  1. Inherited Love: The Gifts Our Ancestors Handed Us

    3 DAYS AGO

    Inherited Love: The Gifts Our Ancestors Handed Us

    Before we ever understood love, we were already being carried by it. In this deeply reflective episode of Boldly Becoming, we explore inherited love—the kind of love passed down through survival, sacrifice, faith, and endurance. This conversation honors the ancestors whose prayers, labor, and resilience made our lives possible, even when love had to show up as protection instead of tenderness. We reflect on how love shaped by survival doesn’t always feel gentle, how discipline and silence were often tools of care in an unforgiving world, and how joy, creativity, faith, and community persisted as acts of defiance. This episode holds space for complexity—honoring intention while naming impact—and invites us to recognize both the strength and the wounds we inherited. Most importantly, we explore what it means to carry the gifts forward: choosing how love lives now, allowing strength to soften, faith to expand, and healing to become gratitude rather than rejection of the past. This episode is an invitation to remember, to reflect, and to steward what was handed to us with wisdom and intention—because we did not begin empty.We began carried. And now, we carry forward.

  2. The Weight of Being Loved Well: Learning to Receive What You Deserve

    The Weight of Being Loved Well: Learning to Receive What You Deserve

    Healing often focuses on surviving pain, setting boundaries, and protecting ourselves from what once hurt us. But what happens after the work—when love begins to show up consistently, safely, and without conditions? In this episode of Boldly Becoming, we explore why being loved well can feel unexpectedly heavy. From nervous systems shaped by inconsistency to unspoken beliefs that make receiving feel risky, this conversation names the tension between healing and rest. We unpack why safe love can trigger pressure instead of peace, how survival skills can block receiving, and what it means to unlearn protection in order to practice presence. This episode isn’t just about romantic love—it’s about friendships, family, community, and even how we receive God’s love. If you’ve ever struggled to accept care, minimized love that showed up steadily, or felt guarded when someone chose you without conditions, this conversation invites you to slow down, notice, and gently learn how to receive what you deserve. Because sometimes the bravest part of healing isn’t setting another boundary—it’s allowing yourself to rest in being loved.

  3. Lazarus and the Power of Presence

    26 JAN · BONUS

    Lazarus and the Power of Presence

    Some callings are loud.Others are holy because they are quiet. In this bonus reflection of Boldly Becoming, Kennyetta sits with a simple but unsettling question that arose during a moment of stillness with God: Why wasn’t Lazarus one of the Twelve? What unfolds is a gentle, soul-deep exploration of calling, belonging, and the overlooked power of presence. This episode reframes purpose beyond titles, visibility, or movement and invites listeners to consider that some of the most sacred assignments are rooted in proximity, safety, and being known—not being sent. Drawing from the story of Lazarus, Bethany, and the moment Jesus wept, this reflection reminds us that love does not always demand performance and calling does not always require a platform. This episode is for anyone who:• Feels unseen or questions their significance• Wonders if being “close” matters as much as being “called”• Has relationships rooted in presence, not romance• Serves quietly, faithfully, and without recognition• Needs permission to rest in where they are You’ll be invited to reflect on your own Bethany—the spaces and relationships where you are safe enough to be yourself—and to honor the truth that remaining can be just as obedient as going. Because being loved is not lesser than being sent.And presence is never passive. 🎧 Listen slowly. Sit with it. And remember: some of the holiest work we will ever do is simply to stay.

    When Stillness Speaks — The Power of Waiting Well

    There are seasons where nothing seems to be happening.No movement. No clarity. No confirmation. Just… quiet. In this episode of Boldly Becoming, Kennyetta invites you into the sacred, often uncomfortable space of stillness—the kind of waiting that doesn’t just cost time, but asks for release, restraint, and trust without proof. Through personal reflection, spiritual insight, and gentle truth, this episode explores what it means to wait well when obedience feels lonely, when love has been released, and when God’s voice feels quieter than expected. This is a conversation about choosing alignment over impulse, integrity over distraction, and devotion over escape. You’ll hear about:• The ache of letting go without anger or closure• Waiting as active work, not passive pause• Celibacy and restraint as devotion, not denial• Regression, grief, and recommitment in the waiting• Why stillness doesn’t confuse—it confirms This episode is for anyone who:• Is waiting on God without clear answers• Has released something meaningful in obedience• Feels the tension between longing and discipline• Needs reassurance that quiet seasons are not wasted Waiting well doesn’t rush the promise.It prepares the person who will receive it.

    Holy Boundaries — Protecting the Garden of Your Becoming

    Boundaries aren’t repeating because you’re stuck.They’re returning because you’re growing. In this episode of Boldly Becoming, Kennyetta reframes boundaries through a sacred lens—not as walls built out of fear, but as acts of reverence for what God is growing within you. This conversation isn’t about keeping people out; it’s about protecting the healing, clarity, discipline, and purpose God is cultivating in your life. Using the imagery of a garden and anchored in Proverbs 4:23, this episode explores why boundaries are holy, how growth requires protection, and why some of the most important boundaries you’ll ever set are with yourself. Kennyetta introduces the G.A.R.D.E.N. Method, a practical and reflective framework to help you honor your peace, your calling, and your becoming with intention. This episode is for anyone who:• Feels called into a new season and needs to protect it• Is learning to set boundaries without guilt or fear• Notices growth making others uncomfortable• Wants boundaries rooted in devotion, not defense You’ll be invited to reflect, journal, and gently ask: What is God planting in me that deserves protection right now? Because anything God is growing in youis worth the care, the fence, and the faith it takes to guard it. 🎧 Subscribe, share with someone who needs this reminder, and keep becoming—rooted, protected, and growing on purpose.

    The Discipline of Alignment — When Obedience Feels Uncomfortable

    Motivation fades. Habits remain.And alignment is revealed not by what we desire—but by what we discipline. In this episode of Boldly Becoming, Kennyetta explores the discipline of alignment and what it means to obey God when obedience is uncomfortable, inconvenient, and embodied. This is a conversation about stewardship—not just of faith, but of the body that carries your calling. From health and rest to hygiene, sex, aging, and movement, this episode challenges the belief that alignment is only spiritual. Drawing from Scripture, personal testimony, and hard-earned wisdom, Kennyetta reminds us that purpose has weight—and your body must be able to sustain what you’re praying for. This episode is for anyone who:• Is tired of relying on motivation instead of discipline• Feels spiritually hungry but physically depleted• Is navigating health, aging, or body image with faith• Wants alignment that reaches beyond belief into daily practice You’ll be invited to examine how obedience shows up in the body, why discipline begins where motivation ends, and how honoring your body is not vanity—but worship. Because your body is not a side character to your calling.It is the vessel God chose to dwell in. 🎧 Subscribe, share with someone who needs this reminder, and keep becoming—aligned, intentional, and embodied.

    Choose Life — The Daily Yes that Changes Everything

    Choosing life isn’t a one-time decision—it’s a daily practice. In this episode of Boldly Becoming, Kennyetta invites you into a powerful reflection on the quiet, everyday “yeses” that shape who we are becoming. Not the loud, public choices—but the small, unseen decisions around comfort, convenience, discipline, boundaries, and alignment with God. Through scripture, honest self-examination, and grounded truth, this episode explores how convenience slowly erodes purpose, why alignment always costs something, and how choosing life often looks like choosing discomfort before peace. You’ll be challenged to examine where you may be asking God to bless decisions He never told you to choose—and where He may be inviting you into deeper obedience, maturity, and stewardship. This episode is for anyone who:• Feels spiritually hungry but stuck in cycles• Is tired of numbing instead of healing• Wants peace but keeps choosing noise• Knows change is needed but has been avoiding the cost Anchored in Deuteronomy 30:19, Choose Life is a call to stop drifting, start tending your garden, and align your daily practices with the life you say you want. Before you go, pause and identify one yes you’re shifting this week—one decision that moves you closer to who God is calling you to be. Because every yes grows something.And alignment is revealed in daily practice. 🎧 Subscribe, share with someone who needs this reminder, and keep becoming—on purpose.
