Send us a text We have all heard the scripture... Obedience is better than sacrifice. 1 Samuel 15:22 It is true. Our obedience to God causes us to experience the best that He has to provide us. What happens that causes us not to obey what God wants? We don't follow his instructions and believe that we should get the next steps from God to have the life that we desire. We have to be obedient. God speaks to us through our reading his word, listening to messages, and praying to God. ...

Send us a text In the midst of all the noise, I wanted to take some time out to celebrate life. We have so many things going on in this world that it is important for us to take the time to remember what is important and relevant in our lives. My dad would have been 82 this year. One of my dear friends lost her son in a car accident. Time continues to move along, and this life is really a vapor. We need to take the time to remember what is important...including who is important. I want to b...

Send us a text Hi there! I'm back and sharing another episode about the resilience that continues to be created in my life. I recently had another surgery. I had the hardware removed from my leg—that's right, the same leg where my tibia was broken and healed. In the midst of another surgery, I had to come to terms with my faith and the power of the wisdom I have to believe that God trusts me with this experience. God trusts that I can handle it. This is the 13th surgery that I have had in the...

Send us a text A small correction to my granddaughters turned into an anthem for our lives. We have to decide to use our power for good. We are all created for a purpose. That purpose is to be an example for others and live authentically. I am teaching those around me that compromising is not an option. Take a listen and decide what we can do to remain true to who we are created to be and how we can be the light in the midst of confusion. Ask Sophie or Maliah—they will be happy to...

Send us a text When someone dies, it affects all of us who know the person. Sometimes we are affected even if we do not know the person. I grew up with The Cosby Show as a staple in our Thursday night routine. I was touched and moved by the death of actor Malcolm Jamal Warner. I did not know Malcolm, nor did he know me. I was touched because of the admiration and talent that he had that made me believe that he could be a friend, cousin, or relative. This death was sad. Sad because of the pote...

Send us a text I love words! I love phrases! Many times we don't know the origin of what we are saying. I have heard many phrases that people attribute to the Bible that were never found there. It is amazing how we can take a phrase or myth and share it as if it were truth. In this episode, we talk about the power of our words and what we are saying. The goal is to remember the power that you have in what you speak about relating to your story! Did you read that...? You have the power to talk...

Send us a text HI, I'm back! I missed you! I believe that our resilience is an ongoing asset, a growing and shaping that becomes the resolve to help you go from situation to situation. I can't say it loud enough. OUR STORY MATTERS! Your story matters!!! We need to take a look at the details of our story. Take a look at what our answer is when we talk about purpose and look at what we are called to do with this life. My goal is to hear God's voice louder than I hear anything going on in ...

Send us a text Hi Friends! This episode is a reminder that you feelings have nothing to do with it! Your emotions would love to control all the situations and circumstances around us. We can’t! What we can do is pinpoint where we are and understand that we can control what we believe. Take a listen and let me know what you think. Let me hear from you… Terrilyn@terrilynminnifield.com Thanks for listening! If you enjoyed this podcast, the best compliment is a referral. Share with others and w...

Send us a text I have more friends that I have ever had in my life. I believe that I have learned how to become a friend and that is what is making my friendships full of love and respect. Recently, I supported my friends as they found the courage to make changes in their life. These changes are life changes that affect their sphere of influence. I have learned that my resilience or wisdom has taught me to never judge others and know that my intent to understand - is just that intent. T...

Send us a text I am excited to share my failure with you! This may sound funny - but I am falling in love with the opportunity to fail so that I can achieve success! This episode is about the process I learned as I continue to work on my YouTube channel. The process has taken me out a few times. I have NO idea what I am doing and I don’t know the particulars that will make it a consistent part of my platform. This episode is a reminder of how I don’t have to fail with God. I have been intenti...

Send us a text Welcome back to another episode talking about resilience. Today we are going to be talking about being on the Receiving Side. As a believer, we believe in a God that was so giving that He gave us His son so that we could have a life more abundant. We are able to receive all that Jesus did for us when He died and rose again to reconcile us to the original plan for our lives. We need to stay on the receiving side in the midst of the executive orders, presidential election and all...

Send us a text Happy New Year! I am excited for 2025! I hope that you are as well. I am tired of hearing about New Tear's Resolutions. It is time that we think of the reason why we do what we do. It is time for us to clarify our "why" and focus on the intention of our hearts. Listen in for my welcome to the new year. Let's celebrate together and grow from faith to faith with the right intentions. Please check out my website, www.TerrilynMinnifield.com, and reach out at Terrilyn@TerrilynMinnif...

Send us a text Merry Christmas! I have to admit that the holiday season has been a little rough for me this year. My dad transitioned to Heaven 4 months ago, and my brother left 4 years ago. It is hard to put into words how I feel this season. I have learned that grief does not wait for you to get it together. Grief uses any opportunity available to remind you what you are missing at all family gatherings. I had a family event recently that allowed me to visit my nephew. He shared the best in...

Send us a text What does Victory look like to you? As believers, we believe that Jesus died for us to have life more abundantly. Are you living an abundant life? I have been researching and looking at how I approach the goals in my life and I found that my emotions will tell the story of what I believe. I think we should examine what we are doing for ourselves, for those we love and for those that we influence. Let's be the example of knowing what victory means to us. Please check out...

Send us a text Well, the election is over. The time to talk about hope is now. Either you are excited about your candidate winning or you are in anguish over the results. We all have to begin again. I asked Phreddie to fill in for me this week. I love the details of his chat on this episode. You can find your way to hope, especially if you are not looking to yourself as the solution. Listen in to my favorite pastor and let me know if you would add anything to the conversation. Stay exci...

Send us a text Are you insecure? Have you been told that you are insecure and that you don't have what it takes to get things done? I have been working hard to overcome the idea of being insecure as I work on the "next level". I mentioned in the last episode that it was time to reach a new level in the podcast and all that I will be doing for God. As I researched and began to work on next steps, I have been having a hard time with videotaping and my image. I did some work on my past and found...

This includes physical, emotional, and mental boundaries that help you stay balanced in your well-being.

The best suggestion that I can give you is to create the time and space needed to do what you need to do. Boundaries are not negative - but necessary to c...
