That burning passion inside you—the one that keeps you awake at night, fills your mind with ideas, and pulls at your heart—isn't random. It's a divine clue pointing to your purpose.

In this soul-stirring exploration of passion and purpose, we discover how these two forces work together in God's divine plan. Drawing wisdom from Romans 12:11, we learn that maintaining our spiritual fervor while serving the Lord creates sustainable enthusiasm that doesn't quickly burn out. True transformation happens when we align our desires with heaven's assignment.

Jeremiah's story offers profound insight into how God prepares us for our calling before birth. "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you," God declared, revealing that our purpose existed before we did. This truth challenges our perspective—we're not searching for something we create, but discovering what's already been woven into our design.

The journey isn't without obstacles. Fear of judgment, comparison with others, and delayed obedience can derail us from our divine assignment. Yet through prayer, fasting, and careful attention to what genuinely excites versus burdens us, clarity emerges. A powerful live testimony during the episode demonstrates how staying faithful and abiding in God's presence leads to unexpected breakthroughs and divine appointments.

Your passion is not optional—it's a signpost leading to your assignment. When you say yes to both, you live fully, freely, and faithfully as God intended. As Job 17:9 reminds us, "The righteous keep moving forward, and those with clean hands become stronger and stronger." You were created for such a time as this, uniquely equipped to fulfill a purpose that glorifies God and serves others.

What does it truly mean to be rooted in Christ? In this heartfelt episode, Prophetess Stephanie L Harrison welcomes back her son Tylan "T-Funk" Fowler for a profound conversation about spiritual growth, overcoming distractions, and discovering authentic faith.

Fresh from his first year of college, Tylan shares candid reflections about facing real-world challenges while trying to maintain spiritual focus. "The distractions are real," he admits, but those very struggles become the "growing pains" that strengthen character when we stay grounded in God's word. Mother and son dive deep into Proverbs 24, exploring timeless wisdom about envy, self-control, and building a life on God's foundation.

The conversation takes a powerful turn when they discuss the fruits of the Spirit. Rather than viewing spiritual growth as a checklist of behaviors to master, Tylan offers this perspective-shifting insight: "It's not about doing more, it's about abiding more." This becomes the heartbeat of their dialogue – that authentic transformation happens naturally when we're deeply rooted in relationship with Jesus.

They tackle relevant challenges facing believers today, from social media's comparison traps to choosing relationships wisely. "Proximity is prophetic," Tylan observes. "Depending on who's around you and who's pouring into you shows if you're growing or being contaminated." His wisdom beyond his years shines through as he encourages listeners not to fear being set apart from worldly patterns.

Whether you're navigating your own spiritual growing pains or seeking deeper intimacy with God, this mother-son conversation offers biblical perspective, practical wisdom, and heartfelt encouragement for staying rooted in what truly matters. How might your life change if you focused less on performance and more on being planted in good soil?

The power of our words shapes everything from our closest relationships to our spiritual growth. Diving deep into Proverbs 17 and James 3, this episode reveals how what we say reflects who we truly are at heart.

Wisdom speaks clearly through these scriptures: "Better a dry crust eaten in peace than a house filled with feasting and conflict." This profound truth challenges us to consider what we truly value. Are we trading inner peace for outer appearances? Our listening habits and speech patterns reveal our character in ways we might not realize—those who eagerly listen to gossip and slander demonstrate the condition of their hearts.

The vivid analogies in James 3 illustrate how something as small as our tongue can direct our entire life: like a bit controlling a powerful horse, a rudder steering a massive ship, or a tiny spark igniting a forest fire. Our words carry extraordinary power to build up or tear down. The contradiction of using the same tongue to praise God and curse people made in His image reveals our need for transformed speech that flows from a transformed heart.

Perhaps most revealing is the contrast between earthly and heavenly wisdom. Earthly wisdom operates from envy and selfish ambition, leading to disorder. Heavenly wisdom is "pure, peace-loving, gentle, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere." This distinction forces us to examine which wisdom guides our daily choices and conversations.

This episode challenges you to become a peacemaker—to pray before speaking, let offense fall away, and cover faults instead of exposing them. Even when justified to "clap back," choose to speak life, knowing that wisdom will speak for you when you allow her to. Your words reveal your heart, and a heart transformed by God's wisdom produces speech that heals rather than hurts.

Have you checked your heart lately? Pride—that silent destroyer—might be blocking your blessings without you even realizing it.

In this profound spiritual exploration, we dive deep into the dangers of hidden pride and why God explicitly states He "resists the proud but gives grace to the humble." The truth is, pride isn't always obvious or loud. It often lurks quietly in our accomplishments, our independence, and even our good intentions, making us resistant to correction, unable to receive help, and blind to divine truth.

Looking at Pharaoh from the book of Exodus, we witness the ultimate case study of how pride hardens hearts against God's miracles and messages. Despite witnessing supernatural signs, Pharaoh's pride prevented him from heeding God's command until devastating personal loss finally broke through his resistance—a sobering reminder of pride's destructive potential in our own lives.

Jesus, by contrast, shows us the perfect model of humility. Though King of Kings, He washed feet and served sacrificially, demonstrating that true greatness comes through surrender, not self-exaltation. This paradoxical spiritual principle—that the way up is down—offers us freedom from pride's suffocating grip.

What might God be trying to show you that pride is blocking? How might your spiritual growth accelerate through genuine humility? It's time for an honest heart check. Remember, pride can't go where God is taking you. Stay low so He can lift you high, and watch as doors open that pride once kept firmly shut.

Take five minutes today in stillness before God, asking Him to examine your heart and uproot any pride He finds there. Your breakthrough might be closer than you think—just on the other side of surrender.

Have you ever found yourself at a spiritual crossroads, unsure which path to take? In this deeply moving episode, host Stephanie L Harrison returns to the studio after a brief hiatus, bringing along her daughter PJ who celebrates her 17th birthday on Juneteenth. Together, they navigate profound biblical truths about faith, patience, and authentic relationship with God.

The conversation opens with a powerful devotional about life's journey, emphasizing that spiritual growth isn't instantaneous but requires consistent effort and patience. PJ offers a remarkably mature perspective, comparing spiritual development to relationships: "God doesn't work like that. If you were in a relationship with someone for three days, you wouldn't move in with them on day three." This insight sets the tone for an exploration of how God prepares us for blessings we don't yet realize we're not ready to receive.

Mother and daughter delve into Psalms 21, revealing God as our ultimate source of strength and joy, before exploring Jeremiah 33:3 – what they call our spiritual "911 call." This divine invitation to direct communication with our Creator promises wisdom beyond human understanding. The discussion reaches its zenith when examining Matthew 7's teachings about judgment, seeking truth, and bearing authentic spiritual fruit.

Perhaps most compelling is PJ's candid assessment of her generation as "lost in a maze," contrasted with her passionate declaration that "this side is better" – referring to life guided by faith. Her fresh perspective challenges listeners across generations to examine whether their spiritual lives display merely leaves or true fruit. "Some people might have leaves on their tree but they ain't really bearing no fruit," she observes with wisdom beyond her years.

Whether you're beginning your spiritual journey or seeking renewal on a well-traveled path, this conversation reminds us that God's love drives out fear, nothing is too difficult for Him, and the narrow gate, though challenging to find, leads to abundant life. Start your mornings with gratitude rather than screen time, and watch how even small steps toward spiritual growth transform your perspective on everything.

Picture this: you're standing at the beginning of a new year, 2025, eager to start fresh and align your life with a higher purpose. That's the journey we're embarking on together today. I'm Stephanie L Harrison, and we'll explore the profound insights from Psalms 111:7, focusing on trustworthiness and spiritual alignment. Through my personal journey and the unwavering support of the Iron Sharpens Iron group, who have been faithfully seeking God every morning for the past eight years, we tackle how doubt can be the stumbling block to spiritual growth and the transformative power of aligning our goals with divine purpose.

We also tackle the intense challenges of spiritual warfare, using the story of Jesus' temptation in the wilderness as our guide. In a world filled with distractions and temptations, Jesus' experience after fasting for 40 days serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of spiritual nourishment and obedience to God. We draw comparisons to the trials faced by Elijah and Elisha, delving into stories of miraculous provision and the battle against skepticism and pride. These narratives not only highlight the power of faith and divine intervention but also offer lessons on the strength found in obedience to God's word.

Our discussion wouldn't be complete without addressing Jesus' profound proclamation of Jubilee and His mission of liberation and transformation. As we reflect on the enduring challenges of skepticism that Jesus faced, we realize that faith and forgiveness are the cornerstones of living a life aligned with God's word. Through the lens of Israel's vine imagery, we emphasize the essential act of trusting Jesus to lead us. As we step into 2025, it's about embracing new beginnings with faith, allowing Him to drive our lives towards purpose and fulfillment. Join me on this journey of faith, trust, and spiritual renewal.
