The Trade Off

In this episode, we dive into Mark 10:17-22 and seek a deeper understanding of the story of the Rich Young Ruler. We look into how Jesus' response to the Rich Young Ruler's question of "what must I do to inherit eternal life" tells us about the importance of heart posture. Jesus instructed the Rich Young Ruler to sell his possessions and give it to the poor, but what was he getting in exchange? What is the real trade off when you live in reckless abandon for the Lord? Listen for this Holy Spirit revelation that may or may not impact your relationship with the Lord forever!! I would love to chat with you!

It's Part of the Package

When we serve Jesus, having Him meet our needs is part of the package. He will meet every spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental need we have, and sometimes we don't even have to ask for it. But what do you do when you have a need that isn't being met? In Luke 11: 5-13, Jesus instructs us to ask, search, and knock until you receive an answer. The words persistently, shamelessly, and boldly are used in different translations of this scripture to describe how we should posture ourselves when bringing our needs before Him.  What have you given up on asking God for? Commit to the pattern of submittance. Tell Him what it is you need. Whether He meets your needs with or without you asking, He is still the same. He is still holy & our provider. He is lending you His ear, so what will you say? I would love to chat with you!

Acceleration Mode

Many people have been living at a slower pace. The pandemic forced us to slow down, and society has encouraged us to slow down, but the Lord is ready to set a new pace for those who are willing. He is calling those who are ready for their next assignment, season, level of faith, etc into ACCELERATION MODE!!! We have to get out of the “Slow & steady wins the race” mindset. If you stay “slow & steady” too long, then you won’t grow & be ready. In this episode I share a fresh perspective on divine acceleration, and how some accelerated seasons aren't intended for just blessings (as we have heard it taught), but for preparation. Don't let fear cause you to miss the purpose of an accelerated season of growth! Remember- The Lord doesn’t accelerate things that don’t have the capacity to go faster!!

Questioning the Voice of God

In this week's episode, we take a look at two ways we might be questioning the voice of God. For some of us, we might be questioning whether or not we hear the voice of God at all, or whether or not it is His voice or our voice we are hearing. If that resonates with you, then take note as I give a simple breakdown on the matter and practical ways to hear & know His voice more clearly.  For others, we might not question whether we hear Him, but we question what He has said. Although questions are not innately bad, we have to be careful that our questions do not jeopardize our trust in the Lord.  Whether you are questioning if you are hearing His voice or what He has said, it's time to receive clarity. We serve a living God, and He wants to speak to you for a time such as this!!
