Hey Fave!

Let's Talk Faith or FoolishnessWhen Does Trusting God Become Avoiding Responsibility?This week on Hey Fave!, we’re talking about trusting God while still doing our part. Can you pray for something you’re not prepared to maintain? And can preparation actually be an act of faith?Then we flip the conversation: even if we think someone else is making an unwise decision, is it our place to question it? Where’s the line between judgment and legitimate concern—especially when the decision affects more than just you?Faves, where do YOU draw the line? 👀🎧 Tune in and let’s talk about it!Business Spotlight:Bryan Pharr | IEXISTCoaching company and wellness brand founded by Bryan PharrIEXIST is all about helping people become all that they are and live lives filled with freedom, fruitfulness and fulfillment.Whether you're looking for personal development, inspiration, practical tools to help you move forward, or a community to grow with, IEXIST has created resources designed to help you discover who you are, overcome obstacles and become who you're capable of being.FB: IEXISTIG: iexistnation Website: https://becomingallthatweare.com/

We’re talking about where we went, what we did, our Epcot experience, favorite moments, and whether we’d do anything differently.And then…BABY CINCO! Ciara’s latest baby announcement has us asking: Is there such a thing as having too many kids? And if parents can adequately care for their children, is it anybody else’s business?We’re also getting into the responsibility placed on older siblings in big families and another debate: How many baby showers are TOO many baby showers?! It’s a little music, a little vacation recap, and a whole lot of opinions.Let’s talk about it, Faves!Business Spotlight:"The Shift" Anthology, Conference, and Book Launchhttps://www.cyclebreakers4life.com/new-page-1https://payhip.com/SHIFT brings together 19 authors and 19 transformational stories centered around faith, transformation, purpose, healing, leadership and more—all with the goal of turning real-life experiences into strategies that can encourage and empower someone else.And the ebook has already made an impact!

Let's Talk Is Convenience Making Us Lazy?Be honest: How many things do you pay someone—or something—to do simply because you don’t feel like doing them yourself? Life has gotten REALLY convenient. Hungry? DoorDash. Lost? GPS. Need something today? Amazon. Don't know the answer? Google it—or ask AI.But at what point does convenience become dependence?This week on Hey Fave!, we’re asking whether technology has simply made life better…or made us a little lazy. We’re talking about the basic skills we may be losing, our disappearing patience, how much we're willing to PAY for convenience, and whether AI could eventually have us outsourcing too much of our own thinking.And then we're putting ourselves to the ultimate test with “Could You Survive 1996?” No smartphones. No GPS. No streaming. No DoorDash. No social media. No Google. No AI. Could you make it for an entire month?!So, Faves: Has convenience made us lazy—or has it simply freed up our time to do other things?Let’s talk about it!Business Spotlight:Life in the Word Worship Center | Pastor Eddie ScottLevel Up Family Conferencehttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScHpQ1Otimg90QENCzNTYy2Qap-bFvlIxEy1hWSowu1wLOvKQ/viewformConnect with us! https://linktr.ee/litwwcInstagram: @lifeintheword Facebook: Life in the Word Worship Center

How much of who you are today is based on what you were taught growing up?This week on Hey Fave!, we’re talking about the things we were taught that we eventually had to unlearn. From how our childhood experiences shape the way we view men and women, to the different expectations placed on boys and girls, we’re asking how much of our adult behavior can be traced back to what we saw, heard, and experienced growing up.We’re also getting into emotional vulnerability, gender roles, unhealthy lessons that once felt completely normal, and the difference between allowing your upbringing to explain your behavior versus excuse it.At what point does “That’s just how I was raised” stop being enough? And once you realize something you learned was unhealthy, whose responsibility is it to change it?Plus, we’re asking whether there are some things our generation has tried so hard to unlearn that we may have swung too far in the opposite direction. 👀Let’s talk about it, Faves! 💕Business Spotlight:The Funk | Lexington, NCThe Funk offers classes, workshops, special events and creative space for things like photography, dance and fitness, mentorship, private lessons and other collaborations.

Let's Talk Moving Away for Success: The Case for StayingWhat if success doesn’t require you to leave home?Back in 2023, we asked whether moving away is necessary for success. This time, we’re flipping the conversation and making the case for staying.We’re talking about the benefits of putting down roots, building where you’re planted, creating opportunities in your own community, and whether technology has made location less important for success.But staying isn’t always a good thing either. When does staying become comfort or complacency? And how do you know when you’ve truly outgrown where you are?Plus, our Random Question: If money and career opportunities were exactly the same everywhere, would you stay where you live now or move?Maybe the opportunity you’re looking for somewhere else is something you’re supposed to build right where you are. 👀Let’s talk about it, Faves!Business Spotlight:Party of 5 Eventz | Sharita MathisEvent Design & Production serving Greensboro, NC and surrounding areas.InquiriesIG: @partyof5eventzhttps://www.partyof5eventz.com/
