Lights up, dolls — because Buff Faye and Giovonni D. Diamond are BACK, and this episode is serving chaos, comedy, and a whole lot of JUICE.  Buff and Gio kick things off with their signature nonsense, and baby… it escalates quickly. Gio is still on the market (applications now open), and the conversation spirals into the wild world of chasers, twinks, bears, and way too much oversharing. From “educational” moments that absolutely no one asked for to Gio's conspiracy theory that fashion designers might secretly be chasers, the duo proves once again that nothing is off-limits. Is it too much? Yes. Are we still listening? Also yes. But beneath the mess, there's magic. The spotlight turns to rising talent as special guest Venus Wyre joins the conversation — a true new drag artistry powerhouse making waves in Charlotte and beyond. From creating drag in her bedroom in Memphis, Tennessee to stepping into her own as a booked and buzzworthy performer, Venus shares how her passion evolved into purpose after moving to Charlotte to attend Queens University. Buff and Venus dive into her journey of self-discovery through drag, the influence of ballroom culture, dancing, and duck walking, and how fashion and upcycling have become central to her creative expression. Venus opens up about the importance of originality, pushing beyond your comfort zone, and building something that is uniquely yours. Their conversation also revisits how they first connected, reflects on the ball scene (including Buff's first ball win), and celebrates what it means to be a rising star while staying grounded in authenticity and artistry. And of course, the episode wraps with a fierce round of YASSSS QUEEN or NOT TODAY SATAN — because judgment is part of the fantasy. From messy dating talk to meaningful mentorship, rising stars to ridiculous stories, this episode is hilarious, inspiring, and unapologetically unfiltered. Hit play, get into the fantasy, and start Dishing with Buff Faye. Eat it up!

"There are two things you have to remember in dealing with demonic forces. Your righteousness and your authority. Your position and your possession." In the second part of Not Today Satan, Pastor Justin and Joe McCroskey continue to discuss our role in dealing with evil spirits - in a church service and outside the church's doors.

Hey, Friend!   Summer is the time of year when many of us like to take a bit more time away from work.  But let me ask you this, do you feel guilty when you take time off from your 9 to 5?  Do you worry about what your team will think?  Do you worry about how much work will be waiting for you when you get back?  I know what that is like, but today we are going to cover that stinky nonsense in some of God's wonderfully fragrant and life-giving truth!    For decades, I allowed that stinky thinking rob me and my family of time…time spent together, but more often even if together, time spent in which I was able to be present.  If I wasn't physically at work, chances are I was thinking about work, feeling anxious about work, or checking emails to try to avoid feeling anxious about work (which of course had the opposite effect).  It really was all self-imposed.  I placed that pressure on myself.  Well, this past year, all praise to God, I am finding real freedom from that guilt.   Guilt over taking time away… Not Today Satan!   I hope this episode blesses you!   Xoxo,   Tanya   Connect: support@gracefilledleader.com Community: Christian Women in Leadership Community Coaching:  Christian Life Coaching with Tanya-Free Discovery Call Time Management Coaching:  More Time Method-Free Discovery Call Leave me a question or comment for the show: Leave a Message for Tanya   If you enjoyed today's episode, the best way you can thank me is to leave a 5-star rating and a written review on apple podcast.  This is the best way for other listeners to find the show and for me to know how best to serve you with the content you enjoy.   Click on “written review” link above, scroll all the way to the bottom, and click on the little purple link that says “Write a Review”  

Part 4 of our series "Not Today Satan" with Pastor Chris Padiath. Possessed or oppressed? This has been a popular debate among Christians. Satan's mode of operation has been to attack believers in order to hinder the spread of the gospel. For too long, Christians have been naive about how Satan works. We have fallen prey to his tactics and need to discover the believer's authority in Christ. Join us as we examine four case studies from the Book of Acts which will help us discover how to expose the works of Satan.

‘Not Today Satan!'by Joshua Scott ZeitzHave you ever woken up in the morning with disturbing thoughts on your mind? Worse yet, have you ever found yourself thinking about those thoughts? Rolling them over in your mind, toying with them? Now I know, depending on what those thoughts were, you may be slow to admit to such a thing, but I want to encourage you, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!The enemy loves to throw his fiery darts at us, especially in a weak, vulnerable, or tired state and when he does, he likes to play it off like they were our thoughts in the first place.Again, I want to encourage you! YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Whether the thoughts were violent in nature, sexual, scary, or just downright disturbing, you don't have to tolerate them, nor do you have to take them as your own.Listen, our minds are powerful tools. The enemy knows this. He may not be wise but he is persistent and he is an opportunist. He loves to run rampant trying to convince us to think upon this or that thought and make no qualms about it, his intentions are ALWAYS evil, sick, and twisted.In other words, his only desire is to steal, kill, and destroy you and me. The first part of John 10:10 says the thief comes not but to steal, kill, and destroy…Why?Because we are created by God, in God's image, and if we are born-again, sold out to Jesus, we also possess the mind of Christ, and he loathes that entirely!Now normally I wouldn't give the enemy any credence whatsoever, but as I said before, he is an opportunist. He is sneaky and conniving and he loves to catch us in moments of weakness in order to prey upon those weaknesses.He tried the same tactic with Jesus.Jesus, who was weak from 40 days of fasting was led up by the Holy Spirit to be tempted by the devil. I love the Lord!He is touched by our infirmities and our weaknesses! He knows what it's like to be vulnerable and have the enemy attempt to plant thoughts in His mind during that state of vulnerability and weakness.How did Jesus combat these fiery darts? Did He stand in the face of them and take them head-on? No.Did He try to think them away?No.Did He try and simply forget them, putting them away for later?No.Instead, He rebuked them with the Word of God, right away!Jesus taught us an awesome thing through this experience. In the flesh, we are weak. But through God and the power of His Word, we are strong!This tactic of getting mankind to question God, of placing wayward thoughts, of tossing fiery darts, isn't new. The enemy has been using this same thing ever since Adam and Eve when he caused them to question God with the thought, “Did God really say…”But I have great news for you today!It may have worked on the first Adam, but it didn't work on the second!Jesus came out on the other side victorious and more than a conqueror and so can we!So, where does that leave us in all this?Well first off, it is imperative that we begin today to meditate on the Word of God.Waiting until the temptation arises or until the wayward thoughts come, is not a wise choice.Jesus knew the Bible already. He was prepped to answer the enemies' attack.He was weak, yes, but He was prepared. And in His moment of weakness, His training took over.Preparation time is never wasted time!As one awesome pastor has said, “Put the Word of God in you when you don't need it, so it will come out when you do!”Immerse yourself in the Word on a daily basis. Find out what God says about you, and what He thinks about you!He is a good good Father.Perhaps you've fallen for the enemy's lies in the past. Perhaps you've found yourself in a dark place, a

This is how we make life work with the ups and downs of everyday life. What do we do in the gaps of the rollercoaster of life?  We have really great days where everything is firing and then out of nowhere the bottom seems to fall out.  It's called life and it can be a bit of a roller coaster.  There are some really great highs and some really crummy lows, so what do we do in the 'gaps'...those drops in the roller coaster?  We are human and frustrations can mount to a point of explosion, yet we almost can't enjoy those great days because we sense what might be coming.  How do we give ourselves grace and how do we move through the 'Tuesdays'? We have a REAL conversation with REAL examples of how the bottom falls out and how we cope. Bad days, bad mindset, bad self judgement, bad body image...ALL the things!!! Grace can look like: Rally! Sometimes we just need to rally and get ourselves together. Our problems/moments/complaints can snowball.  One small issue can snowball and we can get more and more frustrated.  Just like a snowball traveling down a hill...you may not be able to push it back up but you can stop it! We may not be able to back track our day, but we can STOP the mindset and keep it from growing more negative day by day.  Gratitude!  Find thankful moments in the little things.  What are the small things that (even though life feels out of control) we can look at and say thank you. It's hard to be gracious to ourselves and grateful for what we have, but it's SO important. Live in it!  Not for the long term, but just be in it.  Accept it might be a bad day but not a bad life.  A new day is coming, it is PROMISED to us!   Be aware, be mindful, figure out where it's coming from and move through it.  Unpack and Unload Whether it's with your person who you can be totally transparent with or journaling your thoughts, its' so important to let it out.  When we are able to unpack all of those things, we can look and see WHERE the problem lies, WHAT it looks like and HOW we can move forward. Staying in the Word and staying equipped for hard moments sure does help.  Hide those words in your heart...NOT TODAY SATAN! Life wasn't promised to be easy, but finding grace and gratitude in those gaps is key. Favorite Finds time!!! RICE WATER?!?!  Is this something you can buy or something you make? Do you drink it or what? Here's the deal...you make it and put it on your hair to help it get stronger, healthier, thicker and just BETTER!

Why Identifying and Combating Resistance in your Life and business is the secret to success as a Mother and Business Owner. While it could seem like an abstract concept, the fact that resistance exists and sabotages your success is so far from abstract...it is very real. That is why we have named this "the resistance is real". If you've ever tried to do something big and have had to do it with the fear, you have heard the voice in your head say, "Nothings going right, this isn't meant to be" Most of us grew up looking for the "signs” that it wasn't in the plan. For me(NiCole), it links back to the way I lived out my faith. If it was God's Will then it will all work out. I think this narrative, more than any other, has held us back from more things we could have done, The Roots of Resistance: Negative Self Talk Fear: imposter syndrome (fear of being a phony), fear of failure or success, intrusive thoughts anxiety and worry. Circumstances: like lack of support. whether it be physical support or emotional or even just belief Failures and Discouragement Ways to combat it: Action--even sloppy action Look for conformation Create a clear direction Expect the resistance to come The path that is right should force us to Lean on God. The best stories have a struggle, or they wouldn't be worth the listen. "Sometimes the ease road isn't the indicator that you are doing the right thing, the difficulty of it is " -NiCole "Happy Endings wouldn't be so happy if the road to them wasn't paved in resistance" NiCole Easton

As Christians, we constantly battle with the urge to sin. Why is that? Because sin feels good! It's easier to live a sinful life than a life for Christ. This has been ingrained in us since the garden. But while that life may be “easier,” scripture makes it clear that living a life of sin leads to death and separation from God. We are called to live abundantly for the glory of God and have eternal life with him. So as humans, how do we fight back against sin? We will be looking at 4 specific areas where we need to say, Not Today Satan!

What are YOU, the reader – or listener afraid of? What really gets on to you and bothers you? The real question needing to be asked, is – are you spooked by anything? I hope you are having a spooktabular October. My name is Chris Fluitt and this is Redemption Church of Plano Tx. We are in the 2nd week of our message series – Spooked. Last week we talked about the fear of men. What spooks you? Here is a list of common phobias. Arachnophobia – Fear of spiders. Ophidiophobia – Fear of snakes. Acrophobia – Fear of heights. Aerophobia – Fear of Flying. Cynophobia – Fear of dogs. Astraphobia – Fear of Thunder & Lightning. Trypanophobia – Fear of injections. Social Phobia – Fear of social situations. Agoraphobia – Fear of being alone and unable to escape. Mysophobia – Fear of germs. Homilophobia – Fear of Homilies or sermons. (I hope you don't fear this one today) Did you find yourself on this list? Is there something that scares you? Are there thoughts that scare you? Are there situations that scare you? Are you spooked? ­Today we are going to talk about Phasmophobia – the fear of the supernatural ­Fear of the Supernatural The natural is scary enough. But when our minds start to think about things that go beyond the natural, it can be paralyzing. I remember being a young kid in day care… I was probably in pre-K. And I remember vividly a commercial coming on the TV. There was a pretty young girl running from something. She looked very scared. She was running in a dark alley and reached a dead end and there was nowhere else to run. Then the camera showed us what she was running from. It was a shadowy figure walking toward her. Everything I was seeing in this commercial was possible in the natural. It was plenty scary already, but then something happened that blew my little 4-year-old mind. I would spend the next years thinking about what I am about to describe to you. The shadowy figure walking down the alley held out his arms and his arms grew. Those arms stretched out past what was natural, so that they blocked the entire alley. Freddy Kreuger Here is a picture of what I saw. It was a commercial for the 1984 film “Nightmare on Elm Street” and I later found out the shadowy figure was Freddy Kreuger. The natural is scary, but the supernatural can be that much scarier. My 4-year-old self tried to imagine trying to run around the long arms of the shadowy villain. No matter how often I imagined it and day dreamed about it, I never could get past his long arms. If he could do that to his arms… what other things might he be able to do? The Supernatural is Spooky Ghosts, haunted houses, devils, demons, vampires, werewolves, mummies, zombies, spirits… they are all 2 things. #1 Scary and #2 Supernatural (beyond the natural). The Supernatural can be very spooky. There is a spooky story in your Bible that I want to talk about today. It involves a town being completely terrified by the supernatural. Our story is found in Mark 5 (and Luke 8). Mark 5:1 (NIV2011) They went across the lake… Mark 5:2 (NIV2011) When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him. Mark 5:3 (NIV2011) This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain. Mark 5:4 (NIV2011) For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. Mark 5:5 (NIV2011) Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones. This is a scary dude. The Supernatural is spooky. The Supernatural is Spooky This man had impure evil spirits in him. This man lived in the graveyard. The people of the nearby village tried to chain him up. They chained him hand and foot but he tore the chains apart with a supernatural strength. No one was strong enough to subdue him. Night & day the sound could be heard of him crying out… a haunting sound from a man filled with demons… He would mutilate himself with stones… cutting his skin… This guy was scary in the natural, but then when you add the supernatural element, it becomes terrifying. This demoniac scared everyone. No one could solve this problem. Don't you know that this man was the real life boogeyman to all the children in nearby villages? The people in that area where trying to manage a supernatural problem… they were haunted by the demoniac. The Supernatural is spooky. It is easy to see why some may fear the supernatural. …But should we be spooked by everything supernatural? Let's see what happens when a supernatural demon possessed man comes in contact with the supernatural Jesus Christ. Mark 5:6 (NIV2011) When he (The demoniac) saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. No one could handle this supernatural demoniac, but at just the sight of Jesus… Not a sermon, not a prayer, not a miracle, not a resurrection, or ascending into heaven… Just the sight of Jesus caused the demon possessed man to run to him and fall on his knees and worship. On our knees is a position of worship… On our knees is a position of a disciple. Nothing gives Jesus the spooks This demoniac was supernatural, but nothing is more powerful than Jesus Christ! It doesn't matter what the supernatural entity is… nothing gives Jesus the spooks. Every power and authority will end up bowed before the Lord… Angel & demon must bow. Atheist & believer must bow. Holy Spirit filled worshipper & demon filled sinner must bow. Little children & world government leaders must bow. Every other false god must bow… Buddha must bow, Muhammed must bow, Zues must bow, and Shiva must bow. All sickness must bow. All of our sin & failure must bow. Even death must bow. Philippians 2:10 (NIV2011) …at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, Philippians 2:11 (NIV2011) and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Nothing gives Jesus the spooks Jesus Christ is Supernatural and every other supernatural entity will end up just like this demoniac… bowed in reverence at the feet of Jesus! Jesus is not afraid of the Supernatural! He is the head of all principality & power. (Colossians 2:10) All things were created by him. (Colossians 1:16) All power in heaven & earth are given to him (Matthew 28:18) Jesus is the only one who was not scared of the demoniac. In fact… the demoniac was scared of Jesus. Mark 5:7 (NIV2011) He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name don't torture me!” The man ran and worshipped, but these voices right here are the voices of the demons. Mark 5:8-9 (NIV2011) For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!” Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.” A legion was a Roman military term to number the amount of soldiers. A legion was a grouping of thousands of soldiers, between 4 and 6 thousand. This demoniac was filled with many demons… this is why it was called legion. There could have been thousands of demons within this demoniac… And Jesus looks at it in the eye and commands “come out of this man!” Mark 5:11-12 (NIV2011) A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” Who is in charge here? Jesus, the demons, or the man? Jesus is fully in control. The demons are begging and pleading with Jesus… Jesus is in control. It also needs to be pointed out that thousands of demons could not stop the man from running toward Jesus. All the power of hell could not stop the man from bowing at the feet of Jesus. What can separate us from the love of God? Romans 8:38 (NIV2011) For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, Romans 8:39 (NIV2011) neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Jesus is in charge! And no demon can keep you from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord! Mark 5:13 (NIV2011) He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned. Mark 5:14 (NIV2011) Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened. Mark 5:15 (NIV2011) When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. They were happy right? They were worshipping God right? They were rejoicing and thankful right? They were joining the man by also sitting at the feet of Jesus right? They were lining up for Jesus to do miracles in their life right? NO! They were afraid. Afraid of Jesus? They see the demon-possessed man, no longer demon-possessed. They see him sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind. No more chains… No more cutting himself… No more spooky moans… It is a miracle, yet they respond so strangely to this miracle. 2 verses later the people of that region plead with Jesus to leave the area. How could this happen? The Supernatural is Spooky If we aren't careful we can become afraid of everything that is supernatural. The people were afraid of the evil spirits of the demoniac, but they were also afraid of the Holy One, who by the power of the Holy Spirit, delivered the demoniac. Do we do this today? Is it possible that we are afraid of the supernatural power of God? Does the idea of praying out loud for someone else spook you? Are you spooked at the idea of living by faith… giving sacrificially… Are you spooked by giving not from your wealth but from your need? Are you spooked by the idea of laying your hands on someone else and praying? Are you too spooked to step out in faith? Are you spooked at the thought of worshipping God openly and letting your emotions show? Are you afraid to laugh or cry because of the presence of God? Are you spooked by the thought of lifting your hands and jumping and dancing before the Lord? Are you spooked by miracles? Are you spooked by the moving of God's Holy Spirit? ..The Anointing of His Spirit? Are you spooked by prophecy? Are you spooked by speaking in tongues and the other gifts of the Spirit? Does baptism in water spook you? Does baptism in the Spirit spook you? Does sharing your faith and testifying spook you? If Jesus showed up in this moment and delivered someone today like He did in Mark 5, would you think about grabbing your stuff and leaving? If Jesus cast demons out of someone… healed someone, baptized someone in the Holy Spirit… would you be spooked? There are a lot of Christian denominations who are spooked by Jesus. In this very city, in this metroplex, there were Christians who, like the villagers in Mark 5, have asked Jesus to leave their Church service. There are Churches who believe God no longer does miracles. There are Churches who believe that God no longer pours His Spirit out like He did in Acts 2. There are Churches who believe water baptism is just an empty relic of Christianity… they don't believe anything Spiritual happens when people are buried in Jesus Christ. They literally say “it is just getting wet.” There are Churches that if you had an emotional display they would ask you to calm down or leave… Who is in charge here? Jesus, the demons, or the man? The demons wish they were in charge… Jesus shut them up. Jesus is the Supernatural power here… Yet, although Jesus is in charge, a group of men cause him to leave. We are more in charge of the supernatural than we understand. We can be the man who runs toward the supernatural Jesus and bows down before Him… or we can be the people who are afraid of Jesus and ask Him to leave. Redemption Church, Who are we going to be today? We get to decide… we are in charge here. Are we going to be the one who runs towards Jesus and bows in worship and receive the Supernatural presence of Jesus, or are we going to be the villagers who see Jesus and are afraid. Redemption Church, let us embrace a supernatural Jesus. Embrace a Supernatural Jesus I declare that God's power has not changed. He parted seas, healed blind eyes, and raised the dead, AND he still does! Malachi 3:6 (NIV2011) “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. Hebrews 13:8 (NIV2011) Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. His power is not changed! His power is the same! Will you embrace this powerful God? Or will you deny His power? The Apostle Paul warns us that in the last days people will have a form of Godliness but deny the Power of God. 2 Timothy 3:5 (NIV2011) having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. Do we realize there is a supernatural battle going on? Ephesians 6:12 (NIV2011) For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. You need the supernatural power of God to fight against the spiritual forces of evil. “NOT TODAY SATAN.” 2 Timothy 1:6 (NIV2011) …I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV) For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. You don't need to fear the supernatural forces of the enemy. You need to embrace a Supernatural Jesus. There is a supernatural enemy, but you have a supernatural savior. Will you embrace a supernatural Jesus today?

In today's Relevance For Today Message, I want to let you know that God did not intend for us to be the world's punching bags. Too often we get beaten up mentally, spiritually, and sadly even physically. David stood boldly before Goliath in the name of the Lord so can you! I pray this message will touch your lives in a way that will cause you to roll your shoulders back and remember the Holy Spirit resides in you! Walk in strength and courage and remember when satan tries to beat you up through life, you tell him “NOT TODAY SATAN! NOT TODAY!” God Bless You and Yours! Love You All!
