Usher, Destiny’s Child, Eminem, 50 cents, Lil wayne.. As a pre-teen, the sounds of these artists vibrated against my bedroom walls day in and day out.  My momma must have been really tired 😂😂😂.  If you are an 80’s or 90’s baby, you know what I’m talking about. You...

In church culture, we hear the word, “flesh” quite often.  This word “flesh” invokes a variety of metaphors vividly describing what should be done to this “flesh”.   We are told to kill the flesh, crucify the flesh, resist the flesh.  Every single metaphor accurately...

“I have never been discouraged,” said no person ever, and if those words were ever spoken, it was probably a bold-faced lie.  No matter who we are or where we are from, we have all faced feeling discouraged in one form or another.  More specifically, in 2020, it seems...

Being a history maker is seemingly legendary, right? Oh, there are significant bragging rights attached to being the first.   The first man to walk on the moon, the first self-made millionaire, or the first person in your family to go to college.  While all of these...
