Intentional Suffering: Until!

Sometimes pride and ego force us into what I like to call intentional suffering. Not suffering God assigned. Not suffering that was unavoidable. But suffering that continues because we refuse to seek the One who already has the answer. I know because I did it. And sometimes still do without recognizing it. Until. The season…

The Hand of God

The story of Moses is often told through the lens of the burning bush. I, too, have spent considerable time studying that moment. In my previous blog, The Crossover: Walking Out Generational Breakthrough, I explored the call of Moses and compared it to the call and commission of Joshua. Yet one of the beautiful things…

They Pushed Me: Check on Your Strong Friends

“I was pushed hard, so that I was falling, but the LORD helped me” (Psalm 118:13, ESV). What once felt like opposition I now understand, through Pastor Mike Jr.’s sermon, “You’ll Live” (April 5, 2026). I have entered a season of divine rerouting. Not because I was pushed. Not because I didn’t fall. Not because…

The Necessary Thorn:What Sin Produces Within Us

In Romans 7:8, Apostle Paul declares: “But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin lies dead” (Rom. 7:8, ESV). This is a heavy verse. Romans 7 carries tremendous weight as Paul describes unchecked sin, internal conflict, distorted desire, and the war between…

The Taste of Pregnancy: Daniel and David, Twice Confirmed

The moment you know you are pregnant is a moment you can taste especially if you are a mother like me who documents, note takes, and records everything not because I am absent from the moment but because I am trying to capture its essence before it slips away from me due to the unexpected…

Expansion Under Fire: You Are Shooting Blanks

“I can write it for you, but I cannot read it nor understand it for you.” © Tiara Christopher To expand under fire may seem counterintuitive. During COVID-19, Les Brown taught that in seasons of adversity, you expand. Shots may be fired, but the bullets will never have my name on them. Take Book of…

How to Make a Banana Split

“Life is like a banana split. It is not one ingredient that makes it whole, but many, each added with intention, creating something you could never build alone.” Tiara Christopher I did not see it while it was happening. I did not know I was being assembled, piece by piece, layer by layer, by a…

Hidden on Purpose: A Perspective on Joseph and His Brothers

Main Bible passages: Genesis 37–50 (ESV) During a live podcast with Kevin Lee, he asked me about the story of Joseph and his brothers. I didn’t have every detail memorized in that moment, but I said something that stayed with both of us: Joseph’s issue was not just his brothers. It was that everyone around…
