Have you ever felt like you were under the pressure to be someone you're not? I totally relate.

Maybe you're feeling the tension of trying to fit in when you know you're made to stand out.

This video/blog is inspired by a very vivid vision I received last year in 2018, at a time where I sensed that I was being held back, criticized and even rejected. God was good to reposition me in a new place with leaders that have loved and mentored me as I am without trying to make me to be someone different.

Though we all have the same commissioning, we don't all have the same calling. I encourage you to pray and persist and purpose to align with leaders that will coach, train, champion, cheer and celebrate your calling and all God has created you to be. Kingdom-minded, Christlike leaders understand the honor and responsibility they have to partner with God to shepherd, mentor and train you to become all GOD created you to be. They will not try to pressure you into conforming to their comfort level. They will embrace your uniqueness and help you to emerge and flourish.

To the One Who Feels Called into the Ministry

Do you feel God is calling you into the ministry?

Which, by the way, is all of you who profess Jesus as your Savior and Lord! 🙌🏼 I have a simple message of encouragement as you are processing your big dreams, visions, and prophetic words about futuristic plans to be on that platform with a mic ministering to many.

Q+A Session @ Ignite Youth - 5/26/19

I had the honor of being invited by Pastor Isaiah Bosc as a guest speaker to Ignite Youth in Avondale, AZ on May 26, 2019.

Students submitted questions via social media that they would like to discuss for this Q+A session:

Why do people suffer from depression?
Is it scary being an adult?
What is marriage all about?
If there are thousands of other planets and galaxies, why would God choose us when we’re so little compared to everything else?
How can I deal with my friends leaving me behind and lying to me?
How do I avoid dry seasons in my life while still being committed to the things I’m committed to?
How can I encounter God personally?

Obscurity & Notoriety

The blessing and the burdens of being in obscurity (hidden, unknown) versus notoriety (being famous, well-known and popular). What can we learn from a Biblical perspective?
