A Thought to Reflect On:
As Jerry Flowers insightfully said, "God wants you to be an instrument, not an influencer." This episode challenges listeners to ask themselves: Are you striving for recognition, or are you ready to serve? The choice between being a star or a servant is pivotal to your growth and becoming.

Join us for this empowering episode and take the next step in your journey of transformation. It’s time to align with the divine and step boldly into the life you’re called to live.
