This year has been incredibly eventful, filled with breaking news, unexpected losses, revelations, and separations, but nothing has stirred as much emotion as the 2024 presidential election. It has been exhausting to witness. Differences of opinion over this election have divided families, lifelong friends, church communities, and more. Many have chosen to part ways, but nothing surprised me more than this new wave of criticism toward Black men. Some Black and Brown women have joined a misguided and divisive movement against men. Why is this...
Many who work behind the scenes should be up front, but they don’t even realize who they are. Many have had their identities stolen by the enemy, who uses disappointments, pain, and personal failures to speak lies into their hearts. God is freeing those who have been imprisoned by lies rooted in painful experiences. He wants you to know that you AREenough. He has called and qualified you, and, for your assurance, He has also justified you. Once again, you ARE enough. Moses told God about his speech problems, not feeling like he was enough, b...
The reason why some people go through what seems like perpetual pain is because of the great purpose that lies ahead of them. There are times when we can’t see the purpose on the other side of the pain, but it's there. God has a special way of preparing His people for greatness by teaching them to overcome before they "come over." Could this be why you’ve experienced so much? It’s certainly not because God doesn’t love you. Just because you don’t know the answer, it doesn’t mean there isn’t one. To a football player who doesn’t understand, he...
I was listening to a man recently, and it made me reflect deeply on my husband, dad, brothers, and men in general. For as long as I can remember, I’ve witnessed men being told to "take it like a man." By that, I mean males have often been instructed to be tough and suppress their emotions, as if showing any feelings was a sign of weakness. But that approach has harmed many. So today, I want any man reading this, if it pertains to you, to take this apology like a man: I apologize to you, who were once boys, trying to express that you were hurt,...
The subject matter that I was initially going to write about, was changed, as God gave me a question to ask- a subject to address. I would like to ask every reader that sees this, "Are you REALLY saved? With the times we're in, it's extremely important to ask this question. These are very uncertain times, and along with these uncertain times, people's salvation is uncertain as well. Many feel that Romans 10:9-10 just means that as long as they have said what man calls the sinner's prayer and believed in the mere existence of Jesus, that they...
Yes, there are dark forces, sometimes sent to destroy our lives. There are unseen forces that even fight against our children's destinies, but we have authority in Christ Jesus. As children of God, we don’t sit back and allow the enemy to take control of our lives, families, communities, or anything else. We are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. We are co-heirs with Christ; therefore, we have dominion. We are capable of turning lives around, and we should. Why not? Parents, don’t let Sunday service be the only time you shout and sin...
You're frustrated, because you want better, but don't know how to have better. You're tired of mediocrity. You don't have to be rich financially, to have an extremely rich life, and you know that. You are just tired of feeling cheated. God wants you to come in to Him, shut the "door", and sit at His feet. What you're looking for (answers, solutions, clarity, healing, provision), is all in His presence. How long are you going to settle, knowing God has the very best for you? How long will you be afraid to make the necessary moves and take the...
