Fiction Writing

Here is my lecture from Word Fest 2018: The Art of Fiction Writing. Want to write a great story? Want to live a great life? The obstacles that separate your purpose from your goals create tension that will transform your life — a principal that fiction writers use to transform their characters.

Small Things

Why Jesus – Day 38 Today’s Devotional: Doing the small things in life are just as valuable as doing the big things if God has called us to do them. If our motive is to stay obedient to God, we will do everything unto the Lord! “Has the potter no right over the clay, to […]

Dead Last: A Chance to Catch Up

I joined a team to run the Beach to Bay, a six-person marathon run in Corpus Christi, Texas. Each person ran a distance of 3 miles to 5 miles. There were six legs of the run, and I was the first leg, which was on the beach–thus the name “Beach to Bay.” There were 8,000 […]

Walking Through Quick Sand

 “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart” (Galatians 6.9 NKJV). There are some seasons that literally every day feels like walking through quicksand. Waking up is difficult. Working is difficult. Thinking is difficult. Doing daily tasks is difficult. And not […]

Finding Freedom from Familiar Spirits

A familiar spirit or otherwise known as a familiar stronghold is a way of thinking that does not line up with God’s Word. People do not recognize that their thinking is wrong because they are accustomed to it. Mainly, they were raised with parent(s) or in an atmosphere that normalized this incorrect thinking.

MY QUIET TIME PART 4: FAITH SOAKING SEASON 2 EPISODE 4

Finally, we are at the fourth and final part of my quiet time, which includes Bible Reading, Meditating on His Word, Listening to the Holy Spirit and Speaking in Tongues.

MY QUIET TIME PART 3: FAITH SOAKING SEASON 2 EPISODE 3

Now that we know we are the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ and have flipped the script and turned the enemy’s lies into God’s truth, we can continue to the third part of my daily quiet time. Now I claim God’s promises by faith. We all have an assignment on earth, and God has […]

MY QUIET TIME PART 2: FAITH SOAKING SEASON 2 EPISODE 2

  Now that we loosed the 7 Spirits found in Isaiah 11.2-3, we acknowledged the Holy Spirit and declared His fruit in our lives, and we put on the Armor of God; it is now time for the second part of my quiet time. I recite the Priestly Prayer over me and my family. This […]

The Violent Take it by Force

“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force” (Matthew 11.12 NKJV). Before Jesus says the above quote, He had been talking about John the Baptist to the crowds. John was not a “reed shaken in the wind” who was “wearing […]
