Kolendra J. Harrell, author of She Was just a Girl takes a moment to acknowledge imperfection, and then speaks on Established Faith. Passages to Review include; Genesis 1: 1-2 John 1: 1-3 Romans 1:20 New Living Translation (NLT)

Join us next week for another Kingdom Connection on Iwitness2go.

Kolendra J. Harrell of Iwitness2Go encourages you to focus forward.

What you focus on will expand—so speak life over your day, thank God in the middle of it, and remain rooted at the feet of the Father.

You are not alone, and you will not fail when your focus is on Him.

Kolendra J. Harrell shares a quick word of encouragement on the Iwitness2go Podcast. Sometimes life requires us to pause and pivot, especially when things feel uncertain. No matter what we face, nothing can be bigger than God. Even in difficult moments, He will never leave us, forget us, or forsake us. My prayer is that this short message reminds you to keep God first and trust what He is doing in your life.

This week on Iwitness2Go, Kolendra welcomes her husband, Brian Harrell, for a powerful and honest conversation about giving, generosity, and heart posture.

After celebrating the sold-out release of She Was Just a Girl at Barnes & Noble in Newnan, Georgia, the discussion shifts to what God placed on Brian’s heart: 2 Corinthians Chapter 9.

Many of us grew up hearing “pay your tithes.” But what does Scripture actually say? Paul reminds the church that giving is not about pressure, obligation, or emotional manipulation. It is about the condition of your heart.

God loves a cheerful giver. This is Part 1 of 2. Stay connected for next week’s continuation of this conversation.

Kolendra sits down with Cameron Smith for a raw and honest conversation about faith, family, church, prayer, finding your way back to God, and why your salvation through Jesus Christ cannot be taken away no matter where you are in your journey. Cam shares his journey from growing up in Southern Baptist churches and Christian private schools to serving in the military where he began questioning his faith and exploring what he truly believed.

Kolendra gets vulnerable about her own faith journey after losing both parents and learning to see God as Father, Friend, and Comforter when her earthly covering was gone.

This episode reminds us that believers are not perfect people. We are simply people who chose Jesus and are learning to walk out our faith in everyday life and business.
