This is the month that focus is given to Mental Health. The month whereby we focus on not only our own mental health check up, but it is also a good time to ask the question, “How are you?” To those we love and care about. Many people suffer in silence with mental health issues because they feel they do not have a safe place to share their innermost thoughts about their current mental status. Be it sadness, loneliness, depression, fear, grief to name a few, for many p...
Do you have a Goliath in your life? Something that has you gripped in fear? Something that gives you anxiety every time you think of it? We all have or have had certain things that cause us to fear. However, when we read the story of David and Goliath, David shows us how to deal with fear and how to be successful in defeating those things that appear to be much more challenging than we think. He also lets us know that sometimes we need to take off the heavy loads, tho...
There is so much going on in the world today. So, how do you keep going in a world with daily reminders of wars and rumors of wars, political upheaval, hurricanes and all kinds of weather changes, corruption in high and low places, division, and so many more changes taking place every day? Unfortunately, for many the response to happenings in the world today is to live in a state of anxiety. So many people today are anxious and fearful, and anxiety is at an all-time high.&...
I am certain we can all agree that today we are living in perilous times. Times of uncertainties, unrest, instability, fear, discomfort and the list goes on. There is so much going on in the world, in our country, in our city, our schools and even in our homes. Change is everywhere, and even when the change is good, there is the propensity for anxiousness, for fear, for doubt and all kinds of emotions. How do we face the changes, the uncertainties? Do we give in to the fear...
Hustle and bustle! That seems to be the nature of our daily lives. But what if we started taking a moment to just "Take a Break" from the hustle and bustle and just give our bodies, minds, and souls an opportunity to rest and reset? I think that sometimes in our active schedules, it would add so much to our lives if we would take time to just rest and reset. When we are in momentum mode, we sometimes do not realize that our bodies and our minds need to rest. You can’t...
Many individuals today continue to grapple with the pain of emotional and mental health issues, from depression, anxiety, sadness, fear, anger, worry, to the more complicated personality disorders. These are issues that have existed since the beginning of humankind and the complications of them continue to reach new heights every day. There are those who struggle with these mental and emotional issues day after day, seeking and searching for answers to their dilemma. And though so...
So many people are going through life with serious exhaustion and they don't always understand why. We are living in a time and in a society where everyone seems to be on the go and our bodies are suffering because of it. One of the culprits of this seemingly never ending tiredness, is a lack of sleep. Sometimes, out of habit, we take sleep for granted. We create unhealthy sleep patterns without realizing the effect it has on our body, mind, and spirit. God has given us a ...
The month of May marks the month that many come together in Prayer as we acknowledge the National Day of Prayer on the first Thursday of the month. It also marks the month for awareness for Mental Health and is called Mental Health Month. Many studies have been conducted to determine the power of prayer in dealing with mental and emotional health issues such as depression, anxiety, fear, hopelessness, anger and despair. It has been noted and concluded in many of these stud...
Are you good at making excuses? Is it challenging to make decisions that will move you toward purpose? Do you allow your good excuses to hinder your good intentions? We all know that excuses will cause you not to take action. And so, you find yourself drifting through life with no sense of direction or purpose. In fact, some might feel as if they are going around in one big circle. Nothing started, nothing completed. Today's episode will help...
Are you living your life with intention or are you just drifting through life? Often we don’t live with intention due to a lack of clarity of what we desire in life, and what God desires of us. And because of this lack of clarity, it is easy to just begin to drift. We then sink into a routine of just living a mediocre life, waking up everyday with the same routine, same habits, never seeking to change to live the abundant life that Jesus promises us. Living wit...
We live in a society today where it seems we are so busy that we only have time to take care of our individual needs. But have you taken the time to see how your life can have even more meaning when you take time to think about how your life is impacting others? There are so many things going on in our world today. We sometimes can feel overwhelmed and think that it really does not matter what we do, or whether it will serve any purpose or make a difference. And so, we resig...
This month we have focused on Springing Into Action by Taking Care of Our Bodies. The focus has been on the significance of decluttering our minds just as we declutter our living spaces. When we have noise in our minds, that is, allowing others to occupy our headspace, we become cluttered with worry which creates illnesses, ailments, aches and pains in our bodies. After all, Proverbs 23:7, says..."as a man thinketh so is he." Not only does excessive worry take its toll on o...
As we continue our focus this month on Springing Into Action: Taking Care of Our Bodies, I wanted to talk about this week on how we allow unwanted visitors in our minds to affect the wellness of our bodies. Two of the greatest battles we face each day are the food we eat and the lack of exercise our bodies get. Yes, the food we eat, especially the processed food, has a lot to be desired and it is a great contributor to the lack of energy we have to create and maintain a daily exercise r...
Spring is not just a time to declutter and clean our living spaces or our surroundings, it is also a time to refocus. The warmer weather and sunshine brings us out of our winter hibernation, where our thoughts have sometimes also hibernated. Just as our homes can become cluttered, so can our minds. And when our minds are cluttered, it affects our bodies and when our bodies are out of sync, it can affect our whole being, including our spiritual being. We are triune ...
This month’s focus has been on A World in Need Of Love. I think we all agree that life is so much better when we live with an attitude of love. Sometimes, unfortunately, many individuals have not learned how to love or even receive love from others, thereby missing out on the greatest emotion we can ever have and that is to love and be loved. Many individuals expressed their love this month to others in various ways. In this episode we will share one of the ways God expresses His...

Excitement is brewing for many because of this special day called Valentine’s Day! It has been called the most romantic day of the year. And even if romance is not currently in your picture, Valentine day is a day and opportunity to express love in all of our relationships....

This week's podcast will encourage you to start the New Year Believing Good! We are living in a time where there is much focus on believing in oneself. We hear it in our professions, motivational speakers, in social media and just society in general placing much emphasis on if you want to achieve, you must first believe that you can. And yes, it is important that we we believe in ourselves. It is important if we are to grow, achieve and succeed in this life. Believing...
This is a new year! Another opportunity to get off on a “good foot,” as the saying goes. Our last podcast message was titled, “Start the New Year Thinking Good.” The message today will help us to, “Start the New Year Speaking Good.” How do you speak to yourself? Is it negative or is it positive? Are your words making you better? What kind of conversations are you having with yourself? How do you speak to others? Is it with kindness? With love? Are you communicat...
As we look back on 2023, we want to make sure that we are thankful in all circumstances because that is the will of God. We have so much to be grateful for. God kept us throughout the year or 2023 and allowed us to see 2024. So the question is now, how do I want to start this New Year off? Hopefully, you left behind the things that were not serving you or anyone else and now you want to soar into this New Year. And you can, simply by Starting the Year Thinking Go...
