28| Whether The Season, We Running
Christianity is not a safeguard against hardship in this life. The fact is, as long as we live, we will face a lot of different things, both good and bad. But we keep moving; in fact we running.
The intent of today's episode is to encourage you wherever you find yourself while listening. This life may not be easy, but here is not our home and we have hope for an eternity in a better place. God is good and mercies endure forever.
Hebrews 12:1-2 instructs, Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, He endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now He is seated in the place of honor beside God's throne.
Let's go running!
27| The Lord's Will Be Done
And we are off! 2024 is here and there ain't no turning back now. So then, what are your plans for the new year? Have you consulted God for how you should move and plan and goal set for the new year? If not, what are you waiting for?? Tune in to this episode to hear my thoughts on setting goals AND to hear an announcement.. what about, you ask? I guess you should listen and find out. 🤷🏾♀️
Here's to a new year filled with God's immeasurable blessings and grace.
Instead, you should say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” James 4:15
26| Goodbye 2023
This episode could be considered a 2023 wrap up of sorts as I wanted to provide an update before the year ended. In short, God's grace was sufficient for another year. Thank you for supporting the Jesus Affirms Me podcast. Here's to a prosperous, content filled 2024!!

24| The Secret of Being Content
In his letter to the Philippian church, Paul shared a secret. In Philippians chapter 4 and verse 12, Paul says: "...In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need." What is the secret that Paul reveals to the church and ultimately us today? Check out today's episode where I share with you Paul's secret and how the Holy Spirit has used this message in Philippians to bring about repentance and acknowledgement in my life.
23| Heavy Love (feat. Pastor Rodney and Kiesha Wilkinson)
Happy Black History Month ya'll and Happy day of love!! Joining me on today's episode is Pastor Rod and Kiesha Wilkinson who dropped in to share a bit about their 17 years of marriage, friendship and partnership. Being in ministry for the entirety of their marriage is just a small taste of the wisdom they came to share. God's sovereignty is so evident in their ministry of marriage and our prayer is that you would be encouraged by their story wherever you find yourself, whether married or other, on your journey with Jesus.
Pastor Rodney and Kiesha Wilkinson have been married for 17 years and have been ministering for about as long. They have 4 children, Jordyn, Ziyon, RJ & Grace. Pastor Rodney is the Lead Pastor at Gospel Fellowship Church in Boynton Beach and Kiesha works as nurse and enjoys serving wherever there is a need. After spending 10 years in campus ministry at Florida Atlantic University, Pastor Rod, Kie and a core team launched Gospel Fellowship Church in Boynton Beach, FL.
22| Prayer Moves (feat. Tim Jean)
Today's episode is about all things prayer! Yes, prayer - talking to and with God. I'm really excited about this episode, because (1) I love being reminded about the invitation that has been extended to all of us to commune with the creator of the heavens and earth and (2) Tim Jean went in with the dropping of the nuggets. Tim is our guest on today's episode and really drives home what prayer is, how do we do it and he delivers it in a way that even if you haven't talked to God in years - you can rest assured that you can start right now.
Tim Jean was born and raised in Delray Beach Florida to two Haitian parents. His Father got into Ministry while he was in middle school. Tim's background is in education and music, which he's been a part of for most of his life. He has one sister and contends that his faith journey has been quiet, crazy and beautiful!!
21| Purposefully Called (feat. Pastor Rodney Wilkinson)
Purpose and calling.. are they the same, are they different and what the heck do they mean? If you're like me and have wondered what your calling is or what's your purpose - then you are in for a beautiful treat. Joining me on today's episode is Pastor Rodney Wilkinson. Pastor Rod breaks down the difference between the two and their places in our lives. Tune in and be sure to follow the @jesusaffirmsme page on IG to leave your comments on the episode.

20| Faith on Display - Hebrews 11
Hebrews 11 is also known as the Faith chapter or a chapter that highlights great examples of faith. And boy is it! Have you read it? If not you definitely should! It offers some beautiful reminders of Old Testament believers and their faith and how God is not ashamed to be called their God. I don't know about you but I want God to not be ashamed to be called my God. I want to be faithful in His sight and I want my legacy to be counted as one who faithfully served the Lord.
In this episode we talk about faith - what it is, how we do it and ultimately how we can be faithful to God because He was first faithful to us. Check out today's episode and be sure to like, subscribe and follow @jesusaffirmsme on Instagram to keep up with all the JAM'n happenings!

19| The Untitled Episode
18| Summer Break
This episode is late but still useful. The podcast will be back in the fall but right now, I'm on break. Sort of.. I am working on some other JAM projects that I can't wait to tell you all about. Speaking of break though, in this episode I offer some suggestions for slowing down, taking a sabbath and finding rest in your day. Take what you will from my suggestions, but I encourage you to live your life and not just skim it!

14| Be Angry But Do Not Sin
Ya'll I am angry! And so frustrated at the sin that is so rampant in our land that we struggle to see our brothers, sisters and neighbors in the image of God. So much so that the unjust murders of unarmed black and brown people by those who have taken an oath to protect said people is wreaking havoc on our nation. So, I'm angry and rightly so. In Ephesians 4:26, the Apostle Paul instructs us to be angry yet sin not; and don't let the sun go down on your anger. How sway? Sometimes the offense is so deep that I need a least of few days Paul.
In today's episode, I offer up a few suggestions for how to navigate this emotion in light of what's going on in our land. It is only by God's grace that we can explore forgiveness - first seeking God's forgiveness for our transgressions then trusting Him to help us to forgive our brothers and sisters.
Dearly beloved, take heart and know that God is sitting on the throne as the final and just judge. Believe in Him today for all of the help that you need to get through your go through.

12| Christ, Coffee & Affirmed in Jesus (feat. Karlisha Vice)
Jesus is obviously all we ever need but coffee though... I'm actually not a fan of the very popular caffeinated drink but communing with friends, family and others over food and drink is what Jesus did and He did it often.

09| Jesus Affirms Women
Nevertheless, time is moving and let's just thank God that we're still here because of His grace. There are many folks who cannot say the same. As we quickly approach the 1 year mark in which the very deadly, very present COVID-19 virus gripped our nation - let's take some time to pray for those of us who are grieving the loss of loved ones. The bible instructs us in Romans 12:15 to mourn with those who mourn.
March is also when we celebrate women and their history. But I'd first like to celebrate God and his creation of women. Jesus affirms us in our womanhood and there are many biblical references that point us to that affirmation.
In today's episode, we take a look at different scriptures that shows His affirming love for us and a couple of examples of His physical and supernatural presence that is with us and will find us wherever we are.
