I'm on a mission to free people to be true to who they really are and to unleash their buried voices within. "Ain't Gonna Be No Stupid" is inspired by birthday verse, Proverbs 7:4, "Say to wisdom, “I love you,” and to understanding, “You’re my sweetheart.” We discuss stupid "situationships", "tolerationships" leading to "revelationships". What may appear wise in the world's eyes is really just foolishness. Our discussions may expose our own foolishness but in doing so, it may bridge that great divide and UNITE. *Check out Ain't Gonna Be No Stupid on YouTube for visual version.

    Ain't Gonna Defy the Lessons in Life's Turbulence with Carolyn Deck

    Introduction | How we know each other 4:15 Faith muscle that grows during struggles 4:48 if you’re not in a storm yet, you’ll be heading into another one or coming out of one. 5:10  Above the Turbulence: Your Ticket out of Pain to Purpose 6:06 Fly higher and you’ll be able to weather the storm 6:40 Gain perspective and look down on your earth’s circumstances 7:11 The eagle flies directly into storms and spreads his wings out and does nothing. The currents of the wind helps them rise up. They have the best predator eyesight too. They also sit and for 40 days and 40 nights like Jesus 8:30 The phrase "mount up with wings like eagles" appears in Isaiah 40:31 of the Bible, which reads, "Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint". 9:12 Be careful what you allow in your mind.  9:42 Travel agent metaphors 10:42 Carolyn’s self-deprecating journey that lead to this book. 11:42 She asked herself, how did Jesus teach a lesson, through stories. 12:05 Head knowledge vs. applying that knowledge. 12:40 spiraling into the what ifs solutions in her book 13:00 Faith is an action word. 13:17 Turn off your thoughts if they are not productive 13:32 Be the air traffic controller of your mind 13:53 Change the channel 14:35 Messages when her mom was in the hospital. She leaned on: • Proverbs 3:4: "Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man"."Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding". "In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight". 15:15 Get in a rhythm with God 16:45 I am the god of order. Do not worry. 18:29 BeLIEve - Lie is inside of BELIEVE 19:15: The power is in our choices 20:20 Also marriage isn’t perfect. It’s two broken people coming together so buckle up 21:30 Prince of this World -  John 14: 1-6 “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you. When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going.” and Corin 2:4 The enemy actively participates in blinding the minds of those who don't believe in Jesus, to keep them from coming to faith in Christ. His purpose is to keep them from seeing the light.  23:45 In the Beginning Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 25:30 God had a plan of redemption and He wants to be loved by us. 26:34 In your pain-Rom 8:28 "And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose" 27:21 No plane has crashed in turbulence 28:21 Not a citizen of earth.  Phil 3:20 But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. 29:50 all proceeds of the book go here:  faceswithnames.org  30:29 Connect the dots of your life to where you are today. 32:55 Link to the creator of the clouds. CONCLUSION 3-2-1 3 Bible Verses 34:11 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity.[b] I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.” The Names of God: Yahweh, Emmanuel, Jehovah Jireh, etc. 2 Books to Read The Garden Within Ed Mylett - DrJoe Dispensa interview podcast 1 Final Thought You are greatly loved, seen, you are worthy and he has a plan for you.

    Ain't Gonna Be in No Legalistic Religious Relationship with God with Tampatha Davis

    9:11 What is Born a Again? 10:37 The Serpeant and the Dust - Genesis 3:14, of the curse given to the serpent that he would crawl on his belly and eat dust all his life. 11:22 Even though we walk with Christ, we still will have issues. Trust and walk with Him. Learn Him.  12:03 Christianity isn’t religion. Fire and brimstone is often fear-based.  12:56 God was fully man and fully God in Jesus. He died for our sins and fulfilled the original covenant in the garden.  13:38 Jesus brought restoration.  14:11 Willy Wonka  14:49 Unlocked on Netflix 15:33 Do we reap what we’ve sown? Thank God for what Jesus did for us. 16:07 For by grace we are saved not by works. 16:50 Fear is what keeps you from being honest. 17:07 Jesus paid the penalty. Don’t let fear stop you from coming forth with anything you’re hiding. 17:37 He welcomes us with open arms. 19:00 Luke 23:39-43 (NIV) The thief feared God displaying it by not hurling insults at Jesus or blaspheming or reviling Him but rather turning to Christ – seeing Him as His intercessor. The thief was aware of his repeated, habitual sin and his inability to save himself. The thief realized that his sin had to be punished. 19:10 Take off the do not disturb sign 19:25 2 Corinthians 12:9: But he said to me, j“My grace is sufficient for you, for kmy power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that lthe power of Christ may rest upon me. 19:40 For when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). 20:00 prayer 22:59 come as you are. Doesn’t need to be formal prayer. Just talk to him. 23:00 Keep coming back to Jesus 23:45 Please God show me you’re real. 24:21 The Bible will reveal God’s character 24:58 Isaiah 53: 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 27:07 The Power of God is still for now. 28:27 His supernatural power is still at work today. 29:04 Kingdom vs. Worldview 30:30 Jesus is still healing today 30:39 John 5:19-20 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. 31:40 Matthew 17:21 [AMP] But this kind of demon does not go out except by prayer and fasting. ” 32:00 How to fast 33:12 Counteracting negative interactions 33:55 “Date night” 34:26 We are the bride of Christ | Ephesians 5:22–33 35:55 How God is with us like parent/child 36:58 How God wows us with our children, the gift they had. 37:55 Tampatha has the mother anointing 38: 15 Matthew 14:14-21 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick. 39:00 Warfare is Alive today 40:00 John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. 40:57 Ephesians 6:12 (KJV) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 41:51 Imposter/copy cat 42:00 God has equipped us with everything we need in our relationship with Him. 42:48 Speak the word to dispel the lies. 43:50 Pray Psalm 91 44:00 Baby Christians - don’t give up 47:15 Ephesians 2:8-9: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
