Like Honey In Your Mouth but Bitter In Your Belly
The real of this walk in Christ is not always a pretty picture, good feelings, and accolades from the people around you. Suffering and sacrifice are an expected and necessary part of our walks in Christ. Your fruit and your works? They aren't a sign that you wear, they are a lifestyle you live. This episode I tap into that. So let's talk about it.
Inspiration Scripture:
Romans 5:2-5 HCSB
[2] We have also obtained access through Him by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. [3] And not only that, but we also rejoice in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, [4] endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. [5] This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Do I HAVE to Die?
Dying to self is never easy. What do you do when you have to die in order to live in God's purpose? How do you navigate letting go of who you've been and operating in obedience and faith.

God, Who Are YOU?
When Moses asked God who he should say God is, the Lord replied "I AM..". Meaning: well that's for us to talk to Him and find out. Who is HE? What is He showing you about Him?
Exodus 3:14 HCSB
[14] God replied to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you.”
Exodus 3:14 HCSB
[14] God replied to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you.”

The Withdrawals of Sin
Romans 7:15-20
15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do....
Sanctification is not an overnight process. You cannot overnight it like a package. So what do you do when you accepted the Lord into your life, but that sin is still knocking at your door..tempting you. Are you going through spiritual withdrawal?

Pride and Humility
We've all heard pride comes before the fall. That's because pride is us building a tower to honor ourselves and challenging the sovereignty of God (tower of babel). On the other side? Humility. But what is humility? And are you really being humble, or just wearing the costume?
False humility is just pride in a different font or color. Let's talk about it.
Romans 12:3 NRSV
[3] For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.

Are You the 1 or the 99?
Focus Scriptures
Matthew 18:10-14 and Psalms 23:1-3
As believers we tend to love the idea of being the sheep that the Lord loves so much, He chases after it. Yes, He loves us so much that literally nothing can seperate us from His love. Yet, why do we continue to make Him chase us to give it?
Matthew 18:10-14 and Psalms 23:1-3

Obedience: Leads to the Works
Ephesians 2:8-10 Before we loved God, He loved us. It’s impossible to love Him more than He loves us or to earn more of His love or presence. Instead our obedience will draw us closer to His desires, that will activate what He has already created as the works for you to do.

Dating Your Idol
Focus Scripture-1 Corinthians 10:14-15. Is your partner your everything? Are you their everything? But is that really a good thing? God is a jealous God so best believe the altars of idolatry will get torn down or He’ll let you worship the gods you put there. Let’s talk about it

Yes, It’s Spiritual
Ephesians 6:12-18 As believers we have to be aware of the fact that we can’t fight physically against things that take spiritual weapons. Some of the strongholds in your life request fasting. Maybe you can’t overcome your anger because you haven’t dealt with spiritual root of the anger in your life.

Be Real So They Can Heal
Revelation 12: 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Your truth can be what helps someone overcome. Do you love your life, your image, your compliments so much that you can’t be open about what the Lord has done in you and for you? Sometimes people need to see the broken to know the Lord can heal.

Anxiety, Assignments, and Transparency
Even as a Child of God, your journey of being God’s perfect work is a PROCESS. We worry (I do), question our purpose (I do), and even struggle to give God every part of our lives (as we are, where we are). So tune in as I dive into this and give some real talk and honesty. #templebuilder

Dating Is So Ghetto
Hey welcome back to the Temple Builder’s Podcast. Today I have a guest! Tune in as me and my very lovely cousin sister Briana discuss the struggles and purposes of dating, both being unsaved and saved, and basically how ghetto is can feel sometimes. (excuse the quality of the audio and grant me grace as I work to improve)

What Is Love? I Mean, Really
Love is a universal thing that many of us seek or may have even found, but really what is it? What do you think love is? What does God say love is? And what does that mean for us? In this episode I dive into 3 big questions: How does God want to be loved? How do you love others? How should you be loved? Let’s look at what scripture tells us about the true nature of love and how that applies to how we approach love in life.

I Was A Fake Christian
This episode I discuss how I spent most of my life living lukewarm and legalistic. Claiming to be a Christian is easy, but the evidence comes up short if there is no transformation. When you are in Christ you become a new creature. The old is passed away. Let’s get into it. “Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.”

Being Intentional Everyday
In this episode I discuss how important it is to let God do the things in our lives that we keep trying to do on our own. I also discuss why it’s important to cultivate a life of prayer, edifying ourselves through the Word of God, and being honest with Him about every area of our lives. “But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me.”

Real Relationship & True Discipleship
In this episode I discuss further about how our works/fruit as believers should reflect the faith we profess. I also encourage people who, like me, have experienced church hurt to test their faith against God and who He is and not how people have failed to live up to His glory. Let God speak for Himself, not the actions of man. “Therefore, since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us. Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus, the source and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that lay before Him endured a cross and despised the shame and has sat down at the right hand of God’s throne.”

My Testimony: Nothing Else Can Satisfy
This episode I give a very real raw testimony of just how God has moved in my life. How He redeemed me from some very real broken places of trauma, grief, and struggles with mental health. Maybe some of my struggles will remind you of your own. Maybe some of my trauma will mimic similar trauma in your life. Just remember that the love of Christ can heal even the most broken areas of your life. “But because He remains forever, He holds His priesthood permanently. Therefore, He is always able to save those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.”

Come As You Are-But Leave Differently
The experience of God’s love and mercy is like no other feeling in the world. He is always standing at the gate of your heart waiting for you to invite Him in. Once, you do, the old you is passed away, and His gracious love surrounds you.“For Yahweh is good, and His love is eternal; His faithfulness endures through all generations.”

Messy Couch Discussions
Welcome to my new segment Messy Couch Discussions. Where we talk, laugh, and ki ki with Key. This episode is about women and our tendency to be competitive with each other when we don't have to. It's sad but most women tend to put up walls with each other that they don't put up with men. We're inclined to be suspicious or each other without taking the time to get to know it each other. We should be uplifting not tearing each other down. Have you experienced this? Are you the one doing the hating or being hated on? #LetsTalkAboutIt
