Has anyone ever told you how gifted you were? Or maybe you've experienced the opposite; no one has ever complimented you on your talents, your voice, your smarts, your ability to make art, so you feel like there is nothing special about you. Join our conversation as we discuss the giftings of the Holy Spirit and how God has manifested them in our lives, and how He wants to do the same in yours as well. We urge you to learn how God has gifted you.

Grab your time travel passport and come journey with us to a not-so-distant past, across the ocean. In this episode we focus on Sam's voyage to the United States from Jamaica. We discuss timing and how to navigate not getting what we want when we want it--especially when there doesn't seem to be a logical reason for us not having the thing. (Listening back to this episode for editing I learned a lot, and it resonated with me all over again. There were so many things in it I need for this current time in my life. I hope you can find a morsel of use in our words and testimony. - Destinie) Scripture: Romans 8:28 1 Samuel 15:22 Psalm 37:25 Romans 10:17 Psalm 84:11 Psalm 138:8 Proverbs 23:7 Phillipians 4:8 2 TImothy 2:13 We did a live stream!

In this, our very first live stream (yay!), we discuss a topic that has been masked, hidden, and shouded in shame for too long. In this episode we open up a dialog about pornography, sharing facts and experiences. As usual, we laughed and made confessions with the hopes of opening up a space for you to come and be vulnerbale with us, despite the fears and anxieties that weigh us down at times. We have declared freedom in this arena, and we walk in the promise that "we are no longer slaves."

Isolation has taken on a new meaning in 2020. In this episode we explore different areas of isolation and aloneness as we encourage you through your experience, using pieces from our own personal narratives. Let us remember to check on each other and that "No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main."

What a year 2020 has been already. It has been drenched in so many disappointments, setbacks, deaths, and still drips fear and anxiety into our lives. With each passing month we wonder, "What next?" "How much worse can it get?" In this moment, come. Sit. Pause with us and allow peace to consume your heart and your mind. Not the peace of this world, but peace that is other-worldy. Peace only the Lord can give--that is incomprehensible. That surpasses all our anxietes. Peace be still. Scripture used in this episode: Isaiah 43:1,2 Daniel 3:8-25 2 Corinthians 10:5 Matthew 6:25-34 Philippians 4:6 Psalm 91 Hey, Destinie here. I just wanted to address something I said in this episode. I said the length of time that Derek Chauvin held his knee in George Floyd's neck was three minutes and some change, I misspoke. I meant to say eight minutes and some change, almost nine. Thanks for listening and I hope you are safe. ✌🏽 ✊🏽 Don't know what to do or how you can help?

Is there more to COVID-19 than meets the eye? With all the uncertainties and challenges we have faced since the start of this pandemic, in this episode we speak our fears and conerns out loud. But, in the same breath speak hope and peace. We remind ourselves of the blessings that we have experienced during this time and those yet to come, and that God remains faithful.

In an time where most people don't think twice about giving “the gift of goodbye,” we want to tell you about the many blessings to be had in intentional friendship. In this episode we share how we became friends, and some of the practices we have cultivated and are continuing to grow within our friendship. Scriptures: Galatians 6:2 Colossians 3:12,13 Ecclesiates 4:9-12 Wheel of Emotions: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/11/01/73/1101739e7f0b286c5b516e4a48a385f2.jpg https://themighty.com/2018/11/i-feel-nothing-wheel-of-emotions/

"'Til death do us part." What image do these words elicit in your mind? A bride in a beautiful white gown? Or perhaps a myriad of wedding photos fraught with smiles and delicate foliage? In this episode we explore an unconventional, albeit still ancient, application to this traditional phrase. Through the lens of two bible characters we share its very relevant application to our lives. Scripture: Ruth 1; 3:1; 4:14-17
