Is something I grew up in, left for 15 years and returned to. I’m sharing my perspective on the Black Church, its history, its legacy, what we may not have learned from it as well as where it can improve.
It’s been over a month since the Safe House International Faith Fellowship. It was such an experience. I really haven’t been able to put into words the feeling that engulfed the gathering. Each of the speakers really sat in God’s presence and delivered HIS word and not something that would make them go viral. For […]
I finally watched this panel discussion and it was full of so many gems that need to be on display especially within the Black Church. Personally, I believe women are oppressed because the Black Church was the first place that Black men were able to hold leadership positions, be looked up to and expected to […]
Back to finish what was started…… The floor began shaking then it just started moving, literally. Night 2 started off with so much energy. If you didn’t believe in the presence of God showing up then you have never been in a room where the floor was literally jumping. I have never been in a […]
I’ve never experienced in person such an outpour of the presence of God in a room before Mantles Conference. The hosts are Apostle Kevin Duhart and Pastor Lisa Duhart the Senior Pastors of The Rock San Antonio and The Rock Houston. It was overwhelming in the best way possible. I attended not knowing any of […]
This was shared as a word of encouragement for a women’s prayer group. [It has been edited for this blog post.] If you can’t see the video, click this link: https://youtu.be/e8LAdMwCjxY 12 Not that I have already reached the goal or am already perfect, but I make every effort to take hold of it because […]
How do I want to start this book review? It’s been a while since I’ve written one. This book was gifted to me by the wife of the author. We went to ministry school together. Now I’m working through my issues with men telling women how to be women or what’s expected of women from […]
This was a word of encouragement I shared with a ladies’ prayer group. [It has been edited for this blog post.] Scripture Reference Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]. Romans 8:37 AMP translation Don’t […]
I’m going to use the story of a little unknown woman in the Old Testament to illustrate how we can allow God to use an unlikely victor to transform our lives only if we just obey His Word. Read about Jael in Judges 4:17-24. You are what you worship. If we’re being honest a lot […]
This is a word of encouragement I shared with a ladies’ prayer group on dealing with spiritual warfare while fulfilling the assignment God has given you. [Edited for this blog post.] My scripture reference: Matthew 10:22, Mark 13:13, Luke 21:17,19, John 15:18,19 CSB 22 You will be hated by everyone because of my name. But […]
This was the sermon I preached during our preaching practicum in ministry school. We were given 8 minutes to preach a scripture(s) given to us. We had no idea when we would be called so we had to be ready to preach at any time. Y’all we had to prepare 6 sermons in 3 weeks. […]
