Made In His Image

Words that Build

To be a son or daughter of God is to take on his likeness. In his likeness, he gives his traits to us. One of them is life and death in the power in the tongue. When God speaks... and when we speak! Sit with me for just a little to talk about that power, and how to honor him with it.

Objects in the mirror are not as close as they appear.

Hey besties. This year is coming to a close and we’ve checked our mirrors, grieved, got up, rested, made hard decisions and went against the grain and praise God we made it to the end. This is the perfect time reflection and time for reevaluating. But not reminiscing. Whatever is behind you, contrary to what the mirror on your car says, is NOT as close to you as it seems to be. Let's leave it there. Jesus said to remember Lot's wife. So let's not stay back there for too long, mkay? We move. Overview - Jesus, is it that deep? - Don't look back. - Where are your eyes? - "That's just my story." - Sojourners. Not citizens. - Proverbs 29: 18-19 - Domino effect. - Lay aside EVERY weight. - What active choice are we going to make in 2024. - Windshield is bigger than the rearview mirror for a reason. - Romans 8:28. - Give God his job back! - More than you could ask, think or imagine. - I am doing a new thing. Do you see it? Whether you find this February 4th 2024, or December 30th 2023, Happy New Year :)

Offense, Defense, Transition.

Mercury is in microbraids, and life is changing. Since 2024 started, both myself and those around me sense the same thing. Whether it’s starting new, starting over, starting again, leaving behind or stepping out, it’s all change. There’s two ways in which we can live our life and both are by choice. Whether you recognize you have the option or not. But, there is the gray area where we don’t know which option that is, and you're in the middle. Whatever season you find yourself in, be reminded God sees you is in each phase. • What’s holding you back? •Fear vs Discernment •Lots Wife •Lesson 13: acceptance. •Lesson 14: rewiring and unlearning. • Hit the switch. •Co-laborers with Christ (COLLAB). •What time the flow start? •Changing the narrative. We move. •Psalms 119:105: navigating uncertainty. •Letting go of what you cannot control. •Trust in God. •Write the vision. make it plain. run the play.

Made Against the Grain

Welcome back! This is a VERY special episode and edition of Made In His Image as we invite a DOPE guest! One of my very closest friends and brothers, Akil Sanders, host of Against The Grain podcast, to talk about what it means to be planted. From the life cycle of a seed, to relational well being with God and people, to letting the glory of God be on display in your life. I’m beyond excited for you to join in on the conversation as we pair up, search God's word as gardeners and find that we are “Made Against the Grain”. Overview - the life cycle of a seed and what it means to be planted. - what current stage of process are you in? - Being filled like a pen. - Source vs REsource - Accountability - Pruning is necessary. - Organic vs GMO - What did God tell ME? - Nothing is wasted. - What will you leave behind?

Choose her.

If we understood the power of our decisions, we’d realize how much we can’t depend on our own understanding to make the right ones. It makes me question, is it really that deep? And to be honest, it is. What will we choose?
