A Wisdom & Grace Reflection on Time, Purpose, and Presence “For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.”Proverbs 9:11 - KJV I remember being around five years old when I became acutely aware that I was in the world. Aware of my own existence. I have vague memories before then, but at five, I remember hunting for four-leaf clovers in the grass. I was looking closely at the ground, searching for something special among the green. Then I

The ‘soup’ season can feel messy, confusing, and uncomfortable—but it is holy space of transformation. Read how God uses the hidden place to heal, refine, and transform us.

Early this morning, around 4:00 a.m., I awakened with these words pressing on my heart: What You believe! It came quietly, but with weight. Not as a sermon. Not as a lesson to teach. More as a confirmation of what has been growing within. It has been a long time since the Holy Spirit has brought me a prose to write. By faith I began writing what I heard and what grew within me. Line by line, the thought became a beautiful prose — simple, direct, and anchored in Hebrews 11. No

Open Your Heart to Newness of Life & Freedom in God I love the gift of Sunday Mornings with Pamela Cone. It is an opportunity to minister to the Body of Christ all around the world, and I do not take that lightly—especially when we are blessed to have amazing guests like Jessi Johnson. Our conversation with Jessi was rooted in the goodness of God and salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ. While we provide space for guests to share their work and brands, Jessi's desire was t

In this portion of our conversation with Brother Jessi, we were talking about living a surrendered life. I wanted to encourage my brothers and sisters in that moment because, let’s face it, sometimes surrendering is Hard. I believe that, as God’s creation, we all have an instinctive draw toward Him in some way. We sense the pull, we sense the drawing, but we don’t always lean into it. There’s a reluctance. I want to encourage you to sit with that reluctance. Interrogate it.

I am in active pursuit of what God has pre-ordained for me. This is what Destiny Chasers™ do! There are seasons when you can feel and keenly discern that you are standing in a new place. The ground is unfamiliar, yet joy, hope, and faith tell you to enter — and prepare. The newness of the space is exciting and full of promise, but even there, doubt will try to creep into your thoughts, searching for a place to settle in your heart. This is the time when you pray. Times when y

Evangelist Dora M. Reed - MOM Mother’s Day was different this year for all the obvious reasons. My Mom is not here! It felt - Heavy! Quiet! Tender in places I could not fully explain! All week long, Facebook Memories reminded me of years past — visits with my mother, photographs we took together, little moments that once felt ordinary and now feel sacred. I found myself missing her in waves I could not adequately express. It hit me this past week - this is my first Mother’s D

Alignment is the foundation leaders stand on for sustainable impact! In business, leadership, and entrepreneurship, there is a consistent emphasis on building: building systems, building teams, building revenue, building influence and building impact. And while what we build matters, there is a deeper question that must be asked: Can what we are building be sustained? “Vanity of vanities… all is vanity.” (Ecclesiastes 1:2, KJV) The book of Ecclesiastes challenges us with a s

There are moments when forgiveness feels less like a choice… and more like an impossibility. Not because we don’t love God. Not because we don’t want to obey. But because something deeper has been touched. In those moments, we must be honest: Unforgiveness is not always rebellion—it is often unhealed pain . Unforgiveness Constricts the Heart Unforgiveness does not remain neutral. It constricts: Your emotional capacity Your spiritual sensitivity Your ability to fully receive

“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” - Psalm 118:24 There are moments when Scripture stops being something you read… and becomes something you live. This morning, I found myself praying through Psalm 118 again , and what once felt like scattered verses became a clear declaration of victory, alignment, and trust in the will of God. This Is the Day “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” - Psalm

Holy Week has just passed, and I find myself reflecting not just on what we celebrated, but on what we received through the finished work of the Cross of Calvary. As I prepared and shared during our Wisdom & Grace Winter/Spring, one question remained: What did the Cross bring to us? This was not a passing thought—it was a prompting of the Holy Spirit, calling me to be open to fully receive what the Cross has already made available. We have access to freedom. Many of us have e

A Women’s History Month Reflection The Bible, also known as the Biblical Canon, is both the inspired Word of God and a historical account. It records the history of the Children of Israel in the Old Testament and the birth and expansion of the Church in the New Testament. Within these sacred writings we see not only theology, prophecy, and instruction, but also the real lives of real people, their struggles, their suffering, their faith, and their redemption. Throughout this

Mutauro - A moral turning point or catalytic moment of change—a decisive shift in consciousness, direction, or action that alters the course of an individual, community, or history. A moment when language was taken, but rhythm returned. From my archives. Still speaking. Still true. — Dr. Pamela Cone Unapologetically Phenomenal There are moments in history when remembering becomes more than reflection, it becomes responsibility. In 1926, historian Carter G. Woodson established

Lord help me, allow me to redeem the time I have wasted Redeeming the Time! Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5: 16 -17 Not rushing the time. Not forcing the time. But redeeming it! As a Destiny Chaser, I am praying more intentionally now: “Father, let Your will be done on earth in my life as it is in heaven.” In my life! I want what is written! What has been predestined for me!

A Psalm 27 Reflection on Discernment, Protection, & Pursuing God’s Will There are moments when you can sense the enemy is near. Others may think you’re being oversensitive, but no, your discernment is heightened. Unlike animals, humans tend to disregard their God-given intuition to sense when a predator is near; even the ant, who has no ears, yet can sense danger approaching, survives. As Solomon suggests to us to consider the ant in Proverbs 6: 6 - 8, she has no leader, no g

Yesterday, I experienced a greater "apocalypse". A revelation, an unveiling, that broadened my understanding of what it means to be seated with Christ in heavenly places. And raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:6 I love these moments of enlightenment! God is calling me to a place of greater understanding of His Word so I can share with the world. - Jeremiah 1:5 First, allow me to share, the enemy attempted to ma

Critical Mass in the Spirit Realm is the point of no return, the space of undeniability, where what God has promised will no longer be delayed, denied, blocked, or hindered. Faith tells me that 2026 is my year of Breakthrough! As I walk in step with God's ordered steps for me, I will reach the intersection of God's Plans and My Obedience. I Have No Doubt that I am walking closer with each aligned step towards the time of its divinely appointed arrival. For everything there i

“Heaviness in the heart of man makes it stoop.” — Proverbs 12:25 When I returned home from caregiving for my mother and entered my season of bereavement, I was completely exhausted. My mind, body, and soul felt torn and bruised. I remember feeling stiff, as if I couldn’t move. My rhythm was gone. Even my posture reflected the heaviness in my heart. I felt as if I walked like I was leaning. Rest became my refuge. Long bubble baths and soft new pajamas, of which I ordered sever

Yesterday, my Bishop, Dr. Joseph White, taught a powerful message about the secret desires of “going back into the world.” He reminded us that these hidden longings to return to the old man, our former ways, thoughts, deeds, and desires, hinder us from moving forward in God. As he taught, I began to imagine an image of the inner battle between the spirit and the soul. The Holy Spirit lives within our human spirit. The Spirit moves on our hearts and minds, helping us to yield

September 15th marked a turning point in my life. My mother left this earthly realm and entered into eternity to be with our Heavenly...
