How much control do you have over what you consume?

How do you remain hopeful while waiting on God? When life feels insufferable, there’s no better time to release disappointment and choose joy. You see, while it’s important to notice your feelings, you don’t want to stay there. If you only focus on the discomfort you’re feeling now, you’ll miss out on the [...]
When a name is mentioned — Oprah, Beyoncé, Steve Jobs — you don’t just think of a person. You think of their presence, reputation, and the mark they’ve made on the world. Even in our everyday circles, the same is true. There’s the friend everyone goes to for advice. The coworker known for [...]

Thank you, thank you. thank you!. Sitting here in tears. So many revelations about managing my time. Meaningful over urgent!! I just completed the YouVersion reading plan on Sunday, so I was thrilled to learn about your interview. Need to listen again and take notes.
Such a powerful, much needed episode!! Thank you for this!! ❤❤❤
Loved this podcast! I could totally relate to Talisha in that real or imagined disappointment causes me to back away from planning events. We have a tradition of allowing the kids to open gifts then take individual family photos. It's so hard watching them open gifts because they've bought for their kids and although I enjoy their reactions, there is usually a hint of sadness that grips me because I don't have kids of my own. Once it's time for family photos, I disappear because I don't particularly care to take the photo alone. So I may have to figure out a way to incorporate my nieces and nephews or my siblings in my photo. One thing I do enjoy is planning the holiday menu and cooking for my family/close friends. Anyways... thanks for sharing ladies! Enjoy your holidays!
Loved this! It was as if you were reading my mind when you mentioned speaking to singles who are waiting to make a house their home. I didn't want to buy a home until I got married; something that I saw my husband and I doing together. But I think that I will strongly consider the purchase for myself and allow God to work out the rest.
The mirror is a GREAT idea!!!
Loved the discussion on doing what you can, where you are! I am in this place of restlessness/anxiousness because I feel like I'm supposed to be doing something else but it's a premature moment. This was a great reminder!
Loved this podcast! As an introvert it was very refreshing to hear how Morgan manages some of those challenges in life associated with this. Great discussion!❤️
