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.

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.”

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?

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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)

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.

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.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ ‭HCSB‬‬
