After a much-needed hiatus, Jelani and Stacy are back with a powerful new episode. In "Being Obedient," we dive deep into the importance of following God’s direction and how obedience has shaped our lives in profound ways. Over the last four months, we’ve experienced both challenges and growth, and through it all, staying obedient to God's guidance has kept us grounded, humbled, and reminded us that He is our ultimate source. Join us as we share our testimony and reflect on the transformative power of obedience. You won’t want to miss this one!
