    Was It You or God Who Broke Your Heart?

    Let's just be honest people. Who was it really? Was it you or was it God who stripped away the very thing you committed your life, energy, and soul into? Was that plan of yours one that you've submitted to the Lord or did you just come up with that all on your own? Listen as three girlfriends share their unique experience when dealing with heartbreak. How did they get into this situation and how did they get out? Three completely different stories told that came to one central conclusion: God's purposes will prevail, rather we like it or not. Share, laugh, comfort, and express is what Shante Cooks, Shanice Wiggins, and Stephanie Caldwell decided to do around the topic of heartbreak. This ain't no "regular-degular" story (although mine (Shante) is) of heart break but really the story that lead us to heartbreak simply because of our own plan. God knows the plans He has for us, will you follow? Please share if this was a blessing to you. Comment, Review, & Download Want to support Closet Conversations? Have any questions?

    Do You Even Like You?

    Hey, Hey, Hey!  We are officially one month old! Congratulations to us! thanks to all of you who listen consistently, every Friday evening. Today we are talking about loving ourselves, and that first starts with "do you even like you?"  Enter into the Closet as Shante maps out the way she began to love herself. "The Middle Ground" she calls it, is the place where you are, where you're going, and taking responsibility. She shares her own life's journey of weight loss and healthy living as a testimony and an example of how she got to where she is now & the continual process of the journey.  Allow yourself to see yourself this year, you are worth it! "If you can't love yo-self, how in hell you gone love somebody else?" RuPaul  Please share if this was a blessing to you. Comment, Review, & Download Want to support Closet Conversations?

    Will You Stand or Will You Fold?

    Excuse my language y'all! Sheesh, she the BIG MAD. Join Shante inside of her personal closet as she decides to stand on the identity that God formed before the foundations of the world. Listen as she prays, declares, and prophesy what and who God says that she is. She'll teach a little and pray much, as she denounces the evil report, Shante stands bold in her fight against the plans of our enemy. Her faith in God produces a "Holy Ghost attitude," as she would put it, and allows her to see the truth of her identity. Short teachings on the Holy Spirit, praying in the Holy Spirit, and the elementary levels of prayer with the Father, she allows us to see her uniqueness & authenticity as she enters her prayer closet. Being honest is what God looks for, & she for sure was honest on this episode. Encouraging us all to stand ten toes down in boldness & the winds blow mightily, her decision to be who God made her to be has given her a battle that has already been won. We still have to show up to the fight, clothed in God's armor and she's done just that. It may be "ratchet" and it may be "unusual" but it is her truth. God is with us, God is for us, & WE have the victory.  Knowing who you are in Christ makes you fight until the death. Death of yourself, death of the old, death of the curses, that you may be born into greatness in God. Will you stand or will you fold? It's up to you. Please share if this was a blessing to you.

    Who Will You Become??

    Hey Y'all!  Want to hear how two friends discuss our becoming stage and the intricacies that come with this journey to becoming? Keep listening.  Stephanie Caldwell is one of my newest friends but also one of my greatest friends. Listen as we discuss how we decide our identity based on the plans that God has for us. Addressing intake, boundaries within ourselves, intentionality, and plain old self-awareness, rest as the two of us have one of our weekly discussion about life, growth, & the pursuit of God's identity for us.  Spirituality needs practicality and Steph gave us just that. Becoming is a journey, a process, but what determines the outcome? Well, listen as we discuss this in it's totality here on Closet Conversations.  Please share if this was a blessing to you.

    God Who??

    Sheesh! Did she really just come like that? - SURE DID! Listen, as the host of Closet Conversations shares her life's testimony, the reason she's able to host this podcast, the trial and error of her life's experience and the goodness of God. Too many times we are too comfortable with allowing the evil report to linger in the earth, well NOT on her watch. Shante has allowed herself to know the Truth of God, so much so that she can kill the shame of serving other gods in front of the entire world. How is she able to do this? With the love and support of our Lord Jesus Christ. Why would she do that? "WHY NOT?" she asks. A "Holy Ghost attitude" she likes to call it, listen as Shante pours her heart out about the dangers of the horoscope and tarot card reading and allow the grace of God and the knowledge of the kingdom of darkness to penetrate your heart, hopefully giving you a new understanding or a fresh "Holy Ghost attitude" to run up on satan and all his minions. It's testimony time! The Word of God says "And they overcame and conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, for they did not love their life and renounce their faith even when faced with death." Revelation 12:11 AMP. Well, that's exactly what Shante did on this Closet Conversation. Please share if this was a blessing to you. Comment, Review, & Download Want to support Closet Conversations?

    Afraid??

    Join us as we share the real raw of creation and producing. I'm afraid! Will it get done in time? Will it present as excellence? I've never heard a Podcast like this, who will even listen?  Enter into the closet and converse with the creator of Closet Conversations as she shares her fears of the production of this project. She speaks of who and where she can go to when life frightens her and how she concurs the myth of perfection and inability to complete what she started.  Her safe refuge? Jesus. Who does she go to when panic arises? Abba (God our Father.) Where can she run when knowledge isn't sufficient? The Closet, where Christ dwells, where she can cry and scream and laugh, knowing that The Holy Spirit of God is here to help.  As she gives the gift that has been given to her, Shante allows us to see how she enters the closet scared and unaware and how once in the closet, she can soar to higher heights.  Where do you go when you're afraid? Who can you go to when your scared?  Shante goes to the closet where her Savior dwells. Would you like to enter?  any questions, comments, or testimonies?  email: closetconversations1@gmail.com
