Happy Feet, A BIG Announcement, & my First Fly Society posting

By -
Good Afternoon, Naturals!





Guess who's a writer/contributor for one of the Flyest Hottest most down to earth Christian media sources today!! You guessed right! God is blessing me more and more by allowing me to reach more people through writing. Amazing! The Fly Society is a media source with a listener base that reaches over 3,000 Christian Millenials weekly through an incredibly real, honest, and entertaining podcast. After experiencing exponential growth from just starting their podcast last year, The owners desired to expand their platform to greater video and written content, which spurred a vision of expanding the audio platform into a full Multimedia network! Joshua Dillard invited writers and content contributors to partner in the vision and join the family and to my amazement, after the application and interview process, I was selected, along with 5 others, to join the contributing team. I am thrilled to be part of a team that is passionate about spreading the knowledge and love of Christ. We will post content in addition to the podcast episodes and Thursday Facebook LIVEs on Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays with content branching from culture, faith, and lifestyle. I will be writing primarily in the Faith section.





I am even more elated to announce that my first article, titled "G.O.E., except our desires", has posted! & because I love you guys so much and am so grateful for your support, I have embedded the first few paragraphs of my post in this post!

Once again, Thank you for your Support! I hope this post blesses you as much as it has blessed me.

G.O.E., except our desires
We live in the era of a self-promoting, self-gratifying generation that promotes Self Over Everything. We are inundated with memes, posts, and propaganda that tells us our happiness should take precedence over everything, even our morals. Moral constructs and standards bend with the sway of a flag in the wind as allegiance is paid to self, then desires, then God. We no longer live in the 90s where everyone sang in unison and the knowledge of the newest Kirk Franklin single was presented like a badge of honor. We live in day and time where it is not “popular” to live for Jesus. It is not popular to submit yourself to rules and the authority of a Higher Power. Everyone is crowning themselves gods, mastering their own fates, and wanting to “just be happy.”


After all, God wants us to be happy, right?


   As Christians, we have been inspired to live a different way, to follow Jesus. We are taught to live for God unashamedly and with a boldness that mirrors Joshua, faith that mirrors Abraham, the heart of David, and love that mirrors Jesus Christ. But I can’t help but wonder if the bad morals around us have imparted any residue on our good character? Have we taken on some of these selfish behaviors and/or characteristics? I’m talking more than the occasional “No new friends,” “Trust No one,” “Self-Made,” or even the occasional “Team No sleep” as well as the affirmations, likes, or re-posts on social media. Have the world's popular views and ideologies deposited seeds in our psyches that, in turn, affect our thoughts and slightly erode our morals?

From God's Heart to Yours

Hello Naturals, 2020 has been such a roller coaster. No one would have predicted that these turn of events would have occurred, between The Outbreak and spread of COVID-19, quarantine, curfews, illicit police brutality, and social unrest. I believe now is the time for me to share a word that God instructed me to preach at a local bible study. My prayers are with you all...now more than ever. I would like to start by asking a question, now this question is not attached nor entangled in any theology or doctrine...just a question and I ask that we dig deep and answer honestly. How have you been humbled during Quarantine? And I follow,  How have you been stretched?  In what areas? How have you been spending your time? Have you used it to draw near to the Lord? Once again, these questions are not attached to any theology nor is this article a proud declaration stating that by allowing a pandemic “ God is trying to tell us something...

From My Heart to Yours

Hey Naturals, I temporarily paused my last post because I felt as though the timing was off and did not want to come off as insensitive. After speaking with my family and to the Lord, I was able to see that the recent chain of events has made the piece even more relevant to the body of Christ. I wanted to pen a letter in response to the chaos around us and why I have been silent. My reaction to it all--shocked myself.  After the footage of George Floyd's murder flooded social media, I felt like I did not have the mental, emotional, spiritual, nor psychological strength to deal with it. Not another hashtag. Not another life lost. Not another cry for justice and another confirmation that my life and the lives of those who look like me does not matter. I couldn't take another disappointment in fighting a system that either ignores us completely or presents reinventions of itself as change. So to maintain sanity, I unplugged. I unplugged from the world, all news...

Yes, And...

  Yes, And… Hello All,  Confession: For those who know, I used to be a blogger/vlogger and writer some years back. I fell off and God has been poking and prodding me to get back to it. I have been walking in disobedience and half-obedience, which we know, half-obedience is still disobedience. So, in confession, I am confessing and moving forward. I have decided to re-dedicate myself unto the Lord and have agreed to walk in full confidence, obedience, and submission unto Him!  Hello, old friends who have been walking with me since then.  Hello, new friends who have joined me since then. I welcome everyone who will continue to walk with me through this journey.  One thing that I’ve learned, a lot, throughout this process is surrender. Although I may have walked away from content creation, I can proudly say that I have never walked away from the Lord. I have continued to study and spend time with the Lord and have jotted down all of my notes and findings, per usual...
