IS YOUR BRAIN TOO LOUD TO HEAR GOD?

-

 


What if the loudest voice keeping you from hearing God is your own?

Your brain can replay yesterday's mistakes, imagine tomorrow's disasters, and fill today with unnecessary worry.

But here's something extraordinary: God created that brain!

Romans 12:2 calls us to be “transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

Not just on Sunday. Every day!

In my first book, From the Gutter to the Kingdom, I share my journey from brokenness to purpose.

And here's a powerful truth:

You can leave the gutter physically and still carry yesterday's thinking into tomorrow.

When I say, “Turn off your brain and listen to God,” I mean quiet the fear, silence the distractions, and make room for His wisdom.

God gave you a brain to use—not a throne for fear to occupy.

WHEN SECRETS SPEAK

-

  That lyric from The Romantics—“I hear the secrets that you keep / When you’re talking in your sleep”—captures a deeply human paradox: that no matter how hard we try to lock parts of ourselves away, some truths find a way to escape. Most of us carry secrets. Some are small, like unspoken crushes or childhood embarrassments; others are heavier—past mistakes, regrets, hidden fears, or wounds we can’t quite name. We learn to tuck them away during the day, behind carefully chosen words and polite smiles. But when we sleep, our defenses drop. The mind drifts, and what we thought we had buried might rise to the surface, whispered into the darkness. But why do we keep secrets at all? And what do they really do to us? 🧠 Why We Bury the Truth We keep secrets to protect ourselves: from shame, judgment, rejection, or pain. Sometimes we hide them to protect others. Sometimes because speaking them aloud would force us to face something we’re not ready to confront. Yet while secrets feel safe ...

ONE WORD

  Have you ever felt like you're at the end of your rope, with no clear direction or hope in sight? Life has a way of leading us into moments where we feel overwhelmed, confused, and desperate for answers. It’s in these moments, when everything seems uncertain, that one word from God can change everything. The Bible is filled with instances where God spoke a single word that altered the course of history, shifted destinies, and brought life where there was death. Whether it's “Go,” “Come,” “Peace,” or “Live,” God’s words carry immeasurable power and purpose. The Power of a Word Consider the story of creation in Genesis. God spoke, and the universe came into existence. “Let there be light,” He said, and light pierced through the darkness. That’s the transformative power of God's word—what didn’t exist before suddenly springs to life. In our own lives, we might find ourselves surrounded by darkness—whether it’s the darkness of uncertainty, fear, or despair. But one word from ...

IS YOUR FAITH BEING FED OR JUST FLUFFED?

  There’s a subtle danger creeping into the Church today—a danger so well-packaged that most believers don’t even recognize it until they feel the emptiness in their souls. It’s not a loud warning, and it doesn’t announce itself with fanfare. Yet its effects are real, lasting, and sometimes devastating. I’m talking about teaching that appeals to the flesh rather than the spirit. Teaching that soothes the senses, strokes the ego, and entertains the mind—but never transforms the soul. This post isn’t meant to condemn anyone. It’s meant to wake you up. To stir the depths of your spirit. To ask the uncomfortable questions: Are you being fed the Word of God, or are you just being fluffed with messages that feel good but change nothing? The Temptation of the Flesh in Modern Teaching The flesh is persuasive. It wants comfort, it wants recognition, it wants pleasure, and it wants it now. And so, in today’s culture of instant gratification, it’s no wonder that some teachings lean into i...
