    🎙️ I'm Off the Market — How God Sent Me My Woman | Let's Parley EP 51 Welp… I'm officially off the market. Praise God. 🙏🏾 For the first time in 3 years, I'm in a committed relationship. Let me tell you, the story of how it happened is nothing short of God's hand at work.

    The Night I Cried Out to God. My Defining Moment | Let's Parley EP 50

    🎙️ "The Night I Cried Out to God. My Defining Moment" | Let's Parley EP 50 For years, I said I believed in Jesus… but I lived like I didn't. One foot in, one foot out. Saying the right things on Sunday and chasing the wrong things by Monday. I thought being a man of God was a standard I'd never reach. Until one night, everything broke. In this episode of the Let's Parley Podcast, I'm finally answering the question so many of y'all have been asking in the comments: what was the moment I knew I had to turn to God for real? I'm sharing the full story. The spiritual emptiness, the woman who walked away, the numbing habits I was running to, and the night in my shower when I finally laid it all down. This one is raw, vulnerable, and the most personal episode I've ever shared. We talk about: My faith journey before I truly surrendered to ChristThe dangers of living with "one foot in, one foot out"How idolizing a relationship exposed my spiritual emptinessThe worldly habits I used to numb the void — and why they failed meMy breaking point and the prayer that changed everythingWhat it really looks like to follow Christ imperfectlyWhy I had to finally commit to the boundaries I'd been avoiding If you've ever felt like a man of God was a standard you couldn't reach… this episode is for you.

    They Brought Up My Past… So Let’s Talk About It | Let's Parley EP 45

    Someone left a comment on one of my recent posts… and it made me stop and think. Do they have a point? Or are they completely missing the mark? The comment brought up my past — specifically my time on reality TV — and questioned how I could speak on being a “man of God” after what people saw. And honestly… I don’t run from that. In this episode of the Let’s Parley Podcast, I break down the comment, my initial reaction to it, and what I took away from the situation. We talk about: •The reality of having your past brought up publicly •Why I don’t shy away from my past — I embrace it as my testimony •The difference between living in your past vs being transformed from it •Why my message isn’t based on my authority — but on God’s Word •How to handle criticism when you’re walking in a new direction This episode is for anyone who feels defined by their past… Anyone who’s been called out or misunderstood… And anyone learning how to stand firm in who God is calling them to be. Your past doesn’t disqualify you. It can actually be the very thing God uses to reach others. Ready to Build Discipline, Structure, and Alignment?

    God Slowed My Life Down… Here’s Why | Let's Parley EP 44

    Have you ever felt like your life just… slowed down? Like things that used to be moving fast — your business, your relationships, your progress — suddenly hit a wall? I’ve been in that exact season. At first, I thought something was wrong. But what I’m starting to realize is… God didn’t slow things down to punish me. He slowed things down to realign me. In this episode of the Let’s Parley Podcast, I share what this slower season has revealed in my life and how it’s allowed me to focus on areas I’ve neglected for far too long. We talk about: •Why slowing down can actually be a sign of alignment, not failure •Shifting from chasing money → to creating real value in business •Approaching dating with patience and genuine connection •Being more intentional with family and friendships •Building roots in your local community instead of constantly moving This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re falling behind… Anyone questioning their current season… And anyone who needs a reminder that God is still working — even when things feel slow.

    I Went to Houston Churches… Something Felt Off | Let's Parley EP 42

    I’ve been visiting churches in Houston… and something felt off. Not everything! There’s been a lot that’s been great. The worship has been powerful, the environments are welcoming, and the people have been incredible. But there have also been moments that made me pause. In one service, the pastor didn’t mention Jesus once. In this episode of the Let’s Parley Podcast, I share my honest observations after visiting multiple churches in Houston. I talk about what’s been encouraging, what’s been concerning, and how I’m approaching the process of finding a church home that aligns with my faith. We talk about: •The strengths of the Houston church scene (worship, community, energy) •Where some churches may miss the mark in their messaging •Why Biblical teaching matters more than emotional delivery •What I’m personally looking for in a home church •The importance of community, mentorship, and serving Finding the right church isn’t just about how it feels. It’s about what’s being taught, who you’re becoming, and how you’re growing in your relationship with Christ. Ready to Build Discipline, Structure, and Alignment?
