Self-sabotage| Get out of your own way!
Have you ever struggled with self-sabotaging behaviors?
You set the goal, you have the game plan, but you let self-defeating thoughts or lack of action get into the way. During this powerful episode, Ebony discusses how "behaviors or thought patterns hold us back and prevent us from doing what we want to do"(C. Raypole). 2021 has to be a year of freedom, removing toxicity, challenging our thoughts/behaviors and making lasting productive changes in our lives. We are created to live abundant and fruitful lives! When we invite the Holy Spirit to lead, real change occurs.
John 10:10: The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. The enemy wants to try daily to get us off track. Our counterattack is to seek the Lord daily, remain on the path that he has for us and to live the abundant life he created for us.

It’s time to leap
Have you ever known it was time to take a leap but you were fearful? Have you ever felt a prompting from the Holy Spirit to do something completely out of the norm? Do you have a dream or a vision but can’t see how it will come to pass? Well this is the episode for you!
To kick off season two, Ebony discusses a recent leap she took, overcoming fear, putting herself out there and the importance of listening to the Holy Spirit.
It’s time to stop dragging our feet and living in fear. If Christ is calling you to do something, even if it sounds radical, DO IT! As we seek him every step of the way he will provide and make those unfathomable dreams and request a reality. It’s time to LEAP!
Matthew 6:33 |New International Version| But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
