  • Just a Couple of Thoughts (Season 1 Finale)
    Sep 27 2024

    In this heartfelt and reflective season finale of the Delightful Discourse podcast, I take a moment to appreciate and thank you, my esteemed listener, for your unwavering support throughout Season 1. Without a structured plan in this episode, I share candid thoughts and reflections, creating an intimate and genuine atmosphere as I recap the journey.

    The Delightful Discourse podcast, was born out of a personal dark season, and I touch on it, explaining how it has evolved to inspire hope by the grace of God. I express gratitude for the diverse guests who have shared their stories and expertise acknowledging the podcast's growth and the unexpected blessings it has brought.

    Throughout this episode, I emphasize the importance of trusting God's control, even in the darkest times, sharing the profound impact of specific songs during challenging seasons of my life, such as "Kontolola" by Pompi, "Somewhere in the Middle" by Casting Crowns, and "It Will All Work Out" by Lecrae. These songs have ministered to my heart and provided comfort and strength and I hope they will do the same for you.

    I also talk about friendships and relationships, encouraging you to accept the different seasons of friendships and to let go of those that no longer serve you. I also read an excerpt from a blog about Joseph's story, reminding us that delay is not denial and that God never forgets His people.

    Revisit the episodes of Season 1, reflecting and gleaning inspiration from each one. I promise an exciting and impactful Season 2, filled with new insights and powerful stories.


    Until then, always remember that GOD IS IN CONTROL.


    Peace!

  • Somewhere in the Middle: When Fear Meets Faith
    Sep 20 2024

    In this final episode through the book of Habakkuk, I delve into the prophet's powerful response of worship amidst turmoil and uncertainty. We journey through Habakkuk's heartfelt prayer, reflecting on God's unchanging essence, character, and purpose. I unpack the vivid imagery of God's wrath and deliverance, drawing parallels to Romans 1:18-20, highlighting the undeniable evidence of God's eternal power and divine nature in creation.

    The raw human emotions of fear and trembling that Habakkuk experienced are brought to life, underscoring Habakkuks' steadfast resolve to trust and rejoice in the Lord despite the impending calamity. This episode encourages us to embrace our vulnerabilities before God, trusting in His meticulous and sovereign plans even when they defy our understanding.

    Join us as we find strength in God's faithfulness, embrace His mercy, and learn to wait patiently for His divine timing. This episode is a powerful reminder that God's love and kindness are ever-present, guiding us through every season of life.

  • Great is Your Faithfulness
    Sep 13 2024

    In this powerful episode of the Delighted Discourse podcast, I dive deep into the third chapter of Habakkuk, exploring the prophet's profound shift from doubt and frustration to awe, wonder, and worship. We witness a dramatic transformation in Habakkuk's tone as he recalls God's mighty acts of deliverance and shifts his focus from the current crisis to God's past faithfulness.

    Join me as I reflect on the importance of remembering God's past deeds, which anchor us in our stormy seasons, and how this remembrance leads to a powerful declaration of faith. Through personal anecdotes, reflections, and a touching story about a little girl named Ashley, I illustrate the significance of holding onto the 'diamond' of God's faithfulness and mercy.

    Let's explore how Habakkuk's journey from complaint to reverence can inspire us to trust God's unchanging nature, omnipresence, and good works. This episode reminds us that even in our darkest moments, we can find strength and hope by recalling God's past faithfulness and calling upon His mercy.


    Chapters

    (02:39) Exploring Habakkuk Chapter Three

    (07:22) From complaints and accusations to humility and reverence

    (31:39) People have no excuse for not recognizing the God behind creation

    Remember, God's faithfulness and mercy are our anchors in the storm. Never forget to call upon Him.
