    Anchored In… Romans 12:1 | I Wanted Transformation — God Asked for Consecration First

    Today we slow down and sit with Romans 12:1 together. For years, I thought “present your body as a living sacrifice” meant simply giving something up for God. But through fasting, prayer, and consecration, the Lord revealed something deeper: Transformation doesn’t happen without surrender. Holiness doesn’t happen without offering ourselves fully. In this devotional episode, we walk through Romans 12:1 in multiple translations and talk honestly about: what a living sacrifice really means how fasting becomes an act of worship why consecration precedes transformation and how God uses obedience to shape us from the inside out This isn’t about performance. It’s about posture. This episode is an invitation for you to slow down, sit with Scripture, and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal what God wants to correct, heal, and sanctify—not just through you, but in you. If you’ve been praying for change, renewal, or growth with God… this conversation is for you. Subscribe for weekly faith-based conversations and devotionals. Like, share, and send this to someone who’s learning what surrender really looks like. Let’s grow together.

    What Fasting Revealed About My Need for Surrender and Transformation

    At the start of the year, I went into a 21-day fast looking for clarity from God. What I didn’t expect was that fasting wouldn’t just give me answers—it would give me more of Him. In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, I share honestly about why I fasted, what was revealed during that season, and how surrender, consecration, and sober-mindedness opened the door to deeper intimacy with God. From family illness and exhaustion to hidden ambition and the call to slow down, this fast exposed more than I planned—but it also transformed me. We explore what Scripture really says about fasting, why obedience often comes before understanding, and how yielding to God is not weakness—it’s freedom. This conversation is for anyone who feels stretched, called deeper, or aware that God is inviting them to let go of control and trust Him more fully. Scriptures referenced: Acts 13:2 Matthew 6:16–18 Psalm 139:23–24 Romans 12:1–2 2 Corinthians 3:17–18 This episode is an invitation to reflect, surrender, and ask an honest question: What are you laying down before the Lord right now? 🎧 Listen, reflect, and sit with God—without rushing the process.

    Anchored in Psalms 139: 23-24 | Devotion

    What happens when you invite God to search places in your heart you’ve learned to manage, ignore, or hide? In this devotional episode of Eat Don’t Compete, I want to invite you to sit with Psalm 139:23–24—a prayer that became weighty yet grace-filled for me as I allowed God to thoroughly search my heart and lead me in His everlasting way. As we read this passage across multiple Bible translations, I share why asking God to search us can be both powerful and uncomfortable. Through personal reflection, I talk about spiritual growth, the danger of becoming casual with God, and how hidden heart issues—like offense, anxiety, and misplaced comfort—can quietly shape our walk with Him. This episode is an invitation for you to slow down, sit with Scripture, and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal what God wants to correct, heal, and sanctify—not just through you, but in you. If you’re longing for deeper spiritual maturity, heart transformation, and honest prayer, my prayer is that this episode encourages you to let God do the internal work that leads to lasting change. If this episode resonated with you: ✨ Subscribe to Eat Don’t Compete ✨ Share this episode with someone who’s navigating spiritual growth ✨ Leave a review to help others find this conversation And take time this week to meditate on Psalm 139:23–24—slowly, prayerfully, and honestly.

    I Didn’t Realize How Much I Was Rushing Until I Was Forced to Slow Down

    I Didn’t Realize How Much I Was Rushing Until I Was Forced to Slow Down is an honest reflection on pace, pressure, and what God reveals when everything finally gets quiet. In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, Jazmine shares vulnerably about a season of slowing down, listening more closely to God, and realizing that stillness isn’t inactivity—it’s cooperation. Through personal reflection and biblical truth, she explores how God often exposes our hearts privately before anything ever surfaces publicly—and how that kind of exposure is not punishment, but grace. This episode unpacks: Why God slows us down when ambition gets loud How stillness reveals what striving tries to hide The difference between godly ambition and selfish ambition Why hidden seasons are often preparation, not punishment How refinement precedes true spiritual transformation What it means to trust God’s timing over our own pace If you’ve felt frustrated by waiting, uncomfortable with rest, or confused by a season of slowing down, this conversation is an invitation to see stillness as grace—and refinement as proof that God is investing in you. Stillness doesn’t mean you’re behind. Hidden doesn’t mean you’re forgotten. And refinement is often where transformation begins. If this episode resonated with you: Subscribe to Eat Don’t Compete for faith-centered conversations on identity, obedience, and spiritual growth Share this episode with someone navigating a season of waiting or refinement Leave a review to help others find this space and know they’re not alone And take a moment today to sit in stillness—God may be revealing something to you, privately, in love.

    Anchored in God's Word | Ecclesiastes 12:13 Devotion

    A devotion to God’s Word rooted in Ecclesiastes 12:13. In this Anchored In God’s Word devotional, we reflect on what it truly means to fear God, keep His commandments, and live with eternal perspective. Ecclesiastes 12:13 reminds us that after all striving, searching, and questioning, God’s Word brings us back to what matters most. This devotional is an invitation not just to listen — but to sit with Scripture, study it, and allow it to shape how you live. For further Bible study: Read Ecclesiastes chapter 12 in full and ask: – What does “fear God” mean in my daily life? – Where have I been striving apart from obedience? – How does this verse anchor my purpose?

    Wrestling with the Tension of Becoming | Genesis 32 [Full Teaching]

    In this powerful message, I share a word the Lord gave me titled “Wrestling with the Tension of Becoming.” If you remember we shared on the  ⁨@EatDontCompete⁩  podcast a teaching on the same title, but let's just say this was a bit more in-depth. Drawing from Genesis 32:24–30, we follow Jacob’s wrestle with God—his identity shift, his name change, and the tension that shaped his destiny. This message is for anyone who feels the weight of transition, transformation, spiritual tension, or the struggle between who you were and who God is calling you to be. I walk through: What are you really wrestling with? Have you encountered God in the middle of your tension? Does your tension hold a blessing? Has your name changed—but you’re still answering to the old one? Are you walking in your spiritual birthright? I also share my own origin story—my childhood, abandonment, adoption, rebellion, endurance—and how God used every tension in my life to shape the call on my life. This message is both instructional and testimonial, a reminder that God still uses the least likely and builds miracles from messy beginnings. If you’ve ever wrestled with identity, calling, surrender, or transformation… this message will speak to you. God is still changing names, shifting destinies, and calling His people to become everything He ordained. Key Scripture: Genesis 32:24–30 Supporting passages: Genesis 25 • Genesis 28 • Genesis 35 • Genesis 46 • Genesis 27:36 • John 3 • John 17 • Galatians 3 Main Themes: – Wrestling with God – Spiritual tension – Identity in Christ – Name change in scripture – Birthright vs blessing – Calling, purpose, destiny – Transformation and spiritual growth – Becoming who God has called you to be   If this message blessed you, share it with someone who is in a season of becoming.
