Discipline: A Post About Discipleship
Before reading, click on the first pic then #swipeleft⬅️ Ahem. Follow along. When Christ was finna head on out, He said, “Make disciples of all the nations and teach them to obey all the things I taught you” (Matthew 28:19-20, paraphrased).

This ain’t the time to turn back now.
One time, I found myself driving around Chicago on a mission not my own. As I drove into the city, I found myself both happy and heavy—excited to be back in a place where I felt most comfortable and happy as an adult, yet heavier and sadder as I passed landmarks that I’d not seen […]

Acknowledging WHY I eat
Notice how none of these things include being hungry? I wish the fat would melt away and the pain would go away and the habits would correct themselves but I know better cuz I’m carrying the fat of it all. 🤦🏾♀️ Some things. They don’t require a professional to tell you or show you. Some […]

Joyous Kwanzaa, Day 1: UMOJA
We have such misguided ideas about what unity is, what it looks like, how it works.

A successful civilization works because there are many […]

Submission and Salvation

Popular with God or Man?
The biggest struggle I have seen in body of Christ today—and in my own life—is the constant push and pull of popularity. The tough part about holiness is the initial walking away from people to pursue God. That walking away encompasses all that we crave: money, fame, power, privilege…the literal DENYING of self and crucifying […]

In His Presence Is Integrity
When I was out there doing wrong, having illicit relationships and doing whatever I felt like doing, I had ZERO integrity. Nothing phased me–nothing. I was truly the definition of lascivious, lustful, gluttonous…nothing looked like the fruit of the SPIRIT! When God began to heal me, He began to restore my sense of integrity. Things […]

God IS: A meditation on immutability and holiness
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Hebrews 13:8 So. I am reading a bible plan on my bible app that focuses on Rosh Hashanah, which is the Jewish New Year. The reason I started reading it was because it is titled “A Call to Repentance”. I am enjoying learning from it because it […]
