In Live Set Apart! Episode 10, I talked with the inspirational, encouraging, spiritual powerhouse, Khrystal Karlett. She truly blessed me! I enjoyed hearing about her journey to where she is now. God equipped her to lead people to freedom, healthy (and holy) living, and understanding God’s love as she not only went through but grew through various trials and tribulations.    She imparts her wisdom through her blog, Holy Appetite, its Instagram page, and her YouTube channel. I could’ve talked to her all night, but alas, this is only a 30 minute show.    Enjoy!   Live Set Apart!'s audience is growing as it becomes one of the best inspirational podcasts.

In Live Set Apart! Episode 05, I interviewed Korey Maryland, an accomplished musician and businessman and recent MBA.  Korey and I had the privilege of serving together at my home church, Word of Faith Family Worship Cathedral in Austell, GA, and he stood out! He never had a negative word to say, he was always encouraging, and he was always positive. He has just been a light and a constant source of encouragement. In this interview he shares some highlights of his journey and what keeps him pushing others to be all that they can be. You’ll notice a recurring theme that confirms that the road to discovering and fulfilling your purpose starts with connecting to the One who created you to fulfill that purpose. This episode builds upon the previous ones in a divinely orchestrated way.  👉🏾FOLLOW Korey Maryland Instagram @kjm299 👉🏾Connect with Live Set Apart!

In Live Set Apart! Episode 01, I had the privilege of talking to Dr. Nina Bronner, First Lady of my home church, Word of Faith Family Worship Cathedral in Austell, GA; founded by her distinguished husband, Bishop Dale C. Bronner. I love them both to life and was honored that she took the time to grace THIS podcast as its very first guest.    Dr. Nina, as she's affectionately called, is the church's Ministry in the Arts Leader and she also leads our women's ministry, Women of the Word--among countless other things. When I think about living set apart, I definitely think about her. Her light shines brightly in everything that she does (you'll hear why). She's an encourager with a divine gift of leading praise & worship and a superhuman gift of love. We talk about the key to organically walking into your purpose and some of the things she's experienced along the way.   Listen in...     Mission:  Our mission is to highlight stories of people boldly living out their purpose and changing the world in their unique way.
