Salathiel Deloach, known as Lent Warrior in VR, faced the challenge of living with lupus—a condition that affects not just the body, but the spirit. Despite the constant joint pain and fatigue, she channels her resilience into founding the Deloach Lupus Foundation, a pillar of support for others battling lupus. Her story is a testament to finding meaning and purpose in pain. Beyond the surface, Salathiel's narrative encourages us to look deeper, as everyone carries battles invisible to the eye.
In a heartfelt exploration, personal stories shed light on the impact of a lupus diagnosis, where dreams and aspirations can feel abruptly stolen. These personal accounts highlight the profound journey through identity loss, healthcare struggles, and ultimately, rediscovering faith. By embracing acceptance and empathy, our experiences become a spring of strength, inspiring support for others in their battles. Through such transformative journeys, the importance of not judging others by appearances becomes crystal clear, as unseen struggles often forge the strongest spirits.

Learn more about your story andwould you take about 30 seconds
just to introduce yourself andlet everybody know a little bit
about who Lent Warrior is?
LentWarrior (02:16):
Awesome, awesome.
So first and foremost, thankyou for inviting me to the show.
I heard you say you weren'tpositive about how to pronounce
my name, so first I want to makesure my name is Salathiel
Deloach, and that's actually theLent warrior is the meaning of
my name.
So my first name, salathiel,means Lent of God, and my last
(02:38):
name, deloach, means warrior.
Mike (02:40):
So that's where I get my name from, so just kind of a
translation there, which Ithought was really cool to bring
into the metaverse.
LentWarrior (02:48):
I'm born and raised in the city of Savannah,
Georgia.
I have one sister and onebrother.
I've been diagnosed with lupusfor 23 years.
I run a nonprofit organizationcalled the Deloach Lupus
Foundation here in SavannahGeorgia.
We assist lupus warriors withtheir different financial needs
(03:13):
that they may have, be it topurchase medication or to travel
for doctor's appointments orthings of that nature.
We host support group meetings.
I am a lover of all things inthe arts and what that means.
I love to sing.
I heard you talk about yourprogram that you all have
upcoming, and so I'm going tomake sure I come back so that I
(03:35):
can get on the list and sharesome of my talents.
I'm trying to step outside ofsome of my boxes that I created
for myself.
Brian Curee (03:45):
That's awesome.
We would love to have you comeand share your talent.
We would love that, lynn, soI'm gonna call you Lynn.
Is that cool if I just call youLynn?
That's perfectly fine.
LentWarrior (04:00):
Awesome, okay, so let's go ahead and start with.
Can you explain a little bitabout lupus?
So lupus is an autoimmunedisease, and it can impact or
affect any part of the body.
Honestly, for me, it startedwith my kidneys.
When I was diagnosed, I was.
(04:22):
I went into the emergency roomand thought that I was having
some menstrual cycle pains, andit turns out that my kidneys
were actually failing.
But lupus can affect any organin the body, and so I'll name a
few that have been impactedKidneys, lungs, my heart, my
deal with brain fog.
We experience on a daily basis.
Most of us, we experience jointpains.
That's one of the most commonthings that you'll hear a lupus
(04:45):
patient mention that they'redealing with.
But in addition to that, wedeal with things like fatigue.
So people often call us lazy,but we're not at all lazy people
.
We're actually some of thehardest working people to combat
that sickness.
But yeah, so those are some ofthe main things that people will
(05:05):
experience as it relates tolupus, and oftentimes lupus is
misdiagnosed because it is anautoimmune disease and so it it
looks like a lot of the otherautoimmune diseases.
Brian Curee (05:18):
So yeah, oh, okay, so did you find that.
Oh God, ms Klobe, okay, so didyou find that oh go ahead, mrs
Colby.
Shawna Curee (05:24):
Oh, I was just going to say did you, were you
experiencing symptoms for awhile before you ever found out
what it was?
Or did you were you?
LentWarrior (05:34):
yeah, go ahead.
Mike (05:37):
I played sports.
LentWarrior (05:38):
And so I played basketball, I cheered, I ran a
little bit of track, I played alittle bit of flag football.
So the joint pains that peopletalked about, I chalked them up
to sports pains.
So I believe that I might have,but because I lived such an
active life I didn't realize itand like I said I dealt with the
(06:03):
space of having a verydifficult menstrual cycle.
I would sometimes bleed formonths on end.
Mike (06:11):
And so when I began to, experience the pains within my
stomach.
LentWarrior (06:16):
I immediately thought that it was just the
pains that I was experiencingwith my menstrual cycle, but
when I woke up, my joints wereswollen, so my feet and my hands
were literally the size offootballs literally and I could
not walk.
I attempted to get up to go tothe restroom and I hit the
(06:36):
ground immediately and I wasstill experiencing the pains.
When I got to the emergencyroom, the doctor saw what we
call butterfly rash and it's arash that forms on your cheeks
and it looks literally like abutterfly.
Really, oh really, and so yourskin is discolored so you really
(07:00):
can see it.
It does not matter what yourrace is.
Lupus predominantly affects theAfrican, american and Hispanic
communities, but every race ofpeople can be diagnosed with
lupus Male, female, children.
It's unfortunate but all-givingdisease.
Brian Curee (07:21):
Wow, you said that a lot of people get misdiagnosed
.
Is that correct?
Is that what you're saying?
LentWarrior (07:27):
Yes, sometimes it could take patients up to six
years to be diagnosed with lupusand oftentimes, like I said,
oftentimes they're misdiagnosedwith something altogether
different before they arediagnosed with lupus, or they
can have that disease and havelupus.
I know quite a few people thathave been diagnosed with cancer
(07:49):
and also have been diagnosedwith lupus or sickle cell and
also have been diagnosed withlupus.
Brian Curee (07:54):
So yeah, wow, and I thought it was interesting you
said that.
You said a lot of people werelike that's all right, ms Kirby,
I'll let you.
I'll let you, I'll ask thisquestion and you can go for it.
You said a lot of people.
Actually, you go ahead and askyour question because I don't
want to take it off track.
Go ahead.
LentWarrior (08:18):
Okay, I was just going to say are there medicines
or lifestyle changes that canhelp you manage those symptoms?
Absolutely, one of thepredominant medications that we
take to stop what we call aflare.
A flare is literally having allof the symptoms, or a lot of
symptoms, dealing with lupus.
So when someone is having aflare, they're typically going
to put us on a steroid, and thatsteroid is called Plaquenil and
(08:42):
it's a very powerful steroidand we hate that steroid because
we all know that steroids makeyou gain weight.
I myself, I have worn almost400 pounds, just you know, being
diagnosed with lupus and beingon that steroid, whereas prior
to being diagnosed with lupus, Ionly wore 150 pounds, soaking
(09:02):
wet.
Shawna Curee (09:03):
Wow yeah.
Oh my goodness, like how longdo they make you take that when
you're dealing with the flare?
Is it an extended period oftime?
LentWarrior (09:12):
Yes, ma'am, it can.
When I was originally diagnosedwith lupus, I was on the
steroid for three years becausethat's how active the diagnosis
was when I was first diagnosedand we couldn't figure out a
medication to level things outfor me.
(09:34):
And so, as the doctor would tryto take me off of the prednisone
, I would go immediately rightback into a flare and instead of
me being in the flare, theywould just put me back on the
prednisone.
Yeah, so they do what they.
The prednisone is kind of likethe safe gatekeep, if you will.
(09:55):
So when someone is in thatflare, they will immediately put
them on that steroid and itjust kind of quiets the flare
down and it gives them anopportunity to try different
medications to see what willwork, because not all of the
medications.
You know there are severalmedications that we take.
(10:16):
There's only two medicationsthat are specifically for lupus,
but we take a variety ofdifferent medications that are
not specifically for lupus.
You might have heard of thehydrocodone during the pandemic.
Yeah, that's one of themedications that we, as lupus
patients, take, and during thepandemic because it was said to
(10:36):
be the cure, a lot of thepatients that we work with were
not able to get theirmedications because there was
such a low quantity of it forthat reason, and so that's one
of the medications that lupuswarriors heavily depend on, and
it's usually that medicationthat will assist you in getting
(10:58):
off of that prednisone.
Brian Curee (11:00):
I see, wow, how fascinating I see, wow, how
fascinating Lynn you were sayingabout how you know the
different things that, how itaffected you, like I guess let
me ask you this what has beenlike some of the biggest
challenges for you?
I know we're going to get tothe part like talking about how
this how your pain has reallybecome like, how you found
(11:22):
purpose in that pain has reallybecome like, how you found
purpose in that but what hasbeen like some of the biggest
challenges that you've had toface going through this and
adjustments that you've had tomake in your own lifestyle?
Because you said you wereathletic, so has it affected any
of these things as well.
LentWarrior (11:37):
So, first and foremost, the first thing that
it impacted for me I waspreparing to go off to college
as soon as I was diagnosed.
I just graduated from highschool, so I was preparing to go
off to college, and so itchanged the trajectory of the
plans that I had for myself.
That's first and foremost.
(11:59):
And then, after it stole iswhat I call it.
After it stole that dream ofgoing off to college from me, I
was released from the well whileI was in the hospital.
I lost my insurance because Ididn't get to go off to school.
So I lost my insurance while Iwas in the hospital, and because
(12:22):
I lost my insurance, I wasshortly after kicked out of the
hospital and so I was homedealing with this brand new
disease that no one in my familyhad heard about.
So I felt ostracized, I lost,if you will.
I felt like I lost my identitybecause I was athletic and here
I was now not really living thelife that I knew, and I began to
(12:50):
experience a lot of pain,because while you're in the
hospital, you're stuck to an IV,so you're getting the best
medication possible.
But once I went home, I wasn'treceiving that medication
anymore, and so I began toexperience all of the pains that
I was experiencing.
In the morning that I went intothe hospital and they continued
(13:12):
to give me just pain medications, and I eventually lost the
functionality of my body.
And with me losing thefunctionality of my body, I
found myself sitting on a couch,and while I sat on the couch,
you heard me mention that I worealmost 400 pounds.
I just sat on the couch and Iwatched TV and I ate, and I lost
a part of me while I wassitting on that couch, and so
(13:35):
those were just the beginning ofme being diagnosed with lupus.
Those were the hardest times ofthe journey for me, because I
had to release who I used to be,all of the things that I knew
(13:58):
about myself.
I had to release those thingsand find a new normal, but not
only find a new normal.
There was a period where Iwouldn't even look myself in the
mirror because I didn'trecognize.
Once I finally began to walk,the mirror was the last thing
that I wanted to see, because myface was fat, and when I looked
in the mirror I had this fatface, but my lips were like the
(14:19):
fish.
You know how the fish's lipspoop.
That's how my lips look.
I know you can only imaginehaving a fat face with really,
really tiny lips, and they werehot pink.
And in addition to them beinghot pink, I didn't like what I
saw, and so I had to come togrips with all of that, after
being robbed of what I knew.
Brian Curee (14:54):
And so I'm so grateful that you're willing to
talk about this because, likethis is a, you know, it's
probably hard in ways to lookback at that as well.
It's probably hard in ways tolook back at that as well, but
(15:14):
I'm going to ask you like has itI know for myself, mrs Killer,
being me like there's been somejust small health issues that
has changed some of the things Ilike to do in life and I never
really wrap my mind around howdifficult that is on somebody.
And but I would like you likeyour thoughts on this, on this,
like, because we can look atpeople in real life.
And you said earlier, sometimespeople just think they're lazy
I'm guessing that's becausethey're not, they're not really
understanding what's going on.
And uh, and I think that'sprobably happening more in in
(15:37):
real life than all of us evenacknowledge or recognize.
Like I mean, it's easy to lookat somebody and make a judgment
based off of a cover.
You know the cover of a book,you know stuff like that.
Like we look from the outsidebut we don't see the inside.
And being in that place, likedid that open your eyes to?
Like for me, like I've beenlearning to have more empathy
(15:59):
towards people, like what goingthrough that process, how has
that changed you?
Because you're also I know youtold me that you are a believer
and so how is going through thisprocess and I think I love the
way you said it like it stolethese things from you.
So, when things get stolen fromyou and you find your identities
(16:20):
in these things, there's a lotof people in this platform that
are searching for their identity, even in here, which we know is
dangerous.
Like that's dangerous.
This is not your identity.
This is yeah, this is a greattechnology that we can connect
with each other and grow fromeach other, learn from each
other.
So, with that, like how has?
How did this?
Did it affect your faith at allduring that time, and how has
(16:43):
that transitioned and has ithelped you see people
differently?
Well, I guess it has, since youhave a nonprofit now, so maybe
you can explain all that to me.
There's a lot I've justunpacked there, so all right
give it back to you, Lynn.
LentWarrior (16:55):
First and foremost, absolutely yes, it did shake my
faith.
I was really really angry.
Just being transparent becauseI had plans for myself yeah, and
I was being diagnosed withlupus helped me grow strong in
(17:17):
my faith Because, as I stated, Iwas really really angry because
I wasn't being allowed to dothe things that I wanted to do.
I considered myself a fairlygood person, you know.
I attempted to treat everybodyright.
I tried to do all of the thingsthat the Bible said we were
(17:37):
supposed to do and live the waythat we were supposed to live,
and still this thing happened tome, and I remember regularly
asking God why did you do thisto me?
Why did you take my life?
I liked my simple, simple lifeand you know, going through the
journey of this diagnosis, Ilearned that God trusts me with
(18:03):
this, because even to this day,I still deal with things in my
body, even right now.
As a matter of fact, not eventwo weeks ago, I found out
through x-rays that arthritis isattacking me in my hips and in
(18:24):
my back, and so it's a space ofstarting over on a healing
journey all over again.
But this time, instead ofasking God why, I tell him.
Thank you, because I nowrealize that he trusts me with
this journey and I also knowthat he made me some promises.
As I was diagnosed with lupus,he showed me some things that he
(18:48):
wanted to use me to do, wantedto use me to do, and though they
are not happening as rapidly asI would like to see them
happening, I trust his word, Itrust the promise that he made
to me and I know that he can'tlie, and so I trust the timing
and I know that, going througheach year, I know I grow.
(19:11):
I grow and I learn somethingnew and I learn something about
myself and I learn somethingabout people and I learn.
As you mentioned, my word isgrace.
I learned to give people gracebecause I was sick majority of
my life, so they don't know me.
So I've lived in Savannah allmy life, but the people that are
(19:34):
from Savannah never saw me, sothey don't know me from someone
that's from a completely foreigncommunity.
So they have to get to know meand they have to see me being
consistent and they have to seeme being exactly who I am, and
that's a daughter and a child ofChrist.
And I choose to just live mylife.
(19:58):
Live my life as open and astransparent as I possibly can.
I share my journey on socialmedia to encourage other people
because I know that there issomebody who is where I was and,
if I can use the things thatI've gone through to help them
realize that, despite what theyare going through, that there is
still life for them to live.
(20:19):
As long as you're still here onthis earth, there is life.
And I believe because I've hadtwo opportunities well, two
moments, situations, if you will, where I remember flatlining.
I remember when I wasoriginally diagnosed and my
(20:40):
kidneys failed.
I flatlined, but God gave meanother chance, he gave me a new
life.
And there was a time, not even12 years ago, where I flatlined,
and it was a lot longer than itwas the first time.
And I remember, you know, thespace of being with my
grandparents and them telling meno, it's not your time, there
(21:02):
is work for you to do andencouraging me to live the full
version of myself and not towater me down.
And there are days when I am inpain and I find myself
wondering and saying God, whatis this?
What is this and what do youwant to do with this?
It's not about me, what do youwant to do with this?
(21:23):
Who needs to see this?
Who needs to get something fromthis?
And so that's really my spacethat I live in and that I dwell
in in this season of my life.
I accept that God trusts me andI trust him.
I trust him to do everythingthat he said he was going to do.
(21:45):
I trust the plans that he hadfor me before I even walked this
earth.
He had plans for me and so Ijust I'm choosing to walk in
those plans and every time I gothrough a situation, my faith
gets stronger, because Iunderstand that he's allowing
the enemy to to attack my body,because he knows that I can
(22:07):
handle it, and he also is usingthat to build something greater
in me, to prepare me forsomething else, the next stage
of what it is that he wants todo with me, because the plans
that he has for me, that heallowed me to see, they're big
and I can't be in my broken orin my weak state to be in that
(22:34):
place to do the things that heneeds me to be to do, so I thank
him for the preparation time.
Brian Curee (22:41):
So I love that.
So beautiful.
It's the.
So I want to wrap my mindaround this, because you said
there's promises that he'sbrought and made aware to you
and stuff.
You're in a situation.
You're in this, this, thissituation where you're?
You know you're on the couch.
You're not happy with yourself,you don't want to look at the
mirror because everything, justhow it's changed your life so
(23:01):
much.
What was the moment like?
Like when you start realizingthe purpose, like what did it
take you to get to the pointwhere you were willing to hear,
hear this and receive that?
Because hearing it andreceiving it, I know that can
sometimes take a process initself right.
Absolutely so.
(23:21):
What's your thoughts on that?
LentWarrior (23:23):
if you don't mind sharing, I do not and I actually
, you know that's my turningpoint.
I remember it vividly.
I remember I just it was myfirst time going back into the
house of worship and there was asermon that was preached and
(23:54):
all the way up until that time Iwas asking God why.
But in that sermon I heard thewhy.
I gained a greaterunderstanding of why God was
allowing everything that heallowed me to go through and all
of the changes of my plans,everything that he allowed to
(24:16):
happen.
I heard that day, the purpose,and then, after that day, I'm a
dreamer.
After that day, that very samenight, I went home.
I went to, you know, sunday,sunday evening, I go home and at
the end of the evening I sleep.
And as I sleep he provides mewith this beautiful vision of
(24:41):
what he wanted to do with me.
And I've been holding on that.
I have attempted transparency,I've attempted to step out into
that plan and something wouldalways happen that would
(25:03):
frighten me and make me question.
Who would make me question whoI am?
Who would make me question whoI am and if I was capable and if
I was qualified.
And if, if God really chose me,if, if that vision that he
(25:27):
showed me that dream, that heshowed me if that was really
from him or if that wassomething, trying to trick me
into thinking that I wassomething.
It was too great for it to havebeen the enemy.
It was too great, it was toolife-changing to other people
for it to have been the enemy.
And I won't lie.
(25:48):
I occasionally find myself whenthings begin to happen and they
feel like they're really bigand I'm like whoa, wait a minute
, this is moving fast.
Brian Curee (26:00):
Or is this?
LentWarrior (26:00):
really happening.
You know, though, I find myself, even to this day, sometimes
still back in that space,because God has been blowing my
mind in ways and allowing thingsthat I haven't even dreamed of
to happen in my life, and it'sjust like, okay, I'm on the path
to that dream, I'm on the pathto that vision, I'm finally
(26:23):
correctly in alignment.
And because I have those moments, if you will, of self-doubt.
If you will, of self-doubt.
I have to talk to myself.
I have to talk to thatself-doubt and remind myself I
was chosen for this and,regardless of what thoughts come
(26:45):
up, I have to be strong enoughto speak to those thoughts and
to remind those thoughts thatI'm not doing the work that I'm
doing for myself.
I'm doing this because this isan assignment that God has laid
upon my life and it's mygreatest desire to make him
proud and to continue to trustme.
Brian Curee (27:07):
Yeah, that's beautiful and I love like, if we
think about you know, if we inthose moments, like I love that
you pointed out that you realizethis isn't something that
you're doing for yourself, likethis is the enemy, wouldn't be
wanting you to help others andit's it's to to, to realize that
that's the beautiful thing isthat God knows your heart Like
(27:29):
he knows your heart so deep downinside you know, you know what
you're, why you're, why you'redoing what you're doing.
And I mean there's been timesthat I've had to check myself
and say now wait a minute.
Okay, my, like my, my plans aregood.
But then I really check, startreally digging in deep and
spending that time and lookingdeep down and there's times I'm
(27:51):
like this isn't really of God,this is really of.
LentWarrior (27:53):
God, this is really of Brian.
Brian Curee (27:55):
This is a mystery killer bee that's wanting to do
this.
It's a good thing, but it's notreally the best thing, and the
best thing doesn't mean like thebest of what we see maybe in
culture and in our world, in ourdaily lives, but best in what
God's plans are.
And so I encourage you toalways remember that.
We know God knows your heart,and I think that's where it
(28:18):
really lies.
When it comes to those momentsof self-doubt, and at times and
Ms Kilby, you can correct mehere Sometimes I actually I
don't like self-doubt, but insome ways, self-doubt for me,
I've learned is good because itreminds me to talk to God.
It's not about me.
It's like okay, god, I'm down,right, I need to talk to you, I
(28:39):
need to like check my heart, andI love that.
When you, when you point outabout how you would come home
and then you would sleep likeyou'd come home, you said on
sunday, right, is that what yousaid?
Yes, you would come homesundays and then sleep.
Uh, one of the things that washard for me to wrap my mind
around was the importance ofeven that Mrs Killer Bean knows
I'll Reflection time.
(28:59):
I tried to do that on Fridays,and there was one time that I'll
never forget.
I went out and I had so muchstuff I had to do with the
business.
I'm praying and talking to Godand taking my notes, going
through my journal, trying tofigure out team members, just so
much stuff you're trying to do,and I I I sat up a hammock and
I sat down and I started writingthings out and I literally
(29:22):
something came to me in prayer,I talked to God about it and I
fell asleep.
I fell asleep in the hammock forlike over an hour and a half
and I woke up and I was like, ohmy gosh, what am I doing?
I'm supposed to be.
And I woke up and I was like,oh my gosh, what am I doing?
I'm supposed to be.
I got to get this done.
But then I realized no, what Ijust did was what I needed the
more than anything.
And it seems what is?
It is the right wordcounterintuitive to to rest like
(29:45):
that.
But it's so crucial.
Is that the right word, mrs?
Shawna Curee (29:49):
Yeah, it is, yeah, it's such a important part of
our life is to put that trust inthe Lord and let him, you know,
be our rest and take the restto know it's not all in our
hands.
You know, I love thinking aboutthat and I love hearing your
story about this, that you knowthere are times where you have
(30:11):
to say, okay, I might not knowwhat I'm doing, I might be a
mess right now, but God knowswhat he's doing.
He always works through peoplewho look like they're not the
best prepared and you can onlygo so far and he's going to do
his will through you anyway.
And I love that.
I love thinking about that and,you know, realizing like we
(30:33):
don't have to take the wholepressure on ourselves of making
things happen.
When he's promised to dosomething, he's going to do it
through you.
LentWarrior (30:40):
Yeah, and that was one of the harder things for me
to really realize was that hedoesn't always operate in the
most popular person.
Brian Curee (30:53):
No, no, that's true .
Most never right.
LentWarrior (30:56):
That was one of those things for me it's like
I'm not interested in thepopularity part of it.
You know I'm not interested indoing this work to be well known
Like if that happens, like I'mnot looking for the glory.
Like in every time that thosemoments happen, I will say to
God be the glory, you know,because I don't want to find
(31:19):
myself in a position or a spacewhere the community or people's
applause is what I begin to seekafter.
I'm seeking after the heart ofGod is what I begin to seek
after I'm seeking after theheart of God.
Mike (31:41):
I want the work that I do to be of benefit to his kingdom.
LentWarrior (31:48):
I want to use the work that I do as ministry to
bring people to Christ.
Let them find healing in Christ, whether that be for their
physical body or for theirspiritual body or their mental.
I want them to.
I want my light to shine sobrightly that they want to know
the God that I serve.
(32:10):
So I live a life.
I live.
I try to live a life that isjust pleasing to God, because if
people can put you up, thenpeople can bring you back down.
I don't want to be on a yo-yo.
People find it strange when Isay, like I'm not really that
(32:36):
person that wants to be a partof a clique, I'm not that person
that really cares whether I fitin or not, like I was created
not to fit in.
And I find joy in being thatpeculiar person that people are
like.
Who is she?
Brian Curee (32:56):
I love that.
If we could really wrap ourminds around I know we got a
question that I'm going to bringup, We'll bring up the mic here
in just a second that reallywhat you said right there.
If we could really wrap ourmind around what you just said,
that you weren't created to fitin.
You weren't created to be likethat.
We're all created uniquely.
(33:17):
And if we can wrap our mindaround that, like we don't have
to fit in, and I love.
Like one of the things that Ialways kind of started asking
myself is, like, even in here,like even in Horizons, like,
well, why am I showing up?
Like what we do here?
There's different worlds,different creators.
We all have our own uniquepurpose and what we're doing,
but we always have to checkourselves Like, why am I showing
(33:39):
up Whatever you're doing?
Why am I showing up?
Well, you know your purpose andI think it's beautiful that
you're able to see the purposeeven in your pain, and I think
that's one of the things that isa big challenge.
And I'm going to ask youanother question here for just a
second, because, as we're goinginto this holiday season, you
(34:01):
know a lot of us like we love it, we love eating the sugar
cookies.
You love drinking the hotchocolate, even in virtual
reality Like, and we obviously Ididn't realize the sugar
cookies was going to be such abig deal but it's probably
because it's like no sugar addedand zero calories.
LentWarrior (34:14):
No pounds.
Shawna Curee (34:15):
That's probably what it is.
Eat a thousand cookies and gainno weight.
Brian Curee (34:20):
Yeah, exactly.
But when we come together inthese places, we can really grow
together and help each other,and there's purpose behind that.
But there's people that's notonly going to the holiday season
joyful.
There's people that's goinginto it in pain.
Uh, there's people that's goinginto it with heartbreak, because
, I mean, people have lost lovedones during this season and I
(34:43):
want to, uh, I want to encourageus all to be an encouragement
to each other and others and besensitive, like you said,
learning how to show grace, uh,others, and be sensitive, like
you said, learning how to showgrace, uh, but and because
through that grace, that's whereI think we can start seeing the
purpose in our pain.
So I'm gonna bring up we havetwo questions.
I'm gonna bring up a couplepeople.
Let's bring up mike first.
If you can bring up the qa,mike deaner all right.
Mike (35:04):
Thanks for joining us, mike.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I enjoy thiskind of stuff awesome I guess
for me.
I just honestly wanted to sharea little bit about how good
God's been to me.
You know I heard you guystalking about God and, to be
honest, you know I come from a.
You know a lot of addiction.
(35:25):
My father was an alcoholic,grew up around a lot of drugs.
I was pretty broken a few.
You know about what.
11 years ago I lost everythingand.
I came to God with nothing.
I had like a backpack, a coupleof weights.
I moved out of my city.
I was on my own and you knowwhat?
(35:45):
It was the best thing I everdid.
I went to church and they, theygave me.
They helped me get a job, theyhelped me start a business years
later.
You know I've been.
I've been married now for 11years.
I've been in business now for13 years.
Yeah, thank you very much.
And you know what.
Every month, every week, youknow, every day, it seems like
(36:07):
God provided everything I neededand then some, you know and
I've come to a place in my faithwhere I've come to realize that
that my only prayer is thankyou God, and I love you God.
Shawna Curee (36:19):
I love that prayer right now.
Mike (36:21):
That prayer right there has pointed me in the right
direction in dark places so manytimes.
I just want to tell you guys,god's been so good oh thank you
so much.
Brian Curee (36:29):
I got five kids, but I just want to testify.
LentWarrior (36:30):
Awesome Thank you so much, mike, I got five kids,
but I just want to testify.
Brian Curee (36:35):
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for sharingthat.
That's so good.
I love how he said his prayerto God is thankfulness.
That's hard to come to whenyou're in pain, but, man, it
really does.
When you take that time, justlike in Philippians, remember to
look back and be thankful, itreally starts changing your
whole mindset.
We've got another guest thatwe're going to bring up Another
(36:56):
guest.
We've got another person,another audience member we're
going to bring up air mama.
Air mama, come on up yeah.
By like great update Well thankyou, my favorite holiday.
You got to make sure you do thequest and get inside the train
because there's another room inthere.
AirMama (37:14):
We're so grateful you're here yes, thank you for
inviting me.
Good soldier, thank you thankyou, good soldier sorry black
box for a second.
I'm very strong in my faith andcoming into this holiday season
, not only right beforeThanksgiving, you know I stay
(37:41):
strong to my friends, my family,but knowing that it's going to
be very difficult for me.
So, sorry guys, it's okay.
Brian Curee (37:57):
It's fine.
Take your time, you're fine.
AirMama (38:01):
It's been a couple years, but I lost my grandfather
two days before Thanksgiving.
So going into Thanksgiving it'sa little difficult for me, but
I firmly believe that God doesnot give his children no more
(38:24):
than we can handle.
And I firmly believe thatbecause I've been through so
much and to be bullied, to betold that I would never amount
to anything, I would never.
I was just shot down and I wasstarting to think like what?
(38:46):
What?
Love you too, baby.
I am a military wife, by theway, if nobody knows this, I am
a military wife.
My husband is in the other room.
Um, he is a great support, greatsupport.
Um.
He was in the air force.
Um so proud of him.
(39:09):
Um.
He is my life, my joy.
He's the reason why I wake upevery day.
Besides, you guys, and he knowsthat we love each other.
We're deeply in love with oneanother, so, and we never going
to get angry.
LentWarrior (39:26):
Never.
AirMama (39:27):
Yeah, just you know, I say this to everybody.
Yeah, just you know, I say thisto everybody just, even through
the toughest times, darkesttimes, there's always sunshine
in that cloud.
And you know again, you know, Ilost my grandfather two days
(39:48):
before Thanksgiving and then,not even a year later, I lost my
grandmother two days beforeChristmas.
So going into this holidayseason it's difficult, but I
(40:09):
just but, as I get through lifeand I do what I do in here and I
enjoy doing what I do, I'm aworld creator.
If nobody knows that, um, mrKiller B, you've been to some of
my worlds and, um, I have donesome updates, uh, to some of my
worlds actually, and, uh, summerparadise is one of them.
Brian Curee (40:30):
So if you guys check, it out you guys want to
check it out.
Definitely have to go check itout.
Well, thanks for letting usknow that, air Mama, and thank
you so much for coming up andsharing all this with us.
We really appreciate that.
I know, mrs Killer Bee, we lost.
LentWarrior (40:44):
Go ahead and let go , air Mama just as support to
you my grandparents are bothdeceased as well.
Support to you.
My grandparents are bothdeceased as well, and Christmas
was my grandmother's absolutefavorite holiday and so and I,
absolutely I was mygrandmother's favorite, and I
don't care what anybody else hadto say about that.
Brian Curee (41:06):
Me too.
I hope all my brothers arelistening.
LentWarrior (41:36):
But what I will say is, because I know that
Christmas was her favoriteholiday, I tried to do something
in honor of them on thosespecial holidays and I promise
you that it will help you turnaround the way that you see
those holidays coming.
I love that.
Amen, amen.
AirMama (41:46):
So good, I will say this I do bake their favorite
desserts.
Shawna Curee (41:50):
I do bake their favorite desserts.
Yeah, there you go.
Awesome, yes, I love that.
Brian Curee (41:55):
I love that.
I love that.
Thank you, air Mama, it'sbeautiful.
Thank you so much.
AirMama (42:03):
Grandpa loved pumpkin and Grandma loved country apple.
Nice, I love that.
Brian Curee (42:06):
I know that that's one thing that misses Claire B.
We lost her dad.
What was that?
Was that three years ago now?
Was it three or four?
Shawna Curee (42:13):
It was 2021.
So yeah, it was three years ago.
Three years ago.
Brian Curee (42:16):
We lost him on December 2nd, is that correct?
And that was a hard year for us.
And now every year we go backto home in Ohio.
We're in Florida, but we goback to Ohio at that time and we
have a celebration dinner,which her dad always loved to
have steaks and all the otherstuff that you really probably
shouldn't be eating a lot ofLike.
(42:37):
What are some of the things healways loved and like we always
have there?
Well, we don't always have allof his favorites.
Shawna Curee (42:44):
Yeah, he loved junk food, so he loved Oreos the
meal we try to have.
Like it's kind of funny becausewe always have steak green
beans from a can.
They have to be French cutbecause he didn't like the bean
part of a green bean, only justFrench cut Some sort of potato.
He was a meat and potatoes guy,then we'll have some sort of
(43:05):
dessert that he liked, but hewas very simple in his taste.
He loved Oreos.
Brian Curee (43:14):
He loved sugar cookies, strawberry pie, things
like that.
He didn't use salt or anythingon the steaks.
But we don't really followthose rules like we don't follow
that.
Shawna Curee (43:18):
Yeah, they didn't like seasoning yeah, so we don't
really go that far with it alot of his favorites we don't
have, like white castle sliders.
Brian Curee (43:27):
No, we're not having that I'll be all up for
that.
You know, I'm like hey, oh no,we're not, mrs I'd be all up for
that.
You know, I'm like hey, oh no,we're not.
Mrs Killer Bee is not up forthat.
But yes, we try to make thebest out of it, so we pray the
same for you, Air Mama.
Shawna Curee (43:42):
It does.
Brian Curee (43:43):
Exactly, it does, yes.
AirMama (43:47):
Well, thank you so much Go ahead.
Brian Curee (43:50):
I'm sorry.
Shawna Curee (43:51):
Mrs, I'm good, go right ahead.
Brian Curee (43:53):
I want to thank you so much for coming out too.
There's been.
I know we've been here for awhile and I want to encourage
you.
We're going to take a selfieafterwards.
We'll have everybody come up onthe stage.
This will be great Our firstChristmas selfie for the year
and you guys feel free to hangout.
Check out the quest board.
There's some things you can doto get access to the terrain
Very cool.
Check out the posters, which Iknow that's one of the things
(44:14):
you have to do in the quest.
You have to stand in front ofeach poster to get that point,
but you read the posters.
It's going to tell you some ofthe things that's going to be
happening at our big Christmasevent this year, december 13th,
and outside the poster tells youhow to get the text so you can
get an alert before the event.
It's always a big event.
About an hour and a half long.
Might be a little bit longerthis year, since we're combining
it, but yeah, go ahead, msKilby.
Shawna Curee (44:37):
You might have been going this direction, but
I'll just go ahead and ask, Lenis there a way people can
contact you if they want to, ifthey want to get involved with
your ministry or your nonprofit?
Is there a way that you like?
LentWarrior (44:51):
for people to contact you.
Well, I am on both Facebook andInstagram.
On Instagram I am Lint Warrior.
On Facebook I am SalathielDeloach.
The name of the nonprofit isthe Deloach Lupus Foundation
Savannah Georgia Incorporated,but if you go to any of my pages
, I usually share things fromthe foundation.
(45:12):
So if you go to my page, you'llstill be able to find the link
to get to the nonprofit.
Brian Curee (45:18):
Great.
And you have a podcast too,which is actually on the Killer
Bee Studio website.
So if you go to Killer BeeStudios dot com and I think it
has a link to contact you too soyou can click on the network
and you'll find her podcast inthere, so you can click and
(45:38):
contact her that way as well.
So that way, if they weretrying to figure out how do I
get there, just go tokillerbeaststudioscom, you'll
find her on the network.
Well, we always like to closeout and let our guests share a
closing thought.
So after she shares her closingthought, you guys are going to
hear the outro music.
We'll move this big desk, we'llget this out of the way so we
can all come up here and get apicture together.
Actually, you know what?
I think we should take apicture in front of the train.
What do you think about that?
LentWarrior (45:57):
I think that's a good idea.
Okay, cool, all right, let's dothat.
Brian Curee (46:00):
All right.
So with that, lynn, if there'sone thing that you would hope
that anybody that ourconversation tonight, what would
that be?
LentWarrior (46:15):
so I think the greatest takeaway would be is
for you to trust the process.
Um, both good and difficultthings happen to us all.
Those difficult things are tomake us stronger and to make us
(46:38):
wiser and better people.
And I would just say trust theprocess.
The process is there on purposeand it will lead you to your
purpose.
Brian Curee (46:51):
Beautiful, that's beautiful.
Shawna Curee (46:53):

just to introduce yourself andlet everybody know a little bit
about who Lent Warrior is?
LentWarrior (02:16):
Awesome, awesome.
So first and foremost, thankyou for inviting me to the show.
I heard you say you weren'tpositive about how to pronounce
my name, so first I want to makesure my name is Salathiel
Deloach, and that's actually theLent warrior is the meaning of
my name.
So my first name, salathiel,means Lent of God, and my last
(02:38):
name, deloach, means warrior.
Mike (02:40):
So that's where I get my name from, so just kind of a
translation there, which Ithought was really cool to bring
into the metaverse.
LentWarrior (02:48):
I'm born and raised in the city of Savannah,
Georgia.
I have one sister and onebrother.
I've been diagnosed with lupusfor 23 years.
I run a nonprofit organizationcalled the Deloach Lupus
Foundation here in SavannahGeorgia.
We assist lupus warriors withtheir different financial needs
(03:13):
that they may have, be it topurchase medication or to travel
for doctor's appointments orthings of that nature.
We host support group meetings.
I am a lover of all things inthe arts and what that means.
I love to sing.
I heard you talk about yourprogram that you all have
upcoming, and so I'm going tomake sure I come back so that I
(03:35):
can get on the list and sharesome of my talents.
I'm trying to step outside ofsome of my boxes that I created
for myself.
Brian Curee (03:45):
That's awesome.
We would love to have you comeand share your talent.
We would love that, lynn, soI'm gonna call you Lynn.
Is that cool if I just call youLynn?
That's perfectly fine.
LentWarrior (04:00):
Awesome, okay, so let's go ahead and start with.
Can you explain a little bitabout lupus?
So lupus is an autoimmunedisease, and it can impact or
affect any part of the body.
Honestly, for me, it startedwith my kidneys.
When I was diagnosed, I was.
(04:22):
I went into the emergency roomand thought that I was having
some menstrual cycle pains, andit turns out that my kidneys
were actually failing.
But lupus can affect any organin the body, and so I'll name a
few that have been impactedKidneys, lungs, my heart, my
deal with brain fog.
We experience on a daily basis.
Most of us, we experience jointpains.
That's one of the most commonthings that you'll hear a lupus
(04:45):
patient mention that they'redealing with.
But in addition to that, wedeal with things like fatigue.
So people often call us lazy,but we're not at all lazy people
.
We're actually some of thehardest working people to combat
that sickness.
But yeah, so those are some ofthe main things that people will
(05:05):
experience as it relates tolupus, and oftentimes lupus is
misdiagnosed because it is anautoimmune disease and so it it
looks like a lot of the otherautoimmune diseases.
Brian Curee (05:18):
So yeah, oh, okay, so did you find that.
Oh God, ms Klobe, okay, so didyou find that oh go ahead, mrs
Colby.
Shawna Curee (05:24):
Oh, I was just going to say did you, were you
experiencing symptoms for awhile before you ever found out
what it was?
Or did you were you?
LentWarrior (05:34):
yeah, go ahead.
Mike (05:37):
I played sports.
LentWarrior (05:38):
And so I played basketball, I cheered, I ran a
little bit of track, I played alittle bit of flag football.
So the joint pains that peopletalked about, I chalked them up
to sports pains.
So I believe that I might have,but because I lived such an
active life I didn't realize itand like I said I dealt with the
(06:03):
space of having a verydifficult menstrual cycle.
I would sometimes bleed formonths on end.
Mike (06:11):
And so when I began to, experience the pains within my
stomach.
LentWarrior (06:16):
I immediately thought that it was just the
pains that I was experiencingwith my menstrual cycle, but
when I woke up, my joints wereswollen, so my feet and my hands
were literally the size offootballs literally and I could
not walk.
I attempted to get up to go tothe restroom and I hit the
(06:36):
ground immediately and I wasstill experiencing the pains.
When I got to the emergencyroom, the doctor saw what we
call butterfly rash and it's arash that forms on your cheeks
and it looks literally like abutterfly.
Really, oh really, and so yourskin is discolored so you really
(07:00):
can see it.
It does not matter what yourrace is.
Lupus predominantly affects theAfrican, american and Hispanic
communities, but every race ofpeople can be diagnosed with
lupus Male, female, children.
It's unfortunate but all-givingdisease.
Brian Curee (07:21):
Wow, you said that a lot of people get misdiagnosed
.
Is that correct?
Is that what you're saying?
LentWarrior (07:27):
Yes, sometimes it could take patients up to six
years to be diagnosed with lupusand oftentimes, like I said,
oftentimes they're misdiagnosedwith something altogether
different before they arediagnosed with lupus, or they
can have that disease and havelupus.
I know quite a few people thathave been diagnosed with cancer
(07:49):
and also have been diagnosedwith lupus or sickle cell and
also have been diagnosed withlupus.
Brian Curee (07:54):
So yeah, wow, and I thought it was interesting you
said that.
You said a lot of people werelike that's all right, ms Kirby,
I'll let you.
I'll let you, I'll ask thisquestion and you can go for it.
You said a lot of people.
Actually, you go ahead and askyour question because I don't
want to take it off track.
Go ahead.
LentWarrior (08:18):
Okay, I was just going to say are there medicines
or lifestyle changes that canhelp you manage those symptoms?
Absolutely, one of thepredominant medications that we
take to stop what we call aflare.
A flare is literally having allof the symptoms, or a lot of
symptoms, dealing with lupus.
So when someone is having aflare, they're typically going
to put us on a steroid, and thatsteroid is called Plaquenil and
(08:42):
it's a very powerful steroidand we hate that steroid because
we all know that steroids makeyou gain weight.
I myself, I have worn almost400 pounds, just you know, being
diagnosed with lupus and beingon that steroid, whereas prior
to being diagnosed with lupus, Ionly wore 150 pounds, soaking
(09:02):
wet.
Shawna Curee (09:03):
Wow yeah.
Oh my goodness, like how longdo they make you take that when
you're dealing with the flare?
Is it an extended period oftime?
LentWarrior (09:12):
Yes, ma'am, it can.
When I was originally diagnosedwith lupus, I was on the
steroid for three years becausethat's how active the diagnosis
was when I was first diagnosedand we couldn't figure out a
medication to level things outfor me.
(09:34):
And so, as the doctor would tryto take me off of the prednisone
, I would go immediately rightback into a flare and instead of
me being in the flare, theywould just put me back on the
prednisone.
Yeah, so they do what they.
The prednisone is kind of likethe safe gatekeep, if you will.
(09:55):
So when someone is in thatflare, they will immediately put
them on that steroid and itjust kind of quiets the flare
down and it gives them anopportunity to try different
medications to see what willwork, because not all of the
medications.
You know there are severalmedications that we take.
(10:16):
There's only two medicationsthat are specifically for lupus,
but we take a variety ofdifferent medications that are
not specifically for lupus.
You might have heard of thehydrocodone during the pandemic.
Yeah, that's one of themedications that we, as lupus
patients, take, and during thepandemic because it was said to
(10:36):
be the cure, a lot of thepatients that we work with were
not able to get theirmedications because there was
such a low quantity of it forthat reason, and so that's one
of the medications that lupuswarriors heavily depend on, and
it's usually that medicationthat will assist you in getting
(10:58):
off of that prednisone.
Brian Curee (11:00):
I see, wow, how fascinating I see, wow, how
fascinating Lynn you were sayingabout how you know the
different things that, how itaffected you, like I guess let
me ask you this what has beenlike some of the biggest
challenges for you?
I know we're going to get tothe part like talking about how
this how your pain has reallybecome like, how you found
(11:22):
purpose in that pain has reallybecome like, how you found
purpose in that but what hasbeen like some of the biggest
challenges that you've had toface going through this and
adjustments that you've had tomake in your own lifestyle?
Because you said you wereathletic, so has it affected any
of these things as well.
LentWarrior (11:37):
So, first and foremost, the first thing that
it impacted for me I waspreparing to go off to college
as soon as I was diagnosed.
I just graduated from highschool, so I was preparing to go
off to college, and so itchanged the trajectory of the
plans that I had for myself.
That's first and foremost.
(11:59):
And then, after it stole iswhat I call it.
After it stole that dream ofgoing off to college from me, I
was released from the well whileI was in the hospital.
I lost my insurance because Ididn't get to go off to school.
So I lost my insurance while Iwas in the hospital, and because
(12:22):
I lost my insurance, I wasshortly after kicked out of the
hospital and so I was homedealing with this brand new
disease that no one in my familyhad heard about.
So I felt ostracized, I lost,if you will.
I felt like I lost my identitybecause I was athletic and here
I was now not really living thelife that I knew, and I began to
(12:50):
experience a lot of pain,because while you're in the
hospital, you're stuck to an IV,so you're getting the best
medication possible.
But once I went home, I wasn'treceiving that medication
anymore, and so I began toexperience all of the pains that
I was experiencing.
In the morning that I went intothe hospital and they continued
(13:12):
to give me just pain medications, and I eventually lost the
functionality of my body.
And with me losing thefunctionality of my body, I
found myself sitting on a couch,and while I sat on the couch,
you heard me mention that I worealmost 400 pounds.
I just sat on the couch and Iwatched TV and I ate, and I lost
a part of me while I wassitting on that couch, and so
(13:35):
those were just the beginning ofme being diagnosed with lupus.
Those were the hardest times ofthe journey for me, because I
had to release who I used to be,all of the things that I knew
(13:58):
about myself.
I had to release those thingsand find a new normal, but not
only find a new normal.
There was a period where Iwouldn't even look myself in the
mirror because I didn'trecognize.
Once I finally began to walk,the mirror was the last thing
that I wanted to see, because myface was fat, and when I looked
in the mirror I had this fatface, but my lips were like the
(14:19):
fish.
You know how the fish's lipspoop.
That's how my lips look.
I know you can only imaginehaving a fat face with really,
really tiny lips, and they werehot pink.
And in addition to them beinghot pink, I didn't like what I
saw, and so I had to come togrips with all of that, after
being robbed of what I knew.
Brian Curee (14:54):
And so I'm so grateful that you're willing to
talk about this because, likethis is a, you know, it's
probably hard in ways to lookback at that as well.
It's probably hard in ways tolook back at that as well, but
(15:14):
I'm going to ask you like has itI know for myself, mrs Killer,
being me like there's been somejust small health issues that
has changed some of the things Ilike to do in life and I never
really wrap my mind around howdifficult that is on somebody.
And but I would like you likeyour thoughts on this, on this,
like, because we can look atpeople in real life.
And you said earlier, sometimespeople just think they're lazy
I'm guessing that's becausethey're not, they're not really
understanding what's going on.
And uh, and I think that'sprobably happening more in in
(15:37):
real life than all of us evenacknowledge or recognize.
Like I mean, it's easy to lookat somebody and make a judgment
based off of a cover.
You know the cover of a book,you know stuff like that.
Like we look from the outsidebut we don't see the inside.
And being in that place, likedid that open your eyes to?
Like for me, like I've beenlearning to have more empathy
(15:59):
towards people, like what goingthrough that process, how has
that changed you?
Because you're also I know youtold me that you are a believer
and so how is going through thisprocess and I think I love the
way you said it like it stolethese things from you.
So, when things get stolen fromyou and you find your identities
(16:20):
in these things, there's a lotof people in this platform that
are searching for their identity, even in here, which we know is
dangerous.
Like that's dangerous.
This is not your identity.
This is yeah, this is a greattechnology that we can connect
with each other and grow fromeach other, learn from each
other.
So, with that, like how has?
How did this?
Did it affect your faith at allduring that time, and how has
(16:43):
that transitioned and has ithelped you see people
differently?
Well, I guess it has, since youhave a nonprofit now, so maybe
you can explain all that to me.
There's a lot I've justunpacked there, so all right
give it back to you, Lynn.
LentWarrior (16:55):
First and foremost, absolutely yes, it did shake my
faith.
I was really really angry.
Just being transparent becauseI had plans for myself yeah, and
I was being diagnosed withlupus helped me grow strong in
(17:17):
my faith Because, as I stated, Iwas really really angry because
I wasn't being allowed to dothe things that I wanted to do.
I considered myself a fairlygood person, you know.
I attempted to treat everybodyright.
I tried to do all of the thingsthat the Bible said we were
(17:37):
supposed to do and live the waythat we were supposed to live,
and still this thing happened tome, and I remember regularly
asking God why did you do thisto me?
Why did you take my life?
I liked my simple, simple lifeand you know, going through the
journey of this diagnosis, Ilearned that God trusts me with
(18:03):
this, because even to this day,I still deal with things in my
body, even right now.
As a matter of fact, not eventwo weeks ago, I found out
through x-rays that arthritis isattacking me in my hips and in
(18:24):
my back, and so it's a space ofstarting over on a healing
journey all over again.
But this time, instead ofasking God why, I tell him.
Thank you, because I nowrealize that he trusts me with
this journey and I also knowthat he made me some promises.
As I was diagnosed with lupus,he showed me some things that he
(18:48):
wanted to use me to do, wantedto use me to do, and though they
are not happening as rapidly asI would like to see them
happening, I trust his word, Itrust the promise that he made
to me and I know that he can'tlie, and so I trust the timing
and I know that, going througheach year, I know I grow.
(19:11):
I grow and I learn somethingnew and I learn something about
myself and I learn somethingabout people and I learn.
As you mentioned, my word isgrace.
I learned to give people gracebecause I was sick majority of
my life, so they don't know me.
So I've lived in Savannah allmy life, but the people that are
(19:34):
from Savannah never saw me, sothey don't know me from someone
that's from a completely foreigncommunity.
So they have to get to know meand they have to see me being
consistent and they have to seeme being exactly who I am, and
that's a daughter and a child ofChrist.
And I choose to just live mylife.
(19:58):
Live my life as open and astransparent as I possibly can.
I share my journey on socialmedia to encourage other people
because I know that there issomebody who is where I was and,
if I can use the things thatI've gone through to help them
realize that, despite what theyare going through, that there is
still life for them to live.
(20:19):
As long as you're still here onthis earth, there is life.
And I believe because I've hadtwo opportunities well, two
moments, situations, if you will, where I remember flatlining.
I remember when I wasoriginally diagnosed and my
(20:40):
kidneys failed.
I flatlined, but God gave meanother chance, he gave me a new
life.
And there was a time, not even12 years ago, where I flatlined,
and it was a lot longer than itwas the first time.
And I remember, you know, thespace of being with my
grandparents and them telling meno, it's not your time, there
(21:02):
is work for you to do andencouraging me to live the full
version of myself and not towater me down.
And there are days when I am inpain and I find myself
wondering and saying God, whatis this?
What is this and what do youwant to do with this?
It's not about me, what do youwant to do with this?
(21:23):
Who needs to see this?
Who needs to get something fromthis?
And so that's really my spacethat I live in and that I dwell
in in this season of my life.
I accept that God trusts me andI trust him.
I trust him to do everythingthat he said he was going to do.
(21:45):
I trust the plans that he hadfor me before I even walked this
earth.
He had plans for me and so Ijust I'm choosing to walk in
those plans and every time I gothrough a situation, my faith
gets stronger, because Iunderstand that he's allowing
the enemy to to attack my body,because he knows that I can
(22:07):
handle it, and he also is usingthat to build something greater
in me, to prepare me forsomething else, the next stage
of what it is that he wants todo with me, because the plans
that he has for me, that heallowed me to see, they're big
and I can't be in my broken orin my weak state to be in that
(22:34):
place to do the things that heneeds me to be to do, so I thank
him for the preparation time.
Brian Curee (22:41):
So I love that.
So beautiful.
It's the.
So I want to wrap my mindaround this, because you said
there's promises that he'sbrought and made aware to you
and stuff.
You're in a situation.
You're in this, this, thissituation where you're?
You know you're on the couch.
You're not happy with yourself,you don't want to look at the
mirror because everything, justhow it's changed your life so
(23:01):
much.
What was the moment like?
Like when you start realizingthe purpose, like what did it
take you to get to the pointwhere you were willing to hear,
hear this and receive that?
Because hearing it andreceiving it, I know that can
sometimes take a process initself right.
Absolutely so.
(23:21):
What's your thoughts on that?
LentWarrior (23:23):
if you don't mind sharing, I do not and I actually
, you know that's my turningpoint.
I remember it vividly.
I remember I just it was myfirst time going back into the
house of worship and there was asermon that was preached and
(23:54):
all the way up until that time Iwas asking God why.
But in that sermon I heard thewhy.
I gained a greaterunderstanding of why God was
allowing everything that heallowed me to go through and all
of the changes of my plans,everything that he allowed to
(24:16):
happen.
I heard that day, the purpose,and then, after that day, I'm a
dreamer.
After that day, that very samenight, I went home.
I went to, you know, sunday,sunday evening, I go home and at
the end of the evening I sleep.
And as I sleep he provides mewith this beautiful vision of
(24:41):
what he wanted to do with me.
And I've been holding on that.
I have attempted transparency,I've attempted to step out into
that plan and something wouldalways happen that would
(25:03):
frighten me and make me question.
Who would make me question whoI am?
Who would make me question whoI am and if I was capable and if
I was qualified.
And if, if God really chose me,if, if that vision that he
(25:27):
showed me that dream, that heshowed me if that was really
from him or if that wassomething, trying to trick me
into thinking that I wassomething.
It was too great for it to havebeen the enemy.
It was too great, it was toolife-changing to other people
for it to have been the enemy.
And I won't lie.
(25:48):
I occasionally find myself whenthings begin to happen and they
feel like they're really bigand I'm like whoa, wait a minute
, this is moving fast.
Brian Curee (26:00):
Or is this?
LentWarrior (26:00):
really happening.
You know, though, I find myself, even to this day, sometimes
still back in that space,because God has been blowing my
mind in ways and allowing thingsthat I haven't even dreamed of
to happen in my life, and it'sjust like, okay, I'm on the path
to that dream, I'm on the pathto that vision, I'm finally
(26:23):
correctly in alignment.
And because I have those moments, if you will, of self-doubt.
If you will, of self-doubt.
I have to talk to myself.
I have to talk to thatself-doubt and remind myself I
was chosen for this and,regardless of what thoughts come
(26:45):
up, I have to be strong enoughto speak to those thoughts and
to remind those thoughts thatI'm not doing the work that I'm
doing for myself.
I'm doing this because this isan assignment that God has laid
upon my life and it's mygreatest desire to make him
proud and to continue to trustme.
Brian Curee (27:07):
Yeah, that's beautiful and I love like, if we
think about you know, if we inthose moments, like I love that
you pointed out that you realizethis isn't something that
you're doing for yourself, likethis is the enemy, wouldn't be
wanting you to help others andit's it's to to, to realize that
that's the beautiful thing isthat God knows your heart Like
(27:29):
he knows your heart so deep downinside you know, you know what
you're, why you're, why you'redoing what you're doing.
And I mean there's been timesthat I've had to check myself
and say now wait a minute.
Okay, my, like my, my plans aregood.
But then I really check, startreally digging in deep and
spending that time and lookingdeep down and there's times I'm
(27:51):
like this isn't really of God,this is really of.
LentWarrior (27:53):
God, this is really of Brian.
Brian Curee (27:55):
This is a mystery killer bee that's wanting to do
this.
It's a good thing, but it's notreally the best thing, and the
best thing doesn't mean like thebest of what we see maybe in
culture and in our world, in ourdaily lives, but best in what
God's plans are.
And so I encourage you toalways remember that.
We know God knows your heart,and I think that's where it
(28:18):
really lies.
When it comes to those momentsof self-doubt, and at times and
Ms Kilby, you can correct mehere Sometimes I actually I
don't like self-doubt, but insome ways, self-doubt for me,
I've learned is good because itreminds me to talk to God.
It's not about me.
It's like okay, god, I'm down,right, I need to talk to you, I
(28:39):
need to like check my heart, andI love that.
When you, when you point outabout how you would come home
and then you would sleep likeyou'd come home, you said on
sunday, right, is that what yousaid?
Yes, you would come homesundays and then sleep.
Uh, one of the things that washard for me to wrap my mind
around was the importance ofeven that Mrs Killer Bean knows
I'll Reflection time.
(28:59):
I tried to do that on Fridays,and there was one time that I'll
never forget.
I went out and I had so muchstuff I had to do with the
business.
I'm praying and talking to Godand taking my notes, going
through my journal, trying tofigure out team members, just so
much stuff you're trying to do,and I I I sat up a hammock and
I sat down and I started writingthings out and I literally
(29:22):
something came to me in prayer,I talked to God about it and I
fell asleep.
I fell asleep in the hammock forlike over an hour and a half
and I woke up and I was like, ohmy gosh, what am I doing?
I'm supposed to be.
And I woke up and I was like,oh my gosh, what am I doing?
I'm supposed to be.
I got to get this done.
But then I realized no, what Ijust did was what I needed the
more than anything.
And it seems what is?
It is the right wordcounterintuitive to to rest like
(29:45):
that.
But it's so crucial.
Is that the right word, mrs?
Shawna Curee (29:49):
Yeah, it is, yeah, it's such a important part of
our life is to put that trust inthe Lord and let him, you know,
be our rest and take the restto know it's not all in our
hands.
You know, I love thinking aboutthat and I love hearing your
story about this, that you knowthere are times where you have
(30:11):
to say, okay, I might not knowwhat I'm doing, I might be a
mess right now, but God knowswhat he's doing.
He always works through peoplewho look like they're not the
best prepared and you can onlygo so far and he's going to do
his will through you anyway.
And I love that.
I love thinking about that and,you know, realizing like we
(30:33):
don't have to take the wholepressure on ourselves of making
things happen.
When he's promised to dosomething, he's going to do it
through you.
LentWarrior (30:40):
Yeah, and that was one of the harder things for me
to really realize was that hedoesn't always operate in the
most popular person.
Brian Curee (30:53):
No, no, that's true .
Most never right.
LentWarrior (30:56):
That was one of those things for me it's like
I'm not interested in thepopularity part of it.
You know I'm not interested indoing this work to be well known
Like if that happens, like I'mnot looking for the glory.
Like in every time that thosemoments happen, I will say to
God be the glory, you know,because I don't want to find
(31:19):
myself in a position or a spacewhere the community or people's
applause is what I begin to seekafter.
I'm seeking after the heart ofGod is what I begin to seek
after I'm seeking after theheart of God.
Mike (31:41):
I want the work that I do to be of benefit to his kingdom.
LentWarrior (31:48):
I want to use the work that I do as ministry to
bring people to Christ.
Let them find healing in Christ, whether that be for their
physical body or for theirspiritual body or their mental.
I want them to.
I want my light to shine sobrightly that they want to know
the God that I serve.
(32:10):
So I live a life.
I live.
I try to live a life that isjust pleasing to God, because if
people can put you up, thenpeople can bring you back down.
I don't want to be on a yo-yo.
People find it strange when Isay, like I'm not really that
(32:36):
person that wants to be a partof a clique, I'm not that person
that really cares whether I fitin or not, like I was created
not to fit in.
And I find joy in being thatpeculiar person that people are
like.
Who is she?
Brian Curee (32:56):
I love that.
If we could really wrap ourminds around I know we got a
question that I'm going to bringup, We'll bring up the mic here
in just a second that reallywhat you said right there.
If we could really wrap ourmind around what you just said,
that you weren't created to fitin.
You weren't created to be likethat.
We're all created uniquely.
(33:17):
And if we can wrap our mindaround that, like we don't have
to fit in, and I love.
Like one of the things that Ialways kind of started asking
myself is, like, even in here,like even in Horizons, like,
well, why am I showing up?
Like what we do here?
There's different worlds,different creators.
We all have our own uniquepurpose and what we're doing,
but we always have to checkourselves Like, why am I showing
(33:39):
up Whatever you're doing?
Why am I showing up?
Well, you know your purpose andI think it's beautiful that
you're able to see the purposeeven in your pain, and I think
that's one of the things that isa big challenge.
And I'm going to ask youanother question here for just a
second, because, as we're goinginto this holiday season, you
(34:01):
know a lot of us like we love it, we love eating the sugar
cookies.
You love drinking the hotchocolate, even in virtual
reality Like, and we obviously Ididn't realize the sugar
cookies was going to be such abig deal but it's probably
because it's like no sugar addedand zero calories.
LentWarrior (34:14):
No pounds.
Shawna Curee (34:15):
That's probably what it is.
Eat a thousand cookies and gainno weight.
Brian Curee (34:20):
Yeah, exactly.
But when we come together inthese places, we can really grow
together and help each other,and there's purpose behind that.
But there's people that's notonly going to the holiday season
joyful.
There's people that's goinginto it in pain.
Uh, there's people that's goinginto it with heartbreak, because
, I mean, people have lost lovedones during this season and I
(34:43):
want to, uh, I want to encourageus all to be an encouragement
to each other and others and besensitive, like you said,
learning how to show grace, uh,others, and be sensitive, like
you said, learning how to showgrace, uh, but and because
through that grace, that's whereI think we can start seeing the
purpose in our pain.
So I'm gonna bring up we havetwo questions.
I'm gonna bring up a couplepeople.
Let's bring up mike first.
If you can bring up the qa,mike deaner all right.
Mike (35:04):
Thanks for joining us, mike.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I enjoy thiskind of stuff awesome I guess
for me.
I just honestly wanted to sharea little bit about how good
God's been to me.
You know I heard you guystalking about God and, to be
honest, you know I come from a.
You know a lot of addiction.
(35:25):
My father was an alcoholic,grew up around a lot of drugs.
I was pretty broken a few.
You know about what.
11 years ago I lost everythingand.
I came to God with nothing.
I had like a backpack, a coupleof weights.
I moved out of my city.
I was on my own and you knowwhat?
(35:45):
It was the best thing I everdid.
I went to church and they, theygave me.
They helped me get a job, theyhelped me start a business years
later.
You know I've been.
I've been married now for 11years.
I've been in business now for13 years.
Yeah, thank you very much.
And you know what.
Every month, every week, youknow, every day, it seems like
(36:07):
God provided everything I neededand then some, you know and
I've come to a place in my faithwhere I've come to realize that
that my only prayer is thankyou God, and I love you God.
Shawna Curee (36:19):
I love that prayer right now.
Mike (36:21):
That prayer right there has pointed me in the right
direction in dark places so manytimes.
I just want to tell you guys,god's been so good oh thank you
so much.
Brian Curee (36:29):
I got five kids, but I just want to testify.
LentWarrior (36:30):
Awesome Thank you so much, mike, I got five kids,
but I just want to testify.
Brian Curee (36:35):
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for sharingthat.
That's so good.
I love how he said his prayerto God is thankfulness.
That's hard to come to whenyou're in pain, but, man, it
really does.
When you take that time, justlike in Philippians, remember to
look back and be thankful, itreally starts changing your
whole mindset.
We've got another guest thatwe're going to bring up Another
(36:56):
guest.
We've got another person,another audience member we're
going to bring up air mama.
Air mama, come on up yeah.
By like great update Well thankyou, my favorite holiday.
You got to make sure you do thequest and get inside the train
because there's another room inthere.
AirMama (37:14):
We're so grateful you're here yes, thank you for
inviting me.
Good soldier, thank you thankyou, good soldier sorry black
box for a second.
I'm very strong in my faith andcoming into this holiday season
, not only right beforeThanksgiving, you know I stay
(37:41):
strong to my friends, my family,but knowing that it's going to
be very difficult for me.
So, sorry guys, it's okay.
Brian Curee (37:57):
It's fine.
Take your time, you're fine.
AirMama (38:01):
It's been a couple years, but I lost my grandfather
two days before Thanksgiving.
So going into Thanksgiving it'sa little difficult for me, but
I firmly believe that God doesnot give his children no more
(38:24):
than we can handle.
And I firmly believe thatbecause I've been through so
much and to be bullied, to betold that I would never amount
to anything, I would never.
I was just shot down and I wasstarting to think like what?
(38:46):
What?
Love you too, baby.
I am a military wife, by theway, if nobody knows this, I am
a military wife.
My husband is in the other room.
Um, he is a great support, greatsupport.
Um.
He was in the air force.
Um so proud of him.
(39:09):
Um.
He is my life, my joy.
He's the reason why I wake upevery day.
Besides, you guys, and he knowsthat we love each other.
We're deeply in love with oneanother, so, and we never going
to get angry.
LentWarrior (39:26):
Never.
AirMama (39:27):
Yeah, just you know, I say this to everybody.

We lost her dad.
What was that?
Was that three years ago now?
Was it three or four?
Shawna Curee (42:13):
It was 2021.
So yeah, it was three years ago.
Three years ago.
Brian Curee (42:16):
We lost him on December 2nd, is that correct?
And that was a hard year for us.
And now every year we go backto home in Ohio.
We're in Florida, but we goback to Ohio at that time and we
have a celebration dinner,which her dad always loved to
have steaks and all the otherstuff that you really probably
shouldn't be eating a lot ofLike.
(42:37):
What are some of the things healways loved and like we always
have there?
Well, we don't always have allof his favorites.
Shawna Curee (42:44):
Yeah, he loved junk food, so he loved Oreos the
meal we try to have.
Like it's kind of funny becausewe always have steak green
beans from a can.
They have to be French cutbecause he didn't like the bean
part of a green bean, only justFrench cut Some sort of potato.
He was a meat and potatoes guy,then we'll have some sort of
(43:05):
dessert that he liked, but hewas very simple in his taste.
He loved Oreos.
Brian Curee (43:14):
He loved sugar cookies, strawberry pie, things
like that.
He didn't use salt or anythingon the steaks.
But we don't really followthose rules like we don't follow
that.
Shawna Curee (43:18):
Yeah, they didn't like seasoning yeah, so we don't
really go that far with it alot of his favorites we don't
have, like white castle sliders.
Brian Curee (43:27):
No, we're not having that I'll be all up for
that.
You know, I'm like hey, oh no,we're not, mrs I'd be all up for
that.
You know, I'm like hey, oh no,we're not.
Mrs Killer Bee is not up forthat.
But yes, we try to make thebest out of it, so we pray the
same for you, Air Mama.

you have to do in the quest.
You have to stand in front ofeach poster to get that point,
but you read the posters.
It's going to tell you some ofthe things that's going to be
happening at our big Christmasevent this year, december 13th,
and outside the poster tells youhow to get the text so you can
get an alert before the event.
It's always a big event.
About an hour and a half long.
Might be a little bit longerthis year, since we're combining
it, but yeah, go ahead, msKilby.
Shawna Curee (44:37):
You might have been going this direction, but
I'll just go ahead and ask, Lenis there a way people can
contact you if they want to, ifthey want to get involved with
your ministry or your nonprofit?
Is there a way that you like?
LentWarrior (44:51):
for people to contact you.
Well, I am on both Facebook andInstagram.
On Instagram I am Lint Warrior.
On Facebook I am SalathielDeloach.
The name of the nonprofit isthe Deloach Lupus Foundation
Savannah Georgia Incorporated,but if you go to any of my pages
, I usually share things fromthe foundation.
(45:12):
So if you go to my page, you'llstill be able to find the link
to get to the nonprofit.
Brian Curee (45:18):
Great.
And you have a podcast too,which is actually on the Killer
Bee Studio website.
So if you go to Killer BeeStudios dot com and I think it
has a link to contact you too soyou can click on the network
and you'll find her podcast inthere, so you can click and
(45:38):
contact her that way as well.
So that way, if they weretrying to figure out how do I
get there, just go tokillerbeaststudioscom, you'll
find her on the network.
Well, we always like to closeout and let our guests share a
closing thought.
So after she shares her closingthought, you guys are going to
hear the outro music.
We'll move this big desk, we'llget this out of the way so we
can all come up here and get apicture together.
Actually, you know what?
I think we should take apicture in front of the train.
What do you think about that?
LentWarrior (45:57):
I think that's a good idea.
Okay, cool, all right, let's dothat.
Brian Curee (46:00):
All right.
So with that, lynn, if there'sone thing that you would hope
that anybody that ourconversation tonight, what would
that be?
LentWarrior (46:15):
so I think the greatest takeaway would be is
for you to trust the process.
Um, both good and difficultthings happen to us all.
Those difficult things are tomake us stronger and to make us
(46:38):
wiser and better people.
And I would just say trust theprocess.
The process is there on purposeand it will lead you to your
purpose.
Brian Curee (46:51):
Beautiful, that's beautiful.
