Breakthrough! Waking up to the real you.
Join me every Monday, Friday, and Sunday. I talk about books that have caught my eye; this is a great conversation starter for anyone who is looking to dig deep within their own minds in hopes to unravel any trauma or pain that is lingering from the past. I paired this up with my favorite series Sunday’s Word and Midweek Devotional where I talk about the Old and New Testament; the best way to heal is to pair it up with the Word of God. And, if you are in a rush, every Friday there is a short episode called Food for Thought that will help you think about life in a different way.

"Are there risks? Of course. It's not unreasonable to be worried about them. But there is no chance of success if you do nothing, if you don't even try. No one can guarantee safe passage in life, nothing precludes the possibility of failing or dying. But if you don't go? Well, you ensure failure and suffer a different kind of death. Later, you're going to wish you did something. We always do. Which means, right now, you gotta go." ...
1 JOHN 1
Light and Darkness, Sin and Forgiveness
5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 8 If we cl...

"Courage is Calling: Fortune Favors the Brave" by Ryan Holiday
"What we are to do in this life comes from somewhere beyond us; it's bigger than us. We are each called to be something. We are selected. We are chosen... but will we choose to accept this? Or will we run away? That is our call." Ryan Holiday

2 PETER 1
Prophecy of Scripture
12 So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. 13 I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, 14 because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. 15 And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able t...
"The path of least resistance is a terrible teacher. We can't afford to shy away from the things that intimidate us. We don't need to take our weaknesses for granted. Are you okay being alone? Are you strong enough to go a few more rounds if it comes to that? Are you comfortable with challenges? Does uncertainty bother you? How does pressure feel? Because these things will happen to you." The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday

1 PETER 4
Living for God
1 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. 2 As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. 3 For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detes...
"On the path to successful action, we will fail - possibly many times. And that's okay. It can be a good thing, even. Action and failure are two sides of the same coin. One doesn't come without the other. What breaks this critical connection down is when people stop acting - because they've taken failure the wrong way." The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday

1 PETER 2
1 Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. 2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, 3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
"To argue, to complain, or worse, to just give up, these are choices. Choices that more often than not, do nothing to get us across the finish line." The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday

JAMES 5
Warning to Rich Oppressors
1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days.
4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. ...
New Book of this Ryan Holiday book series: The Obstacle is the Way
"We decide what we will make of each and every situation. We decide whether we'll break or whether we'll resist. We decide whether we'll assent or reject. No one an force us to give up or to believe something that is untrue (such as, that a situation is absolutely hopeless or impossible to improve). Our perceptions are the thing that we're in complete control of." Th...
JAMES 1
Trials and Temptations
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when yo...
HEBREWS 4
Jesus the Great High Priest
14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may rece...
"Do your work. Do it well. Then 'let go and let God' and that's all there needs to be. Recognition and rewards - those are just extra. Rejection, that's on them, not on us." The Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday

HEBREWS 1
God’s Final Word: His Son
1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification ...

PHILEMON 1
Paul’s Plea for Onesimus
8 Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, 9 yet I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul—an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus— 10 that I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains.
11 Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me....
New book series! The Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday
"In this course, it is not 'Who do I want to be in life?' but 'What is it that I want to accomplish in life?' Setting aside selfish interest, it asks: What calling does it serve? What principles govern my choices? Do I want to be like everyone else or do I want to do something different?" The Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday

TITUS 1
Rebuking Those Who Fail to Do Good
10 For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group. 11 They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain. 12 One of Crete’s own prophets has said it: “Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”
13 This s...
