    You Don’t Have to Keep Lying to Survive

    Sometimes survival will teach you habits that helped you make it through one season… but start hurting you in the next one. In this episode of Elevation Talks, Naye has a real conversation about the things people learn to do when money is tight, opportunities feel limited, and survival becomes the priority: lying on applications, manipulating situations, creating shortcuts, and doing whatever it takes to get by. This isn’t about condemnation. It’s about asking a harder question: What if the thing that helped you survive is now keeping you from becoming who God is calling you to be? Through personal experience, faith, accountability, and a deeper look at what survival can turn into when we never challenge it, this episode is an invitation to stop operating from fear and start building a different way forward. 📖 If you’ve ever felt like your past, mistakes, or survival choices disqualified you from what God called you to do, check out Disqualified, Called Anyway: https://www.elevationtalks.com/products/disqualified-called-anyway

    I Don’t Know What I’m Supposed to Be Doing With My Life

    What do you do when you know there’s more for your life… but you have no idea what that “more” is supposed to look like? Maybe you’re doing everything you’re supposed to do. You’re working, handling your responsibilities, showing up, and still quietly wondering: Am I going in the right direction?Did I miss something?Am I behind?What am I actually supposed to be doing with my life? In this conversation, we’re unpacking the difference between being lost and simply being unclear, why clarity doesn’t always come as a full blueprint, and how to recognize the patterns that may already be pointing you toward your next step. We also talk about comparison, purpose, calling, the pressure to have everything figured out, and the difference between needing clarity and needing certainty. You don’t have to have your entire life figured out. Sometimes you just need enough clarity for the next honest step.

    When the Brook Dries Up

    What happens when the thing God provided… stops providing? The door closes. The opportunity dries up. The relationship ends. The income changes. And now you’re sitting there thinking, “God, I thought because You gave me this, it was supposed to last.” In this episode of Elevation Talks, we’re going to 1 Kings 17 and looking at Elijah’s experience at the brook Cherith—a place God Himself sent him, provided for him, and eventually allowed to dry up. Because maybe everything that ends isn’t evidence that you missed God. Maybe some things were God-provided without being God-permanent. We’re talking about the difference between something failing and something finishing, why you can’t confuse the channel with the Source, and what happens when God gives you direction instead of the explanation you’ve been waiting for. And maybe the biggest reminder of all: The brook dried up. God didn’t. If you’re in a season where what used to work isn’t working anymore, this conversation is for you.

    When Your Faith Is Tired: How to Trust God in the Waiting

    You still believe God. You still trust Him. You’re still praying, showing up, and trying to do what you know to do. But if you can be real… you’re tired. In this episode of Elevation Talks, we’re talking about what happens when waiting starts wearing on your faith, your confidence, and even what you thought you knew about God. We get into John the Baptist, David, Moses, honest doubt, unanswered questions, and why being tired does not mean you stopped believing. If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “God, did I hear You wrong?” “Am I doing enough?” or simply, “How much longer?” — this conversation is for you. Because maybe your faith isn’t failing. Maybe it’s tired.

    Settled vs. Settling: Are You Living What You Chose or What Was Available?

    Have you ever looked at your life and realized you’ve been accepting what was available instead of waiting for what you actually wanted? In this episode, we talk about the difference between settling and being settled, how impatience, comparison, fear, and convenience can quietly shape our decisions, and what that can cost us in relationships, work, faith, and everyday life. We also get into what it looks like to stop settling, trust God in the waiting, and finally enjoy the life you prayed for instead of constantly chasing the next thing.

    You Can’t Go Forward While Giving Your Past Access

    What if the reason you keep hitting the same roadblock isn't because God isn't moving, but because you keep giving your past access? In this episode, I'm getting real about one of the most transformative decisions I've made this year: choosing forward. That meant letting go of people, patterns, habits, distractions, and old versions of myself that couldn't go where God was taking me. Because sometimes the question isn't, “Why do they keep calling?” It's “Why do I keep answering?” Your next season may require a version of you that your current decisions aren't developing. Let's talk about it. 💎 GO DEEPER: If you're in a season where God is developing you for what's next, The Formation Gap™ can help you navigate it. 👉🏾 Get it from the Elevation Talks Vault: https://www.elevationtalks.com/products/theformationgap

    I Thought I’d Be Further By Now

    Birthdays are supposed to feel like a celebration… but what happens when yours starts feeling more like a progress report? I just turned 35, and if I’m honest, my life doesn’t look the way younger me thought it would. I thought I’d be a millionaire by 25. Married by now. Producing major television shows. Living a completely different version of success. Some of it hasn’t happened. And somehow, I’m more content than I’ve ever been. In this birthday episode, we’re having a real conversation about the quiet heaviness that can show up when another year passes and you haven’t accomplished everything you thought you would. We’re talking about invisible deadlines, disappointment, comparison, unanswered prayers, and the growth we often overlook because it doesn’t look like an accomplishment. Maybe you didn’t do everything you said you were going to do this year. Before you call yourself behind… COUNT AGAIN! Because some of the most important things happening in your life may not look like progress at all.

    The Detour Wasn't a Delay: How God Develops You Before the Destination

    Have you ever looked at your life and wondered, “God...how did I end up here?” The plans you made didn't happen.The timeline changed.The opportunity you prayed for hasn't arrived yet. But what if the detour isn't a delay? In this episode of Elevation Talks, Naye shares a powerful reminder that the seasons we often try to escape may be the very seasons God uses to prepare us for what we've been praying for. After speaking at Black Writers Weekend in Atlanta on the panel “Wrong Turn, Right Perspective: How to Turn Missteps Into Opportunities,” Naye reflects on a full-circle moment three years in the making. Three years ago, he sat in the audience at that exact same venue watching speakers on stage and thought, “I want to be up there.” Three years later, he was. But getting to that stage didn't happen on the timeline he expected. This conversation explores why God's detours aren't always signs that you've missed your way. Sometimes they're where God develops your character, deepens your faith, shifts your perspective, and prepares you for opportunities you aren't ready to carry yet. In this episode, we talk about: • Why God's detours are often seasons of development• How delays can reveal what God is working on within you• Why preparation often comes before promotion• How to shift your perspective when life doesn't go according to plan• How to recognize the season you're currently in If you're trying to understand where you are spiritually and what God may be developing in this season, check out the 8 Seasons Spiritual Guide: 👉  https://www.elevationtalks.com/products/the-8-seasons-guide If you've been feeling stuck, overlooked, delayed, or uncertain about your next step, this episode is for you. You are not behind. The detour isn't the denial. The detour may be the preparation. FIND YOUR SEASON
