Let's Talk! We are talking about Ecclesiastes 3:1 a time for everything and I will share a little bit more with you on that and just a second, but it's a theme of the seasons of life in Ecclesiastes. The seasons we experience and have, and we go through some things, that are just so challenging but also such a blessing, and the significance as a reflection on the cyclical nature of life and how things are up and down, ebb and flow, mountains and valleys, day and night, light and darkness. Scripture references:  Ecclesiastes 3:1, Psalm 121, Matthew 6:33, Psalm 16:5-11

In this episode, we focus on Matthew 6:33, Seek First the Kingdom of God and its righteousness and all these things will be added unto you. I had very special guests, Daniel and Aisha Schadrac. They are campus pastors for USF, and I look forward to you hearing about their ministry. Here's a snippet of our conversation: I know that the news tries to make the campus seem hostile to the gospel. What it really is that they are resistant to the truth of responsibility "I have sinned and… there's a debt on my head that I have to pay if I don't surrender to Jesus and that Eternal debt." That is an offensive message to share with somebody especially in this time and age where it's "do what your heart wants you to do... Enjoy what you want to enjoy and if I don't agree with it, I don't have the right to tell you." And there's truth to the fact that only God is Judge, but man I want to share with you what he said before you meet your judge, because I don't want you to get judged for what you have said. [Here's an example of what someone has said,] if I know that this building is on fire, and I walk out and don't tell anybody else, I really have to hate them to do that. I know that this building is going down and I don't tell anybody, and I just get out myself. And so, it's the same thing as if I believe that I have the true keys of eternal life. I really have to hate them to [not tell them about Jesus] ... Stay tuned for more! Let's Talk!

Can you believe we're already seven weeks in and we have a couple more episodes to go. Then we'll take a small little break and then we'll be back with another series. I was like, Lord, I really want to do this well. and I feel like God just deposited some things to share with you. I'm super excited to share Mark 12:31 with you. “Love your neighbor as yourself” and I want you to know that the theme of this episode is love and compassion. Do not check out on me yet, okay, because love and compassion is so vital to a Christian walk and maybe you're like, "I don't want to associate with Christians because that doesn't really sound like my thing because there's been a lot of stuff going on and sometimes Christians aren't that nice."  I get it. Just hold on tight because we're not looking at people... We're looking at the word of God and Jesus is our example... so let's focus on that, and keep that the main thing because that should be our Center and our focus and our source ALWAYS.  Let's Talk!

In this episode, we discuss Jeremiah 29:11 and its context as a message of hope and purpose. We want to trust in God's plans for our lives, just as God said through Jeremiah's message to the Israelites. There is an assurance of God's plans for our welfare and future. There is comfort and hope found in this promise. You are here and there is an importance of purpose and meaning in your life. Trusting in God's plans to come to fruition in our lives can bring clarity and direction. Who needs clarity and direction?! There have been times in my own life where I had to trust that God would reveal the very next step, not even the next year, but the next step. The challenge is in the waiting, but oh how rewarding the patience and perseverance turns out to be! You want to remain steadfast in faith (I know it's difficult, trust me) while awaiting God's fulfillment of His plans. I hope the closing prayer bring you encouragement as you listen or watch the latest episode. Let's Talk!

The reason why it's so important for us to cast our cares on the Lord because he cares for us (1 Peter 5:7 - key verse) is because the enemy is always trying to come at us, and we're going to talk about that in this episode and more. We're going to discuss finding peace through surrendering our worries to God. Here's something that I heard years ago that have kind of adopted and I share with a lot of people: surrender + obedience = balance; God is the ultimate balancer. Let's Talk! Scripture references: 1 Peter 5:6-8; James 4:7; Matthew 6:31-34; Revelation 20:1-2; Colossians 2:15; Psalm 91:3; 2 Corinthians 11:14 Next episode: For I know the plans I have for you, says The Lord... Jeremiah 29:11

All of the things that we discuss in this series and in these verses are totally applicable to you in your life today, and I want you to understand the significance of God's command to be strong and courageous.

Scripture references: Joshua 1:5-9; James 1:22; Romans 8:36-38; John 13:35; 2 Timothy 3:10; Isaiah 40:31 Next episode focuses on 1 Peter 5:7, stay tuned!

Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" is the goal here friends but let me back up a little bit and read verses 11 and 12 to you as well. "Not that I was ever in need." Paul says "for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation whether it is full with a full stomach or empty with plenty or little and then it says in that portion of scripture for I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength." Listen to the significance of this source and inspiration; it is pretty Divine friends. If you read the history on Paul and where he is at and learning the challenges that he is facing in the strength that he must draw from Christ. It says that Paul wrote this letter to the Philippians in prison. I don't know if you've ever done any kind of study on what it looks like in a prison in Rome, but I can guarantee you that it was not cupcakes and rainbows. It says Philippi was the site of a key military Victory by Justice Caesar and as a result, it was made a Roman Colony Philippi was the first city in present day Europe where Paul established a church. so, friends This is a big deal. He is writing to the Church of Philippi, and he is saying to them. Hey guys, I'm in prison right now. I know what it's like to live with a lot and with nothing and I know what it's like to have Christ as my strength. For my source of strength and so as we venture to learn a little bit more about what this means for us today and our walk with Christ. I would challenge you to read a little bit more on history and learn that if you are in America listening to this, we really don't have it that bad. Let's Talk! Scripture references: Philippians 4:11-13; John 15:5; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:18-20

While we do his good will, he abides with us still, and with all who will trust and obey. Refrain: Trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. 2 Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share, but our toil he doth richly repay; not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross, but is blest if we trust and obey.

 In a world filled with noise, it is easy to overlook the impact of our words and actions. But little do we realize that they shape the course of our lives and influence the lives of others. Today, we explore the significance of being mindful about what we say and do through a biblical perspective. Our journey of self-reflection takes us back to the wisdom found in the book of Proverbs, chapter 18, verse 21, which states, "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." Every word we speak holds potential; a potential to uplift, comfort, and inspire. But likewise, it also carries the power to wound, discourage, and even destroy. Our tongue can create life-giving connections or sever valuable relationships. Let us remember that our words have an eternal impact, not only on our earthly relationships but also on our spiritual journey. As followers of the biblical principles, it is crucial to pay attention to the words we choose and the message they convey. Let's Talk! Scripture references: Psalm 27:14, Mark 12:30, Proverbs 4:23, Ephesians 5:8, Hebrews 13:5-6, John 15:15, Psalm 119:105, Isaiah 41:10, Matthew 7:14

Let us remember that our words have an eternal impact, not only on our earthly relationships but also on our spiritual journey. As followers of the biblical principles, it is crucial to pay attention to the words we choose and the message they convey. Words rarely stand alone; they intertwine with our actions, breathing life into our character. This brings us to the biblical truth found in the book of James, chapter 1, verse 22: "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." It is not enough to simply speak words of kindness and love. Our actions must align with our words, resonating with the world around us. People are not persuaded or affected by empty words; rather, they are drawn to authentic displays of compassion, gratitude, and empathy.  As believers, we are called not only to speak the truth but to live it. In the book of Matthew, chapter 5, verse 16, we are reminded, "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Our words and actions are the mirror in which others perceive us. They reflect the values and principles we hold dear. Let us remember that we are representatives of a greater power, ambassadors of compassion, and grace here on Earth. May we always choose our words wisely, mindful of their power, and may our actions be a testament to our faith, shining a light into the world. For in the end, it is through our words and actions that we create a tapestry of love, compassion, and shepherding for others to follow. Pay attention to your words, pay attention to your actions, pay attention to the impact you have on the world.

It can be debilitating and can make you feel overwhelmed, stressed, and even physically ill. But there are ways to manage it and calm your anxious heart. In this episode, we will discuss three simple tips that you can apply whenever you're feeling anxious. 1. Pray Prayer is one of the most effective ways to calm an anxious heart. It helps you focus on something greater than yourself and gives you a sense of hope and reassurance. You can pray to God, close your eyes, and visualize yourself in a calm and peaceful place. Ask for strength and guidance in difficult times and express gratitude for the love and blessings in your life. 2. Purge Another way to calm your anxious heart is to purge your negative feelings. Write down all your worries, fears, and anxieties in a journal or on a paper. This will help you release those negative thoughts and emotions and gain clarity. You can also talk to a friend or a therapist about your feelings, or engage in physical activities that help you release tension, such as yoga, running, or dancing. 3. Praise Finally, praise is a powerful tool that can help you shift your focus to the positive aspects of your life. Take some time to appreciate and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small they may be. Surround yourself with positive and supportive people who encourage and uplift you. Focus on the things that make you happy and bring you joy, and practice gratitude for the good things in your life. In conclusion, anxiety can be a challenging experience, but you don't have to face it alone. By applying these simple tips of praying, purging, and praising, you can calm your anxious heart and find peace from Christ. Remember to be patient with yourself, take things one day at a time, and reach out for help when you need it. Let's Talk!

Let's talk! We often focus on the obstacles that stand in our way and the challenges we face, but we must also celebrate the progress we have made toward freedom. This can mean different things to different people, depending on their circumstances.  By celebrating with faith, we can cultivate the belief that a better future is possible. We can believe that goodness will prevail even in the midst of struggle, and we can hold hope in our hearts during tough times. Gratitude is also a key ingredient to celebrating freedom. When we recognize the blessings in our lives, we tap into a sense of abundance and appreciation. We can be grateful for the small freedoms we have, like being able to express our opinions or choose our own path in life. By focusing on the positive aspects of our lives, we create a more positive mindset that helps us to keep moving forward. Celebrating freedom, even if it hasn't been reached yet, involves faith in the possibility of achieving that freedom and gratitude for the progress made so far. It also involves a commitment to service in the pursuit of that freedom.

Forgiveness is a powerful tool that can lead to freedom and healing in the process of recovering from past hurt and trauma. When we hold onto anger, resentment, and bitterness towards someone who has wronged us, it only serves to poison our own hearts and minds. However, by choosing to forgive others, we can release ourselves from the burden of these negative emotions. Forgiveness does not mean that we forget or condone the actions of others. Instead, it means that we choose to let go of the past and move forward with compassion and understanding. It allows us to break free from the chains of hate and resentment that hold us back from living our best, abundant lives.

 Forgiveness can be difficult and may require time, effort, and support from others. However, once we are able to truly forgive, we open ourselves up to a world of peace, love, and happiness. By freeing ourselves from the past, we can fully embrace the present and create a brighter future. Jesus wants you to bring all of that into the light and let Him heal you! Let's Talk!

The 5 A's of Healing are a helpful tool for individuals who are seeking to overcome difficult emotions, traumas, or challenges in their lives. The first step in the process is to acknowledge the issue or problem that needs to be addressed. Acknowledgment involves recognizing the reality of the problem, naming it, and accepting that it is a part of your life at this moment. This can be a difficult step, as it requires you to face the problem head-on and admit that there is something you need to change or work on. However, acknowledging the issue is essential for progressing towards healing. Without recognizing the problem, it can be impossible to take the necessary steps to move forward and create positive changes in your life. By accepting and acknowledging the challenges and struggles, you can begin to identify the root causes of the issue and explore options for addressing them. This can lead to a greater sense of empowerment, resilience, and growth over time. I want to help YOU get there! Let's Talk!
