Well friends, my better half and I are back speaking on the topic of marriage! And not just marriage in general, rather, we’re speaking to the topic of enduring through marriage in all the different facets marriage brings. In our culture today, often times people marry under a “contractual” or conditional state of mind. I’ll […]
What an honor it’s been to share some time preparing a message specifically for our beautiful singles! David and I love few things more than connecting our hearts to others who desire to grow in their walk with God, improve upon the person they’ve been called to be, and who love wisdom just as much […]
Markee Johnson, Dell Technologies Global Sales Consultant Beautiful sister, hello! Can you believe we’re 1 month into 2019?! I feel like I blinked and there went 2018. At the start of the year, there is an electricity of expectation and flurry of planning the first few weeks. We make declarations of all the changes to come: […]

Filming for a month, I spent most days pinching myself because I could not believe this was my life. After years of vision boards with my name in lights, me attending award shows, even […]

One of the ladies in my group shared how she typically responds to pressure when going through it with someone else.
