  Welcome to Real Talk for Real Life, realizing everyone is always learning and
• 0:07
  living your full experience.

  This is where we live out loud, on purpose and with purpose.

  I'm Coach C, your host, and this is Season 1, Episode 5, Private Prayers Turned into Public Power.
• 0:26
  This episode right here, this one is personal. Because I'm a woman of faith,
• 0:31
  I always say I'm endorsed by the greatest, God himself.
• 0:36
  And let me tell you something. People will see your life and call it luck. They'll call it timing.
• 0:43
  They'll call it favor without understanding the foundation.
• 0:47
  But what they don't see is the private place.
• 0:51
  The prayers you prayed when nobody was watching. the tears you cry that never
• 0:56
  made it to social media, the moments you hit your knees because you didn't have another option.
• 1:03
  See, prayer isn't just something I do. It's who I am.
• 1:07
  I believe prayer, number one, preserves you.
• 1:13
  Number two, prevents things you never saw coming. Number three,
• 1:18
  propels you forward Number four, protects you when you're vulnerable,
• 1:25
  And number five, it prospers you in ways people can't explain.
• 1:31
  There's a song by Erica and Tina Campbell, It's the God in Me.
• 1:36
  And there's a line that says, but what they don't know is when you go home and
• 1:41
  get behind closed doors, you hit the floor.
• 1:44
  And what they can't see is when you're on your knees.
• 1:48
  That part right there, because people will celebrate your strength,
• 1:52
  but they didn't witness your surrender.
• 1:55
  They'll applaud your confidence, but they didn't see you crying out for clarity.
• 2:01
  They'll admire your discipline, but they don't know how many times you had to pray just to keep going.
• 2:09
  Let me be clear. There is no public power without private prayer.
• 2:14
  What shows up in your life publicly is a direct reflection of what you build
• 2:21
  spiritually, privately.
• 2:23
  So if you're in a season where things feel uncertain, you don't have all the
• 2:30
  answers, you're trying to hold it together, I'm not telling you to perform. I'm telling you to pray.
• 2:37
  Not the cute, quick, surface-level kind.
• 2:41
  I'm talking about the kind of prayer that breaks you open, rebuilds you stronger,
• 2:47
  and reminds you who you are connected to.
• 2:51
  Because when it's really the God in you, you don't have to force anything.
• 2:57
  You don't have to explain everything and you definitely don't have to prove anything.
• 3:04
  It will show.
• 3:06
  And the next time someone asks you how you made it through, don't overthink it.
• 3:12
  Just tell them, it's the God in me.
• 3:15
  Here's your fearless homework. This week, I want you to get intentional about your private space.
• 3:22
  Number one, create your prayer moment daily.
• 3:26
  No distractions, no performance, just you and God. Number two.
• 3:34
  Write down one thing you're trusting God with. Be honest.
• 3:38
  Be real. Be specific.
• 3:43
  Number three, reflect at the end of the week.
• 3:47
  What shifted in you? What felt lighter?
• 3:51
  What became clearer? Because the goal isn't just to pray. is to become someone
• 3:59
  who lives from the power of those prayers. This is Coach C.
• 4:05
  I'll see you in the next episode. And remember, we're not just talking about it.
• 4:11
  We're living it. Because over here, we live out loud, on purpose,
• 4:17
  and with purpose. I'll catch you in the next one.
