    What Has Your Attention? | Guarding Your Mind in a Distracted World

    What Has Your Attention? | Guarding Your Mind in a Distracted World | The Keep It Real Network What’s going on everybody, I’m your host Herb Hill, and welcome back to The Keep It Real Network — where we speak truth with no fluff, no compromise, and no sugar-coating. ⚠️ Let’s Be Honest… Something has your attention. Something is feeding your eyes and ears, shaping your thoughts, and influencing what you consider normal. So the deeper question is: What are they doing with it? Everybody the world puts in front of you does not deserve access to your mind. 📖 This Episode Breaks It Down This episode is about attention, distraction, and the battle for your mind. We can spend hours consuming entertainment, social media, sports, music, drama, and endless scrolling — while asking Jesus to renew the same mind we fill with the world. At some point, we have to stop examining everybody else’s platform and examine our own appetite. 👉 What am I feeding myself?
👉 Why do I keep watching it?
👉 Is it strengthening my spirit?
👉 Or is it keeping me distracted? 🔍 What We’re Talking About: The battle for your mind and attention How distraction can make Jesus secondary Examining the fruit of what you watch Why success is not proof of righteousnessBeing entertained by things we wouldn’t personally doCreating boundaries around what enters your mindRenewing your mind and turning back toward Jesus📖 Key Scriptures (KJV)Romans 12:2
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…”1 Corinthians 10:23
“All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient…” Colossians 3:2
“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” 1 Peter 5:8
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” Philippians 4:8
“Whatsoever things are true… honest… just… pure… lovely… of good report… think on these things.” 🚨 The Truth Most People Avoid Distraction doesn’t always look evil. Sometimes it’s funny, entertaining, trending, or not even sinful. But the question isn’t always: “Is this technically a sin?” Sometimes the better question is: 👉 “Is this edifying me?” Is it strengthening me? Is it feeding righteousness? Is it bringing my mind closer to Jesus? Or is it simply occupying me? 💭 Something to Think About… Some of us would never personally do the things we spend hours watching others do. We wouldn’t commit adultery — but watch it for entertainment. We don’t get drunk — but laugh at others getting drunk. We don’t use drugs — but listen to people glorify them. So eventually we have to ask: Why am I being entertained by something I’m asking Jesus to deliver me from? 🔥 Real Talk At some point, I have to stop asking: “Why are they making this?” …and start asking: “Why do I keep wanting to watch it?” They may be producing it. But I’m consuming it. I’m clicking, watching, listening, and giving it another hour of my life. Then I’m asking Jesus to renew my mind. That requires honest self-examination. 🎯 The Bottom Line Guard your mind. Examine what you consume. Create boundaries around what you allow into your life. Stop feeding yourself things you’re asking Jesus to deliver you from. Give Jesus your attention — your heart, obedience, time, and life. Be sober. Be vigilant. Renew your mind. Set your affection on things above. Turn away from distractions and turn back to Jesus. 🎙️ The Keep It Real Network Keep your spirit strong, your mind clear, and your heart humble.

    Jesus Christ Is My Influencer | One Soul Matters More Than a Million Views

    🔥 We live in a world obsessed with influence — followers, views, money, fame, celebrities, streamers, athletes, and viral moments. But the real question is: 👀 Who is influencing YOU? In this episode of The Keep It Real Network, I talk about why Jesus Christ is my influencer ✝️ and why I’m learning to stop measuring purpose by popularity. 📱 People can spend hours watching their favorite personalities. They know what they wear, who they're dating, what they bought, what they said, and every piece of their drama. But ask them what Jesus said… Silence. ⚠️ That's influence. And influence isn't limited to celebrities. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parents influence children.🤝 Friends influence friends.🏠 Husbands and wives influence their households.📚 Teachers influence students.📲 And anyone with a platform can influence another person. So ask yourself: Where is your influence pointing people — toward yourself, toward the world, or toward Jesus? ✝️ I also talk about something I've had to learn personally with this podcast: 📊 I can't measure Kingdom work by internet numbers. Social media measures views, likes, followers, and engagement. 🙏 Jesus looks at obedience and fruit. 📖 1 Corinthians 3:6-7 KJV “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.” 🌱 My responsibility is to plant the seed. I can't force anybody to believe.I can't force anybody to repent.I can't force anybody to seek Jesus. If one person listens — preach. 🎙️ If 30 listen — preach. If 30,000 listen — preach. If 3 million listen — preach. 🔥 The message shouldn't change when the audience changes. This isn't about becoming famous. This isn't about everybody knowing my name. ✝️ It's about people knowing His name — JESUS CHRIST. 📖 John 3:30 KJV “He must increase, but I must decrease.” 🌱 One view matters.🌱 One seed matters.❤️ One soul matters. Keep your spirit strong 💪🏾Your mind clear 🧠And your heart humble ❤️ Till next time — stay rooted, stay ready, and always keep it real. 🎙️🔥 #KeepItRealNetwork #HerbHill #DisciplePodcast #JesusChrist #JesusIsMyInfluencer #OneSoulMatters #FollowJesus #BiblicalTruth #FaithOverFame #Discipleship

    You Say You Have God… But Does Your Life Reflect It?

    You Say You Have God… But Does Your Life Reflect It? | The Keep It Real Network What’s going on everybody, I’m your host Herb Hill, and welcome back to The Keep It Real Network — where we speak truth with no fluff, no compromise, and no sugar coating. In this episode, we’re talking about a serious question many people avoid: Can you claim Jesus while living completely against Him? A lot of people say: “God is working in my life” “I’m chosen” “I’m blessed” “I’m covered” …but does their life reflect righteousness, obedience, humility, and truth? This episode breaks down the difference between claiming faith and living faith. Why words alone mean nothing without fruit The danger of self-deception Why many people say “God” but don’t know Jesus The difference between religion and truth Why the world praises image over obedience What Jesus said about those who say “Lord, Lord” Why real discipleship costs comfort, pride, and flesh Matthew 7:16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Matthew 7:21-23Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven... John 14:6I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. James 1:22Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 2 Timothy 3:5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof... This message isn’t about condemning anybody. It’s about discernment. Because in the end, it won’t be about what people claimed… It will be about whether Jesus knew them. 👍 Like the video💬 Comment your thoughts📌 Subscribe for more truth-centered content🔔 Turn on notifications Speaking truth with no fluff, no compromise, and no sugar coating.

    Speaking Truth in a World That Hates It

    Speaking Truth in a World That Hates It | The Keep It Real Network What’s going on everybody, I’m your host Herb Hill, and welcome back to The Keep It Real Network — where we speak truth with no fluff, no compromise, and no sugar-coating. In this episode, we’re breaking down what’s really happening in the situation surrounding Jaden Ivey — but let’s be clear: 👉 This is bigger than one man. This is about what happens when someone stands on the truth of the Word of God in a world that’s comfortable in sin and darkness. A man speaks based on his faith.He doesn’t threaten anyone.He doesn’t hate anyone. He simply says: 👉 “I don’t agree.” And what happens? BacklashLabelsPressureAttempts to silence himThat should tell you something. John 7:7 (KJV)“The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.” John 15:18-19 (KJV)“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you…” 2 Timothy 3:12 (KJV)“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” Why people react emotionally to truthThe spiritual reality behind public backlashThe Antichrist spirit operating in the worldWhy truth gets attacked instead of discussedHow believers should respond when persecutedIf everybody agrees with you…If everybody supports you…If the world fully accepts you… 👉 You might not be standing in truth. Because truth doesn’t blend in.Truth stands out — and it gets attacked. 📖 Ephesians 6:12 (KJV)“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities… against spiritual wickedness in high places.” This isn’t just people reacting.This is spiritual. The world doesn’t hate religion…👉 It hates accountability👉 It hates correction👉 It hates Jesus 📖 John 3:19 (KJV)“Men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” Are you going to: 👉 Stand on truth?👉 Or stay silent to be accepted? Because silence is how lies take over. Keep your spirit strong, your mind clear, and your heart humble.Till next time — stay rooted, stay ready… and keep it real. #KeepItRealNetwork#HerbHill#DisciplePodcast#TruthOverFeelings#BiblicalTruth#JesusChrist#StandOnTruth#FaithOverFear#NoCompromise#Truth

    🎙️ Religion vs Truth: Are You Being Moved by Jesus… or Performance?

    🎙️ Religion vs Truth: Are You Being Moved by Jesus… or Performance? What’s going on, everybody? I’m your host Herb Hill, and welcome back to The Keep It Real Network—where we speak truth with no fluff, no compromise, and no sugar coating. In this episode, we’re exposing something that a lot of people feel… but don’t say: Is what you’re experiencing in church actually the Holy Spirit… or just performance? Because if you really sit back and pay attention—not emotionally, but spiritually—you’ll start to notice something… There’s a pattern.A cadence.A delivery. And the real question is: ➡️ Are people being moved by truth… or by emotion? The difference between spiritual truth vs emotional manipulationWhy many preachers sound powerful—but aren’t leading people to JesusHow performance can mimic spiritualityWhy speaking well does NOT equal speaking truthThe danger of false prophets operating in plain sightWhy religion can keep people comfortable but unchangedHow deception can look like light, but lead to darknessWhy many churches focus on prosperity instead of truthThe reality of persecution when you truly follow JesusMatthew 7:15–20“Beware of false prophets… ye shall know them by their fruits.” Acts 7:48“Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands…” 1 Corinthians 3:16–17“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God…” 2 Corinthians 11:13–15“For Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light…” John 15:18–20“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.” 2 Timothy 3:12–13“All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution…” 1 Peter 4:12–14“Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial…” Just because something: Sounds powerfulFeels emotionalMoves a crowdDoes NOT mean it’s from God. Because truth transforms…while performance only entertains the flesh. God does NOT dwell in buildings… YOU are the templeJesus did NOT perform… He spoke with authoritySatan does NOT show up obvious… he comes as lightAnd many people today are being: MisledManipulatedEmotionally moved…but spiritually unchangedIf you feel like: You don’t fit inYou see things others don’tYou’re being persecutedLife feels heavier since choosing truthYou’re not crazy.

    🎙️ Why Do They Fight So Hard Against Jesus? | The Spirit Behind Denial

    🎙️ Why Do They Fight So Hard Against Jesus? | The Spirit Behind Denial What’s going on, everybody? I’m your host Herb Hill, and welcome back to The Keep It Real Network, where we speak truth with no fluff, no compromise, and no sugar coating. In this episode, I’m talking about something a lot of people see but don’t always understand: Why do atheists, scholars, blasphemers, false teachers, and antichrist-spirited people go so hard trying to disprove Jesus Christ? If they really believed He wasn’t real…why the obsession?Why the mockery?Why the constant resistance?Why the nonstop effort to tear down His name? Because this isn’t just intellectual.This is spiritual. Why denial of Jesus is more than just “another opinion”The spirit of antichrist operating in the world todayHow pride, intellect, platforms, and education can be used to twist truthWhy many people reject Jesus not because of lack of evidence, but because truth requires surrenderHow darkness reacts when exposed by the lightWhy lies spread fast, but truth still standsThe difference between worldly intelligence and spiritual revelationWhy many people would rather protect their sin than submit to Christ1 John 4:3 (KJV)“And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist…” 2 Corinthians 4:4 (KJV)“In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not…” Matthew 11:25 (KJV)“Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.” 2 Timothy 4:3 (KJV)“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine…” Genesis 3:5 (KJV)“…ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” John 3:19 (KJV)“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light…” Colossians 2:8 (KJV)“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit…” John 8:32 (KJV)“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” People don’t reject Jesus because there’s no evidence. Many reject Him because: Truth confronts prideTruth exposes darknessTruth demands repentanceTruth requires transformationPeople want a version of “truth” that lets them stay the same. But Jesus Christ is not an option.He is the way, the truth, and the life. In this episode, I also share a personal encounter from 2014—a moment during massage school when I believe Jesus revealed Himself to me, took grief off of me that I had carried since childhood, and showed me in a way I could never deny. This is not theory for me.This is not debate for me.This is not religion for me. I know He is real. If this message speaks to your spirit, make sure to like, comment, share, and subscribe.

    🎙️ Proof We’re Living in a Fallen World (Modern-Day Examples)

    🎙️ Proof We’re Living in a Fallen World (Modern-Day Examples) | The Keep It Real Network What’s going on, everybody? I’m your host Herb Hill, and welcome back to The Keep It Real Network, where we speak truth with no fluff, no compromise, and no sugar coating. In this episode, I’m building on the last conversation about the fallen state of this world—but this time, I’m giving you real, modern-day examples of how we know we’re living in it right now. Because let’s be honest… Something feels off. Time feels like it’s moving too fast Reality feels inverted Good is called evil, and evil is called good Sin is no longer hidden—it’s celebrated, promoted, and normalized And if you’re walking with Jesus, you feel that friction every single day. Why everything in this world feels off spiritually The reality of spiritual warfare behind what we see How sin is being rebranded as empowerment and progress Why entertainment, media, and culture push darkness over truth How wickedness is not punished—but rewarded and promoted Why the world uplifts certain voices while suppressing truth The difference between good vessels and bad vessels Why the world supports its own—and rejects righteousness Matthew 24:37–39 (KJV)“But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” This world isn’t just broken…It’s fallen. And the evidence is everywhere: Darkness being promoted as entertainment Sin being normalized and defended Wickedness being rewarded Truth being ignored or silenced The system doesn’t reject rebellion…It promotes it. You are in this world…but you are not of it. This isn’t your home. And if you’re feeling that something is off…that’s not confusion. That’s discernment.

    🎙️ The Fallen World & What It’s Doing to Your Spirit

    🎙️ The Fallen World & What It’s Doing to Your Spirit | The Keep It Real Network What’s going on, everybody? I’m your host Herb Hill, and welcome back to The Keep It Real Network, where we speak truth with no fluff, no compromise, and no sugar coating. In this episode, I’m talking about the fallen state of this world… and what it’s doing to your spirit when you start to truly see it for what it is. There comes a point in your life where your eyes open. You begin to recognize that the evil in this world isn’t just random behavior — it’s spiritual. There is a spirit behind: Wickedness Perversion Violence Deception And once you start to see it, it can weigh on your spirit if you’re not careful. This episode dives into: Why trying to understand darkness can actually damage your peace How exposure to evil affects your mind and spirit Why not everything needs to be studied or consumed The reality of spiritual warfare in today’s world Why obsession with darkness is a trap How to guard your heart, mind, and spirit in a fallen world Why prayer and discernment matter now more than ever I also touch on real-world examples and current events, and why people are waking up to truths that have always been there — but were hidden, dismissed, or labeled. 📖 Key Scripture referenced: Matthew 24:37–39 (KJV) “But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” The truth is: This world is fallen. And the deeper you grow in Christ, the more you will see it. But seeing it doesn’t mean you dwell in it. Instead: You guard your spirit You stay rooted in Jesus You pray instead of obsessing You discern instead of consuming Because not everything you see is meant for you to carry. 💭 If what you’re seeing disturbs your spirit… that’s not weakness. That’s discernment. If this message speaks to your spirit, make sure to like, comment, share, and subscribe.
