You have to at least hear the last 5 minutes when Victory poops her diaper LOUDLY. But this is all about a post we saw about spiritual discernment, character, intentions, and relationships that is both so liked but so OFF we had to talk about it.

Spoilers. Theology. Life. The baby needs to eat so end of description

Thoughts from a morning reading of 1 Timothy 4… What glory will God get if you wait til' you're perfect in your gifts? Let people see your progress.

Sitting in some Thanksgiving Weekend traffic we talk money, getting married young, ministry, and lots of randomness in between

Today I share my experience as a youth worker with Black teens as well as my experience with faith leaders who are uncomfortable with the issues of race. I want us to be able to move past uncomfortable, because the Body of Christ’s absence is part of the problem. Yet, it’s presence is the solution.

A quick piece on getting things done! Not a how-to guide, but a realization of the importance of the simple things on our to-do lists. A writing that I recorded just for you :)

A quick pop up of encouragement: It’s ok and and important to be honest with the state of your heart (fearful, distracted, distressed, joyful, expecting, longing). And God loves it, and cares for it. Quickie but a goodie.

Taking a quick look at the woman anointing Jesus with costly perfume, this episode is about not being shy or stingy with the gifts and talents God has given you. Pour them out even if it looks a little “crazy.”

What is my role in my family, especially when we treat each other as less than family? Today is a look into Jospeh’s family. Also featuring discussion on how the church plays a role in family, and the divine balance of family with the call of God on our lives.

Today I share my experience growing up as a mixed race adopted kid in an interracial family. Also some spoken word, unnecessary and apologetic digs at Curtis’ singing, confessions of deep love for In N Out Burger, and how my story connects to my faith story.

Talking about insecurities and walls as a woman called to preach and teach, and how God uses those walls as opportunities for something great. Also how to “catch” someone slain in the spirit, how to get out of a traffic jam in the wilderness, stealing Curtis’ jokes, and a new take on the battle of Jericho from Joshua 6.

How do we get beyond “turning on” our Bibles, and helping youth love and understand it on their own? Is it just an encyclopedia of cool quotes or a true gift to be loved and grasped for themselves? Today let’s help our youth take ownership over their knowledge of scripture, and of their faith as a whole.

Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston said “There Can Be Miracles” in the Prince of Egypt.... But is that really still true today? A look into the book of Exodus and beyond....
