What's your core talent — not your job title, but the thread underneath everything you do? Rekesha "The Midwife" Pittman joins host Monica Roxanne to break down why "stay in your lane" is a limiting belief, not a biblical one. There are no lanes in the sky.

Rekesha shares the framework that changed her career: identifying the one talent expressed through ten different rooms — praise dance, publishing, coaching, leadership training. Using Joseph's story (pit, Potiphar's house, Pharaoh's palace), she shows that the gift never changes — only the room's ability to resource it does.

This episode also tackles the false sacred vs. secular divide, the difference between charging for ministry and charging for goods and services, and how to turn talents into treasure without making your calling an idol.

If you've ever asked, "Lord, is this still you?" — this one's your answer.

Over the last three episodes, Dr. Chris Montgomery and I have talked about performative Christianity, the cost of disconnection, decolonizing our faith, and what it looks like to return to God for real. In this final chapter of The Recalibration Series, we bring the conversation to its most personal, most convicting place: accountability — for leaders, for congregants, and for every single one of us who has ever had to decide whether to stay or go.

Dr. Chris opens this episode with four questions every leader in the body of Christ needs to sit with right now:

• Did you just go — or were you actually sent?
• Do you actually know the God who sent you?
• Is the title or position you carry legitimate?
• Who is your pastor?

That last one hit different. Because a leader accountable to no one is not just unprotected — they're dangerous. And we've been watching the evidence of that play out in real time in 2026.

In this conversation, we get into:

• The real definition of accountability, and why "I'm human too" is not an excuse for a lifestyle
• Why do some leaders not know God? They know the God of grandma, the God of the Bible as a bedtime story, but not the living God
• The story of Eli, and what happens when leaders refuse to correct the people in their care
• What it looks like to challenge a leader with humility — and why you can't have a real relationship with something you can't critique
• Why your quiet exit can be more powerful than any public announcement
• When you're aware of the problem and stay anyway — that choice is now on you
• Dr. Chris's mission with Hey Bro, Let's Heal — and why men of faith are bleeding internally while the church hands them a grin-and-bear-it theology
• What gives Dr. Chris hope right now — and it's not a program, a platform, or a strategy

This series has been one of the most important conversations I've hosted on FaithFlex. Three episodes. Three parts of one truth: the church is being refined, and so are we.

God is still drawing people. He's still revealing the truth. He's still in the business of restoring what's been broken. That's the hope we close on. 🙏🏾

Part 1 was the diagnosis. Part 2 is the direction - Recalibration, Truth, and Returning Back to God

In this episode of the FaithFlex Podcast, Dr. Chris Montgomery and I pick up right where we left off — and get into the most personal, practical part of this conversation: What do you do when you still love God but you don't trust the systems, personalities, and platforms built in His name?

Dr. Chris gives us his own testimony — and it's not what you'd expect from a pastor and apostle. He didn't get delivered at an altar. He found God in his living room. And he never stopped going to church. That distinction matters — and it could change everything for someone who's sitting on the fence right now.

In this episode:✅ Why the church has been dispensing truth from an uncalibrated scale — and what it costs people✅ The hard questions about Westernized Christianity we have to stop avoiding✅ "I am you" — Dr. Chris's personal testimony of finding God outside the four walls✅ Why you can't say you love God and hate His bride — but the bride must be critiqued✅ Why leaving quietly and becoming part of the solution matters more than making noise on your way out✅ What transparent, accountable leadership actually looks like in practice✅ "Transparency is the best form of ministry" — Jesus lived His life out loud✅ The difference between mistakes and mayhem in leadership✅ Why when leaders live in contradiction, it makes God seem unbelievable

This is for everyone sitting at the edge of faith, holding on. The prescription hasn't changed. It's time to calibrate the scale.

This is the conversation a lot of us have needed for a long time. And I knew exactly who had to be in the room with me.

Dr. Chris Montgomery is a pastor, apostle, therapist, and one of the most grounded voices I know sat down with me for what I can only describe as a real, raw, and necessary reckoning. We are living in a moment where the word "Christian" is carrying weight it was never meant to carry, where young people are walking away from the building but not from God, and where those of us who grew up in the church are finally asking the questions we were never allowed to ask out loud.

In this episode, Part 1 of The Recalibration Series, Dr. Chris and I dig into one of the most pressing issues of our time: has modern Christianity become more performative than transformative?

We get into:

• Why the church started performing for applause and how the presence began to leave when the noise got louder
• The three real costs of our disconnect: community, credibility, and the "retaliatory migration" of an entire generation
• How denominations and the loss of the prophetic voice set the stage for where we are right now
• The clear, specific, and honest signs that a faith community has crossed the line from healthy leadership into manipulation and control
• What recalibration actually means, and why the church has been dispensing the wrong dose of truth for generations
• Why God is not intimidated by your questions, and why you shouldn't be silenced for asking them
• A preview of Dr. Chris's upcoming podcast, Hey Bro, Let's Heal, and why the men in our faith communities desperately need this space

This is not an attack on the church. This is a love letter with a correction notice attached. Because God is still drawing people, still refining His church — and we owe it to the next generation to stop performing and start being present.

Part 2 is coming — and we're turning the heat up.

Can I be honest with you for a second? There have been seasons where I looked in the mirror and didn't fully understand what was happening with my body — and as a woman living with PCOS, that feeling ran deep. So this conversation? It was personal.

This week on The FaithFlex Podcast, I'm sitting down with Emily Schwartz, founder of Wholehearted Health with Emily, and she is bringing something different to the table. Emily isn't handing you another diet plan or a one-size-fits-all wellness formula. She's meeting you exactly where you are — with hope, science, and a whole lot of grace.

Together, we unpack Emily's Triple H Framework — Hope, Habits, and Happiness — and why hope isn't a soft starting point. It's the foundation everything else is built on. We also get into her DNA-based wellness approach, which uses a simple cheek swab to give you a 46-page personalized blueprint of how your body was designed to thrive. No needles. No guessing. Just truth about how God made you.

Here's what we cover in this episode:

• Why hope is the thing most women are actually starving for — and how to get it back
• What DNA-based wellness really means and how it removes the guesswork from your health journey
• The real reason your hustle is hurting you — and why rest is not the reward, it's the work
• How Emily hit a major leadership milestone in her business by choosing to honor the Sabbath
• Why caring for your body is not selfish — it is stewardship
• The one actionable step Emily wants every woman to take this week

Whether you're deep in your health journey or just starting to ask better questions about your body, this episode will give you language, clarity, and most importantly — permission to begin again.
