    Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - Good To See You For Another Year

    In this episode, I share an epiphany from a recent conference where I saw familiar faces from last year, and it hit me like a ton of bricks: not everyone made it back this year. Some people we saw last January aren't with us this January. That reality completely changed how I greet people. Instead of those automatic responses we all give—"I'm blessed and highly favored," "can't complain"—I started telling people, "I'm just glad to see your face. I'm glad we both made it back for another year." You should've seen their faces scrunch up as it registered: we're taking these reunions for granted when every single one is a miracle. This isn't just about conferences, fam. It's about US. It's about the loved ones we've lost, the entertainers who seemed invincible, the people who lost their health or their minds. To be amongst the living again, stronger and sharper—that deserves celebration RIGHT NOW, not later. I've been on the road finding value in peace and quiet, getting into my Word, and in those moments, I think about you—this podcast family. When I see your DMs and messages week after week, that's proof God is keeping us together with no gimmicks, just authentic connection. But here's the real talk I need you to hear: one day you might turn this show on and I might not be here. One day there might be no more episodes to listen to. That's just the reality behind life—we all must go one day. So let's celebrate the time we have together NOW. Tap in to this powerful message: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop a comment about someone you're grateful is still in your life, and share how you're going to show them you appreciate seeing their face! Let's stop taking our reunions for granted and start celebrating every single moment we have together. 🙏🏾 Connect with Cousin Ed: 762-333-2032 or @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms.

    The Corner Connection - The Survival Essentials Nobody Needs To Be Talking About

    Family, I need you to sit down for this one. This isn't our typical Cousin Ed's Corner episode. This one episode I didn't want to have to do, but the one I MUST! Today we're diving deep into Emergency Preparedness, Survival Essentials, and protecting your family when the world gets unpredictable. Remember when COVID hit and none of us were ready? Remember the panic, the empty shelves, the uncertainty? I'm watching what's happening right now—military ships positioned outside Cuba, tensions with Venezuela, threats toward Greenland, escalating conflicts with China, Russia, Iran, and Iraq—and I refuse to let my family go through another crisis unprepared. This episode is about our responsibility to protect ourselves and the people we love. We're breaking down seven critical survival categories: food and water storage (6-12 months worth!), shelter and warmth essentials, health and hygiene supplies, communication systems for when cell towers fail, financial preparedness with cash and precious metals, energy independence through solar power, and yes—we're having the uncomfortable conversation about the Second Amendment and family protection. From MREs to two-way radios, from dehydrated food to bartering skills, we're building our survival readiness bags together.  This is the same kind of talk our parents had to have with us about how to act when police pull you over, or how to navigate being followed in stores. These are uncomfortable truths, but they're NECESSARY truths. I'm not trying to scare you, family—I'm trying to PREPARE you. Because love means protection, and protection requires preparation. Tap in to get equipped: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner After you listen, I NEED to hear from you! What's in your survival readiness bag? What am I missing in mine? Do you want Part 2 of this conversation? Send me a DM, drop a comment, or text me directly at 762-333-2032. Let's build this preparedness community together, because prepared neighbors are safe neighbors, and safe families are strong families! Share this episode with someone who needs this message—your parents, your siblings, your friends who think "it can't happen here." Let's protect our people with the same energy we bring to chasing our dreams. 💪🏾 Connect with Cousin Ed: 762-333-2032 or @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms.     Cousin Ed's Corner is not just about motivation—we're about REAL LIFE preparation and protection. This is family taking care of family. Let's get ready together! 👑

    The Corner Connection - Cherishing The Importance of What Truly Matters During the Holidays

    In this episode, we're diving into something that's transformed how I view not just the holidays, but more of how I think every single day—the power of presence and the blessing of "Everyone In The Picture!" This isn't just about family photos—it's about our gratitude, and recognizing that the greatest gift we receive each year isn't wrapped in paper, it's seeing the same faces we love still here with us. Remember when the holidays were all about the parties, the gifts, the celebrations? I'm sharing how my answer to "How was your Christmas? or How was your New Years?" evolved over several days of conversations into something far more profound: "Everyone that was in the picture last year is in the picture this year." Through surgeries, struggles, pain, and life's daily uncertainties, everyone made it. Fam, that's what I'm celebrating. Tap in: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop me a comment about a family tradition that helps you appreciate your loved ones, and share how you're capturing memories before they become all we have left! Let's keep building this culture of gratitude and intentional living together. 💪🏾 Connect with Cousin Ed: 762-333-2032 or @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms. Cousin Ed's Corner is not just about motivation—we're living it. Share this with someone who needs this reminder that every day with our people is a blessing we can't take for granted! 🙏🏾

    Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - How Much Are You Willing To Sacrifice This Year?

    🚨New Season Alert🚨: Season 5 of Cousin Ed's Corner is officially HERE, and we're starting 2026 with a powerful message about sacrifice, service, and God's complete protection over our lives! This isn't just another motivational talk—this is a MOVEMENT, fam. This episode was inspired by the monks walking across America spreading peace and unity, and it got me thinking: What am I REALLY willing to sacrifice for the greater good? What are WE willing to give? I'm getting real vulnerable in this one, talking about how I stepped back from coaching and mentoring during COVID and now feeling that strong pull to get back to serving my community. With two kids graduating this year, I know it's time to pour back into the next generation. But here's the thing—this message isn't just for me, it's for ALL of us. When's the last time you volunteered your time? Read to a kid? Visited an elderly home? Paid it forward? This episode is a challenge to myself AND to you to do MORE in 2026. Tap in to embrace this message and start your year with PURPOSE: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop me a text or voice note at 762-333-2032 and tell me what YOU'RE excited about in 2026! What cause are you passionate about? Who should I interview this season? Where are you from? I want to celebrate YOU and build this movement TOGETHER. If you don't have cheerleaders, I'm over here with my pom-poms ready to cheer you on—nothing you can do about it! 📣 Let's keep building, fam. Share this episode with someone who needs to hear it, and let's make 2026 the year we all sacrifice more, serve harder, and live with INTENTION! 💪🏾 Connect with Cousin Ed: 762-333-2032 or @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms.

    The Corner Connection - Why 2026 Is Going To Be Your Greatest Year Yet

    In this powerful episode, we're closing out 2025 and stepping BOLDLY into 2026 with intention, preparation, and faith! Today, I'm sharing my heart about what it means to make it from Y2K fears to 26 years later—still surviving, still thriving, and still fighting for what's next. This isn't just about New Year's resolutions; this is about US, our community, and strategically planning for the GREATEST year of our lives by breaking it down in quarters and doing the mental and emotional clean-up work that sets us up for multiplication and prosperity. Remember that you've ALREADY done the hard work to get here? We're celebrating that truth while preparing our hearts and minds for everything 2026 has in store. I'm sharing prayers for protection, prosperity, and divine covering over you, your family, and everyone connected to you as we navigate this next chapter together. Whether you're celebrating by the fireplace, in the sanctuary, or out on the town tonight, I'm reminding you to stay SAFE so we can all walk into this new year as a family.
