What Do You Do With Opportunities?

What do you do when an opportunity knocks? Everyone gets opportunities in life, but not every opportunity is a good one, and not every opportunity is a bad one. The key isn't whether opportunity shows up. It's how you respond when it does. In this episode of Let's Talk About It, Pastor E gets honest about the opportunities that shaped his own life, from painful decisions that produced lasting consequences to the moment he chose to follow Christ and everything that changed afterward. Drawing from his own failures, redemption, and marriage, he shares why every opportunity deserves more than a quick reaction. The hardest part isn't recognizing that an opportunity exists. It's having the wisdom to ask what that decision will produce tomorrow instead of focusing on how it feels today. Pastor E explains why so many people chase temporary satisfaction, how discernment protects your future, and why saying "no" can sometimes become the most powerful decision you'll ever make. If you've been standing at a crossroads, wondering which direction to take, this conversation is a reminder that every choice plants a seed. The question isn't whether opportunities will come. The question is which ones you'll answer. In This Episode: [00:28] Introduction [01:48] Discerning good and bad opportunities [03:13] Thinking long-term, not momentary [04:19] Examples of good opportunities [06:49] Responding to God's opportunities [07:57] Personal testimony and commitment [09:11] The choice of yes or no [11:35] The greatest opportunity: following Christ [13:44] A call to action [14:49] Seize the opportunity today Notable Quotes [01:53] "Every opportunity is not a good one. And every opportunity is not a bad one. So we have to navigate what we do with each opportunity that comes our way." — Pastor E [03:54] "Most of us jump to opportunities for the moment. It's for the moment. I need this now. But when it develops and it hasn't produced the result you were looking for, now you're struggling—and it could be for the rest of your life." — Pastor E [04:39] "Some of you might even walk around with some things you can't cure right now because of the moment. For that one night, this is what I wanted to do. And now it's this for the rest of my life." — Pastor E [06:33] "If you got a PhD in God, trust me, there's nothing else greater than that." — Pastor E [11:29] "The results in your life come from the opportunities that are presented to you. What do you do with those opportunities?" — Pastor E [12:38] "I'm not gonna sit here and tell you Pastor E is out here walking around on a cloud and he's so holy. I get angry sometimes. I cry sometimes. I get frustrated sometimes. Why? Because everything in my life is not adding up all the way to what I want." — Pastor E [15:05] "Jesus is not gonna return tomorrow, but that doesn't mean tomorrow you will have another opportunity. Seize the moment of today." — Pastor E [15:50] "Choose you this day. Watch your life change because I'm telling you that God's gonna show up in your life and do amazing things." — Pastor E Resources and Links Let's Talk About It Podcast Apple Spotify Pastor Eric Brown Website Email

What Are You Willing to Sacrifice?

What are you willing to give up to become the person God has called you to be? In this powerful episode of Let's Talk About It with Pastor E, Pastor E continues the conversation from last week's discussion on wants versus needs by exploring a question that every believer must eventually answer: What are you willing to sacrifice? Whether you're believing God for better health, financial freedom, stronger relationships, or spiritual growth, Pastor E explains that nothing worthwhile comes without sacrifice. Drawing from everyday examples, including weight loss, entrepreneurship, parenting, and Jesus' ultimate sacrifice on the cross, he reveals that every breakthrough requires letting go of something comfortable so you can embrace something greater. Pastor E reminds listeners that sacrifice is not about losing. It is about making room for God to work. When we surrender our own desires and align ourselves with God's will, He fills every need, strengthens our capacity, and prepares us for the blessings we have been praying for. If you've been asking God for more but have not been willing to release what is holding you back, this episode will challenge you to examine your priorities, embrace discipline, and trust that today's sacrifice is tomorrow's reward. Sometimes the greatest blessing begins with what you are willing to leave behind. In This Episode: [00:00] Introduction and recap of last week's episode on wants vs. needs [01:15] Why every blessing requires sacrifice [03:20] Weight loss, discipline, and everyday examples of sacrifice [05:45] God's greatest example, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ [07:35] Success, excellence, and the unseen sacrifices behind achievement [10:05] Choosing needs over wants in finances and family [13:05] Supporting others through personal sacrifice [15:20] Walking away from unhealthy habits and destructive appetites [18:10] Whatever you feed will grow [20:00] God fills the space created by sacrifice [22:15] Aligning your will with God's will [24:30] Final challenge, What are you willing to sacrifice? Notable Quotes [01:45] "There's nothing that's going to come into your lap without a sacrifice." — Pastor E [04:43] "The results of what we've seen was according to the sacrifice." — Pastor E [10:40] "Right now, what I need is a minivan in order for me to get what I want, which is the Bentley." — Pastor E [18:10] "Whatever you feed is going to grow." — Pastor E [20:20] "Whenever you sacrifice something for God, He's going to come in because what you just created was a need." — Pastor E [23:00] "Not my will, but Yours be done." — Pastor E Resources and Links Let's Talk About It Podcast Apple Spotify Pastor Eric Brown Website Email

Is Your Life In Jeopardy

What if everything you've been chasing, money, houses, cars, the "bag," is actually keeping you from what you truly need? And what if what you already have in your hands is the very key to unlocking everything you've been praying for?In this powerful episode of Let's Talk About It with Pastor E, your host takes a deep dive into the often confusing tension between our wants and our needs. He breaks down why God prioritizes your needs over your wants, how capacity and trust play a role in your breakthrough, and why the miracle you're waiting for might be closer than you think, starting with what's right in front of you.Using the timeless story of Jesus feeding the 5,000, Pastor E reveals a mind blowing truth: the disciples showed up with "nothing," but they actually had baskets in their hands, and those baskets became vessels for overflow. The same applies to you. Your peace, your joy, your love, your health, these are the needs God wants to fill first. Once He can trust you with those, He can trust you with more.If you've been stressed, overwhelmed, or wondering why your prayers about money and stuff haven't been answered yet, this episode is your wake up call. Stop chasing wants. Start stewarding needs. Because when you get that right, the multiplication is inevitable.In This Episode:[01:49] Introduction to "Let's Talk About It"[02:13] Wants vs. needs[03:36] God fills our needs first[04:46] The miracle of feeding the 5,000[08:36] What's in your hand?[09:08] The importance of peace, joy, and love[11:53] God must trust you with money[12:37] Taking practical steps for your wants[13:41] God's plan of healing and deliverance[14:59] Conclusion and final thoughtsNotable Quotes[02:52] "The things we want is us as people — it's usually something tangible that doesn't mean anything.

The Million Dollar Question

What if the very questions you’ve been avoiding are the keys to fixing your spirit? In this episode of Let’s Talk About It, Pastor E flips the script on the classic game show Jeopardy, because in life, you don’t get answers handed to you. You have to ask the right questions. From childhood wounds that still ache decades later to the silent “whys” we never speak out loud, Pastor E gets personal. He shares his own scars, both literal and emotional, and opens up about crying out to God at 40-something over something that happened when he was 17. No polished sermons. Just real talk about trauma, purpose, and why your spirit can’t be fixed until you start asking: What happened? When? How? Why? Whether you’ve been hurt by abandonment, abuse, or just life’s cruel turns, this episode is an invitation to stop running from your questions and let God turn your negatives into positives. Your breakthrough isn’t in pretending you have all the answers, it’s in finally asking for them.

Master Your Response

What if the real issue isn’t what people did to you, but how you respond to it? In this episode of Let’s Talk About It, Pastor E continues the conversation around the 2026 theme: “Spiritually Fixed in ’2026.” He challenges listeners to look deeper at one of the biggest spiritual traps we face: taking offense. Pastor E explains that while people may hurt us, offend us, or betray us, the real battle lies in how we respond. According to him, the enemy’s strategy is simple: get you offended so you react from hurt instead of truth. Once offense takes root, it shapes your reactions, fuels revenge, and keeps your spirit from healing. Using biblical examples like Jesus, Peter, and Joseph, Pastor E shows how true spiritual growth happens when we respond differently than our pain expects us to. Whether your trauma comes from rejection, abandonment, abuse, or betrayal, the path to a healed spirit starts with taking responsibility for your response. If you’re ready for your spirit to truly be restored, start with one powerful shift: refuse to let offense control your reaction. In This Episode: [00:00] Introduction [01:08] Continuing the “Spiritually Fixed in ’26” message [01:36] Understanding the spirit, soul, and body [02:17] The enemy’s strategy: offense [03:34] Vengeance and hurt people [04:17] The responsibility of our response [04:59] The enemy testing identity and reactions [05:26] Jesus in the garden and choosing obedience [07:35] Responding from offense vs responding with love [08:00] The command to love and show mercy [08:50] Ananias and Sapphira and the power of honesty [09:46] Jesus as the example of mercy [11:28] Joseph’s story and responding with forgiveness [12:14] Trauma and how it shapes our reactions [13:05] Letting God handle vengeance [13:28] Why offense damages the spirit [13:59] Testing your response with those who hurt you [15:00] Learning truth through honest conversations [16:05] Taking responsibility for how you respond [16:20] Final challenge: respond better, even when it hurts [16:44] Episode wrap-up Notable Quotes [02:17] “One of the biggest tricks from the enemy is to offend us. We take offense. That’s the biggest problem.” — Pastor E [02:34] “ I can't offend you as long as you don't take it. It's just that simple.”— Pastor E [03:25] “We’re responsible for how we respond.” — Pastor E [03:44] “Hurt people hurt people. Vengeance is ours and it doesn’t matter what happens to them. We wanna be the one to inflict the harm back.” — Pastor E [04:59] “The enemy never wants you to know who you really are.” — Pastor E [07:35] “Once we’re offended, if we took offense, we’re gonna respond from the offense – and then the enemy has you.” — Pastor E [12:42] “How do you respond to the thing that caused trauma in your life? This is how your spirit is going to be fixed.” — Pastor E [13:36] “Nobody can offend you unless you take it. You make it part of your spirit.” — Pastor E [13:50] “ God tells you, now, guess what? I'm preparing this table in front of your enemies. Our first enemy is our family or friends, the people that are close to us because they're the first people that hurt us, and God is saying, okay, they're at the table. Lemme check your response.” — Pastor E [16:33] “ Say it again. I'm responsible for how I respond, so I have to respond better even though it hurts.” — Pastor E Reference: Let's Talk About It S1E16 Let's Talk About It Podcast Apple Spotify Pastor Eric Brown Website Email

Spiritually Fixed in 2026

Are you letting your flesh run your life? Whether it’s addiction, lust, or habits you can’t seem to break, many of us feel spiritually stuck. In this episode of Let’s Talk About It, Pastor E introduces the 2026 theme: “Be Spiritually Fixed.” He breaks down the three parts of the human experience, spirit, soul, and body, explaining how living "flesh-first" traps us in destructive cycles. Real healing, he argues, begins with one thing: telling the truth. Not a polished version, but your raw, unfiltered story. Pastor E opens up about his own past, sharing his struggles with womanizing and dishonesty. He warns that hiding behind masks is like "feeding an alligator", the more you give in, the more it demands. Whether your roots are in abandonment, abuse, or addiction, you must stop letting others define your narrative. Hurt people may hurt people, but healing starts when you stop pretending. If you're tired of being ruled by your flesh, then this episode challenges you to take ownership of your story so you can finally move beyond it. In This Episode: [00:00] Introduction [00:35] Spiritually fixed in 2026 [01:22] Overcoming the flesh: the role of truth [02:43] Pastor E’s personal truths [03:52] Blame, hypocrisy, and feeding the flesh [06:28] Changing social norms and consequences [07:29] Owning your truth [08:42] Trauma and coping mechanisms [09:57] Identifying the real problem [11:06] Breaking the cycle [12:18] Spiritual identity: good vs evil [13:30] Episode wrap-up Notable Quotes [01:07] "If your spirit isn't good, you aren't good." — Pastor E [03:33] "I was looking for something, I don't know, maybe it was just love, because I believe 97% of us are all looking for love." — Pastor E [03:52] "My problem is my womanizing, my lying, all of these things are who I am or who I was." — Pastor E [04:11] "You're never, ever going to get spiritually fixed without your truth." — Pastor E [05:43] "Our problem is, when we feed our flesh, it feels good." — Pastor E [07:49] "If you're going to lie about it, you ain't never, ever going to be spiritually fixed." — Pastor E [08:19] "Nobody could tell your story better than you." — Pastor E [10:02] "The real problem could have been the rape, the abandonment, whatever it is, hurt people hurt people." — Pastor E [11:13] "Your spirit is exactly who you are; this body is a shell." — Pastor E [12:55] "The more you overcome, your spirit will be fixed." — Pastor E Pastor Eric Brown Website Email

If you don’t believe it’s possible, you won’t overcome it

In Part 2 of this episode, we go deeper into the real stories behind the faith. Apostle Andrew said something that stuck with me the whole time, if you don’t believe it’s possible, you’ll never overcome it. We talked about mindset, expectation, and really trusting God even when life doesn’t look like it’s lining up. Apostle Steve shared a moment from his childhood that changed everything for him. But what stood out to me wasn’t just the encounter, it was the decision to walk away from what he was raised in to follow what he truly believed. That cost him something, but it shaped who he is today. I also got real about my own story. The mistakes, the close calls, the things that could’ve taken me out. That’s why I stand on transparency, because you can’t talk about redemption if you’ve never needed it. We closed on character and connection. Who you are matters, and who you’re connected to matters. One thing that kept coming up, believe in people, build people. If you’re in a place where things feel stuck, just remember… you might not control your environment, but you carry something that can change the atmosphere. If this blessed you, don’t keep it to yourself. Share it with someone who needs it… and say something so we can talk about it.

Surviving, Rising, and Answering the Call

What if I told you that going from zero to hero is not just a slogan but a lived reality for those who refuse to let their beginnings define their destiny? In this compelling episode of Let’s Talk About It, Pastor E welcomes two remarkable guests from Ghana, Apostle Andrew Huckman and Apostle Steve Paintsil, for a deep, heartfelt conversation about faith, identity, trauma, and the grit required to rise above life’s hardest seasons. Together, they unpack what it truly means to come from zero to hero, carrying not just personal ambition but the weight of entire families and communities on their backs. Apostle Steve shares a brief but unforgettable moment from his childhood: waking in the middle of the night to see seven radiant figures dressed in white enter a room and anoint his dying cousin. That single encounter shook him, shaped him, and set his spiritual path in motion. Apostle Andrew reflects on his own journey of hardship, from surviving without parents to building a ministry, a school, and even a hospital that now serves countless people in Ghana. This episode is a reminder that no matter where you begin, with faith, humility, and belief in yourself, transformation is not only possible…it is promised.
