This episode has truly been a long time coming with a lot of hard convictions that I was not really ready to face. Have you ever wandered so far in your thoughts thinking about your future and how you just want to skip to the time when things actually become better? I know that feeling, so much so that I have been lost in that moment forgeting that it is God's desire that I live a full and abundant life even in the imperfect and uncertain "NOW" Tune in to learn on what this means.

One of the many things that I have questioned about life or really about the concepts that the world is constantly shoving down our throats is Manifestation. What is Manifestation? What is this idea that the world seems to have that if you supposedly will something to existence it will happen? Or that if you focus your "postive thoughts" and send them out to the "universe" then good things, your desires will be reciprocated in equal measure? What does that even mean? In our journeys to living fu...

It's that time of the year when everyone is looking back at their resolutions and goals for 2023 and really reflecting on how the year has been for them. December is often the month of reflection and for some even planning for the year ahead. Social media is flooded with many memes of "We try again next year", because as many people have already realized, life really doesn't turn out to be exactly how we want it all the time. But are we really going to be singing the same song come 2024? Are we ...

If you had asked me years ago how I defined grief, it would be the feeling of immense sadness and sorrow that comes after one loses someone to death. Today however, I now know grief as not only the sorrow that comes after losing a loved one but also losing a future that might never be. In this episode, we ask the question, "What happens when the future you planned for yourself, turns out to be different from what God has for you?" It easy to make plans for the future so much so that we do not kn...

One of the most difficult lessons that I have had to learn as a follower of Christ even as I pursue a life of abundance is obedience. As children it was expected and often demanded of us to be obedient to our parents and people who held positions of authority. But as we grow older, as we come to the realization that we have a will of our own, that we want to have some level of control over our lives, obedience becomes a mere word that barely holds the kind of weight it actually does... In this e...

It has often been said that we are our very own biggest enemies. But do we really understand what that means? When it comes to living a life of abundance, there are so many things that may hold us back including our own selves. And how does this manifest itself?

Hey you! Since Quarter 1 of the year is quickly drawing to a close, I decided to do a check in episode of how the past 3 months of 2023 have been so far. How have you been?
