God is Formatting Your Life for Better. Let Him Reset You. Last night as I lie in bed, the Spirit tapped me on my proverbial shoulder. He gifted me with a spiritual analogy: A book I recently published underwent a series of formatting protocols. It hadn’t occurred to me how similarly aligned the formatting process was to spiritual warfare and maturity in Christ as the book had to be… bled– When you bleed an image, the idea is to bring...

Any tritone compositions evoking fright are excluded. Without elicitation of fear, or its potentiality, control over the viewer’s emotions elusively dissolve.

My hand plunged into the plastic dispenser filled with pre-printed affirmations pulling a single folded paper segment from its container. Employing two hands, I peeled it open. The paper revealed the following words: “I am deserving of success and abundance in all aspects of life.” The confirming contents trigged an inner awareness as the statement closely aligned with prophetic declarations ushered across TikTok over the past several weeks by content creators and preachers. Below, I share ten of my favorite... Read more

Is it valid to say that one’s lived landscape determines one’s cultural identity? As one’s physiognomy has the potential for direct impact when changing geographical locations, can movement from one region to another possibly perpetuate evolving cultural strands? Losing Identity: Shifting Spaces, Changing Faces briefly ponders on the notion culturally and metaphysically. Take for example, one who leaves Europe to live abroad. Do they silently denounce their culture as they re-patriate? Or, does exiting their former nation forfeit allegiance,... Read more

After sealing the final leftover container from Thanksgiving, securing it to the freezer due to real estate scarcity, many embark on Christmas curations. Some assemble synthetic tree limbs in yadah to God. Others adorn perimeters of their humble homes with garland, lights and Christmas ornaments. However the crux of the Christmas season is in one’s giving. There are those who, year-in-and-out, spend countless hours neatly wrapping presents… only to have their gifts rejected and returned to the retailer from which... Read more
