To Be Heard Podcast

You've heard me talk about this in previous #ToBeHeardTuesdays... You've studied this topic with me before on ayanasymone.com/blog... And, now? We are revisiting the much-needed conversation again in today's episode. I'm talking about: HUMILITY. If we are truly going to walk in our purpose & be who God has called us to be, we cannot possibly do that without keeping a humbled heart posture. Lucky for us, we're going to learn how to stay humble today by studying a significant passage of Scripture. You'll have to press play to hear more of what I mean!
