• 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…

• Holy Ground: Public Repentance

  It’s like someone who cannot swim. God pushed me into the deep. “I was pushed hard, so that I was falling, but the LORD helped me.” (Psalm 118:13, ESV). He pushed me so that I was falling into the deep end of the pool. I guess this type of repentance and pruning is me learning how…

• 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…

• 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 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…

  “Don’t be a victim of circumstance. It doesn’t have to be the way you grew up!” – Shannon There is no pain greater than that of a child’s loss. It’s a pain so deep, I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. This next speaker, Shannon, shared that same pain with me. Though our experiences…
