Matthew 26 (Bible)
The story of Judas Iscariot is filled with lessons on what not to do in life. lol
On a serious note however, we are to believe fully in the Son of God(Jesus) follow him faithfully to the end, always turning back to him for forgiveness, no matter what happens.
The story of Judas reminds us that nothing good can come from giving up on Jesus Christ. He is of supreme value, and following him is worth any cost.

Song Featured- Lauren Daigle "Love Like This"
You might be wondering what love is after many failed attempts of trying to find it. God is the very definition of love, but just incase you need more details in identifying love 1 Corinthians 13:4–8 explains the details of what love entails:
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not [a]puffed up; 5does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, [b]thinks no evil; 6does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.
*Do not hold me to the pronunciation of these name and places lol. Thank You.

Song: "God's Not Done With You" by Tauren Wells
Make God the author of your story. Why?
Because he's the best in the business.
Romans 8:28
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
Song featured "You get the Glory by Jonathan Traylor"
God was with Joseph as he is still with us today.
God is with you through the good and bad times, however, its through the bad times that we must remember his promises "The LORD himself goes before you, he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid , do not be discouraged" Deuteronomy 31:8
Being on God's side doesn't mean you won't have sad days, or go through hard times but their is peace in knowing that whatever you are going through is working out for good.
I hope you enjoy this episode and the song selection! Thank You for your support and I appreciate every time you listen. -Love Shan
Song Featured " I'm Coming Alive by Saddleback Worship"
Just as in Joseph story we all go through low points when we are consumed by hurt, pain and unforgiveness. What can we possibly do in moments like these but wait on God to finish our story? Joseph brothers hated him, they sold him, he became a slave, got promoted, ended up in jail due to a false accusation.
Through it all Joseph remained faithful to God.
My tone of voice would not change in recording this episode and I attempted it twice, I was going through a low point while I was recording as well, however, I hope you can pull as much lessons as possible from this point in the story. Going through it is no excuse to do sloppy work and not do your best regardless of the task or position you are in.
Featured Song: "Rescue" Lauren Daigle
Matthew 18:23-35, Genesis 39
Proverb 17:9 "Love prospers when a fault is forgiven"
Forgiveness is never an easy act to perform, but unforgiveness hides the keys to your blessings.
Try praying about it and begin your forgiveness journey.....
Song Featured: "Bits and Pieces"- JP Cooper
We've all seen the memes and posts talking about "MY HATERS".
Having hate and envy directed towards you is not easy to handle mentally, it may bring sadness and frustration especially when you are just working towards achieving the goals your ambition propels. However, even with the presence of envy/'badmind' in your life God is still painting your success and he can turn your brokenness into greatness.

Have you ever been in a situation where you just can't seem to hear what someone is saying? Maybe it's as a result of a noisy environment or the distance to which you are standing. Life sometimes makes it hard to hear the sound of Peace (God), and you get frustrated and flustered because you feel as if he's not there to help you through your hard times, but the simple solution is to move closer until you're able to hear his message to you clearly".
