    Episode 27: Win Your Day — The Battle Between Flesh and Spirit

    What if winning your day isn't about being perfect, but about choosing to keep walking with God even when you're struggling? In Episode 27 of the Building Faith Podcast, host Rolanda J. Buck (Coach Ro) gets real about the daily battle between flesh and spirit, the weight of sin, and the freedom found in Jesus Christ. Grounded in Romans 7 and Romans 8, this episode explores the importance of spiritual discipline, self-control, repentance, and surrounding ourselves with a community that encourages accountability and growth. Too often, believers allow guilt, shame, and past mistakes to convince them that they cannot return to God. But the beautiful truth is that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Our struggles do not have to define us, and our shortcomings do not have to become our final destination. Coach Ro reminds listeners that winning the day means making intentional choices, surrendering to the Holy Spirit, and understanding that even when we fall short, we have an opportunity to get back up, repent, and walk in transformation. Your struggle may be real, but so is your redemption. And the very thing you thought would defeat you may become the testimony that leads someone else to Christ. Scripture References: Romans 7:14–25; Romans 8:1–13; Galatians 5:22–23. Remember, Faith Builders: Go and be amazing on purpose, with purpose, and for purpose! WIN. YOUR. DAY. 💜 #BuildingFaithPodcast #CoachRo #WinYourDay #FaithOverFlesh #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianPodcast #Romans8 #FaithBuildersUnited

    BUT WE HAD HOPED…

    WHEW! Y'all, this episode took me somewhere! 😭 Have you ever been so disappointed with what God DIDN'T do that you almost missed what He WAS doing? In Luke 24:21, two disciples said three words that really made me sit and think: "But we had hoped…" How many of us are living in that very statement? But I had hoped He would heal me.But I had hoped that relationship would work.But I had hoped that door would open.But I had hoped things would turn out differently. But here's the question: Did God actually promise us those things, or did we create expectations based on what WE wanted Him to do? In this episode, we're unpacking the difference between God's promises and our personal expectations, how disappointment can challenge our understanding of His character, and what it means to surrender our expectations without abandoning our faith. Because sometimes we aren't losing faith in God. We're losing faith in the version of God we created in our minds. And listen, disappointment is real. Grief is real. Unanswered prayers hurt. But God's faithfulness isn't measured solely by whether we receive our desired outcome. If Jesus never becomes who you expected Him to be, will you allow Him to show you who He really is? 📖 Luke 24:13–35 | Matthew 11:2–6 | Hebrews 13:5 🎧 Tune in to Building Faith Podcast with Coach Ro! 💬 Let's talk: Have you ever had to release an expectation to better understand who God really is? Go and be amazing people on purpose! ❤️ #BuildingFaithPodcast #CoachRo #ButWeHadHoped #FaithOverExpectations #ChristianPodcast #FaithJourney #TrustGod #BiblicalTruth #SpiritualGrowth

    Dissertation of Life

    What if the season you’re calling a setback is really just a revision? As I move closer to the dissertation phase of my doctoral journey, God has been showing me just how much this process mirrors LIFE. We make proposals about how we think life should go.We review the literature of our past.We ask questions—sometimes the wrong ones.We receive feedback we don’t always want.We need a committee of wise people around us.And through it all… there are revisions. 😮‍💨 But Philippians 1:6 reminds us: ✨ He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion. Maybe God didn’t reject your proposal. Maybe He revised it. Maybe this chapter isn’t punishment. Maybe it’s preparation. And before you decide God forgot about you… check the data. 🙌🏾 You’ve got evidence that He’s been faithful before. Your life is still being written. Your story is still developing. And God is not finished with you yet. 🎧 Tap in for this solo episode of Building Faith Podcast: “Dissertation of Life.” And remember: The Lord is the SOURCE. Everything else is just a resource. 🤎 #BuildingFaithPodcast #DissertationOfLife #FaithJourney #Philippians1v6 #TrustGod #GodIsStillWriting #FaithBuildersUnited #ChristianPodcast #CoachRo

    How does Jesus respond to trauma with Jennipha Ricks (Jae)

    On this episode of the Building Faith Podcast, I sit down with Jae Ricks of Jae Elle Consulting for a much-needed conversation about trauma, faith, relationships, healing, and what it really means to become trauma-aware. We talk about the wounds people carry that others may never see, how unresolved trauma can show up in our relationships, why accountability is still necessary even when there is a reason behind our behavior, and how we can love people without allowing their pain to continuously wound us. But we also asked the question at the center of it all: How does Jesus respond to our trauma? Because healing doesn't mean your story disappears. Your scars don't have to become a source of shame—they can become evidence that what hurt you did not have the final word. And one thing we want the Body of Christ to hear clearly: faith and therapy do not have to be enemies. 🙌🏾 This conversation is for the person who has been hurt, the person trying to heal, AND the person trying to understand how to love someone who is hurting. You are seen. You are loved. And healing is possible. 🤎 🎧 Episode 23: How Does Jesus Respond to Our Trauma? Building Faith Podcast with Coach Ro Go and be amazing people on purpose. ✨ #BuildingFaithPodcast #CoachRo #Episode23 #TraumaAndFaith #TraumaAwareness #HealingJourney #FaithAndTherapy #ChristianPodcast #Healing #WomenEmpowerment #MentalHealthAndFaith

    The Men Who Built Faith

    The men came through and BUILT some faith! 🙌🏾🔥 Before a brand-new episode of the Building Faith Podcast drops next Monday, we’re taking it back to some powerful moments from the men who have sat down with us — Bryce, Preston, Steven, Markus, and John Griggs. 🎙️ Different stories. Different seasons. Different perspectives. But one thing remained the same: God was present in every conversation. From faith and purpose to vulnerability, growth, obedience, and becoming the man God has called you to be, these conversations reminded us that strength doesn’t always look like having it all together. Sometimes strength looks like being honest.Sometimes it looks like surrender.Sometimes it looks like admitting, “God, I need You.” Fellas, your story matters too. 💙 Catch up on these conversations while we get ready for an ALL-NEW episode dropping next Monday! 👀🎙️ Until then… Go and be amazing people, ON PURPOSE! 💙 #BuildingFaithPodcast #FaithBuildersUnited #MenOfFaith #ChristianMen #FaithOverFear #Purpose #Vulnerability #MensMentalHealth #ChristianPodcast #BuildFaith #GrowInPurpose

    Vulnerability is an invitation to get closer to God with Markus Jackson

    In this episode of the Building Faith Podcast, Coach Ro sits down with Markus Jackson, also known as Christian artist Mark Dog, for a transparent conversation about men, faith, emotions, discipleship, purpose, and what it really means to surrender to God. Society has taught many men to “be strong,” suppress their emotions, and handle their struggles alone. But Scripture gives us a different picture. From David openly expressing his emotions before God to Jesus calling believers into community, we are reminded that vulnerability has a place in our relationship with God. Coach Ro and Markus unpack what happens when we stop hiding behind our emotions and start bringing them honestly before the Lord. They discuss the importance of godly community, finding people who can walk with you through difficult seasons, understanding the difference between purpose and calling, renewing your mind, and recognizing that conviction is not condemnation. Most importantly, this conversation is a reminder that you were never meant to do this walk alone. Whether you are struggling with shame, anger, purpose, temptation, isolation, or simply trying to find your way back to God, His grace is still available. Sometimes surrender looks like admitting, “I need help.” Find your community.Fast. Pray. Be vulnerable. Stay consistent.And when God says, “Come,” don’t be afraid to get out of the boat. 🎙️ Welcome to another conversation where we’re building faith, growing in purpose, and learning how to choose God—even in the vulnerable places.

    I Don’t Know If God Will, But I Know He Can with Preston Thomas

    Sometimes faith looks like letting go. 🙏🏾 In this episode of the Building Faith Podcast, I sit down with my cousin Preston Thomas for a powerful conversation about what happens when you stop doing things your way and truly surrender to God. From law enforcement to entrepreneurship, from marriage to fatherhood, Preston shares what it looked like to trust God when he didn't have all the answers—and how God taught him to sit at His feet before moving forward. Sometimes God isn't telling you to work harder.Sometimes He's telling you to be still.Sometimes the blessing is on the other side of your obedience.And sometimes your greatest testimony is born in the season where you had to trust God without knowing what was next. This conversation reminded me that faith isn't faith until it's tested. 🔥 If you're in a waiting season, a transition, or wondering what God is doing—this episode is for YOU. 🎙️ Building Faith Podcast✨ Listen. Reflect. Grow. Build your faith. #BuildingFaithPodcast #Faith #TrustGod #ChristianPodcast #FaithJourney #GodsTiming #Surrender #Obedience #ChristianEntrepreneur #Testimony #WalkByFaith #FaithOverFear #CoachRo

    When the Room Isn't Full, But God Still Moves

    Sometimes obedience doesn't look like success. I planned an event for 50 people… and only 6 showed up. And if I'm being completely honest, at first, it hurt. I questioned myself. I wondered where I went wrong. I wondered if all the planning, praying, fasting, preparing, and believing had been in vain. But God had to remind me: my responsibility was obedience, not outcomes. The room may not have been full, but God was there. We broke bread. We shared tears. We had real conversations. People were impacted. And through the eyes of those who attended, God showed me that what I thought was a failure was never a failure at all. Sometimes God has to shift our perspective because we're so focused on what we expected that we miss what He actually did. Proverbs 16:9 reminds us that we may make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps. So if you're sitting in a season where things didn't turn out the way you expected, don't call it a failure too soon. Maybe God is teaching you to trust Him beyond the numbers, beyond the applause, beyond the attendance, and beyond what makes sense. Six people came. God still showed up. And that's enough. You are still worthy. You are still called. You are still capable. And most importantly, you still need Jesus. ❤️‍🔥 🎙️ Listen to the newest episode of the Building Faith Podcast as I share what this experience taught me about faith, expectations, disappointment, purpose, and trusting God when things don't go according to plan. #BuildingFaithPodcast #FaithBuildersUnited #TrustGod #FaithOverFear #WalkByFaith #GodsPlan #ChristianEncouragement #FaithJourney #Purpose #Obedience #KeepGoing #GodStillShowsUp
