In this chapter, we talk about the power of one seed.

Jesus tells us that if we have faith the size of a mustard seed, we can speak to mountains in our lives and they will move. That tells us something powerful—we don’t need the entire Bible memorized, we don’t need thousands of verses at once. We just need one Word from God.

With over 31,000 verses in the Bible, one verse is more than enough to be planted like a seed in our lives. In this message, I share how the Word of God is a seed, just like Jesus teaches in the Parable of the Sower, and how what we do with that seed determines the fruit we see.

As we look toward 2026, the challenge is simple:
• Take one verse
• Plant it in your heart
• Water it daily with prayer
• Strengthen it through obedience
• Guard it with faith when the enemy sends fiery darts

That one small seed, when cared for, becomes a shield of faith and begins to grow into something living, powerful, and life-changing. God’s Word is alive and active—sharper than any two-edged sword—and when faith rises, everything changes.

Without faith it is impossible to please God, and this episode is all about helping your faith rise by watching God’s Word come alive in your everyday life.

Be Still—even when life feels uncomfortable.

I use the example of cold plunging: when you first get in, the cold is shocking and intense. But if you stay still, your body forms a thermal layer that begins to protect you and keep you warm. The moment you start moving around, you break that layer and suddenly feel how cold the water really is.

That’s exactly how faith works.

When life hits hard, our instinct is to move—to fix, to run, to control. But God calls us to be still and trust Him. When you remain in His Word and stop striving in your own strength, faith begins to cover you like that thermal layer. Peace replaces panic. Trust replaces fear.

In this episode, we talk about:
• Staying still when life is uncomfortable
• How faith becomes your protection
• Finding scripture that speaks to your situation
• Standing on God’s Word instead of your emotions
• Why anxiety, worry, and fear grow when we don’t stay rooted in truth

If you’re in a season where things feel overwhelming, this message is for you. Stay in the Word. Stand on the Word. And trust that God is working even when you can’t see it.

My wife and I share our journey through the classes Unique Woman and Maximized Manhood at Lakewood Church—what life looked like before the classes, how God worked in us during the process, and how our lives and marriage have changed after.

We talk honestly about growth, accountability, relationships, faith, and the power of not walking alone. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, this episode is for you. God didn’t design us to do life by ourselves—community matters, marriage matters, and spiritual growth matters.

We hope to see you online or in person on Thursday's!

In this episode of Ced Said, Cedric opens up about a powerful truth: it’s okay to ask for help.
He shares his recent journey starting anger management and how the tools he learned were tested almost immediately—especially during a real-life moment with his wife as they discussed how and when to pay tithes and offerings.

This chapter is all about:

• Admitting we need help

• Being honest about our struggles

• Understanding the difference between reasons and excuses

• Learning to grow instead of shutting down

• Allowing God to use challenges to shape us

• Remembering that failing doesn’t make you a failure

Ced reminds us that progress isn’t perfect. We slip, we get frustrated, we fall short—but with humility, accountability, and God’s grace, we can rise stronger than before.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, discouraged, or afraid to ask for help, this conversation is for you.

Faith vs. Belief

What’s the difference between faith and belief?
We all have the right to believe whatever we want—but that doesn’t automatically make it true. So what does make a belief right? How does faith shape our beliefs, and what does the Bible say about the kind of faith God calls us to?

Join us as we unpack:

• • The difference between faith and belief

• • Why not all beliefs are true

  • How faith transforms belief into action

  • What Scripture teaches about real, living faith

  • The question: Do you have faith, belief, or both?

  This is an honest, practical, Scripture-based conversation designed to help you grow, think deeply, and strengthen your walk with God.

In this chapter, my wife and I talk about how in the book of Numbers, the word armies or hosts is mentioned throughout the first eleven chapters — showing that God was raising up an army from the very beginning. What started as a physical army in the wilderness has now become a spiritual army in the Kingdom of God.

Even today, we are still in a battle — not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of darkness. Ephesians 6reminds us to put on the full armor of God, because the fight has shifted from the natural to the spiritual. God is still raising up His people to stand, to fight, and to walk in victory through faith.

This isn’t just history — it’s His story still unfolding through us. ⚔️

In this chapter, my wife and I talk about what it truly means to find rest in Jesus — not just using His name as a comfort word, but actually entering His rest through the Word of God. We dive into Hebrews 4 and Matthew 11, exploring how rest is not inactivity, but faith in motion. When we trust God’s Word, meditate on it day and night, and walk in obedience, we stop striving and start resting in what’s already finished.Rest is not earned — it’s received.And while we rest, God works.✝️ Watch as we break down how to practically find peace for your soul in the presence of Jesus, the living Word.#CedSaid #Podevangelist #FaithTalk #ChristianPodcast #RestInJesus #Hebrews4 #Matthew11 #FaithOverWorks #RestInTheWord #ChristianMarriage #BiblicalRest #SeekHisWord #SpiritualRest #JesusIsPeace #ChristianCouple #FaithJourney #BibleStudy #GodsWord #FindRest #TrustGodConnect with Ced:Email: cedsaid@podevangelist.comIG/Tiktok: @cedxsaid

Chastening — the loving discipline of God.

My wife and I have been walking through a season where, even though we’re obeying, serving, and staying in His Word, it seems like rejection after rejection keeps coming. But instead of asking “Why us?”, we’ve come to realize that the Lord chastens those He loves. These moments aren’t punishment — they’re preparation. God is shaping, pruning, and training us to produce even more fruit.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re doing all the right things but still facing closed doors, this message is for you. Stay encouraged — His correction is proof of His care, and your obedience is producing something greater than you can see.
