that we must live with consciousness to the truth of influence and with God's help we can do a good job with it.
Familiarity has robbed us of access to many gold mines. If only we looked up to notice, we would see that tomorrow's pioneers, A-List stars, Forbes' cover men and women are actually in our midst. We have to use a different pair of eyes to see this though. With the world we live in and Cancel Culture being so strong, you could find that you've trampled over pearls... But thank God for time and repentance right? In this episode I continue on the topic of not being self-made, how to protect your energy and the power of recognition.
We need people, that's the end-in-all of life. We can't live life as an island. In this day, it has become a 'shame' to need people, relationship has been re-defined to be another form of exchange that will be just a means to an end but there's so much more to explore - about others and ourselves. In this episode I talk about being proud to not be self-made, because what a privilege it is to have other people take part in building the person God has purposed me to be.
