    Run Your Race: Finding Your Footing (Part 1) | RRWS Radio Revisited with Jack Manson

    Run Your Race What if consistency isn't your problem? What if you've simply never been taught how to build habits that last? In Part One of our Finding Your Footing trilogy, Natasha Elaine revisits one of the very first Roads, Rocks, Weeds & Soil conversations with fitness coach and creative entrepreneur Jack Manson. This isn't a replay. It's an RRWS Radio Revisited edition, thoughtfully remastered with new reflections, biblical insight, practical application, and Kingdom music that continues the conversation. Together, Natasha and Jack explore why motivation fades, why consistency matters more than intensity, and how comparison, distractions, and misinformation quietly keep us from becoming who God created us to be. Whether you're rebuilding your health, your faith, or simply trying to start again, this episode will encourage you to keep showing up, one intentional step at a time. In This Episode • Why consistency outlasts motivation • How comparison becomes one of life's biggest weeds • Why wise counsel matters on your fitness journey • Applying Proverbs 4:26 to everyday life • Building habits that honor God Word of the Week: Consistency Scripture: Proverbs 4:26 (NKJV) "Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established." Challenge: Choose one intentional habit and commit to it every day this week. Whether it's walking for five minutes, reading one chapter of Scripture, or praying before checking your phone, remember: Small, faithful steps produce lasting harvests.

    Who Told You That? | The Gospel According to Your Algorithm

    Who told you that? Before you accepted that belief... Before you repeated that opinion... Before you built your life around that idea... Did you ever stop to ask where it came from? In the season finale of Faith, Filters & Real Life: What We're Consuming vs. What We Believe, Natasha Elaine and Anthony Dixon explore how algorithms, podcasts, social media, and repeated voices quietly shape what we believe, what we normalize, and ultimately, who we become. Because every scroll teaches. Every recommendation reinforces. Every voice influences. The question is... Who's shaping you? 🎧 Kingdom Artist of the Week: Tommy Zuko 🎵 Song of the Week: What He Say 🌱 Download the FREE Consumption Filter Worksheet:https://payhip.com/b/onTjp 🎧 SPOTIFY SHOW NOTES In this episode: ✔️ How algorithms shape what feels normal ✔️ Why repeated content becomes repeated thinking ✔️ The difference between influence and authority ✔️ Why discernment begins with awareness ✔️ How to filter culture through the Word of God Scriptures Romans 12:2Ephesians 5:15-16Colossians 2:8Words of the Week: Filtered Featured Guest: Anthony Dixon AMP'D Unfiltered Podcast Kingdom Artist of the Week: Tommy Zuko Song of the Week: "What He Say" Free Resource: Consumption Filter Worksheet Download here: https://payhip.com/b/onTjp Connect with Roads, Rocks, Weeds + Soil 🎧 Mixcloud https://mixcloud.com/rrwspodcast 🎙️ Podbean https://rrwspodcast.podbean.com 📺 YouTube https://youtube.com/@rrwspodcast 🌱 Website https://rrwspodcast.com

    If It Sounds Good… Is It Still Good For You? | Faith, Filters & Real Life ft. Anthony Dixon | RRWS S12E3

    Can something sound good emotionally, but still pull you backward spiritually? In Episode 3 of the Faith, Filters & Real Life series, Natasha Elaine sits down again with Anthony Dixon of the AMP’d Unfiltered Podcast for an honest conversation about music, concerts, lyrics, nostalgia, atmosphere, and conviction. From prom songs and old school jams to concerts, playlists, and the songs that still trigger old memories, this episode asks a real question: What are we agreeing with when we press play? This is not about condemnation. This is about discernment. Because sometimes the music is not “bad,” but it may still have access to a version of you God already delivered you from. This week’s Word of the Week is Deliverance, and the Kingdom Artist of the Week is Big Trilla, with Villain as the Song of the Week. Pray. Read. Listen. Obey. In this episode: Music, memory, and atmosphereWhy some songs still pull us backwardThe difference between emotional alignment and spiritual alignmentConcerts, crowds, and agreementFreedom versus wisdomConviction without condemnationWhat it means when your appetite changesDeliverance as a sign of growthKingdom Artist of the Week: Big TrillaSong of the Week: Villain

    Where You Go Still Shapes You | Featuring Anthony Dixon | RRWS S12E2

    What is your environment producing in you? In Episode 2 of the Faith, Filters & Real Life series, Natasha Elaine is joined by Anthony Dixon of AMP'd Unfiltered Podcast for a conversation about influence, exposure, and the environments that quietly shape who we become. Because environments preach. Not with words. With repetition. Through the Roads, Rocks, Weeds & Soil framework, they explore: 🌱 Why environments affect us before we recognize it🌱 How normalization quietly changes our standards🌱 The danger of repeated exposure and desensitization🌱 Why intentional placement matters for growth, peace, and purpose Because every environment is producing something. The question is whether it's producing what God planted. Word of the Week Produce To bring forth fruit, results, or outcomes. Because every environment is producing something. The question is whether it's producing what God planted. Key Scripture Psalm 1:1-3 (NIV) "Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord... That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season." Kingdom Artist of the Week Bizzle A pioneering voice in Christian Hip Hop whose music consistently challenges believers to live with conviction, discernment, and purpose while engaging culture without conforming to it. Song of the Week Name Your Price A powerful reminder that following Christ often requires surrender, intentionality, and a willingness to let go of anything that competes with God's best for our lives.
