That One Time I Went to Jail!
Trusting God in difficult times can be hard. Whether born again or not, painful seasons in life will be inevitable. Job 14 says, "Man born of woman is of few days and full of trouble..." He will use us in any circumstances, even in the darkest times, so His message of Love can be put right. Every trial God sends, even our daily frustrations, are meant to test us and grow us stronger in faith.
Join this conversation as I share how I landed in jail and served God’s will as He desired. I own the truth that when you are in a dark time, trust God, who gives you light to see the good in all situations. This is an honest message that is always true.
Tune in!
During this episode, you will learn about;
[00:06] Episode intro and today's focus
[01:15] Actions that landed me in jail in 2015
[07:38] Taking it positively inside the jail cell
[09:12] The peace of God that engulfed me despite the circumstance
[12:30] God’s plan isn’t always our plan
[15:33] Stories of other women that moved my heart
[17:21] Sunday morning- women thirsting for God
[22:06] Leading the women to give their lives to Christ
[24:40] Seven years later- Served the purpose of God
[27:07] Allow God to use you for His glory no matter the situation
[30:09] Do not be afraid to share what God has done for you
[32:46] Wrap-up and call to action
Notable Quotes
Your circumstances and situations will change, but God will never.
Anything that has happened to other people could just have happened to you as well. It’s only by the grace of God.
Allow God to use you and speak to you during tempting times.
When God does something in your life, don’t keep it to yourself.

Season 3 Finale; What Are You Afraid Of?

What do you do when you have fears in your relationships and marriage? Or when you get triggered by your childhood and past experiences? Fear has a way of showing up in our relationship and/or marriage. Sometimes we fear that our marriage may not last, we won't be good parents, we won't manage money well making us doubt ourselves and question our very being. We can't always keep our fears at bay, but we don't have to be trapped by them.

If what people say or do sometimes trigger fear in your relationship and marriage, you need to be honest with yourself and dig deeper. Don’t just look at how you think, what you see, what is going on, and how it is making you feel. Look at why it’s making you feel that way and find the real underlining issue.

Tune in!

During this episode, you will learn about;

[00:00] Episode intro

[02:14] Today’s focus: What Are You Afraid of

[03:41] Digging out the root and finding the real underlying issue

[04:08] How childhood experiences can trigger fear in your marriage

[06:30] Find out what it’s that you are afraid of

[07:11] Fear does not come from God; 2 Timothy 1:17

[07:41] God cares about you and the things that you fear; 1 Peter 1:5-7

[08:14] Being honest with yourself and your partner and doing the work

[09:08] How to move past your fears

[09:17] Ending the show and call to action

Notable Quotes

  • Fear always has a way of showing up
  • Cast all your fears on God, for he cares for you
  • You don’t have to say it out loud to the world; say it to yourself.
  • It’s not going to be easy or comfortable, but it’s worth it
  • You have to be honest with yourself, your partner, and your children to move past fear

The Best of Season 2 Interviews
In today’s episode, we’re taking a dive into the best of Season 2 episodes, "interview style." So what we’re going to do is dive into specific episodes and pull out the nuggets and gems and put them altogether for this episode.
We're going to start off with Episode Seven from season two chasing your dreams while in a relationship where I interview husband and wife Charles and Ashley Jenkins. And then we're going to Episode Eight where I interviewed Dr. Kia Monique Jones about Mentorship in the Black Community, and then we're going to rewind just a little bit when I interviewed Ashley Jenkins on episode three, where we discuss blended families. And last but not least, we're going to end today's episode with the interview that I started the year off with, with my husband Corey in episode one with relationship goals for the new year. I really hope you guys enjoy this compilation that I'm putting together from the best moments of season two, "interview style!"
[02:51] Ep. 7: Chasing Your Dreams While in a Relationship: Interview with Ashley and Charles Jenkins
[03:19] I want to know tell us how you guys met. How did you guys become Charles and Ashley Jenkins?
Well, a lot of people don't know, we actually met online dating app. Yes, we met on a dating app. For myself, I had got on the app because I was engaged before I met my husband. And I had gotten out of a really bad relationship. So I just was like, I'm just going to, you know, get on the dating app, meet friends type of thing. And so I met my husband .
[04:30] Do you guys encourage it? (Online dating) You think that's a great place to start?
I don't think there's anything wrong with the dating app, you know, as far as a good place to start. Ashley Jenkins
[05:57] Do you guys think both parties can chase their dreams at the same time?
I believe both, both people can chase their dreams, and entrepreneurship at the same time. Charles Jenkins
[07:05] What did that look like? For you guys? Like, what if you had to give us summarization of who was chasing their dreams? And who kind of had to take the backseat while the other person chase their dreams?
To go back to our situation, personally, like Charles actually had a business before I did. So he had his own auto glass business. And so then it shifted to now I have the business and he's working. And so I think it changed for us with seasons, like it was his season, at one time because of the finances, but we just expressed like, we just don't have it where we can both pursue it at the same time. So we've both had our opportunities to support each other.
[09:48] How does that work when you're trying to raise young children and still chase your dream and your relationship?
Giving each other that time to get away and then work on yourselves is important for you have to be able to get those things done. Charles Jenkins
[11:51] Is there anything else before I let you tell my audience how to find you guys?
Just forgive. Remember why you said your I do. And I hope that y'all like each other on those days when that love tank is not as full as it was when you got married. - Ashley.
Don't give up on what you want to do or doesn't think you can't do so

You Don’t Really Expect Women To Do It All, Do You?

Why are women expected to do it all? The world is changing, and women are coming into their own. Traditionally, women have been expected to be the primary caretakers of the home and children, but times are changing. In today’s episode, we are going to talk about why society expects women to do all things, why both parties need to contribute in a marriage, and the benefits of doing what you are good at in any relationship.

Key Highlights

[02:47] How the society views women

[05:35] Why women are expected to do all things

[06:55] How time has changed

[08:36] Why both parties need to contribute to a marriage

[11:07] Doing what you are good at as a couple

Quotes

  • “You can’t compare today's time to how it was when our grandmothers were taking care of our homes because time has changed. There are so many different things that affect how things happen in the home now.”
  • “The view that the society has that women should take on the bulk of all things and still work is wrong.”
  • “For any relationship to prosper, both parties need to contribute.”
  • “In a relationship, people should do what they do best. If you love cooking, then cook.”

You Cannot Pour From an Empty Cup

[16:59] Someone else can also do it

Quotes

  • If we are not taking care of ourselves we will give from a place of deficiency
  • If you never take the time to rest and be renewed you will be burnt out
  • If we don't learn healthy mechanisms and ways to deal with our emotions, they will hurt the people we love the most
  • Always choose to take care of yourself so that you can give from a place of overflow and so that you can be the best version of you

Making Your Partner A Priority

Have you ever felt that you are not a priority in your partner’s life, you’re receiving their leftovers, or they are not spending enough time with you? You have to make your partner feel good and make time to connect with them. It is one thing to tell them they are your priority and a whole different ball game to ensure this is reflected.

More often, people let their hobbies, work, family, friends or even kids hinder them from connecting with their partners. Your hobbies can be a great thing, your friends, kids, your work can be awesome, but all those things can kill a relationship if they are not in their rightful place.

In today’s episode, I share how you can do just that. From understanding what it entails to make your partner a priority, things that can take away priority in your relationship and practical approaches to change this dynamic. If you’re looking for ways to improve your relationship and make your partner a priority, this episode is for you!

Key Highlights

[02:03] What priority means

[03:33] Examples of things that can take priority in your marriage or relationship

[04:45] How putting your kids first affects your marriage

[08:13] Prioritizing your friends over your relationship

[11:17] Balancing your ministry and your marriage

[12:41] Putting your spouse first before your family

[13:43] Practical ways to change the dynamic

[17:15] Having check-ins with your spouse

[20:19] Scheduling time to connect with your partner

[21:35] Creating a safe space for your partner

[22:58] Trying to see things from your partner’s perspective

[24:57] Why you should make your partner a priority

Notable Quotes

  • Our children do not come before our spouses.
  • After God, our relationship with our spouse comes first
  • Even when you are in a relationship, you are still an individual. You still want to be the best version of yourself. If you are the best version of yourself, you will bring that into the relationship, and it will thrive.
  • The more your partner feels that a hobby or an extracurricular activity is coming before them, the more they will resent it or don't even want you to bring it up.
  • Your home is your first ministry. You can not skip home and go to the church to do ministry while skipping your first ministry.
  • If your partner comes to you and says they’re feeling left out, neglected, or not connected with you, please do not get defensive, don’t be upset, listen to them.
  • The time to address a complaint is not when your partner is trying to address what’s going on with them.
  • We do things we want to do. We make time for those things that are important to us.
  • When people cannot share how they truly feel, when they feel they don’t have a safe space, they keep it in till they can’t anymore, then they blow up.

Who Are You Listening To?

Have you ever had someone give you an opinion based on their experience? Maybe they told you not to try something or that wouldn't work out or you shouldn't do it that way because of their perspective? Because of how it worked out for them or did not work out for them?
It's hard to make the right decision when so many people around you have their own opinions. It's easy to get confused and stressed out about what you should do. You have so many choices and it is hard to know who has the best advice for you.

It's all about knowing who to listen to. So, who should you listen to? Tune in to today’s episode to find out more!

Notable Quotes

  • Just because you had a bad or negative experience does not mean everyone else will. Don't push your negative views on others. And don't let others’ negative views influence you.
  • God’s promise for you will exceed what anyone else has to say any day, but you have to believe it for yourself.
  • God has made a promise to you a promise to restore that relationship, a promise to heal your heart, a promise to open up the windows of heaven, a promise to even give you some of the desires of your heart. Don't let what others say or think about your situation detour you. You will end up like the Israelites wandering in the wilderness when there's a promised land already waiting on you.
  • Listen to your voice. Listen to your desires. Listen to what God is saying to you. Listen to the direction he's trying to take your life.
  • What may have been impossible for someone else in their life, doesn't have to be your experience.

In-law Relationships

A lot of people when they hear the word in-laws, they automatically assume the parents. But the name stretches way further than that to any relative or family member of your spouse.

While many couples ignore having a discussion about building healthy in-law relationships when they get married, this issue has become one of the major problems in marriage if one side of the family is toxic. If not properly addressed, things could easily escalate and even lead to divorce. It’s always better to have this discussion early enough, set boundaries, and know how both sides can work together to support your marriage.

In today's episode, I share with you how you can just do that.
