We need to talk about Ghosting. Society will say my generation (Millenial and Gen-Z) are the blame but I disagree. Ghosting is a result of not communicating effectively due to the following:  Your parents were passive  Your friends never liked confrontation so they avoided hard talks Your job didn’t respond to you I can go on and on but the point is that as we get older we must tell others what’s going on or we will suffer in silence. I’ll be honest. I’m not the best at telling others what is going on because I’m used to fixing my problems. My solutions included women, drugs, and alcohol. B ..read more

Have you ever been afraid to make changes in your life because you’ll lose everybody? I have. Ever since I’ve been in celebrate recovery I’ve realized my battles with sexual immorality aren’t the problem, my self-confidence and lack of assertiveness are. Now that I understand this I have to do better. When I was younger I internalized all of the abuse I went through as, “Don’t speak, just accept it”. However, this bleeds over into my adult life. When times got rough or I had to confront anything I just kept silent. Which resulted in being knee-deep in hookup culture, not keeping family or frie ..read more

The Fire of Peter

The Fire of Peter  In Matthew 26:69-75 (New King James Version) Peter denied Jesus three times before the rooster crowed. After realizing he did this, he wept. Peter and the disciples see Jesus being resurrected (John 20) and now their faith is stronger than ever. As Peter and Jesus talk Jesus tells Peter to feed his sheep three times just like how Peter denied Him three times. (John 21:15-17). Now in the book of Acts, Peter is on fire for God performing miracles and healing people. His newfound faith is amazing. It’s crazy to me that Peter denied the son of man, but now, he is testifying the ..read more

God believes in me and that’s all that matters.

Many people will never see greatness in you. They’re quick to remind you of your past, give you disapproving looks because you’re not the typical Christian, and also just don’t want you to shine because you’ve outgrown them or shed your mysterious skin. The world’s best friend is negativity. All it knows is dragging others down and keeping them there. Lately, I’ve been categorized as a warrior, a crazy pastor dude, and maybe even extreme by others for my lifestyle changes to my health and my walk with God. But I don’t care anymore because I follow God, not man or woman. Projections are very co ..read more

Why I stopped watching Horror Films

When I was eight I watched Halloween (1978) for the first time and I was terrified. I remember not being able to sleep at night for a little while. I didn’t share this with anyone because I didn’t want to seem weak. That was a mistake! Years progressed and I became numb to violence. Whether it was the basketball court, a horror film, or anything painful, I was still comfortably numb. Horror films caused me to have violent nightmares. One night, someone was choking me. Oddly enough, I didn’t try to stop it, and instead, I laughed. In my later twenties I scaled back on the horror films I saw but ..read more

Withdrawal sucks!

“Withdrawl sucks” Anybody that’s ever battled addiction will tell you that withdrawals suck. It doesn’t matter if it’s porn, drinking, sex, food, etc. In your earlier stages of sobriety, you are just trying to stay sane. Since I haven’t been doing anything sexual I’ve been battling withdrawal. The symptoms are fatigue, irritability, and pain (more in my back and knees). Three weeks ago, the pain was so dreadful I almost gave in. I told myself, “If I just do it once I’ll be fine. No one needs to know. Besides, I’ll feel better.” I’ve experienced this many times with the following: Being clean f ..read more

I died.. The world has fed me nothing but lies. I don’t understand anything this world has to offer me anymore When I came to Christ I became born again so whenever I tried to resurrect my old self, the demons would try to get me. Now I feel out of place because the old me is DEAD! I was told that drinking was okay but never told how much I could have. Therefore, I’d day drink with my “buddies” and pretended to be happy. So I was an alcoholic. I looked at porn at age 12 like I was watching a cinematic movie and then I started raping (jacking off) myself at 19 to experience more pleasure. So I ..read more

Prosperity Gospel is fast food but the true Gospel is fresh fruit. Let me explain. As a plant-based eater, I’ve realized there is a healthy and an unhealthy way of eating. In America, the prosperity Gospel is microwaveable. Meaning it’s never fresh and recycled often. It’s convenient, easy to access, cheap, and watered down of nutrients. In comparison to feel-good preachers, after their sermons are finished you feel “fed” but do you ever question, “Why am I not full?” That is prosperity Gospel. In the moment you feel better and “enjoyed” your meal. However, since you have not eaten the proper ..read more

“Man’s man vs God’s man”

The old me is dead but I want to resurrect him. I want to go back to the guy who hung out in strip clubs, bars, smoked, drank, and lived in fornication because I feel like being a Christian is boring. This week I wrestled with these thoughts because I had to choose between being a man’s man or God’s man. Matthew 6:24 states, “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” Ever since I was 10 I’ve struggled with lust and porn. In previous blogs, I’ve talked about it, bu ..read more

Are your thoughts from God or the world?

When I was younger my thoughts controlled me. Before I surrendered to Him I used to battle thoughts of anger, wishing death upon people, hating people, and fighting everyone. I would think I was gross, ugly, and could never be loved because my thinking was so destructive due to drinking, sex before marriage, porn, and drugs. Since I was too embarrassed I’d never say anything, which made matters worse. If you’ve ever thought, “I just hate everybody!”  That’s not of God because He is love and justice, not hate and revenge! God does not want you to keep living this way. He wants you to take ..read more
