Twenty Minutes With Toine

I know I'm late but HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We're continuing our talk on the topic Design by Design. There are 3 major points we are discussing today. Don't be a complainer! Be grateful! Help someone else! Let's Dive In!

Today, we are continuing our talk on “Design by Design”! Let's take a look at Genesis 1 when God began to create. I believe this is a demonstration of what God wants us to do in our life. Be productive(“…let there be”), examine & celebrate your productivity (“….and it was good”), and then REST. HE could've did it all in one day but instead decided to take it day by day. Even God used the system of phases to create this fine tuned world we live in today. Then, He rested which shows us how important it is to stop and rest. Take a listen as we expand on this idea. Let's Dive In!

This episode will be the introduction to a series of talks containing information that will help us design a life that is in alignment with God's Design for our lives. God's Design leads us to a successful life. My idea of success in life is living out my purpose. Everything else is perks & the sprinkles on top! My biggest objective is to walk into my destiny by obtaining and maintaining a healthy lifestyle found in biblical principals. There are a few main areas I'm hoping to help us improve in: Mental Health, Physical Health, & Spiritual Health. It all starts in our heads! Yep, we're starting with our philosophy. Let's Dive In.

What lens are you viewing your life through? Do you know that your worldview actually sets the tone for your philosophy which persuades your thinking and then becomes your actions? That's pretty powerful. Basically, our worldview influences how we think and live! Today I'm challenging everyone to be more intentional and knowledgeable about your worldview.  For my Christian believers, did you know that science and history supports our worldview? C.S. Lewis said "Men became scientific because they expected law in nature, and they expected law in nature because they believed in a lawgiver."  That “lawgiver” is God, the God of the Bible. Can you explain our truth to an unbeliever( 1 Peter 3:15)? Become more balance in your delivery of the Gospel. Become more knowledgeable about the substance. Don't just get enough for yourself. Get enough to be resourceful to any unbeliever that may ask  about the reason for the hope in you. While searching deeper depths to do ministry more effectively, it is possible that you will find more reason to cling to your faith in God. Let's Dive In!

Today's topic is HEALTH. What are you eating? Are you exercising? How much does your health matter to you? Don't wait until you're sick to change, do your research now! Don't  neglect the daily disciplines and actions that could lengthen your life & improve the quality of your life! Be well! Your health is one of your biggest assets! Hopefully I can light a fire inside of you today. Everything changed for me when I found my WHY. Maybe I can encourage you to find your WHY!  Lets Dive In!

There is a doubter in all of us. A part of us that makes us second guess our goals and aspirations. Don't give in to that voice in your head telling you to live “safe”. Do more than just “be” ….Be willing! Be willing to live and not just exist! Step beyond “normal”. Move beyond the “average”. You can have more than you got because you can't do more than what you've done so far! When I say ”have” I don't just mean money. I'm talking about the life you can design for yourself! 

Today I had an opportunity to talk with a new found friend and brother, Will Davis Jr! Will is an established and professional musician from Waterbury, CT. He has worked with artists like K-Ci & JoJo, Jj Harriston, Day 26, Naomi Raine, & many more. What I love is that he's much more than a musician. He's a person of great integrity and character. That's why I wanted to have this conversation with him on this platform. I want to display this professional who is also humble, approachable, and most of all a man who honors GOD for his success. Take a listen!

Today I'm sharing my opinions & thoughts about how to effectively activate your full potential! Adopt this new perspective on things you may think are impossible for you to accomplish- “Unless I Can”. Watch how your brain will begin to generate new ideas and ways to figure how you can! What an amazing feature GOD has designed in our brains.  Lets use this tool to put our Potential In Motion! 

I was blessed to sit down with my good friend, David Hammond. He just experienced a new and exciting transition in his life. Weight Loss Surgery! He started at 500lbs! Take a listen to hear a portion of what is the beginning of his new life changing journey. We celebrate him for making a step to do something proactive to change the narrative of his life! 

To everyone who has life, health, and strength……. YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE! We all fall. We all fail. Failing is a part of success. Keep failing your way towards becoming the best version of yourself! Everyone you've ever looked up to has failed. It is inevitable but its what you do with those experiences of failing that is vital to your growth in life. FAIL but “Fail Forward”!

Today's talk is straight forward and transparent. Be proactive. Focus! When your focus is broken, REFOCUS. I am rooting for YOU! Purpose is calling your name. Destiny is pulling on you. The future YOU will thank you! Never give up, keep pushing.

This week we're  exploring apologetics! The defense for the christian world view in particular. Every believer is called to this task. I'm asking believers and non believers to engage in this message. Hopefully something said in this message is employable in some way. Let's dive in!

This week I'm hoping to help you start your week with this thought in your mind..... "Who Am I?". More importantly, who are you in CHRIST? As you seek to discover more about yourself I pray that GOD reveals HIS initial intent for you life. I believe that from there you will have a great foundation in the core of who you are in HIM. This step is critical to your purpose and destiny. Lets dive in!!

Let's dive into reconnecting /staying connected to the importance of Resolutions- (a firm decision to do or not to do something)! This episode provides simple tools and methods that can be useful in your everyday life. I want to encourage everyone to remain conscious of your resolutions. In this talk, I share my take on staying focus and what it takes to follow through with a resolution. I hope that something said in this talk is employable!This first show is dedicated to the woman who raised me, my grandmother. I simply called her "Ma".  Today is her birthday 2/7. Love & miss you.
