Merry Christmas! On this day, I have no words that can fully express the gratitude that swells up in my heart when I think of you. I may have met you before or may not have met you…yet… but know that I hold you in my heart and constantly pray for those prayers you present to the Lord everyday. He knows and He is working everything out in you, through you and for you.
In this episode, I teach on three points:
Cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit in a the world we live in today
Addressing the elephant in the rooms of our hearts that often stalls us and prevents us from advancing God’s work
Adopting the mindset that puts all other mindsets to shame
I wish you a Merry Christmas, enjoy the episode and lets rejoice in the Lord always. Until next time, choose to be, live, and stay FREE.

S6 EP97: Part 2 Don't Be Like a City Without Walls - Self-control [FOTS]
Saison 2 · Épisode 97
mercredi 11 décembre 2024 • Durée 48:32
The fruit of the spirit of self-control, like love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, are all matters of the heart. There is never a time where a believer is 100% good at loving others, 100% good at having joy, 100% good at living in peace etc… Cultivation is everyday intentional work. You may not be able to fully master self-control on this side of eternity but it is in your best interest as a child of God to start an intentional heart work.
Three thoughts from this episode:
It is not difficult to be self-controlled but it is difficult to deny self from our cravings, guilty pleasures, vices, desires, wants, gratifications. That is why we do not use behavior modification to address heart habits that take the gentle and constant illumination of the Word of God in our hearts. We cannot be in control of the work and expect the Holy Spirit to be in control. For there to be a mastering of this Fruit, we must allow the Spirit to take control and we obey, even when the obedience means temporary discomfort. Remember, the temporary discomfort shall yield permanent joy of the Lord.
Self-control is deeper and broader than willpower. Willpower can take you to the steps of the staircase but to climb the staircase with focus, precision, perseverance, you need self-control. Packed in that self-control will be patience, gentleness, humility, joy, and freedom. Go after self-control, and don’t give up until you have achieved this goal. It is pleasing to the Lord.
You cannot master self-control without releasing strongholds from your heart and mind. Where there is a yoke of slavery to sin, there is a lack of self-control. And we have all fallen short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came from Jesus Christ. Your heart is not perfect, it is not ok, it needs God everyday. Don’t let the devil deceive you.
Here are some coaching questions to ponder on about Self-control:
Do I believe that I can master self-control and be made perfect when I meet Jesus someday?
What are my ungodly habits, actions, thought patterns?
Which of the ways in cultivating self-control can I begin practicing more of?

S6 EP95: Mastering Gentleness Through Surrender - Gina Ospina [FOTS]
Saison 6 · Épisode 95
mercredi 4 décembre 2024 • Durée 01:04:32
This episode needed no introduction from me because we had to jump right into the topic at hand. Gentleness is needed in all types of relationships and Gina Ospina is THE godly woman chosen to deliver some wisdom to all our hearts.
Gina Ospina is a daughter of the Most High, wife of Rafael for 34 years and mother of Laura, Jackie and Gabby. Together with Rafael they provide leadership for the Marriage Ministry at Victory World Church at the Norcross Campus. She is passionate about biblical community and discipleship as well as equipping the saints for the work of the ministry. Her greatest joy is to spend quiet time in her sunroom, watching nature and the beauty of God’s creation as well as making and drinking a great latte. She enjoys cooking, reading and talking walks with her family and dogs.
So many golden nuggets, here are some highlights:
The ingredients for spirit-led gentleness include humility, patience and compassion.
Remember, God is God all by himself and it is best, in tough situations, to start from the premise that God is good.
Ask yourself “how do I glorify Jesus in this situation?”
Gentleness in its purest definition is “handling people with care, compassion and understanding”.
Cultivating gentleness is a command - we must “clothe ourselves” in it.
When you try to mold and change someone into something they are not, it can bend or break them.
Be gentle and kind with yourself and others.
Know the nemesis of your gentleness…
I am so happy that this episode is finally releasing after almost three months post recording. I pray Gina’s words encourage your heart in the season you are in and remember, healed people heal people so spread this healing wherever you go. Do it for the glory of God. Go and be gentle!
S6 EP94: The Art of Listening Well - Gentleness [FOTS]
Saison 6 · Épisode 94
mardi 26 novembre 2024 • Durée 01:02:38
Truth be told, without the help of the Holy Spirit, there would not be a CTLF podcast, a Godly Woman & Company ministry, a Daisie family, or even my last born child. I was a hot mess of a prideful angry woman out for vengeance... Gentleness is not being weak. Gentleness is your quiet strength packed with patience, humility, mercy, compassion, and a heart that sees the person before the sin, the mistake, the error.
Gentleness that comes from the Spirit produces a permanent state of being from the heart, meaning it is not fake. You are who you are at home and when with others. You are who you are in traffic and when with your children. When you get angry, you have a way of communicating your points without dehumanizing or belittling the person you are talking to.
Here are three thoughts from today's episode on Gentleness:
We can cultivate a heart of gentleness when we believe that being gentle is possible. If you desire this fruit, it is one that God will answer quickly. He will indeed put you in situations that would require your utmost ability to be gentle. Remember, developing a heart of gentleness is a daily work of art. Allow the potter to do his work.
A gentle person is humble and patient. A patient person is humble and gentle. A humble person is patient and gentle. Remember Jesus said he is humble and gentle, and if you are called to be like Jesus, and the seed of the fruit is in you, then the potential and possibilities are endless. Maybe, you have to change your view of who you think a gentle person is, just as I had to change my view. Once I did that, the journey of cultivating this heart habit wasn’t so bad.
Make it a practice to walk in step with the Holy Spirit, listening for those whispers and nudges. Make it a point to go at the pace of God. Make it a point to be obedient to any direction you receive as you embark on a journey to heal your heart from anger, pride etc. An inability to be gentle has roots in anger and pride; allow the Lord to step in and guide you to your FREEdom.

S6 EP93: The Morning After... Navigating Disappointing UncertainTimes
Saison 6 · Épisode 93
mercredi 6 novembre 2024 • Durée 18:31
On November 9th, 2016, I wrote a blog right after the presidential election that left most citizens shocked! You can read it here. What I wrote in 2016, still stands true today. That is how powerful and timeless the Word of God is, and I stand by those words even louder and firmer today. As you wake up to another morning after, I thought to send something your way to encourage your heart and mind.
Navigating through everyday life can often feel like walking a tightrope, balancing between comfort and the unknown. In light of current events, many people find themselves gripped by fear and concern about what lies ahead. While it’s natural to feel this way, turning uncertainty into an opportunity can significantly enhance your mindset and experiences. Let's explore simple yet effective strategies to find joy in the midst of life’s unpredictable moments.
S6 EP92: Practical Spiritual Friendships with Willkenia, Yolanda, Trena and Dionna
Saison 6 · Épisode 92
mercredi 30 octobre 2024 • Durée 01:03:58
I recently saw a YouTube video cover that stated that “adult friendships are hard” with the word “hard” typed in bold red colored fonts. It did exactly what it was intended for - it caught my attention. I smirked and scrolled past the video. Why? I did not want to feed my mind with more of the negativity bias that my natural mind already has worked so tirelessly to overcome. Adult friendships are what they are supposed to be “adult friendships”. Life is lifing, people are evolving and as they change, so would some relationships. The key is how both individuals navigate and mature through the seasons of change; this can possibly mean letting a good relationship go because of your upward mobility in the Kingdom or you’ve outgrown each other. Personally, I do not dwell on the “outgrowing “ phases or even the “seasons” phases; I just walk with those I call friends and remain loyal until there is a shift and a drift or a rift. In any of these three, I have had my share of mistakes in how I handled them but thank God for spiritual maturity. I have learned so much along the way, amidst hurt and betrayal, I still have an open heart for embracing people in my heart.
What does a faithful friend mean to you?
How do you show up in your friendships during difficult seasons?
How often do you pray for your friends?
Who in your life would you consider a friend, an associate, an assignment?
What is the difference between equally yoked friendships and unequally yoked friendships?
I sat down with my friends and the Executive team of this ministry for a great conversation on practical spiritual friendships: being a praying friend and not a preying friend. One draws your heart closer to Jesus in your communication and relating and the other is there to draw from you, drain you and if you are not careful or aware, compromise your holiness. So, enjoy this sisterly friendly conversation and remember healed people heal people, so go out into the world and heal someone today.
S6 EP91: Part 2 Our Journey to a Faithful Godly Marriage [Marvin and Johnette Davis] with James Daisie
Saison 3 · Épisode 91
mercredi 16 octobre 2024 • Durée 38:32
If you are married, listen up. If you are thinking about or desire marriage someday, listen up. If you just love learning from those who have gone ahead of you and have some wisdom to share, then listen up. I invited my ‘Hubstar’ and best friend James Daisie of 15 years married, 22 years of friendship AND our good friends Marvin and Johnette Davis, married almost 20 years to join us for a great conversation on the Fruit of the Spirit Faithfulness. Particularly, our marriage journeys to faithfulness. The recording was so good and the conversation was so rich, it is two parts so make sure you listen to both parts or watch it on YouTube.
A bit about Marvin and Johnette: Marvin and Johnette Davis have 4 beautiful children, Sakiya, Marvin Jr., Micah and Micaiah.
Their relationship began after meeting in Tampa, Florida on the University of South Florida’s campus at the end of 2002. After quickly becoming friends, they knew their prayer that the “next person in their life will be their spouse”was quickly becoming a very possible reality. Marvin had a daughter Sakiya, who was almost 2 years old and Johnette happily accepted her as her own. A year later they welcomed Marvin II, while still in college, working and trying to make ends meet for two children, Marvin Sr. felt compelled to end his basketball career to work full time to take care of his responsibilities. They both felt they were created for each other and couldn’t imagine their lives apart! So at the ages of 21 and 23 they did what most young couples in love would do, got married!
Newlyweds, two children under 4 years old, blended and no pre-marriage counseling, the beginning of their marriage was new, exciting, rewarding and often frustrating. Without much guidance or counsel, they loved the only way they knew how! Two broken people from two different worlds came together to do this thing called life and what an adventure it has been. Years of being unbalanced spiritually, physically and emotionally led to infidelity, mistrust, identity issues, confusion, pride and insecurities.
In 2017 as God was healing and restoring, they began their marriage ministry to teach others how to do marriage God’s way! Through their brokenness, God has allowed them to build a family legacy that will help others build the firm foundation needed for generational impact. They are now doing marriage and living God's way on his solid unshakable foundation, and walking out their purpose to empower and equip others to do the same for his glory!

Their desire is to equip couples and their families with the foundational tools to be successful as an individual, a child of God, a spouse, parent, sibling and friend.
Here are some wise nuggets from my conversation with my ‘Hubstar’ James, and our friends Marvin and Johnette:
Know and have a vision for your marriage.
Pray for your future spouse as you desire marriage.
When difficulties arise in marriage, you don’t give up on the person.
You can know the concept of faithfulness and not the practice of faithfulness.
The fruit of faithfulness comes with accountability to an authority.
Being faithful is also learning how to pursue with a heart of love.
The opposite of faithfulness is selfishness.
To cultivate faithfulness, get closer to the Lord through His Word, get excited about who He is, not just the blessings He gives, and give access to receive accountability.
Unforgiveness is selfishness, forgiveness is a requirement of faithfulness.
Unhealed, undealt trauma shows up in our lives everyday.
Believe that God can teach you how to be faithful.
Trauma that is untreated is transferred.
Have a holy fear of God enough to work on your heart so you can cultivate His character of faithfulness.
Let your whole life - marriage, work, relationships glorify your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
These nuggets and more is why Godly Woman & Company Ministries exist. Through your testimony, others can have hope to live and thrive. Johnette and Marvin of Safe Haven, Building Strong Families have a mission to build and enrich marriages and families. Whether you need support or a couple you know, whether you are a blended family or newlywed, a godly biblical counsel works, and heals permanently. Me and my husband, Marvin and Johnette, we did the work God’s way. Speak the Truth to the lie because, the devil is a trickster and an accuser of the brethren, you are a conqueror, an Overcomer!
