8 | Favor is: Grace, Growth & God’s Unmerited Yes

They said, “Favor ain’t fair.” But sis, when God puts His hand on your life, it’s not a fluke—it’s a faith move. And guess what? Favor is fair when you’re walking in divine alignment.
In this episode of The Faith Podcast, I’m unpacking what it really means to be favored—beyond the fluff and Instagram captions. Based in Genesis 6:8, where “Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,” we explore how favor is the highway to destiny, not just a shortcut to success.
You’ll learn how to:
EVOLVE your mindset to match your mission
Stop letting free excuses cost you profitable results
View EXPENSES as investment, not loss—especially when faith is fueling your next move
Favor will cost your comfort, but it’ll crown your calling.

F.E.A.R. = False Expectations Around Results.

In this episode, we’re going after the spirit of fear that’s been keeping you stuck. Whether it’s fear of failure, rejection, or not being enough—that fear has no authority over you.

🎯 Refocus on your mission, not the mess
🛑 Stop comparing your chapter 1 to someone else’s chapter 10

3 | No More Pity: Start Where You Are, Finish With Faith

“It doesn’t matter when we start. It doesn’t matter where we start. All that matters is that we start.”
Sis, the pity party is canceled. There were 45 days left in 2019 when I recorded this—but no matter what day you’re listening, this truth still hits: You have time to make something happen. And it starts with faith, not feelings.
In this episode, I’m speaking directly to that part of you that’s been stalling, second-guessing, or feeling sorry about what didn’t work out. The delay does not mean denial. Let’s rise from the ashes, shake off self-pity, and activate that bold next move.
We’ll talk about:
Why pity keeps you stuck, but purpose moves you forward
How to reset your mindset and reclaim your momentum
What it really looks like to finish strong with God—even when the year didn’t go as planned

1 | Validation Expired, FAITH Activated: Stepping Into Purpose Without Permission

Are you waiting for approval before you move? Sis, what if I told you the validation you’ve been seeking already expired—and it’s time to activate your FAITH?
In this kickoff episode, I’m diving deep into what it really means to walk by faith. Spoiler alert: it’s not always pretty. It’s unfamiliar. It’s uncomfortable. It demands your vulnerability and will stretch your trust in ways that feel painful… but the pain of faith is always anchored in the unshakable promises of God.
You’ll hear what happens when we stop waiting for permission and start walking in purpose. It’s time to trade validation for vision, comfort for calling, and fear for forward motion.
