PEACE LOVE AVOCADOFINALEWe all get to points where we just need to intentionally rest,it can be due to fatigue or just wanting to be more present in lifes moments. As i end season 2,i thought it would be great to intentionally take time to rest this month. To navigate this season of rest means getting a more intimate relationship with God,strategizing on how i want the podcast to go(the direction it should take). I do hope everyone takes time to rest even in the busyiest of moments and seasons.Till season 3,Peace Love Avocado2023-08-0506 minPEACE LOVE AVOCADOFATHER FIGURESI had this skewed perception of God as my Heavenly Father and believed that He hadnt placed good men around me to "help" or nurture me as father figures.

This is a reminder not to settle for less2023-06-1017 minPEACE LOVE AVOCADOTHE PURGEHave you ever realized that were so influenced by the secular world depsite being Christians? After listening to an episode of The Basement by Tim Ross where he has Jackie Hill Perry as a guest and she spoke about purging from secular music for 30days.It got me thinking,have we been desensitized to worship music and how much it can change not only our posture but atmosphere as well??
