For nearly five decades, my husband and I have served in various Christian ministry roles while also working secular jobs. Our ministry experience spans many areas: pastoral ministry, community & inner-city outreaches, jail ministry, food pantry organization, home fellowships, praise & worship, & prayer ministry.

In 2019, Retirement opened a new chapter for us. Then, two years ago, we launched Truth Be Told, which has grown into a platform for Bible study, guest discussions, personal testimonies, & Music with a Message, where modern technology has helped us breathe new life into songs & poetry from years past.

The methods & platform have changed, but our purpose remains the same: to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, teach God’s Word, encourage believers, share meaningful stories, and serve the Body of Christ wherever He opens the door through the gifts & resources He blessed us with.

We do not monetize our channel at the direction of the Lord, but we do support others who do.

Truth Be Told!

God’s kingdom is not of this earth… so let HIS freedom reign!

Man needs to get off the throne and let Jesus reign!

God‘s kingdom and will in the Earth has nothing to do with “Dominionism”, a “seven Mountain mandate” or “ casting down principalities and powers to take a city”.

It has everything to do with making Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, and taking up your cross and following Him.

It has everything to do with preaching the gospel and making disciples for Jesus Christ.

It has everything to do with going into all the world with the “good news” of Jesus Christ.

It has everything to do with denying yourself and picking up your cross and following HIM.

Let’s STOP with the wonky doctrines and stop believing the lie of Dominion NOW!

We Will rule in reign with JESUS when HE comes back as THE FINAL judge!

In the meantime, the thing we need to take Dominion over is our own flesh so we can hear HIS voice and do HIS will.

There’s only ONE KING in the kingdom of Heaven, now and later, and His name is Jesus.

We are not little kings; rather we are a kingdom of priests built up together as a spiritual house to offer spiritual sacrifices to our God, which by the way, is a broken and contrite spirit. It is only with an attitude of brokenness and submission to HIM that we can walk in obedience to HIS great commission .

The Greek word Jesus uses in “Thy kingdom come” (Matthew 6:10) is — basileia-Pronounced: bah-see-LAY-ah

It means kingdom, kingship, royal rule, reign, sovereignty, dominion.

The important point is that basileia doesn’t primarily mean a place or territory. It emphasizes the rule or reign of a king.

So when Jesus prayed:

“Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” what he was saying was…

“Father, let Your rule and reign come—let Your will be accomplished here on earth as it is in heaven.”

That’s why Jesus could speak of the Kingdom as both already present in His ministry (Luke 11:20) and something believers still await in its future fullness (Matthew 26:29).

So in three words:

Basileia = God’s reign- not “ours”

So take your crown off your head and throw it at the feet of Jesus.

He’ll give you a crown of righteousness later-when you reach your final destination 👑

There you have it. I said it for free -as one little voice in the desert. If you want to share it, you can. Amen🙏🏼

Here I am Lord...send me!!!

That sounds so spiritual-so dynamic-so awe inspiring. BUT are we willing to SPEAK up for HIM? Are we willing to speak the truth in love even if it means people may misunderstand or reject you? Are we really willing to DO what HE says to do even if it means sacrificing our time, pride, effort and wills? Are we really willing to GO where HE SENDS us? It's usually never at a convenient time either; sometimes a very unpleasant place too.

What if if it's a jail cell, a hospital room, to go help a next door neighbor, minister at a homeless shelter, give an offering for a needy child, talk to and minister to a beggar on the sidewalk, start a blog/ YouTube Channel? What if He doesn't send you to a PULPIT? Would you still serve Him for free?

"And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” And he said, “Go, and say to this people...

The Foibles of Familiarity

Not everyone needs to have access to the innermost places of our lives—whether we are ministers or simply navigating friendships. Healthy relationships require wisdom and appropriate boundaries.

Familiarity can sometimes change the way people see one another. The closer we become, the more likely we are to see each other's humanity—our weaknesses, personality quirks, faults, and imperfections. None of us is exempt from them.
Sometimes we can unintentionally idealize or romanticize people, particularly those we respect in ministry. We develop an image of what we think a minister, leader, or even a close friend should look like. Then, when that person disappoints us, disagrees with us, or does something we find offensive, our admiration can quickly turn into disillusionment—and sometimes even rejection.

Maturity allows us to see people realistically rather than idealistically. We can recognize someone's imperfections without discarding the entire relationship because they failed to meet an expectation we placed upon them.

This is one reason wisdom and discernment are necessary when determining who we allow into our closest circles. We can love people, serve people, minister to people, and value people without giving everyone the same degree of access to our personal lives.

Love can be extended to everyone. Intimacy and trust, however, are developed over time and trust can be broken easily. Therefore, it takes time to rebuild it.

Truth Be Told!

Pixie Dust Christianity or Discipleship?

The word of God became flesh, and we beheld His glory. (John 1). God‘s word must become flesh in us too so that others can see Christ in the earth so that no flesh should glory in His presence.

We can’t treat God‘s word like pixie dust or a magic formula that we pray it or say it and bam it happens - just like that. 🫰🏼

There’s a process of the word becoming flesh in us as His Ambassadors. Without the word of God becoming flesh in us, “Church” can look like a magic show or a circus. Sadly that’s how it’s being portrayed by some today. 
Anything that’s living will grow. It will have a healthy root system and produce healthy fruit. But once the root system becomes corrupted or branches get detached from the vine, it stops growing and the branches will wither and die.

But if you are truly in Christ you never stop growing. We never stop needing to be sanctified or changed in an area(s). Over and over again the Lord is faithful to complete the work He begins in us in prune back, dead branches that come out of our flesh. As such, there are no shortcuts to discipleship and spiritual maturity. 

Here’s a simple but profound four step process that I believe the Lord has taught me over the years. I am still a work in progress. This is for me too. 

Abiding in the Vine-Growing in God‘s word (John 15)

1. Ingest it-read it.
2. Digest it-meditate on it and STUDY the Word.
3. Test it-live it and walk it out even when it’s hard. Don’t let the word just stay in your head as “knowledge”. Let it get in your heart and live it out loud.  This is where the proverbial “rubber meets the road.”
4. Manifest it-your spiritual healthand life will reflect how much of the word of God has become part of who you are.

That was free! You’re welcome!🙏🏼✝️😉😍
