    THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Don't Let Yesterday's Pain Steal Tomorrow's Promise! Have you ever looked at your life and wondered, “Lord, is there anything better waiting for me?” Maybe you've experienced disappointment, heartbreak, rejection, financial struggles, or seasons when it felt like nothing was moving in your favor. Perhaps you've prayed, cried, waited, and wondered when your season of change would finally arrive. But hear this: YOUR STORY IS NOT OVER! What you've been through does not determine what God can do next. Your past may explain some of your struggles, but it does not have to dictate your future. God is still working, still moving, and still able to bring purpose out of seasons you thought would break you. Ecclesiastes 3:11 (KJV) reminds us: “He hath made every thing beautiful in his time...” God's timing may not always match our expectations, but waiting does not mean He has forgotten us. Sometimes, while we're waiting for God to change our circumstances, He's developing our character, strengthening our faith, and preparing us for what lies ahead. DON'T GET STUCK IN WHAT WAS! You cannot embrace a new season while constantly living in yesterday. Isaiah 43:18–19 (KJV) says: “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?” God's invitation is to remain open to His leading and trust Him with your future. The new thing may not look like what you expected, but you can trust Him to guide you one step at a time. YOUR BEST DAYS ARE NOT DEFINED BY YOUR WORST DAYS! Maybe you've been knocked down, but you can rise again. Maybe you've lost something precious, but you can still find joy. Maybe you've made mistakes, but you can still grow in wisdom. And maybe you're in a season where you cannot see the outcome—but you can still walk by faith. Philippians 1:6 (KJV) reminds us that God, who began a good work in His people, is faithful to continue His work. You don't have to know every detail of tomorrow to trust the God who holds it. Come expecting encouragement, renewed hope, and a fresh reminder that your current circumstances do not have the final word. Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep moving forward with God. THE BEST IS YET TO COME! I will not let yesterday steal my joy today. I will not let disappointment destroy my hope. I will not let fear determine my future. I will trust God's timing, follow His direction, and believe that He is still working in my life! 🔥 YOU HAVE SURVIVED TOO MUCH TO GIVE UP NOW! Your journey is still unfolding, your faith is still growing, and God is still writing your story. Don't give up in the middle of the process. Keep the faith, keep your heart open, and keep walking with God. The next chapter hasn't been written yet! 🙏🏽✨ If you would like to advertise your business, become a sponsor, donate, or have your video played, please visit us at www.linktr.ee/2Gone2LongJFR If you would like to listen in or become a part of The God Crew, you can join us every Tuesday and Thursday at 8 pm EST/7 pm CST and every Sunday at 9 am EST/8 am CST.

    Prayer In Our Fasting

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Seeking God's Presence, Not Just His Hand Fasting is more than going without food, and prayer is more than asking God for what we want. When prayer and fasting come together, we intentionally set aside distractions to seek God's presence, strengthen our faith, and align our hearts with His will. There are times when we need to step away from the noise of the world, quiet our minds, humble ourselves before God, and listen for His direction. Fasting is not about trying to force God's hand; it is about surrendering our own. Matthew 6:17–18 (KJV) teaches us not to fast for the recognition of people, but to approach fasting with a sincere heart before our Heavenly Father. WHY DO WE PRAY AND FAST? 🙏 To draw closer to God. Fasting helps us turn our attention away from distractions and focus on our relationship with the Lord. 🔥 To seek God's direction. Before making important decisions, we can pray and seek wisdom, discernment, and guidance from His Word. 🙌 To humble ourselves. Fasting reminds us that we depend on God, not simply on our own strength, knowledge, or abilities. 💜 To strengthen our spiritual discipline. Prayer keeps us connected to God, while fasting can help us become more intentional about seeking Him. 🕊️ To intercede for others. We can pray for our families, our communities, our leaders, the lost, and those who are hurting and in need of God's comfort. Ezra 8:23 (KJV) declares: “So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us.” Ezra and the people sought God through fasting and prayer. Their example reminds us that when we face uncertainty, we can humble ourselves and bring our needs before the Lord. DON'T JUST FAST—SEEK GOD! Are you fasting while holding on to unforgiveness? Are you praying for a breakthrough while refusing to obey God's instructions? Are you asking God to change your circumstances while resisting the changes He wants to make in you? Isaiah 58 reminds us that God desires more than an outward display of fasting. He calls His people to righteousness, compassion, justice, and genuine concern for others. Fasting should not become a religious performance. It should be an opportunity to examine our hearts, repent, grow in obedience, and demonstrate God's love. Remember, fasting does not guarantee that God will answer according to our preferred timeline or give us everything we request. It helps us seek Him sincerely and surrender our desires to His wisdom. PRAY. FAST. SEEK. SURRENDER. Come with a humble heart and an open spirit. Let this be a time of focused prayer, sincere repentance, spiritual renewal, and deeper fellowship with God. When you fast, pray with purpose. When you pray, listen with expectation. And through it all, seek God's will above your own! 🙏🏽 WE ARE NOT FASTING TO GET GOD TO DO OUR WILL. WE ARE FASTING AS WE SEEK TO ALIGN OUR WILL WITH HIS! ✨ If you would like to advertise your business, become a sponsor, donate, or have your video played, please visit us at www.linktr.ee/2Gone2LongJFR If you would like to listen in or become a part of The God Crew, you can join us every Tuesday and Thursday at 8 pm EST/7 pm CST and every Sunday at 9 am EST/8 am CST.

    INN L.U.V.E. 2: THE LOVE HE NEEDED — PART 2

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! The Man Who Changes the Story… From Inherited Pain to Intentional Love Part 1 opened the conversation. Part 2 goes deeper. What happens when a man realizes he's carrying pain he didn't create—but has the power to decide whether it continues through him? What happens when a son becomes a father and suddenly realizes: “I don't want my children to experience what I experienced.” Tonight, we're talking about the complicated space between fatherhood, manhood, love, absence, accountability, forgiveness, and healing. We're asking the questions that can be uncomfortable—but necessary: 💔 What happens when fathers never received the love they needed? 👨🏾‍👦🏾 How does an absent, distant, or emotionally unavailable father impact a son? 🪞 Can a man break a cycle without pretending the past didn't happen? ❤️ What does intentional love look like in fatherhood? 🔥 Can a son forgive his father without excusing the hurt? 💬 And what happens when a man finally decides, “The cycle ends with me.” Because breaking a cycle isn't simply saying: “I won't be like my father.” It's learning how to say: “I will become the father I needed.” And here's where this conversation gets real: What if the man who hurt you was also a man who was never taught how to love? Does understanding the wound change the way we see the person? Does forgiveness require reconciliation? Can you honor what your father gave you while acknowledging what he couldn't? And perhaps the hardest question: “What kind of love will YOU intentionally leave behind?” This conversation isn't about blaming fathers. It's about truth, accountability, healing, responsibility, and the legacy we choose to create. Because sometimes breaking the cycle means becoming the first person in your family to say: “It happened before me… but it doesn't have to continue through me.” 🔥 PART 2 — THE MAN WHO CHANGES THE STORY. Come with your experiences. Come with your questions. Come ready to listen. Come ready to tell the truth. 🎙️ INN L.U.V.E. 2 Real Talk. Real Love. Real Connections.

    STOP… LOOK… LISTEN!

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Sometimes God is speaking, but we're too busy talking to hear Him. We're praying for direction while making decisions without consulting Him. We're asking for answers while allowing our emotions, opinions, and impatience to drown out His voice. It's time to STOP… LOOK… LISTEN! 🛑 STOP! — Stop Long Enough to Hear God. Stop rushing. Stop reacting to every situation. Stop allowing fear, anger, pride, and frustration to make your decisions. Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is be still long enough for God to get your attention. Psalm 46:10 (KJV) “Be still, and know that I am God.” You cannot hear clearly when you're constantly making noise. If you're always talking, defending yourself, and telling God what you want, when will you make room to hear what He wants to tell you? 👀 LOOK! — Look Beyond What You See. Stop looking only at your circumstances and start looking to God for direction. What looks like a setback may be a setup for growth. What looks like a closed door may be God's protection. But don't assume every situation is a sign—seek His wisdom and discernment. Proverbs 3:5–6 teaches us to trust in the Lord rather than lean on our own understanding and to acknowledge Him in all our ways. Are you looking for confirmation of what YOU want, or are you willing to accept what GOD is showing you? 👂 LISTEN! — Are You Hearing the Word of God? There is a difference between hearing words and listening with a heart prepared to obey. We can hear a sermon, quote Scripture, and shout in church, yet ignore God's instructions when they challenge our comfort. James 1:22 (KJV) “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” God's voice will never contradict His written Word. We must learn to test what we believe we hear against Scripture, seek godly wisdom, and remain humble enough to be corrected. Sometimes we're not waiting on God to speak. God is waiting on us to obey what He's already said! STOP… LOOK… LISTEN! Before you speak—STOP. Before you judge—LOOK. Before you make a move—LISTEN. Stop letting your emotions lead you. Look at the fruit your decisions are producing. Listen for God's direction instead of simply following your own desires. You cannot hear God's instructions while insisting on doing all the talking! Come ready to quiet the noise, examine your heart, and strengthen your relationship with God. 🔥 STOP talking long enough to pray. LOOK beyond the problem and seek God's perspective. LISTEN—not just to respond, but to understand and obey! Your next breakthrough may begin when you stop telling God what you want and start listening to what He is telling you. 🙏🏽✨ Leading With Love - https://a.co/d/0dDZ3Osy If you would like to listen in or become a part of The God Crew, you can join us every Tuesday and Thursday at 8 pm EST/7 pm CST and every Sunday at 9 am EST/8 am CST.

    WHAT HAS GOD DONE FOR YOU?

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Your Testimony Is Somebody Else's Hope! Have you ever stopped to think about how far God has brought you? Think about the battles He brought you through, the doors He opened, the prayers He answered, and the times He carried you when you didn't have the strength to carry yourself. Somebody needs to hear your story! Your testimony is not just about what happened to you. It's about what God brought you through, what He taught you, and how His grace sustained you along the way. Psalm 107:2 (KJV) declares: “Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;” God didn't bring you through your storm for you to remain silent about His goodness. Your story could be the encouragement someone needs to keep going. Your victory could give someone else the courage to believe again. Your honesty could remind someone that they are not alone. IT'S TIME TO TESTIFY! Maybe God healed your broken heart. Maybe He brought you out of depression, addiction, or despair. Maybe He restored your faith when you were ready to give up. Maybe He provided when you didn't know how you would make it. Maybe He protected you from something you never even saw coming. Maybe you're still waiting for your breakthrough, but you can testify that God has kept you through it all! You don't need a microphone, a title, or a perfect story to testify. You simply need the willingness to share what God has done in your life. Revelation 12:11 (KJV) reminds us that believers overcame by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. LET'S TALK ABOUT IT! This is an opportunity to open your heart, share your experiences, reflect on God's faithfulness, and encourage one another through the power of testimony. There is no competition in testimony. Your story doesn't have to look like someone else's. Whether your testimony is about a major breakthrough or the strength God gave you to make it through another day, if God has been good to you, your testimony matters! Come ready to share, listen, encourage, and celebrate the goodness of God. You never know whose life may be changed by the words you speak. WHAT HAS GOD DONE FOR YOU? Don't hide the very thing God can use to help somebody else! Tell your story. Give God the glory. Let your testimony remind the world that His grace is sufficient, His mercy is real, and His faithfulness endures. SOMEBODY IS WAITING TO HEAR THAT YOU MADE IT THROUGH—SO THEY CAN BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN TOO! 🙏🏽🔥✨ If you would like to advertise your business, become a sponsor, donate, or have your video played, please visit us at www.linktr.ee/2Gone2LongJFR If you would like to listen in or become a part of The God Crew, you can join us every Tuesday and Thursday at 8 pm EST/7 pm CST and every Sunday at 9 am EST/8 am CST.

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! THE LOVE HE NEEDED Fathers, Sons, & Breaking the Cycle Part 1 — The Boy Inside the Man… What Was Missing, What Still Hurts? Tonight, we're having the conversation that many families feel—but don't always know how to say out loud. What happens to the little boy who grows up without receiving the love, affirmation, protection, guidance, or presence he needed? And what happens when that little boy becomes a grown man? Tonight, we're going beneath the surface. 💔 The father wounds we don't talk about 👨🏾‍👦🏾 The complicated bond between fathers and sons 🪞 How childhood experiences can shape adult relationships ❤️ The difference between being provided for and being emotionally present 🔥 What sons needed but never received 💬 What happens when the pain was never given a place to heal This isn't about pointing fingers. It's about understanding the story behind the man. Because sometimes the hardest person to understand is the man who learned how to survive—but was never taught how to express what he needed.

    JESUS IS SOON TO COME! WILL YOU BE READY FOR HIS RETURN?

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! We spend so much time preparing for birthdays, weddings, careers, retirement, and tomorrow's plans, but how much time are we spending preparing for eternity? The Bible reminds us that Jesus Christ is coming again. The question is not whether we can predict the day or the hour, but whether we are living in a way that honors Him. Matthew 24:44 (KJV) declares: “Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” Jesus is coming again, and no one knows the exact day or hour. This is not a message meant to create fear; it is a call to awaken our spirits, examine our hearts, and make sure our relationship with God is genuine. ARE YOU READY, OR ARE YOU JUST GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS? We can attend church every Sunday, sing in the choir, preach the Word, serve in ministry, and know Scripture—but are we truly living for Christ? Are we forgiving those who have hurt us? Are we walking in repentance? Are we showing love, practicing obedience, and seeking God's will? Are we living with eternity in mind, or have the distractions of this world made us spiritually complacent? Matthew 25:1–13, the parable of the ten virgins, reminds us of the importance of being prepared. When the bridegroom arrived, not everyone was ready. Some had prepared, while others discovered too late that they were not ready to enter. You cannot borrow somebody else's relationship with God. You must cultivate your own! HOW DO WE PREPARE FOR HIS RETURN? Repent sincerely. Turn away from sin and return to God. Accept Jesus Christ. Put your faith in Him as Lord and Savior. Stay spiritually alert. Do not allow the world to distract you from God's truth. Live what you believe. Let your faith be reflected in your actions. Love others. Show compassion, forgive, and walk in humility. Remain faithful. Keep trusting God even when the world encourages compromise. 2 Peter 3:11 (KJV) asks an important question about how we ought to live in light of the coming day of the Lord. The return of Jesus should influence how we live today. We are not called to sit in fear, speculate about dates, or judge who will be saved. We are called to be faithful, share the Gospel, and live prepared. JESUS IS SOON TO COME! WILL YOU BE READY? One day, earthly titles, possessions, accomplishments, and recognition will no longer matter. What matters is where we stand with God. Don't wait until tomorrow to surrender what God is calling you to surrender today. Don't let pride keep you from repentance. Don't let the pleasures of this world cause you to forget eternity. 🔥 THE QUESTION IS NOT JUST, “WHEN IS JESUS COMING?” THE QUESTION IS, “IF HE CAME TODAY, WOULD I BE READY?” Get your house in order. Get your heart right with God. Strengthen your faith and remain steadfast in His Word. Jesus is coming again. Live ready, stay faithful, and keep your eyes on the King! 🙏🏽✝️👑 If you would like to advertise your business, become a sponsor, donate, or have your video played, please visit us at www.linktr.ee/2Gone2LongJFR If you would like to listen in or become a part of The God Crew, you can join us every Tuesday and Thursday at 8 pm EST/7 pm CST and every Sunday at 9 am EST/8 am CST.

    SHAKEN BUT NOT EASILY BROKEN

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Life has a way of shaking us to our core. Sometimes the people we trust disappoint us, the plans we make fall apart, and the weight of our circumstances leaves us wondering how much more we can take. There are moments when we cry in silence, struggle behind closed doors, and fight battles nobody knows we're facing. But here's the good news: YOU MAY BE SHAKEN, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE BROKEN! Psalm 34:19 (KJV) declares, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.” Being a child of God doesn't mean you won't experience pain. It means you don't have to face that pain alone. Your faith may be tested, your heart may be wounded, and your strength may be stretched—but God is still able to sustain you through the storm. SHAKEN DOESN'T MEAN DEFEATED! You may have been hurt, but you can still heal. Your wounds don't have to become your identity. You may have been disappointed, but you can still hope. One bad season doesn't determine your entire future. You may have been rejected, but you are not forgotten. People's opinions cannot erase God's purpose for your life. You may have cried all night, but joy can come in the morning. (Psalm 30:5) You may feel weak, but God's strength is still available to you. (2 Corinthians 12:9) Sometimes God doesn't immediately remove the storm. Instead, He strengthens you to stand in the middle of it. You discover a deeper faith, a stronger spirit, and a renewed determination to keep moving forward. 2 Corinthians 4:8–9 (KJV) reminds us that we may be troubled on every side, yet not distressed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed. Read that again: CAST DOWN, BUT NOT DESTROYED! You may have been knocked down by grief, betrayal, financial struggles, broken relationships, or unexpected circumstances. But don't confuse what happened to you with who you are becoming. You are still here. You are still growing. You are still capable of rising again. And if all you can do today is take one small step forward, take that step with God. SHAKEN BUT NOT EASILY BROKEN! I've cried, but I haven't quit. I've stumbled, but I'm getting back up. I've been wounded, but I'm still healing. I've been shaken, but my faith is still standing! The storm may have tested you, but it doesn't get to write your ending. Your scars can tell the story of what you've survived, but your faith can testify to the God who sustained you. YOU BENT, BUT YOU DIDN'T BREAK. YOU WERE TESTED, BUT YOU'RE STILL TRUSTING. YOU WENT THROUGH THE FIRE, BUT GOD IS NOT FINISHED WITH YOU! Come expecting encouragement, renewed strength, and a reminder that, with God, your hardest season does not have to be your final chapter. 🙏🏽🔥✨ If you would like to listen in or become a part of The God Crew, you can join us every Tuesday and Thursday at 8 pm EST/7 pm CST and every Sunday at 9 am EST/8 am CST.

    THE GRASS ISN’T GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE… OR IS IT?

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Sometimes we become so focused on what appears to be better on the other side that we fail to recognize what God is doing right where we are. Other times, fear keeps us trapped in familiar places, relationships, situations, and mindsets that God may be calling us to leave behind. The real question is not whether the grass is greener on the other side. The question is whether God is calling you to cross over—or teaching you to cultivate the ground you’re standing on. In Numbers 13–14, the Israelites stood at the edge of the Promised Land. God had brought them out of Egypt, but when they saw the giants, fear began to speak louder than God's promise. They saw the obstacles and forgot the power of the One who brought them there. Numbers 13:30 (KJV) “Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.” Caleb saw the same giants as everyone else, but he responded with faith instead of fear. How many blessings have we delayed because we were afraid of what might happen if we stepped out in faith? How many opportunities have we missed because we allowed yesterday's disappointments to dictate tomorrow's decisions? SOMETIMES THE OTHER SIDE REQUIRES: Faith over fear. You may not see the whole path, but you can trust the One leading you. Courage over comfort. Familiar doesn't always mean fruitful. Discernment over comparison. Stop measuring your life against somebody else's highlight reel. Obedience over excuses. When God directs you, fear should not automatically become your reason to stay. Patience over impatience. Not every open door is your door, and not every delay means denial. But hear this: every opportunity is not from God, and every uncomfortable season is not a sign that you should leave. Pray, seek wisdom, examine the fruit, and make sure your next move is guided by God—not jealousy, frustration, or the desire to escape. Proverbs 3:5–6 (KJV) reminds us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and acknowledge Him in all our ways. Perhaps God is calling you to cross over. Perhaps He is calling you to stop comparing and start growing. Either way, you cannot allow fear to make the decision for you. THE GRASS ISN’T GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE… OR IS IT? Stop envying somebody else's field while neglecting your own. But don't let fear keep you out of the territory God has promised you! The other side may have giants, but it may also hold the opportunity you've been praying for. The journey may be uncomfortable, but obedience can take you places comfort never will. Don't stay because you're afraid. Don't leave because you're envious. Move when God says move, stay when He says stay, and trust Him with the outcome! 🙏🏽🔥✨ Leading With Love - https://a.co/d/0dDZ3Osy If you would like to advertise your business, become a sponsor, donate, or have your video played, please visit us at www.linktr.ee/2Gone2LongJFR If you would like to listen in or become a part of The God Crew, you can join us every Tuesday and Thursday at 8 pm EST/7 pm CST and every Sunday at 9 am EST/8 am CST.

    Ladies Love Lounge: Changing Seasons...Changing Hearts

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Are You Looking for Love... or Just Company? The weather is changing. The leaves are falling. The nights are getting colder. And suddenly...everybody wants somebody. 👀 But here's the real question: Are you looking for LOVE—or are you just looking for COMPANY? As the seasons change, relationships can change too. Some people start craving companionship. Others suddenly want a relationship. Some reconnect with an old flame. And some realize they're perfectly okay standing alone. But is it really love you're looking for—or are you trying to escape loneliness? On this episode of Ladies Love Lounge, we're having the conversation about dating, cuffing season, loneliness, healing, standards, timing, and the seasons of life that shape our hearts. 🍂 Does the colder weather really change the way we date? ❤️ Are you dating intentionally—or dating because you don't want to be alone? 👀 Are you choosing someone because they're right for you—or because they're available? 💔 Can loneliness make us ignore red flags? 🌱 Does personal growth change the type of person we're attracted to? 🔥 Can a "seasonal" relationship become something permanent? 💍 Are you looking for someone to spend a season with—or someone who can walk through every season with you? And we're asking the question that may hit a little differently: If you weren't lonely, would you still choose the person you're dating? Because sometimes the biggest relationship decision isn't who you choose... It's understanding why you chose them. Maybe you're in your dating season. Maybe you're in your healing season. Maybe you're in your building season. Maybe you're in your "I'm good by myself" season. Every season has a purpose. So pull up a chair, bring your relationship story, and get ready for a conversation that might have you looking at your heart—and your dating life—very differently. 🍁 THE QUESTION OF THE NIGHT: Are you looking for someone to love... or someone to keep you from being alone? "Don't let a temporary season convince you to choose a permanent situation." 🔥 #ChangingSeasonsChangingHearts #LadiesLoveLounge #LoveOrCompany #DatingWithPurpose #CuffingSeason #RelationshipTalk #IntentionalDating #SinglesAndDating #LoveInEverySeason #HeartCheck #RealTalkRealLove #HealthyRelationships #DatingLife #TheConversationStartsHere #2Gone2LongJFR If you would like to advertise your business, become a sponsor, donate, or have your video played, please visit us at www.linktr.ee/2Gone2LongJFR If you would like to follow, support, or book your FREE consultation w/Lady V, you can find her at www.linktr.ee/LadyVenp If you would like to follow or support Lady 2Luve, you can reach her at www.linktr.ee/innl.u.v.e.2

    FROM THE PIT TO THE PALACE

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! What tried to bury you may become part of the testimony God uses to reveal His purpose! There are seasons when life takes you from the mountaintop to the valley, from being celebrated to being forgotten, and from having a dream to wondering whether that dream will ever come to pass. But one thing you must never forget: where you are right now does not determine where God can take you! Joseph knew what it meant to go from the pit to the palace. His own brothers betrayed him, stripped him of his coat, and threw him into a pit. He was sold into slavery, falsely accused, and forgotten in prison. Yet through every setback, God had not abandoned him. Genesis 50:20 (KJV) “But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.” Joseph's story reminds us that the pit was a chapter, not the conclusion. The betrayal did not cancel the promise. The prison did not destroy the purpose. And the waiting did not mean God had forgotten him. WHAT CAN YOU LEARN FROM THE PIT? The pit can develop your character. God can teach you humility, endurance, and dependence on Him. Betrayal does not have to make you bitter. You can heal without allowing what happened to define who you become. The waiting season is not wasted. Stay faithful even when nobody sees your efforts. Your circumstances cannot limit God's power. People may shut doors, but they cannot overrule God's authority. Your elevation comes with responsibility. The palace is not just about being blessed; it is about becoming a blessing to others. Joseph did not reach the palace by revenge, manipulation, or abandoning his faith. His journey required endurance, wisdom, and the ability to remain faithful through difficult circumstances. Maybe you've been in a pit of disappointment, rejection, financial hardship, grief, or spiritual struggle. Maybe people counted you out before God finished working in you. But don't give up in the middle of your story! Psalm 40:2 (KJV) declares, “He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.” Your pit may look different from Joseph's, but you can still trust God in your own journey. Your responsibility is to remain faithful, keep growing, and follow His direction—even when the next step is unclear. FROM THE PIT TO THE PALACE! I was betrayed, but I am not defeated. I was rejected, but I am not forgotten. I went through the pit, but the pit will not define me. My past will not imprison my future. I will trust God through the process! 🔥 THE PIT DIDN'T DESTROY YOU. THE PROCESS IS DEVELOPING YOU. AND YOUR STORY IS NOT OVER! Come expecting a powerful message of faith, perseverance, restoration, and divine purpose. Your lowest season does not have to be your final chapter. Keep trusting God, because He can bring purpose out of pain and use your journey to bless somebody else. 🙏🏽👑✨ If you would like to advertise your business, become a sponsor, donate, or have your video played, please visit us at www.linktr.ee/2Gone2LongJFR If you would like to listen in or become a part of The God Crew, you can join us every Tuesday and Thursday at 8 pm EST/7 pm CST and every Sunday at 9 am EST/8 am CST.

    ARE YOU PREPARED FOR YOUR BLESSINGS?

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Everybody wants to be blessed, but are you prepared for what comes with the blessing? We pray for open doors, financial breakthroughs, restored relationships, spiritual growth, greater opportunities, and the promises of God to manifest in our lives. But have we taken the time to prepare ourselves for what we've been asking God to do? Sometimes we're praying for the next level while refusing to make the necessary changes at the level we're on. We want the promotion without the preparation, the increase without the discipline, and the breakthrough without the growth. Deuteronomy 28:2 (KJV) says, “And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.” God's blessings are not just about what you receive. They are also about how you steward what He places in your hands. ARE YOU PREPARED TO: Remain humble when God elevates you? Be responsible with what He entrusts to you? Walk in obedience when the instructions are uncomfortable? Handle greater responsibilities without losing your character? Forgive those who hurt you before God opens new doors? Remain faithful when the blessing requires patience? Give God the glory instead of taking all the credit? Luke 16:10 (KJV) reminds us, “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much...” Sometimes the waiting season isn't wasted time. It is an opportunity to grow, develop discipline, strengthen your faith, and prepare your heart for what lies ahead. Don't become so focused on receiving the blessing that you neglect becoming the person who can handle it. Joseph had to endure the pit and the prison before entering the palace. David was anointed king before he wore the crown. Preparation came before promotion. Your season of preparation may not look like progress, but God can use it to develop the wisdom, patience, and character you will need for the next chapter. STOP ASKING ONLY FOR THE BLESSING—ASK GOD TO PREPARE YOU TO CARRY IT! Come expecting a powerful time of reflection, encouragement, and spiritual growth as we examine our hearts, strengthen our faith, and learn to prepare for what God has in store. ARE YOU PREPARED FOR YOUR BLESSINGS? Can you handle the increase without losing your integrity? Can you walk through the open door without forgetting who opened it? Can you receive the blessing and remain obedient to the Blesser? Your next blessing may require a new level of faith, discipline, obedience, and maturity. Don't just pray for God to change your circumstances—allow Him to prepare you for what's next! 🙏🏽🔥✨ Leading With Love - https://a.co/d/0dDZ3Osy If you would like to advertise your business, become a sponsor, donate, or have your video played, please visit us at www.linktr.ee/2Gone2LongJFR If you would like to follow, support, or book your FREE consultation w/Lady V, you can find her at www.linktr.ee/LadyVenp If you would like to listen in or become a part of The God Crew, you can join us every Tuesday and Thursday at 8 pm EST/7 pm CST and every Sunday at 9 am EST/8 am CST.

    Be Calm... and Trust in God

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Sometimes life gets loud. The bills are calling, the situation isn't changing, people are disappointing you, and the answer you've been praying for seems delayed. In those moments, God is reminding you: BE CALM. TRUST ME. “Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10 (KJV) Being calm doesn't mean you don't have problems. It means you have decided that your problems will not have more authority over you than God does. You may not understand what God is doing, but you can trust Who He is. When fear says, “What if it doesn't work out?” Faith says, “God is already working.” When anxiety says, “You're running out of time,” Faith says, “God's timing is perfect.” When circumstances say, “It's impossible,” Faith says, “Nothing is impossible with God.” STOP FIGHTING WHAT GOD HAS ALREADY TOLD YOU TO TRUST HIM WITH. Sometimes we pray for God to take control, then spend the rest of the day trying to take it back. We cannot experience God's peace while constantly trying to control the outcome. “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” — Isaiah 26:3 (KJV) God knows what you don't know. He sees what you cannot see. He is working where you cannot work. And He can make a way where you cannot see one. So breathe. Pray. Release it. Trust God. You don't have to have all the answers tonight. You just need to know the One who does. Come expecting God to quiet your spirit, strengthen your faith, and remind you that you are never walking through life's storms alone. BE CALM... AND TRUST IN GOD! The storm may be raging, but God is still God. The answer may be delayed, but God is still faithful. The door may be closed, but God is still working. Be still. Be calm. Keep believing. What you cannot handle, God can. What you cannot see, God already knows. And what you cannot fix, God can turn around! 🙏🏽🔥✨ If you would like to advertise your business, become a sponsor, donate, or have your video played, please visit us at www.linktr.ee/2Gone2LongJFR If you would like to listen in or become a part of The God Crew, you can join us every Tuesday and Thursday at 8 pm EST/7 pm CST and every Sunday at 9 am EST/8 am CST.

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! There are moments when a conversation is more than a conversation.

I AM STILL HERE. I AM STILL BECOMING. GOD IS NOT FINISHED WITH ME.

    ARE YOU GIVING FALSE REPRESENTATION?

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! We live in a time when people are quick to proclaim the name of Jesus, quote Scripture, preach the Word, and declare their faith—but behind closed doors, their lifestyles tell a completely different story. Are you truly representing Christ, or are you giving people a false impression of who God is? Matthew 7:21 (KJV) “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” God is not looking for perfect people, but He does call us to live in obedience, humility, repentance, and truth. We cannot claim to walk with God while deliberately entertaining the very things that separate us from Him. FALSE REPRESENTATION LOOKS LIKE: Preaching love while harboring hatred and unforgiveness. Speaking about holiness while secretly entertaining sin. Encouraging others to trust God while living in constant disobedience. Using Scripture to judge others while refusing to examine ourselves. Claiming to be anointed while allowing pride, manipulation, and selfishness to lead. Titus 1:16 (KJV) “They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him...” Our actions speak even when our mouths are silent. People are watching how we respond to adversity, how we treat those who cannot benefit us, and how we behave when nobody is applauding. This is not about condemning others. It is about allowing God to search our own hearts. Before we correct someone else's walk, we must be willing to examine our own. 2 Corinthians 13:5 (KJV) “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves...” God is calling us beyond religious appearances and into a genuine relationship with Him. Repentance is not weakness; it is the beginning of restoration. When we fall short, we must be willing to acknowledge it, turn away from sin, and allow God to transform us. ARE YOU REPRESENTING THE KINGDOM, OR MISREPRESENTING THE KING? Your title does not define your character. Your position does not excuse your behavior. Your words must align with your walk, and your life should reflect the Christ you profess to serve. Come prepared to hear the truth, confront uncomfortable realities, and allow God to make the necessary changes within you. 🔥 STOP PREACHING WHAT YOU REFUSE TO PRACTICE! Don't just talk about God—live in a way that honors Him. Let your representation reflect His character, His love, and His truth. 🙏🏽 If you would like to advertise your business, become a sponsor, donate, or have your video played, please visit us at www.linktr.ee/2Gone2LongJFR If you would like to listen in or become a part of The God Crew, you can join us every Tuesday and Thursday at 8 pm EST/7 pm CST and every Sunday at 9 am EST/8 am CST.

    No Other Gospel Than the Gospel of Jesus

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! In a world filled with opinions, false teachings, distractions, and messages that promise everything but lead people away from the truth, we must remember that there is only one Gospel that saves, one Savior who redeems, and one truth that leads to eternal life: the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Gospel is not about popularity, pleasing people, or changing the Word of God to fit our circumstances. It is about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ—the foundation of our faith and the hope of our salvation. Galatians 1:8 (KJV) “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” Paul's words remind us of the importance of protecting the truth of the Gospel. We cannot add to it, take away from it, or twist it to satisfy our own desires. The Gospel of Jesus is not a trend, a personal interpretation, or a message designed to gain approval. It is the good news of God's saving grace through Jesus Christ. THE GOSPEL OF JESUS IS THE TRUTH Jesus is the way. John 14:6 reminds us that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Our salvation is found in Him, not in the promises of this world. Jesus is the sacrifice. He gave His life for our sins, taking upon Himself what we could never carry on our own. Jesus is the resurrection. The grave could not hold Him. His resurrection gives believers hope, victory over sin, and the promise of eternal life. Jesus is the foundation. Our faith must be rooted in His Word, not in the shifting opinions, traditions, and teachings of humanity. DON'T COMPROMISE THE GOSPEL TO COMFORT THE WORLD There is a difference between speaking the truth in love and changing the truth to avoid confrontation. We are called to show compassion, extend grace, love our neighbors, and share the Gospel with humility—but we must never lose sight of the message Christ entrusted to us. 2 Timothy 4:3–4 (KJV) warns that a time will come when people will not endure sound doctrine, but will seek teachers who tell them what they want to hear. Are we standing on the Word, or are we allowing the world to rewrite what God has already established? Are we sharing the Gospel of Jesus, or are we promoting a message that makes us comfortable while leaving out the truth? Our responsibility is not to water down the Gospel. It is to live it, proclaim it, and demonstrate the love of Christ through our words and actions. STAND FIRM IN THE GOSPEL The Gospel of Jesus calls us to repentance, transformation, forgiveness, obedience, and a relationship with God. It challenges us to examine our hearts, turn away from sin, and walk in the grace that Christ freely offers. Romans 1:16 (KJV) “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.” Come prepared to hear the Word, examine your faith, and strengthen your relationship with Jesus. Let this be a time of spiritual reflection, bold conviction, and a deeper understanding of the truth that sets us free. NO OTHER GOSPEL THAN THE GOSPEL OF JESUS! No other Savior. No other sacrifice. No other way to the Father. The cross still matters. The blood still saves. The resurrection still gives hope. And the Word of God still stands! We will not trade truth for popularity, compromise conviction for convenience, or exchange the Gospel of Jesus for the approval of the world. The message is Jesus. The foundation is Jesus. The hope is Jesus. And the Gospel will always be about Jesus Christ! 🙏🏽🔥✝️

    The Anointing Makes the Difference

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! There are some battles you cannot win with talent alone. There are some doors you cannot open with connections alone. There are some assignments that require more than ability, education, experience, or opportunity. They require the anointing of God. The anointing is what makes the difference between trying to do something in your own strength and allowing God to empower you for what He has called you to do. “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” — Zechariah 4:6 (KJV) You can have talent—but the anointing gives your talent purpose. You can have a voice—but the anointing gives your voice impact. You can have knowledge—but the anointing gives you wisdom. You can have an opportunity—but the anointing gives you grace to walk through it. The anointing doesn't mean you won't face opposition. It means opposition does not have the final say. David had the anointing before he had the throne. Joseph had the promise before he entered the palace. Esther had the assignment before she understood the magnitude of her influence. God can take what looks ordinary and use it for something extraordinary. THE ANOINTING WILL: Give you strength when your own strength runs out. Give you boldness when fear says, “You can't.” Give you discernment when everything looks right but isn't. Give you grace to endure the process. Equip you for assignments bigger than your experience. Allow God to use your testimony to touch somebody else's life. Don't spend your life trying to prove that you're capable. Stay connected to the One who called you. Because when God anoints you, you don't have to manufacture what only His Spirit can produce. “But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.” — 1 John 2:20 (KJV) Come expecting the presence of God to refresh you, empower you, and remind you that the assignment is not about how strong you are—it is about how surrendered you are. THE ANOINTING MAKES THE DIFFERENCE! Talent can open a door, but the anointing gives you grace to walk through it. Experience can teach you, but the anointing equips you. People may recognize your gift, but God knows your calling. Don't just ask God for the opportunity. Ask Him for the anointing to carry the assignment! 🔥🙏🏽✨ If you would like to advertise your business, become a sponsor, donate, or have your video played, please visit us at www.linktr.ee/2Gone2LongJFR If you would like to listen in or become a part of The God Crew, you can join us every Tuesday and Thursday at 8 pm EST/7 pm CST and every Sunday at 9 am EST/8 am CST.

    Storytime w/Lady V: FORGIVENESS AIN’T FOR THEM… IT’S FOR ME

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Let’s be REAL… how long are you going to keep hurting because of what somebody else did to you? Sometimes the hardest person to forgive isn’t the one who betrayed you, lied on you, abandoned you, broke your heart, violated your trust, or caused you pain. Sometimes… it’s YOU. You’re angry. You’re disappointed. You’re still replaying the conversation. Still waiting for an apology. Still wishing they understood what they did. Still carrying a wound from something that happened years ago. But what if forgiveness isn’t about them at all? What if forgiveness is about finally deciding: “YOU DON’T GET TO CONTROL MY PEACE ANYMORE.” On this episode of Storytime w/ Lady V, we’re going ALL THE WAY IN on forgiveness—the kind nobody talks about. 💔 Forgiving someone who never apologized 💔 Forgiving without forgetting 💔 Forgiving but still having boundaries 💔 When forgiveness DOESN’T mean reconciliation 💔 Releasing resentment without excusing the damage 💔 Forgiving the person who hurt you the most 💔 And the hardest one… forgiving yourself Because sometimes we keep drinking the poison, hoping the person who hurt us gets sick. BABY… IT’S TIME TO PUT THE CUP DOWN. This isn’t about pretending it didn’t happen. This isn’t about saying what they did was okay. This isn’t about giving toxic people another opportunity to hurt you. This is about YOU getting your life back. 🔥 THE QUESTION IS: Are you holding onto the pain because you want justice… or because you’re afraid of who you’ll become when you finally let it go? Come with your story. Come with your truth. Come ready to talk. Because FORGIVENESS AIN’T FOR THEM… IT’S FOR ME. I’m not forgiving you because you deserve it. I’m forgiving you because I deserve PEACE. 🔥 Monday, September 28 — Storytime w/ Lady V Real Talk. Real People. Real Life.

    Releasing Worries... Starting Fresh With a Grateful Heart

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Sometimes you cannot step into a new season while still carrying the weight of the old one. We carry worries about tomorrow, regrets about yesterday, disappointments from yesterday, and fears about what might happen next. But God never intended for us to live weighed down by what He has already asked us to surrender. The Word of God reminds us: “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7 (KJV) Cast it. Release it. Give it to God. Every worry doesn't need an answer from you. Every problem doesn't need to be solved today. Every disappointment doesn't need to follow you into your next season. Sometimes the fresh start you've been praying for begins with a simple decision: “Lord, I'm not carrying this anymore.” RELEASE THE WORRY. EMBRACE THE GRATITUDE. Gratitude doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means you can still recognize God's goodness in the middle of what isn't perfect. Be grateful for the doors God opened. Be grateful for the doors He closed. Be grateful for the lessons. Be grateful for the protection you didn't recognize at the time. Be grateful that you're still standing. Be grateful that God has not abandoned you. “This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” — Psalm 118:24 (KJV) A grateful heart changes your perspective. Instead of constantly asking, “Why me?”, you begin saying, “Thank You, Lord, for keeping me.” Instead of focusing on what you lost, you begin recognizing what remains. Instead of fearing what is ahead, you begin trusting the One who is already there. START FRESH. You don't have to carry yesterday into tomorrow. Release the worry. Release the resentment. Release the disappointment. Release the fear. Release the need to control everything. Then make room for peace, gratitude, faith, joy, and expectation. God is not asking you to have everything figured out. He's asking you to trust Him enough to put down what was never yours to carry. RELEASING WORRIES... STARTING FRESH WITH A GRATEFUL HEART! I'm releasing what I cannot control. I'm thanking God for what I cannot change. I'm trusting Him with what I cannot see. And I'm walking into this new season with a grateful heart! What I'm releasing no longer gets to control me. What God is preparing gets to define me. 🙏🏽🔥✨ If you would like to advertise your business, become a sponsor, donate, or have your video played, please visit us at www.linktr.ee/2Gone2LongJFR If you would like to listen in or become a part of The God Crew, you can join us every Tuesday and Thursday at 8 pm EST/7 pm CST and every Sunday at 9 am EST/8 am CST.
