    Music Transcending the Moment – Damara Melissa
    Jul 5 2024
    Music Transcending the Moment - Damara Melissa Many times, song writers will create music that reflects a major incident that has impacted their life. The music allows them to communicate their feelings, their trials, their heartache and with Christian believers, often they will communicate their faith as well. Our guest today has had her music played on several Canadian Christian Radio stations; she has made it to the Joy Radio’s Top 20 Christian music list and received a Covenant Award Nomination for “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” in 2022 and another nomination for “Pop Song of the Year” in 2023. Damara Melissa is a singer-songwriter from Ontario, Canada, whose music is driven by her Faith. Her soulful voice, mixed with her pop melodies and style, bring a unique vibe to the Contemporary Christian Music space. Damara has just released her a song that is her own version of “A Thousand Hallelujahs” that is just awesome… She also released here first short album, called “Beginnings,” which document her journey through some of the painful experiences she has gone through…and she is currently working on a second EP called, “The Space Between.” To discuss both of these releases, help me welcome to the program, Damara Melissa! Damara, thank you for taking the time to join us today… I do appreciate it! The first question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Damara Melissa?” You were born in the Caribbean…How old were you when you moved to Canada? Was the music in Canada was a bit different from Caribbean music that you were used to? You experienced a personal loss that led you to begin writing Christian music, correct? Who is this music being published through? How much does your Faith influence the music you now write? Tell us why you put your spin on “Thousand Halleluiahs…” Are you looking at going on tour or joining a group? What is your goal as a Christian music artist? What is the process you use to write your music? Do you just write down your thoughts and let the Holy Spirit guide you from there? Or is there a special process you use? What is the one take away you want the listeners of your music to have? Where can someone go to download or purchase your music? Damara, this is so interesting… if someone has a question or would like to reach out to you, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below. Folks, music is the pathway to the soul. You can find out a lot about a person by listening to the music they enjoy. If you don’t believe me – just do an observation around you as you go shopping or out and about next time. David became KING because He used music to worship the Lord. Amen! That is what brought him to a position of favor with King Saul and eventually, to become King and – through his lineage, we get to Jesus! Amen! And it all started with music! Praise God! I want to encourage you to make a purchase of Damara Mellissa’s music and allow the Holy Spirit to minister to YOU through her music. Amen! Just drop down into the show notes and click the links right there to get in touch with Damara and to get her music loaded to you listening devices. Amen! Do it right now!

  • Life By Design – Mark Collins

    Life By Design – Mark Collins
    Jul 3 2024
    LIFE BY DESIGN Mark Collins As believers, sometimes we fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others. Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good… amen… It’s true…think about this for a minute… Women will observe what other women are wearing, how they fixed their hair, etc. Men will compare themselves to the success of other men… better cars, better neighborhoods… dream jobs – and more… But believers should not be comparing themselves to anyone… we each have a calling given to us by God. We are called, number one: to be ourselves and, number two: to serve HIM in all that we do. So my calling is not the same as your calling; someone else’s calling – even if it is the same “JOB” – is not the same calling as someone else. By that, for example, let’s use me… my calling is to “Get the Word Out” – that is our ministry mission statement. We accomplish the mission by assisting others to “Get the Word Out” about what THEY DO for THEIR CALLING. Hence, the podcast interviews. There are other Christian podcasters. Some teach, some discuss prophecy, some interview others… but WE (my podcast) focuses ONLY on helping someone to share their calling with the world – by helping them promote what they do via a podcast interview. Amen! Anyway… our guest today has a calling on his life to offer Christian men Biblical answers to overcoming fear & uncertainty and to allow them the opportunity to “unleash the Hero within.” Amen! Mark Collins is a pastor, coach, husband, father and the author of a great book, “Life Mastery – Living By Design, Not Default.” He is also the associate pastor of his church and has created several online courses and tools to help equip Christian MEN to achieve the impact they are meant to have. Amen! Now, ladies, don’t turn us off just yet. This is something that will help you relate, encourage and support your husbands as well. You may even learn a thing or two about WHY he does some of the things he does. Amen! To find out more, help me welcome to the program Pastor Mark Collins! Mark, thank you for taking the time to join us today! First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Mark Collins?” What got you interested in pursuing this line of coaching? I alluded to this in the introduction a little bit… that you believe men think we need to “measure up” to some standard in order to be loved and valued. You call this, “Your Character is Calling…” Can you explain that for us? I truly believe every person has a God Given Calling. How do you help those you coach to discover God’s plan for their life is more than their current experience? I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life… (to which my wife would give a hearty AMEN)… but you share how to “Change your life, one thought at a time.” Can you explain that for us? Let’s shift to your book for a minute, “Life Mastery – Living By Design, Not Default.” Why did you write this book? Who is the intended audience? Age, demographics, etc.? How does your book help them to overcome the fear and uncertainty they face – especially in this society today – of standing for their Christian Faith and leading the life they want in Christ? Mark, this is some great information… how can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Life Mastery – Living By Design, Not Default?” Is it on Amazon? This has been so...

    Sharpening the Spear – Richard Walsh pt 2
    Jun 27 2024
    Sharpening the Spear Richard Walsh pt 2 When I started this ministry and knew it was going to be focused 100% online – I started searching high and low for a way to do it effectively, economically and easily… I had to go through many iterations that disproved ALL of those goals… it was not easy… it was definitely not economically easy and it most definitely was not effective… Amen! That is when I made the decision to hire a coach. Someone who has “Been there and done that.” Yes – it cost me some additional funds… but having someone actually tell you, “Don’t do that – save your money… do this instead…” That advice is priceless. Amen! Looking back over these last 14-15 years…I can attest to the true value of finding a coach who can guide down the path of whatever it is you are trying to do. Whether ministry, business, etc… whatever it is you are doing – you can be better. You can be more efficient. You can be more successful. You can impact more people. In the end – the price you pay up front for that type of guidance is, PRICELESS. Our guest today specializes in helping other entrepreneurs find those “immediate, problem solving results” and to build a strategic, long term implementation plan of systemization and scalability. Amen! Richard Walsh of “Sharpen the Spear Coaching” is here today to help us understand how to accomplish this. His program of growth focuses on something he calls, “Time Compression.” Using this information, Richard says he can save you almost 10 years of struggle and costly mistakes. Amen! Richard is also the author of the book, “Escape from the Owner Prison – The Contractors New Way to Scale, Regan Control and Fast Track Growth While Loving Life!” Amen! That sounds like something we all need… Praise God! This is part two (and the conclusion) of a great two part interview with Richard! It is not just having a “great idea” – but a way to deliver the product or services; a way to follow up with clients and potential clients, etc. It was not until we instituted a system into what we did that we began to see profitability. How important is systemization in what you do to help your clients? Is it important to focus on growing a business ability to scale in the future – when you are just laying the foundation to get started in the beginning? I guess the question would be – should they incorporate that ability into their start up planning? Are there some common roadblocks that almost everyone faces when starting a business? I know I suffered from this problem way back in the beginning… the feeling like “I had to do everything” myself. One issue was – I had nobody else. The second issue was – I had no money to hire anybody else. And the third issue was, I was “testing and learning” as I went – so I really had no idea of even how to ask for help - when I really did not know what I needed… Have you encountered these issues as well in helping your clients? Do these things apply to ministry or “Kingdom focused businesses?” CALLING – CHARACTER - COMPETENCY Let’s talk about your book for a minute. Why did you write this book, “Escape from the Owner Prison – The Contractors New Way to Scale, Regan Control and Fast Track Growth While Loving Life?” What will your readers learn as the go through this book? Will this information apply to other industries outside of contracting? For example, “online businesses?” Richard, this is truly interesting… where you 15 years ago when I needed this kind of help? Your book, “Escape from the Owner Prison,” how can someone obtain a copy of this book? I take it is on Amazon? If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question, obtain more information, or maybe they would like to do an interview such as this… How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? I’ll put links to all...

The first question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell a bit about your background and “Who is Richard Walsh?” As I as sharing, when I first started out, life was rough. I had good intentions and thought I knew what to do…when I first went into ministry back in 1999, holding meetings, etc., the people, literally, stayed away by the thousands… there were some meetings in an 800 seat auditorium that had 8 or 9 people there… it was bad… starting on radio… back in 2009, a little better… but radio was a huge cash outlay with very little to show for it… You help people in starting their businesses. How often does someone come to you with, what they think, is a great idea…but they actually have no plan for success? How are you able to help them? It is not just having a “great idea” – but a way to deliver the product or services; a way to follow up with clients and potential clients, etc. It was not until we instituted a system into what we did that we began to see profitability. How important is systemization in what you do to help your clients? Folks, you may not be starting a business, but these strategies work in ministry as well. You may not be starting or operating a ministry – but they work in whatever it is you are trying to do. Amen! I highly, highly encourage you to drop down into the show notes and reach out to Richard Walsh right now. Right now! Amen! Share this information with someone you know WHO IS starting a business. Help them to avoid the heartache and pain of falling into the trap of “doing it all yourself.” Amen!

    The Happy Trap – TS Wright

    The Happy Trap TS Wright

    Have you ever felt trapped before? It’s not a good feeling, is it?

    It may have been a situation you were manipulated into, unaware of what was happening…

    It could have been something you willing did – hoping for a different outcome…but here you are…

    Maybe you were caught in a “Happy Trap?”

    What is that Brother Bob? I’m so glad you asked!

    Scott Wright is back today and last time he was on, we had a great discussion about the “Fragrance of Jesus.” There were a lot of interesting things brought out during that discussion… if you missed it, go back to the archives and dig it out. Amen.

    But today, Scott is going to share with us information on “The Happy Trap…” To do that, help me welcome back to the program, our good friend, Scott Wright!

    Scott, it’s good to have you again – I’ve been looking forward to the conversation today!

    What in the world is a “Happy Trap?” Is it good or bad?

    How does this apply to the end times and what people will become?

    What does it “look like” in modern society?

    So this type of “happy trap” started when…?

    What should we, as Christians, take from this discussion today?

    Scott, this has been so interesting. I love doing “deep dives” into different, well, let’s just call them, “God Centered Concepts” of the Bible and of Worship.

    If someone wants more information or would like to ask a question, how can they get in touch with you?

    I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…

    Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Scott Wright. Get in touch with him. Subscribe to his podcast. And be sure to purchase his journal and start learning all about the “God Centered Concepts” that he specializes in. Amen!

    Do it right now before you forget about it later. Amen!

  • The King’s Council – Rylee Meek

    The King’s Council – Rylee Meek
    Jun 23 2024
    The King’s Council Rylee Meek

    Many churches and ministries are struggling to survive since the pandemic – when EVERYTHING was shutdown… but the expenses continued. Amen.

    Many business owners experienced the same thing and have struggled to adapt and survive as well.

    It is not unusual for ministries, churches and entrepreneurs to look for ways to save money AND still be a blessing as much as possible as we go about doing Kingdom business. Amen?

    If you are a Christian entrepreneur seeking to grow your business without compromising your faith; or you strive to keep your Sunday spirit alive from Monday to Saturday, in boardrooms and business meetings or you have a dream to build something meaningful, create a legacy, and you dream of making a difference in the world…

    If that sounds like you or thoughts you may have had, you will want to pay attention to the episode today. Our guest is going to shine a light that will be a blessing to everyone listening right now. Amen!

    Rylee Meek is the founder of “The King’s Council Community” and teaches on “Christian Entrepreneurship” and the “Kingdom Economy.” He is a successful businessman who has earned 7-8 figures in revenue for all of his 9 companies – in the first year they were in business. Praise God!

    The “King’s Council” mission is to start and scale businesses for the ultimate goal of GIVING and ADVANCING the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. Amen.

    Rylee is the author of a 3-book series called, appropriately, “The Kingdom Entrepreneur,” with 2 of the 3 books already published and his the host of “The King’s Council Podcast.” Amen!

    Help me welcome to the program, Rylee Meek! Rylee, thank you for taking the time to join us today! I’ve been looking forward to this conversation!

    First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Rylee Meek?”

    You formed “The King’s Council” back in 2020 – just before the pandemic. What role did your organization serve during that trying time for many churches that, literally, shut their doors during that time?

    I saw the statistics on your website that the “average Christian” only tithes 2.5%. Those are the “tithers.” Which means the “givers” are actually less? Is that right?

    Your focus is on helping “Kingdom Entrepreneurs.” How do you help them and what will they accomplish with your help?

    In this economy we are living in today, many people worry about being able to provide for their family, etc. Some tell themselves, “Somebody else will have to tithe, I need the money for our light bill.” But yet, the Bible is clear that we need to take care of the “House of God” and then God will take care of “our house.” Correct?

    One of the programs you have is the “PROvision Processing.” Can you share about that, how it works and what it does?

    Does the “PROvision Processing” work with online platforms or is it only like “in store” terminals, etc.?

    Tell us about your podcast, “The King’s Council Podcast.” How long have you been podcasting?

    Tell us about your “King’s Council App.” What will someone find if they download the app?

    You recently held an event called, “Become the CEO of Your Life.” Share about that event and what transpired…

    You also have line of clothing apparel. Tell us about
