“For the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.” Psalm 84:11.

Don't let social media or comparison steal your joy! We are all on different paths in life and that is OK! Life takes us all on different journeys for different purposes to be fulfilled. Even though it may be hard and frustrating, we must learn to enjoy the ride and be content where we find ourselves even if it's not where we thought we would be. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

New Years resolutions! We've all wrote a list and we've all failed at keeping up with the list. THAT'S OKAY! It's the thought that counts right? LOL.

There are a lot of campaigns, spokespersons, advocates, that speak up about self love and how important it is, but let's face it, those voices are drowned out by the ones who plaster the “picture perfect” person on magazines, tv shows, facebook. Or on a personal level, when it's your dad making jokes, you friend saying you would look prettier if you..., or your boyfriend cheating on you. All these things make it really difficult to love ourselves. Yet, loving ourselves is crucial. So in this episode we're going to talk about how to love ourselves and why it's important. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Do you know what makes you, you? Do you know who you are, who you really are? There are seven things that make up our identity. Religion, ethnic background, values and beliefs, occupation and hobbies, physical attributes. These combined usually shape us into who we are today. But sometimes things happen, we go through something and it changes us. We get lost, and we have a really hard time finding our way back to who we were. But the reality is, we can't really go back, can we? So much has changed. So what do we do? How do we deal with that? How can we avoid this from happening?  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Closure, we all want it. We want the answers to those questions floating in our heads, the ones that don't let us sleep at night, the ones that seem to hold us back. But do we actually need it?

It's that thing, the person, that bad habit that is poisoning our lives. It's stealing our peace, joy, sanity and turning us into something we're not.

Well faithful fam, meet toxicity. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

It can be hard to get over things that hurt you, made you angry, or caused you harm. We almost can't help dwelling on the pain, the resentment.

Well in this episode we're going to talk about how to cut the crap and get over what ever is holding you back. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In this episode, I am going to be talking about brokenness. I think we are all broken in one way or another. There are many of us who have been carrying brokenness since our childhood which has carried over into adulthood and it's damaging our relationships. Until we don't come to terms with our brokenness and get to the root of the problem, our brokenness will continue to weigh us down and interfere with our growth. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
