My Faith Is Bigger Than My Fears Podcast

On today's episode, we are talking about how we allow to many people to have too much access to us and how we are not obligated to share things with others. You don't have to share our next moves, business ideas, or even allow people in our space. It's okay to set boundaries so that people don't have access to you at all times. Sometimes we have to establish business hours, 9 to 5pm, with certain individuals, and that's okay.

Evan Jesus didn't allow everyone to have access to Him. Even Jesus would remove certain people who were doubting when He was performing miracles. Jesus only allowed Peter, James, and John to have complete access to Him, especially during intimate times only when He allowed them. Even Jesus set boundaries.

I have learned that setting boundaries protects my peace, my space and I have establish healthy boundaries for myself, limiting who has access to me.

Listen if I set boundaries with who I give access to my children then why should I not set the same boundaries for myself? Everyone does not need to have complete access to you remember that. Think about it this way: If CEO's or business owners have assistants, that means you have to go through their assistants, not everyone is able to go straight to the CEO, so why should everyone have that access to you?

EP. 17 Being called for such a time as this?

Today's episode is speaking about being called for such a time as this as we reflect on what does that mean being called and how God calls us to use our voice, spread the gospel, and show up boldly for God.

Two examples of people being confident at a time like this are Queen Esther and Paul. How God used them both for such a time as this, and how they were both willing to put their lives on the line to save their people, while also spreading the gospel to non-believers, and going before the king even though the king didn't call for you.

Scriptures: Esther 4:11 ; 4:14 NKJV " For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
Acts 9:1-9
Matthew 22:14

So answer these questions: How is God using you in this season? Is it for you to use your voice? Are you to be standing for what is right or go and spread the gospel? I pray that when God calls your name, you will say, 'I have been called for such a time as this.'

EP 19: It's my birthday, reflection time.

On today's episode, I am reflecting on my birthday and year 42. It's definitely been transformative journey with its share of triumphs and setbacks, but I firmly believe that this month of May and the rest if the year will be truly remarkable. I am trusting God through year 43, and I have a lot to be thankful for, and I am excited for God's promises because He is faithful.

Even though I didn't get to accomplish everything on my list for the year of 42, and I understand it's OK. We shouldn't beat ourselves up about things that we didn't get to accomplish; I am thankful for the things that I did get to accomplish, like my podcast.

Here's to year 43, and knowing that God hears our prayers, knows our thoughts, and confirms His words. I know that God abides in me, and that's the best gift I could ever ask for.

Wishing a Happy Birthday to all May babies, a blessed Mother's Day, and sending love and prayers to all mothers who have experienced the loss of a child this month.

I leave you with Mason's favorite scripture: ' I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him,the same bringeth forth much fruit:without me ye can do nothing." John 15:5 KJV
