Keys To The Game

Hey Family,I pray this blesses you — for real.I've been sitting with something heavy, and it started after watching the clip of Summer from Baddies saying something reckless about Emmett Till. That comment? Wildly disrespectful. And my heart breaks for his family. But you know what hit me even deeper?It shouldn't take a moment like that for us to open our eyes.People were up in arms (as they should be), but why did it take this for us to finally say out loud what so many of us already knew — that Zeus Network and shows like Baddies have been feeding us toxic content for way too long?We deserve better.Our girls deserve better.Our legacy deserves better.I could rant about how media is failing us. I could go off about how we need to protect our culture and call our community higher. But instead of just venting, I'm doing what I was called to do — be a solution.So I created something. A resource rooted in real talk and biblical truth. It's based on my article “The Beauty of Being Set Apart” from the March/April 2025 issue — and it's something I pray every woman and girl who feels overlooked, forgotten, or called to stand out will sit with.

Since there are three prayers left, I figured it was best to put them in one post for the last Friday in February. March is our paid content month, so I want to be sure to give everything free now that should be free. Plus, March will feature some dope, fresh content and you'll want to press in. January and February were awesome months to build a powerful prayer life by listening to our prayers, but I pray you also wrote out some of your own.Remember, prayer is simply talking to God. I always encourage people to pray scriptures because God's word can't return void (Isaiah 55:10-11). If you're ever at a loss for words, pray The Word. Don't compare your prayer life to anyone else's and listen just as much as you speak. Prayer is a two-way conversation. Sometimes, you may feel compelled to be quiet during your prayer time because God is talking. Keep a journal and be sure to listen. Rejection Prayer Call - Dealing with the spirit of rejectionRemember The Goal Prayer Call - Why we do what we doRemember, our March issue will provide three monthly posts in our Faith Fit section, but all other sections will be for paid subscribers only. If this is your first time reading one of our articles, you can read the subscription details here:$9.99/month for all the sections (Health Hits, Faith Fit, Business Blueprint, Soul Entertainment, Kay's Korner and our Girls Anthem Roundtable)You can also visit our About Page for the details.

This prayer call blessed me deeply. One of my assignments over the last three years has been praying for men in the body of Christ. As women, we have a special opportunity to influence our men by being prayer warriors and creating a healthy environment for their hearts. Last month, when the January/February double issue was released, there was an article that talked about how speaking life to our men creates healthy environments. I encourage you to go back and read it after listening to this prayer call. Remember, this applies to all men in our lives, not just husbands. Healthy men of God are the foundation of healthy families and healthy communities. Hey family! With all that's going on with social media, God had me create a channel over on WhatsApp. Join the channel for FREE!

We work so hard to learn and speak our loved one's love languages, forgetting that God has one as well. Romans 12:1 talks about what our reasonable service is - which is to present our bodies as a living sacrifice to God. I pray as you listen to this call you allow the Holy Spirit to reveal areas of your life that aren't surrendered to Him. I felt led to share a song with this post. “Another Surrender” by Woman Evolve Worship and Naomi Raine. I believe worship and prayer go hand-in-hand. Let this song minister to you as you meditate on the scriptures from the call. Love you!Another SurrenderHave you grabbed our first double-issue magazine for January/February?

There's been an attack on women's confidence since the days of Adam and Eve. A lot of the women God has used me to minister to over the last five or so years have all struggled with confidence. I noticed a pattern. A lot of times the enemy uses the circumstances you go through to take a hit at your confidence. I believe he does this because once your confidence takes a hit, your faith takes one. It's hard to believe in God's plan for your life if you're struggling to believe in yourself.I pray this call blesses you; and remember, confidence isn't cockiness. It's having a healthy view of yourself and standing in your God-given identity and authority 24/7. This is a public episode.

I know we want to get rid of the things that are holding us back once we get a taste of freedom. I know what that feels like. I remember when I first started going through deliverance and I got set free from a spirit that had tormented me since childhood, I just wanted to rush through everything and get it over with. One of the best gifts God could've ever given me was having to walk out my deliverance. You didn't get in it overnight. Be patient with yourself and your healing. Thanks for reading Girls Anthem!

If there's one thing we notice in January, in addition to everyone setting weight loss goals, it's the ambition to fast and pray. For this month, I wanted to include some of the magazine articles in our Monday blog, Faith Fit, which you receive weekly. But God placed it on my heart to release Girls Anthem prayer calls each week to encourage you in your prayer life. Believe it or not, many believers struggle to pray consistently. With January being a month when people join some kind of fast, I wanted to encourage you to build a successful prayer life. It doesn't matter if you turn down your plate for 21 days if your prayer life isn't flourishing. Over the next eight weeks, you'll gain access to the prayer call I ran back in April 2024. For four months, I gathered with women and prayed every Sunday. If you purchased the PDF or print copy of the holiday issue, you would've received a link to a prayer bundle that included all the prayers. Now, everyone will have access to those prayers, although I encourage you to purchase the issue. The prayer in this article is on Forgiveness. Each prayer includes me teaching on the topic before praying, so be sure to grab your journals.I also want to make a special announcement. Starting in March, Girls Anthem Magazine will offer paid subscriptions. While the Faith Fit section, the Monday articles, will continue to be free, the other sections (Health Hits, Soul Entertainment, Business Blueprint, and a new section, Kay's Korner), will cost. Our subscription model is as follows:$9.99/month for all the sections (including, exclusive visual/audio interviews and our Girls Anthem Roundtable)I know times are challenging, but I encourage you to ask God where to invest your subscriptions this season. I canceled Netflix in one season of my life to subscribe to Woman Evolve TV. If I can spend $10-15/month on entertainment, I can invest in my spirit. This is in no way meant to be a guilt trip, just a nudge for you to take inventory.Here's an overview of what each section entails. You can also listen or read the current articles under those sections for a taste of what you'll get. Remember, this goes into effect on March 1, 2025. * Faith Fit (The Voice of Encouragement) - the official, free weekly newsletter* Health Hits - Health and wellness from a biblical perspective* Soul Entertainment - Focuses on faith-based entertainment, including books, movies, and television shows that glorify God. We will also feature women of faith in entertainment.* Business Blueprint - For women serious about their business, whether family business or finances, the business and finance section of Girls Anthem Magazine features articles and interviews on home and family management, banking, real estate, entrepreneurship, stewardship, and investing.* Kay's Korner - Coming in March, this section is where Mya Kay will share personal essays, blog posts, and exclusive celebrity interviews. This space will include written, audio, and visual entertainment. Girls Anthem Roundtable will also be included in this section. Our roundtable features discussions with other women of faith and will give the experience of being a part of an inner circle or VIP experience at a conference. Remember, print and PDF copies will still be available for purchase. If you find that a monthly subscription is too much right now, the articles will be in the print version of the magazine (all except the roundtable and Kay's Korner). PDF Magazine: $5.99Print Magazine: $12.99PS Please excuse the audio files still being labeled as The Girl Files. When I first started on this platform, I had a podcast called The Girl FIles. I'm still speaking with the tech team to fix this issue so that there's no confusion with the branding. Bear with us as we navigate this new terrain. Thanks for reading Girls Anthem!

Hey Girls Anthem,It's HERE! Our first full issue for Girls Anthem magazine. First, I felt led to put a spin on “Home for The Holidays” for our feature story for our Holiday and Beyond issue. When we think of going “home” for the holidays, we often picture people traveling to visit family in other cities or states. However, many of us are experiencing another holiday without those we loved deeply. I asked two friends to join me in a virtual panel discussion on grief and its many forms. Here are some of the things we discussed:* Our current grief strategies (how we deal with grief when it bum-rushes us)* Grieving what we thought would be * City grief (how to deal with coming from/living in communities where a principality of murder resides)* How to manage your grief and put up boundaries when you're the “strong friend”* How to manage grief as a mom (Erica and Paige are both boy moms)* Friendship grief (the difference between the relationship having to come to a permanent end vs. when God separates it for a season to purify it, etc.)* and more!Tune in and grab your notebooks. The last two articles in our “When Fruit Speaks” series will be published on the website on December 23rd and 29th. If you enjoy our holiday issue, share it with family and friends. Please encourage them to subscribe to Girls Anthem magazine. If you want to share how this discussion blessed you, comment below!

This one is for the single adults. While pursuing purpose, goals and dreams, we can often stumble in maintaining our purity along the way. The goal of purity isn't just about us not having sex or satisfying our sexual desires, but it's about us creating a new rhythm for our bloodlines that eliminates the perversion, lust and sin many of us were exposed to. God isn't mad at us when we stumble in this area, but He wants us to recognize that there is a measure of faith and commitment needed to conquer this area once and for all. This is the final episode and final season of The Goal Files. Please subscribe to my new podcast, The Mya Kay Show. Follow me @writermya

In this episode, I discuss what God downloaded in my spirit about the difference between an entrepreneur and a leader. Many of us who have an entrepreneur mantle on our lives also have a leadership mantle.

You'll want to grab your notebooks because this episode will have you rethinking your business strategies and showing up differently in your business. Some notes: Entrepreneurs 1) Build businesses 2) Produce services or products that bring in increase 3) Analyze data to improve processes and systems 4) Create revenue streams to increase profits Leaders 1) Build people 2) Produce influence that creates increase 3) Analyze data to improve leadership skills, processes and systems 4) Create opportunities for those under them to increase in all areas Follow me @writermya and follow the movement @girlsanthemllc.  This is the last season of The Goal Files.

The Cokeville Miracle is an astounding true story about survival in the face of unimaginable terror. On May 16th, 1986, in the small town of Cokeville, Wyoming, David and Doris Young entered the local elementary school with a bomb and held the entire school hostage in one room. In the mayhem that followed after the bomb was detonated, but not one hostage was killed and the parents must put their skepticism aside as children start to tell stories of how they survived. How is it possible for a packed building to explode yet leave no casualties? Lori Conger is our special guest for today's episode. We discussed what happened that frightful day almost 36 years ago, how she handled the aftermath of being a survivor and where her relationship with God is now. If you struggle with your faith and believing God during difficult seasons, tune in to this episode.  You can watch The Cokeville Miracle on Amazon Prime or YouTube for free.  Follow us: @writermya & @girlsanthemllc Sign up for my newsletter and receive 2 free gifts

Before the transition to "The Goal Files", I interviewed the young, talented and beautiful Amajae Hardy Jones, a rising actress from Philadelphia. Most known for her breakthrough role in the feature film, "Fels High" (2021), Amajae has trained with some of the most elite acting coaches in the game and continues to hone her craft day in and day out. With six years of film and theater acting under her belt, Amajae is a forced to be reckoned with, on and off stage. In our exclusive interview, she discusses how important her relationship with Christ is to her and how it impacts the roles she takes on; why she chose not to go to college after high school and of course, her journey in the Hollywood business so far.

In this episode, Mya breaks down the last 3 areas (pornography, anger, gossip) that people get tripped up in after they've received deliverance. She also breaks down steps to implement to maintain your deliverance in these areas. Matthew 12:43-45 (TPT), Courtesy of Biblegateway.com 43 “When a demon is cast out of a person, it roams around a dry region, looking for a place to rest, but never finds it. 44 Then it says, ‘I’ll return to the house I moved out of,’ and so it goes back, only to find that the house is vacant, warm, and ready for it to move back in. 45 So it goes looking for seven other demons more evil than itself, and they all enter together to live there. Then the person’s condition becomes much worse than it was in the beginning. This describes what will also happen to the people of this evil generation.” How do we maintain our deliverance once we've been set free from (addictions, habits, toxic relationships, anger, pornography, gossip, etc.)? There's no one size fits all response, but one thing is clear - we can't just leave our houses empty after they've been swept clean. Listen now!

In this episode, Mya concludes with the last three pieces of armor that Paul discusses in Ephesians 6:10-18. Teen girls can fight the good fight of faith when they have an understanding of what they're up against culturally, spiritually and physically. As parents, you don't have to shove The Gospel down your child's throat, if: 1) You're living what you're preaching; 2) You give them Christ in a way that they can understand Him and the Word; and, 3) You lead them to resources that help them draw closer to God (even if that resource doesn't appeal to you) Strategies for Teen Girls: 4) Shield of Faith - Having your shield of faith in place is one of the greatest ways to fight the enemy 5) Helmet of Salvation - Salvation is the first line of defense in protecting you against the enemies lies, but salvation is so much more than just “I’m saved”. Salvation is a full-package deliverance deal that unfolds as we travel along our journey. 6) Sword of The Spirit - What word of God have you hidden in your heart that you might not sin against Him?

In this episode, I discuss three different experiences in my life that made me realize the importance of filling my empty spaces with God and only God. Key points: Voids are inevitable. As long as we live on this earth, there will always be voids. A void is anything that leaves a space in our lives that's yearning to be filled; voids come via loss or from not having something we desire or need Unless you fill those empty spaces with Christ, you will never be filled. At age 27, I encountered God in a new way and that's when I realized I had been chasing ghosts. Scripture references: Luke 4:21-30 and John 4 Question (Homework): How has God satisfied my thirst? Scriptures to meditate on: Daniel 6:3, Proverbs 22:29; 1 Peter 2:9 Girl File Honoree: Lauren Simmons, @lasimmons (Instagram) Follow me: @writermya and the movement, @girlsanthemmovement Girls Anthem is now offering one-on-one and other coaching sessions!

In the second episode of season 2, I keep the momentum going by discussing how hard it is to pursue the dream God places in your heart when it starts to look like a nightmare. I discuss what a God-given dream is and break down a little of Joseph's story (Genesis 37-50) and anchor the episode in Genesis 50:20. Key gem: Some of you have a dream attached to the lives of many people and there is no way you can get there without God sending you through the fire. 3 Ways to Honor the Dream (even when it looks like a nightmare...) 1) Document God's vision and keep great footnotes 2) Stay connected to the source. 3) Rest when needed, but breakthrough on time. Lastly, I share my testimony about having Covid-19 recently and how God pushed me through to release "Warring For My Girls" on schedule. I've since tested NEGATIVE and am completely healed. Praise God, Saints! Girl File Honoree: Me! Sometimes, after you've been through hell and back, you gotta pat yourself on the back!
