    You Are Still Evolving

    Walking with the Lord will help you to remember that He is taking you through a process of evolving. If you are willing to hold out for who you are becoming, you will see that God needed to process you on each level so that you can arrive at where you are now. So, don't fight the process! God is allowing each step to gradually build you for the next level. This episode serves as a reminder and has become a testimony of what 7 years of walking with the Lord to create this platform has been like. We pray it encourages you.

    The Rocks are Crying Out: Faith Talk

    The lack of praise we may witness, change in the reverence for the House of the Lord, the endless food recalls, and/or even the multiple earthquakes sometimes makes me think about when the Bible talks about the rocks crying out. _________________________ About the Show: Intellectual Beats features in-depth interviews with guests to discuss issues relevant to society, share stories of how they overcame obstacles to get to where they are now, and encourage you to take the steps needed to succeed along your journey. _________________________ Follow Intellectual Beats!

    Focus on the Mission

    A moment along my journey reminded me of when Jesus rebuked Peter because he became a hindrance to Him. And when the moment happened, I knew it was nothing personal. In fact, I knew it was coming from a place of love. A hindrance is defined as a person, thing, or action that makes progress, movement, or an activity more difficult. Can you identify what is hindering you from being about the mission God set before you? _________________________ About the Show: Intellectual Beats features in-depth interviews with guests to discuss issues relevant to society, share stories of how they overcame obstacles to get to where they are now, and encourage you to take the steps needed to succeed along your journey. _________________________ Follow Intellectual Beats!

    Hold Up the Light

    Have you found yourself feeling tired or drained from being the light? We have been designated by God as chosen vessels to be the light. But it is also a decision that we have to make daily- to hold up the light. Whether you are a person with many responsibilities or simply trying to navigate life in this economy and political culture among the social unrest and injustice in so many places, don't stop shining for Jesus. _________________________ About the Show: Intellectual Beats features in-depth interviews with guests to discuss issues relevant to society, share stories of how they overcame obstacles to get to where they are now, and encourage you to take the steps needed to succeed along your journey. _________________________ Follow Intellectual Beats!

    Your next level requires leaving something behind

    My students are always teaching me lessons, or bringing to my mind how God works. They helped me to remember that as each school year closes, it signifies that it is time to go to the next level. _________________________ About the Show: Intellectual Beats features in-depth interviews with guests to discuss issues relevant to society, share stories of how they overcame obstacles to get to where they are now, and encourage you to take the steps needed to succeed along your journey. _________________________ Follow Intellectual Beats!
