In this episode, we are discussing our ability to trust God and His love for us. Many times we say that we trust Him , but our actions prove that we don't. Being on a journey with God will cause you to take inventory of your life and the way you are used to doing things. Although at. times we think are actions are harmless, they can prohibit us from living the peaceful life God has promised to those who trust Him. Today I challenge you to release your need to understand and rest in His promises.Key takeaways:Meditate on Proverbs 3:5-61) Don't try to make sense of your life's circumstances-       Some times God will allow you to know or understand why something had to happen, but sometimes He won't. Learn to trust that either way He is still in control.2) Don't try to figure out what your 'next' will be or look like-       God's plans will always be bigger and better than anything we could have done for ourselves. Rest in His promises and have a posture of expectancy.3) Don't assume you know what's best for you-      Getting what you think you want won't always give you the outcome you expected. Trust God you give you what He has for you in His time.

In this episode, we are discussing the reality of what we experience when God seems to be uninterested in our prayers or we just feel disconnected altogether. The truth is, God has never left us and He never will. Regardless of how we feel or how we perceive His actions we have a choice, continue to be intentional with our relationship with Him or use it as an opportunity to disengage. Relationships take work and you have to be willing to do your part, remember to focus on what IS in your control. Today, I invite you to push aside what you thought having a relationship with God was supposed to be like and get comfortable having the tough conversations with Him.Key takeaways:1) Invite God into the small moments-       Be vulnerable, say what’s on your mind & be honest!-       Practice inviting God into the small moments to cultivate a closeness with Him2) Make God a priority in you life-       Fit your schedule around God and create a  routine to spend intentional time with Him-       Discover how you most authentically connect with God3) Continue to do the work regardless of how you feel-       Relationships require commitment, challenges will come but keep showing up-       Read Hebrews 11:6

In this episode, we are discussing the reality of what we feel when the blessing we prayed for brings us more than we feel we can handle. It's easy to have the excitement when it first arrives, but when we begin to experience the weight of that new level, we can begin to resent the very thing we asked for. The truth is, we were never created to do it on our own, yet out of habit we try to. Today, I invite you to get honest with yourself and with God and admit that on your own, you don't have what it takes.Key takeaways:1) Trust that God is for you.-       God wants you to succeed, He is not trying to set you up for failure.-       Read and reflect on Isaiah 41:10 & Proverbs 16:32) It's a good thing to need God. -       Never get too prideful and think you can succeed on your own. -       Read and reflect on 1 Corinthians 12:9-103) Your life and your journey are not about you.-       Every opportunity that God brings you to is an assignment to partner with Him so that He can bring His will to pass.-       Read and reflect on Philippians 1:6

In this episode we are digging into the reality of growing up! We are all as close to God as we chose to be, so the real question is how bad do we want it? As our journey with God evolves, it will require more of us and that can be uncomfortable. Although our process of growth doesn’t happen on our own timetable, participation and intentionality are required. Get ready to ask yourself the tough questions and be honest with God because there are levels to this. Key takeaways:-       Expect the honeymoon phase with God to end, real love has depth-       Ge comfortable with cutting ties with things that will distract you/hold you back-       Utilizing other people's journey as a barometer for your own will fail youScriptures to reference:Luke 17:33 James 4:17Jeremiah 29:13

In this episode we are tackling how to make sense of our circumstances when we are trying to do the right thing and have faith, but things seem to still be working against us. There might be a few reasons why God may be allowing a difficult or uncomfortable season in your life but regardless of what your circumstances are, God loves you and nothing will change that.Key takeaways:1. God may be trying to grab your attention through your circumstances2. Often times God will use difficult or uncomfortable situations to develop your character-       Growth develops through resistance3. As a follower of Jesus, opposition is part of the territory-       Sometimes the presence of opposition is confirmation that you are headed in the right direction 4. Regardless of what season you find yourself in, it's always important to evaluate your heart posture5. Be ok with accepting that you won’t always understand why something had to happenJohn 16:33

In this episode we discuss the journey of becoming. As we embark on a new year, having goals is admirable, but if you don't know where you're headed what are you really working towards? Whether or not you move forward with intentionality, you are on a journey of becoming someone so why not invite God into the journey with you.Key takeaways:1. Self- evolution begins with self-awareness -       This is a time to reflect and work on self; don’t waste it-       Ask yourself:    o   What are the patterns that I have that don’t serve me?    o   What do you need to unlearn?2. Find joy in the journey of unknown -       Be open-minded-       Remember God's promises; Jeremiah 29:113. Learn to love you, and your journey-      It may not look like what you expected, but expect it to be better than you think
