Chopping Wood: The Appraiser
At first, I thought I was still in what Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts calls the “dangerous prayer.” As discussed in previous blogs, the prayer is this: Father God, Please remove from my life anyone or anything that cannot stand in Your presence. Strip away everything that is not of You, so that all that remains…

Tabitha, Arise: Your Life Matters
(Old to me, new to you. From July 28, 2025) It’s no coincidence that I just completed a personal three-day fast, much like Esther before she approached the king, risking her life to save her people. It’s no coincidence that in this same spirit of boldness, my three-year-old daughter, without prompting, often grabs my face…

The Great Physician: When Environment Meets Assignment
“ I am the change I want to see in this world” Have you ever gone somewhere you felt deeply led to by the Holy Spirit? And while you were there, you realized you were not merely in a building. You were in her presence. Her being the Church. Scripture gives us this language because…

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 Art of Translating Mother’s Day
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you” – Dr. Maya Angelou  The art of translating pain is the profound ability to articulate what hurts in a way that someone whether familiar or unfamiliar with the experience, event, or situation can understand. I did not realize it was time for…

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…

The Undoing, The Becoming, The Knowing
Before you can become, God must first undo you. And it’s in that undoing that a deeper knowing is birthed. I was first undone, and from that undoing I gained the knowledge to become. Then, in my becoming, the knowing was confirmed. Before I could become who I was meant to be, I had to…
