The Cognizant Way is a podcast series that aims to educate & discuss the idea of living a life that is Cognizant. The word Cognizant embodies the awareness, persistence, and ambition that is needed to unleash our full potential as world changers.

God wants us to be obedient because when we are then heaven is brought on earth. We don't have to wait until we get to heaven to experience heaven. If we follow what Jesus did and how he expanded the kingdom then we will see more miracles in our lives. Tap into the conversation between me and a special guest!
A Covenant is an agreement between God and his people, in which God makes promises to his people and usually requires certain conduct from them. God wants us to keep his commands so we can experience God's promises! Tap in to this new episode with a special guest!
People have to allow God to position them in places where people can listen to them. During this episode, I talk about this encounter I had with this man who was an unbeliever and how God used me in a powerful way! God positioned me to listen to what this man had to say about what his beliefs were and the man listened to what I had to say about the message of Jesus Christ! To God be the glory!
Gifts are natural abilities or talents. It is extraordinary power given by the Holy Spirit. The gifts God has given you are meant to bring Him glory. Many people are using their gifts for their selfish ambitions. The world would be a better place if we used our gifts to build up the kingdom of God and bring His name glory all over the earth!
Identity is something many people are struggling with now today. Especially with athletes. Many people don't know who they are in Christ Jesus. Our identity comes from Jesus Christ. It doesn't come anywhere else! Tap into the conversation with our guest Kingston Davis!
Romans 12:1 says " Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, and pleasing to God- this is your true and proper worship". First episode of 2024, we have to offer our bodies as living sacrifices! Tap into what God has to say about this year!
As we end the year of 2023, we have to not bring our regret of our past into the future in 2024. Regret means a disappointment over something that has happened or been done, especially a lost or missed opportunity. Join our conversation with a special guest to discuss how to get rid of our regret and how to move forward toward the things God has for us!
We all have been abandoned in our lives and some of us still struggle today with it. Abandonment means to desert someone, to leave and never return. We have all had people in our lives who have never come back, people have forsaking us. This issue has affected how we love each other and it has made us not be vulnerable with one another because we don't want to feel the pain of being abandon. The bible says, "even if my father and mother abandon me, the lord will hold close to me"- Psalm 27:10. Jesus understands the pain of our abandonment and He wants us to give our abandonment issues to Him. Join the conversation with a special guest Jon'Nique Johnson as we dive deeper into our issues of abandonment!
When God calls us to do something it will sometimes feel scary but all God wants is our yes. The season has come when God will ask us to step out of our comfort zone and do the impossible! Sometimes God will not reveal His entire plan for our lives but only bits & pieces because He wants us to have faith. Tap into the conversation between me and Olatolu Afolabi as we share what God has done and how important it is to say yes to His plans!
The enemy is after people knowledge of who God is and many people have deserted the faith. People have decided to go their own way, seeking the wisdom and knowledge of this wicked world. I have realize that your purpose is not in the things we have or the things we do but our purpose is in the word of God! God's spirit is searching to give knowledge and understanding to those who take the time to seek Him. If we do this, I believe God will give us our dreams and goals to chase after, changing the world in a powerful way!
God is the true vine and we are the branches and apart from Him we cannot produce much fruit. Many people go through their lives not being connected to God and they never end up reaching their full potential as a world changer! As cognizant individuals, we have to be connected to the vine which is Jesus Christ, if we want to produce great fruit. If we remain in Him, He will remain in us, meaning we will be able to accomplish our goals and dreams on this earth!
I believe we are stepping into a season where God is calling us higher in leadership! It is time to take our leadership seriously because God is ready to pour out His spirit on His people but we have to be prepared. Keldrick Brown gives us some insight on his leadership and how we need to become better leaders in our lives.
God is wanting His people to throw off their old nature and put on the nature in Christ Jesus! We were not born to live in our flesh but live in the spirit. God is ready to perform miracles before us but we have to make sure we are putting on the full armor of God!
Are you going to fulfill your purpose for today? Purpose is operating in the gifts God has given you and using them to glorify Him. When you fulfill your purpose everyday you start to become who God created you to be! Each day is an opportunity to get one step closer to being who God created you to be!
Everything we have prayed for is already done in our lives and God is wanting us to believe and act like it. This requires us to believe and have faith because in order for us to see the promises God has for our lives we have to believe it is already done! No more not acting like things are not done. God is shifting our faith and it is time to shift. The next 6 months of 2023 will be phenomenal and God is about to do what He promised in those peoplepeople's liveslives if they believe!
As Cognizant individuals, we have to understand that God has graced us for the journey that we go through. Great people have great journeys they go through and they appreciate what they have been through because it has produced in them something that only the journey can produce. Before the foundations of the world, God already knew what you were going to face in your life. I want to encourage you that no matter what you face the God of the universe is with you!
In order to be great and do the things God has prepared for us we have to answer the call He has on our lives. Many people today are fighting against the call of God over their lives. God is calling His chosen people to do His will and He wants you to accept the call and stop running. God's purpose will prevail and we have to believe that God has great plans for us if we trust Him!
God is wanting His kingdom to reign here on earth. I believe God is looking for people who are WILLING to step into their purpose and expand His kingdom. The enemy is fighting so hard for individuals to not see the kingdom of God because he knows that his time is up. The enemy has already been judged before the foundations of the world were created. This is why he is trying to bring as many people as possible with him. God told me that the ones who are His disciples will experience His kingdom! My question to you is are you His disciple?
As cognizant individuals, we are called to be set apart for the world to see God's glory through us. We have to live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ Jesus! As we pursue our goals and dreams, we have to make sure we get rid of all sorts of evil because evil is what's going to stop us from seeing the promises of God! It is hard to be different from the crowd we are around but The Holy Spirit will strengthen us to stand out and be who He has called us to be!
As cognizant people, we have to be aware that God is working on our development and He will hold things back for us so we can be able to grow. It sometimes is frustrating because we want things to come on our own time but God allows things not to be on our own time because He wants to see if we actually trust Him like we say we do. Growth is key to reaching the best version God wants us to be and when we are our best versions then we are able to change the world!
The enemy is going to send all he got because he doesn't want you to win! When you are close to the promises of God, expect some attacks to come your way. Take heart! God has already won the victory and you will come out on top no matter what the enemy throws! Believe in the power of God and watch Him prove himself faithful!
Sober minded means in the Bible living with a single- minded focus. God wants His people to have a clear head and to be focus Him. The enemy wants us to be distracted in this hour and wants us to miss out on what God is doing right now. When we are sober-minded, then we start to see miracles, signs, and wonders!
As cognizant individuals, God allows things to come to us because He wants to grow us so we will become who He created us to be! The process is meant to make you stronger and better. It is never meant to take you out. This is what many people are not aware of which is stopping them from reaching their destiny. Many trials will come and when they do, we have to know that it is producing in us the best version of ourselves. "Consider it pure joy, my brother and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything" (James 1:2).
Character is mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual. Character is who we are because of our relationship with Christ. If you don't have good character at the level you are at then how are you going to handle the next level God has for you? God is looking at your character right now and it is important that when trials and tribulation come that we will pass the test! " Don't be misled, bad company corrupts good character" 1 Corinthians 15:33.
Forgiveness is something many people are struggling with in today's culture and it is hindering people from God blessing them. The bible says " for if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly father will also forgive you"-Matthew 6:14. The enemy doesn't want us to forgive and he wants us to hold onto offense and get us to focus on the wrong things. God wants you to be quick to forgive because when you do, you will experience the life He intended for you!
As we press towards our goals and dreams there will always be temptations trying to get in our way of being great. As cognizant people, when temptation comes knocking at our door, we need to not have a conversation with it but we need to run to our Lord & savior Jesus Christ to save us from temptations. I have learned in our own strength we are not able to win against temptation but with Jesus as our help we can overcome the desires and temptations of this world!
God wants his people to cry out to him in this or because there have been some things we can not break loose from by ourselves. Sometimes, if you want to go to the next level, you will have to let go of some things that you have been carrying. Crying out to God will help you let go of those things that have been weighing you down, holding you back from who God has called you to be. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
God wants to sanctify His people everyday. It is not easy to allow the Holy Spirit to lead you in all areas of your life because your flesh wants to do the opposite of what the spirit wants. Great people are constantly getting better everyday because they know that's what it takes to be who God wants them to be. They are not afraid to be different or set apart for God's use and purpose! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Everything we will every face in this life on earth Jesus paid for it! trials and tribulations will come and we have to understand that Jesus overcame all the enemy will try to throw at us. My probation with my DWI has ended today!! Jesus paid for it and now it is time to move on with my purpose and walk in the authority God has given me and you! Whatever you are facing, know Jesus is with you and you will come out on the other side! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Physical training is good but training for Godliness is much better. Many people in the world think their physicality is more important than their spirituality which is a lie from the pits of hell. There is a spiritual battle going on around us and we must prepare accordingly so we will be able to win! Cognizant people train themselves for righteousness and focus on themselves spiritually because they are aware of the tactics of the enemy. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
People are not reaching their goals and dreams because they are not removing the stones in their lives. In order for God glory to show through our lives we have to remove the stone away for Him to call out the things that are on the inside of us. As cognizant people, we have to understand that God can bring anything that was once dead back to life. Nothing is too big or too late for Him to do so we must trust that He can do it! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Many people are close to the promises of God. The enemy has brought many distractions to other individuals, causing them to not believe in the plans of God. This is the time to continue to persevere and carry on with our goals and dreams because we are so close. If we give up, we will not experience the life Jesus wants us to have which means we would be settling! Great people never settle, we keep on going, knowing that there is so much more out God has for us! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
This is the year that we are not going to lack any more. As God fulfills us, He is going to make sure we are not lacking in anything. Lack is the state of being without or not having enough of something. Many of us have been lacking in some areas of our lives and He told me to tell you that in 2023 you will not lack anything! If you ask Him, I believe He will give it to you but only if you believe you have received it! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
I believe God is getting ready to move suddenly on people's behalf. Many people have been waiting on God to open doors and I know it is the beginning of 2023 but He will not waste time. I believe He will move unexpectedly and we should not be shocked but we should rejoice! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
The new year is here! 2022 was a year of sowing and planting seed in the ground and now 2023 is a year of reaping a great harvest. Many people have suffered and went through some hardship, surviving it all. God is ready to bless many people and as cognizant individuals, our minds must be in alignment with what God is wanting to do in our lives. This is only the beginning and the best is yet to come! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
As we reflect on the last week of 2022, we must make sure we are ready for what God has for us. I believe God is getting ready to send people into places all around the world to be His disciples. No more of being wishy washy. It is time to be committed to the mission God is calling us to and not be afraid to become who He has called us to be. The promises of God are here and God is ready to perform what He spoke but first wants to see if we are ready for it. I am excited for 2023 and I know God is going to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all, we may ask or think! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
God is wanting us before the end of the year 2022 to go higher with Him because there is something on the other side of us going to a high place. The enemies attacks are more and more now because the promises of God are coming for many people. God wants his people to have life and life more abundantly but the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy. As cognizant people, we cannot let the enemy stop us from hearing God so we must go to a high place to hear the voice of God! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
I believe we are stepping into a season where God is looking for individuals who will be available to be used for him. Great things are coming for those people who are available to God and I know that's something people don't want to hear but that's the truth. This is the season of coming and as cognizant people we have to prepare our hearts for the great things coming for us. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
I believe as we approach the last month of the year 2022 God is getting ready to fulfill some desires we have been waiting patiently for. There are goals and dreams we have been pressing towards that are about to become a reality. As cognizant people we must prepare our hearts for the plans of God and make sure we are ready for the fulfillment he is about to do in our lives. 2023 will be the year of fulfilled promises!! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
We have to have the determination to reach our goals and dreams in this world. I believe people are not experience the life they want because they lack determination. When things get hard, they stop and quit on themselves. God is ready to open doors for people who stay firm on their purpose, not looking to the left or right but straight toward the things God has for them! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
The great people in this world accomplish their goals and dreams with no doubt in their minds. They know what they want and they believe the goals and dreams they set out for themselves. Average people doubt and waver in their mind about their goals and dreams. This stops them from reaching their full potential as a world changer and God is calling His people to be single-minding and focus on one purpose which is Him. I believe as we approach the end of the year we have to make sure as Cognizant individuals that we are committed to our goals and dreams, never doubting in ourselves, most importantly doubting God!! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Many people in culture today are focused on achieving the big things that they miss the small things. Greatness is the small thing done well everyday. God cares about the small things we do in our daily lives and wants us to not despise our small beginnings. Average individuals don't understand the small things and end up settling for less than God's best. Cognizant individuals understand the small things and end up reaching their full potential as a world changer! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
People who are living in their flesh are not experiencing and participating in the miracles God wants to do for them in their lives. There is a war going on between the spirit and flesh which is calling many individuals not to reach their goals and dreams. When we want to do right, we do wrong, and when we don't want to do wrong we do it anyways. Being aware of these two forces at work with each other will allow us to be intentional with what we need to focus on and give to God. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
I believe people are standing at the door that God has promised and calling us to consecrate ourselves for what's next in our lives. Consecration is elevation. God wants to elevate some people to places their eyes having seen, nor ears haven't heard but we have to get to a place of consecration. This is something average people aren't willing to do because they care too much about what culture says. As for Cognizant individuals, we care about what God says and are willing to be set apart for the plans of God! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
The truth without understanding is what's keeping people from experiencing the blessings from God. Many people speak truth they don't understand and are blinded in their own ways which is what the enemy wants. The enemy is after peoples understanding and it is keeping them from not experiencing the life God intended for them. Understanding comes from spending time with God in His presence, once people are willing to spend time with God they will have more peace and clarity on what their purpose is. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
There will be seasons of our lives where we will go through sufferings, agony, afflictions, and discomfort. It is in those seasons we find who we are and what God has put us on this earth to do. Pain is temporary. It will not last forever. As cognizant people we have to be aware of this and know God does His best work through the pain we go through in our lives. Average people hate pain and try to avoid it as much as possible which makes them not reach their goals and dreams. Great people don't let the pain in life stop them from becoming who God has called them to be. They push through, enduring the trials and tribulations because they know they will reap a great harvest if they don't give up! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Many people aren't conquering their goals and dreams because they never get instructions on what to do. More people trust in the instructions of men, instead of trusting in the instructions of God. When you follow the instructions of the lord you will be successful in everything you do. Conquering your goals and dreams (aka promises of God) will require you to be obedient even when the instructions God has given you don't make sense. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
The journey towards our goals and dreams requires us to be strong and courageous. Taking risks isn't easy and if we are going to reach our potential as world changers we need to be strong and very courageous. Average people never take risks and they never experience the life God intended for them to have. Cognizant individuals are never scared of taking risks and will always reach their goals and dreams because they know that God is with them! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
As Cognizant individuals we have to make it known in what we want in our lives and especially in who we identify in. God is at a point where He wants people who are serious about following Him to make it known in front of the people God has placed them around. Great people are people who make it known and they impact those around them. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
