  Speaker 1: The way. I didn't know.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: So I was watching one of the interviews that you
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: did recently with Mom's kitchen, not then then probably put
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: in the kitchen. I mean it's in the house though.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: So you said that you had dreads. I've never seen
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: your hair like, only had them for like one year.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: You couldn't do it anymore.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: We'll see what had happened was because you know, I
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: wasn't necessarily free back then, so but I was deep,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: let's let's talk about it. So when I got and
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: me and Chance got engaged, and we're very young, and
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: so you know, Choice was our flyer girl in the wedding.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: So I said, well, I can't give you my virginity
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: on our wedding night. And Chance had locks very long,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: and so I said, oh, what I'm gonna do is
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: on January first, I'm gonna lock my hair and I'm
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: gonna wrap it and keep it covered, and no one
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: will see it until after our wedding on our honeymoon
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: that night, you'll be the first one to see my locks.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: So that's why I locked my hair. And so then
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: after we got married and he saw it, then other
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: people got to see it. But I wore a hair
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: wrap every day from January first to April nineteenth in
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: two thousand and three. And so then I was starting
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: to act again in Greensboroill Carolina, and my agent I
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: would go to auditions all the time with my little locks. Yeah,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: and she was like, no one wants to see a
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: black woman with locks on TV. So it took me
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: about two or three days and I stripped them out.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Stripped them out after like ten months of having them.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, you called them out. It's about three days
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I've had.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I got a friend that had her for ten years
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: and she had just combed hers out, baby long long.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: There's so much of the hair, yeah, I mean it
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: wasn't the healthiest. Yeah, you know you have to cut some.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Of it off.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that's why I got rid of them, man,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: because I listened to with my agent, with your agent,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: do you think you will get them again? You know what,

  Speaker 2: I just it wasn't even a bunch of interviews at
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: that point. But I had just watched the most recent
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: book tour you did, and then I was Terrell came.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: It was like right after it was doing his own thing,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: you know, the algorithm Algorithm, and the first clip was
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: of you saying, you know you want to live your dream,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: so go ahead and pack up your stuff. Not verbatim,

• 9:27
  Speaker 2: But this don't mean to leave my job. I mean,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: thank you, Misstail, but I still got bills to pay,

• 9:34
  Speaker 2: so many people were telling me, oh, you've get up
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: out of here, and I said, God, I need a
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: sign and I need to be I need to be
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: clear on what's going on.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I turned it on their.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: TV and why Auntie Tail tell me I had to
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: leave my job, but she didn't know she was telling
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: me it. So, yeah, you put a strong did you job?
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I left? So I'm like, yeah, so I left.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I was making about six figures at this job as
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: a branch manager. I work from home now just to
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: make ends meet. But no, he's making me very uncomfortable
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: with saying you need to, you need to, but you're
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: not sitting inside of nobody's office every day. Nope, because
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: you can't be creative that way, right, Yeah right, I
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: created spirit in the middle of the week with you.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: That's the blessing. Yeah, so thank you for that. Thank
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: you for your positivity. Have you always been telling folks,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: you know, stuff like get out their jobs and.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Stuff, you.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Know what?
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I have.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I've been a big dreamer my whole life, even even
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: in my stages of like not being completely free, my
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: spirit has always been like, I know there's more than this.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Every time I ever had a nine to five, I
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: knew it was temporary. Like I always knew like I
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: ain't gonna be here long. I'm gonna just be here
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: for the moment, like I got me here for a reason,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: whether it's to like have a baby and be able
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: to afford to do it, have insurance by house, whatever
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: the case is, I know it's temporary. And I've just
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: always been a firm believer in like playing A gonna work,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: and that plan A is what God put inside of us,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Like that thing that just grows and keeps you up
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: at night and pushes you and silently whispers in your
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: ear like it's gonna work that is there for a reason,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: and so yeah, I've always been like that.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: So I'm glad you brought that up because I am
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: curious to know.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: While you were in that space of Okay, I know
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: something's gonna happen, but you weren't there yet, what do you.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Hold on too?
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Because I'm like, I know a lot of us, especially
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: especially us as creators, like it's harder to be consistent
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: because for one, we feel like everybody doing the same thing,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: or there's no space or in any room for us,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: which could have been your story if you had to
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: just stayed standing in and out obey God, how do
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: you remain hopeful or balance or honor a place that
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: you're currently in while seeking out the promise? You know,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: nobody lives your life, only you live your exact life, right,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: and so in your waiting season, we're supposed to live
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: our life because that's what builds our character, that's what
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: we become creatives from. Because I can't tell my story
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: trying to compare it to yours. So if I got
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: to be present in whatever's going on, that's what I
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: focus on, Like, Okay, God got me going through this
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: for a reason. I might not understand it right now,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: but later on this is gonna mean something. This is
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: my story to tell, right, And so that on top
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: of like the thing that lives inside of me, of
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: like knowing something else is coming. But right now, I'm
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: supposed to live in this moment and just be present,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: and one day I'll be able to share my story,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: which I have been able to do and freely at that,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Like you come on listen, you really like you live
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: like really fearless and I love that.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Oh I want I'm gonna bring this up now.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I'm probably like so excited to find this out. So
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: with you being able to be yourself, it has produced
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: favor in so many spaces like this Clover deal.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Oh she's the first. What you mean you made the
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: dog space for me?
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: How did you learn to embrace yourself to the point
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: where people build basically build things for you on your behalf? Uh?
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: I think I got tired of pretending, right, I got
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: tired of trying to fit in. I got tired of
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: pretending to be somebody that was not, and I just
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: surrendered and I said, Okay, God, be who you created.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Me to be.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: And I think the obedience to trust him and show
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: up as who he created. You get rewarded for that,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: and I feel like that allows you to embrace it
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: even Moreau's like, oh God, this is all you had
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: needed for me, what was to be who you created
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: me to be. That's all you were waiting for to
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: give me the life I have. Now every day I
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: show up even more from him, Like I just keep
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: on embracing me and know like, Okay, this is what
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: he has called me to do and be. Yeah. So
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: it's easy to do once you realize like, oh, he
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: honors your your sacrifice to him, right, And so that's
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: that's how I grow. Now. I thank you for that,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: because there's something Desiray and I like talk about and
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: just me personally, I'm about to just that's what we
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: do here, just as I always be. I always put
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: myself on this sacrificial boards, like let me just be
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: honest with y'all.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Let ya know. The confidence.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: In knowing who I am and that I am in
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: the right space, right, the confidence in saying that I'm
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: enough and I'm the solution to whatever problem it may
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: be I haven't been yet, right. I think that's a
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: struggle of mind as being. That's probably my primary struggle
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: as being a creative. I look at oh, this podcast
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: is doing this or this is the conversation and literally
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the Lord this whole week preparing just getting it.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I was like, God, I can't, I can't overly focused
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: on this.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I gotta I gotta record with these other people first,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: and then I gotta get the Mistaelle because I become
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: anxious over just the.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Idea of being perfect. Will I be accepted? Will I
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: be enough?
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: And with you saying that, it's just like this is
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: so good, almost spoken to one girl. You are know
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: what happened with when you honor the Lord with who
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: you are, That's when the blessings show up. That's what
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: I just heard you say. Yeah, so good, it's so
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: good where you got over there? Yeah?
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Man, already trying to put my hat back on.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: It's starting to slide back. You know, it's good. I
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: feel I feel no, I feel the noois to like
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: just rise it a little bit. Speaking of the annoying,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I know that. I think it was in your first
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: book where you talk about your gift and you let
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: me made known how what what mindset were you in?
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Because I know a lot of people don't understand what
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: we know as the prophetic and how that operates. You
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: literally told the world that how what place were you
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: in with God when you and you decided to announce
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: that to the world. I was in, you know, because
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: that was twenty twenty when I began to write that book,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: and I was in a new season of an overflow. Wait,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: hold up, I'm sorry you just said somebody never heard
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: before you were in a new season of overflows like
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: you've been You've already experienced overflow, and now there's a
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: new wave of overflow.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: No, like this was yeah.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Because I my first time I feel like I experienced
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: the overflow was when my first video, you know, went
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: viral when I first surrendered my life, which was like
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, and for two years I was
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: just booked and busy, and it was like, oh wow,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: things are happening, I'm making money. I'm like, it was
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: an amazing overflow, but in twenty twenty, it was a
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: supernatural overflow, Like this was more than what I could
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: have ever imagined. And in prayer, God said, as I
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: started to write this book, he said, I want you
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: to make sure you don't leave anything to be discovered
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: about who I created you to be because a lot
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: I had gained.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: So I mean I had gained.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: You got to think in March of twenty twenties, when
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I got on TikTok, I already had like Facebook and Instagram.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I had like five hundred thousand followers on Facebook and
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: I had like two hundred thousand on Instagram. But I
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: had grown over the last two years. But in twenty
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: twenty March, in the thirty days I had a million
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: followers on TikTok after getting on there, and the next
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: week I had two million, and it just kept growing.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: So we're talking millions in like a matter of six weeks.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: And he was like, you have to reintroduce yourself in
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: this book, and you can't be shy about who I
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: created you to be.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: So started off.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: That's why in the very beginning of the book is
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: when I disclosed my gift, because I wanted to make
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: sure that people who follow me knew that this is
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: who I am, and you can make a choice whether
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: you want to ride with me or not.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna put it in these first couple of pages,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: this who Tabby is no secrets, Ain't no secrets.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: And if you think that that ain't how you like
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: to get down, maybe you can close the book and
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: you could also take it back right she said, you
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: gonna get a refunded again, because also, like, I know
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: where my help comes from. So I was all right
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: with that, but I had to be completely honest about
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: this is who I am, and this is why I
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: wake up in the middle of the night and sometimes
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: do videos because skuy wakes me up with a word,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: and I just wanted to be free of that. I
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: didn't want to leave it to somebody else to say
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: it one day, because I mean, I've given many.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: People words right quietly, like in confidence.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Some people have shared that publicly, and then you know,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: people try to turn it around and be like, oh,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: she's a witch or whatever because they don't know. Okay,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you said that, because you know what, I
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: don't appreciate. What I don't appreciate. I'm gonna say it
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: because untietail that I don't appreciate, y'all, collinghole witch. That's
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: not like, that's not what witch a witch does, Okay,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: that is not what she is. She is a woman
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: who guy, she's a daughter the king and a child
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: the most high and that's what she is.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: And they attached that video.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: I posted the video when you told me just basically
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: thank me at the end of the tour or the show,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: and on it it says Tabitha Brown witch cramp.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: And I just every time I see I rebuke it.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I just in a name Jesus rebuke it because those
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: are so lies, like lies lies, because if she was
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: a witch, I would not be here.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: The Lord loved me too much. Come on, I'm just
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: gonna be.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Like, because you can try, you can try with somebody else.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: But and I think that it's something about you being
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: able to say that, but it's so much grace to it,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Like how do you how do you maintain your mental
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: when so many lies and accusations come against you, when
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: you're just trying to live well? For God, I know
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: my truth, right, I know who I am, and I
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: can't spend time trying to make somebody else believe it.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I know who I am. Like that ain't my job
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: to make you believe me?
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Right? My job is to live my life wholly completely
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: and for Him, not for you, not for you, but
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: for Him, and be a witness, like be a vessel
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: like I'm a walking testimony share my life in the
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: way that He has told me to share it. But
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I can't try to convince you, like y'all for real,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: for real, y'all like a little child that ain't like
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: if y'all think that about me, baby, that ain't my business.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: But also what it does, it does hurt my heart
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: because I realize how many people are lost, and how
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: many people don't know God's goodness come on, and how
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: many people don't have Him as their Lord and savior.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Right, And so my thought is like, God, please.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Have mercy on them, for they know not what they do, like,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: give them grace and I still love them.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: I've had people I've been on tour for years, and
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: I've had atheists come up to me at my show
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: and say, I came with a friend that dragged me here.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: I don't believe. I have never ever believed in God
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: my whole entire life. But I want to know the
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: God you be talking about. That's my purpose.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Somebody who said she was like, I wish my grandmother
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: was still alive because she would be so happy that
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: I encountered you. That's what I'm supposed to do.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I can't.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I can't tell you the time, the day, the hour,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: But what I know is I'm gonna show up every
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: day and if I can touch one.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Person, I've done my job, done your job.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: And that's all that's that's all I can do. But
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: I can't be out here trying to force nothing on nobody.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: I simply just share and my prayers always God, let
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: them see your light and me, not me, so I
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: cannot be denied.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Right, it's people to be like, gir, i'd be watching videos.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know why I can't start watching the videos
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: because my prayer before I do every video it's God,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: let them see you and me, so they cannot deny me.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: So people be investors, be like, we don't know how
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: we got into It ain't cap right, it ain't it ain't.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: It ain't nothing I've done. I've just showed up. But
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: when you have God as the sense, come on, you
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: can't deny him. You don't even know why you're doing stuff. Listen,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: that's how I get my husband some time.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: He'd be like.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: They and the wife cares a favor, okay, But seriously,
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: it's just like that, I know who I am and
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: I know whose I am, and he cannot be denied.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: So I love that you said that because Desiray and
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I talk about this all the time and that kingdom
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: matters look different, like my assignment is gonna look different
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: from your assignment, right, And I think like you just
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: kind of confirmed for me personally why the Lord allowed
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: me to counter encounter you. You did something at this
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: show that almost took off renting it. You start prophisying
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: to the young man about his him being at Hollywood
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: or something like that, or he was running away from
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: his dream, and you don't I.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Don't know what a young man.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: If you if you're somewhere, make sure you come in
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: so we can know where you're at. But after the prophecy,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: but when you did, I knew what it was. Some
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: people might not known in the audience, but I knew
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: what it was. I said, Oh, she's she done saw
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: something on this guy, and the Lord allowed her to
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: release it. I think that when we are we do
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: the Lord a disservice when we close him with our
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: closed mindsets and say, well, the only where the only
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: place that the Lord can show up is in church
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: or the only place the Lord can be be glorified
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: or the only way a prophet can show up is
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: at the church or.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: You know, on the street corner.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: You know, no, no, you ain't spoken one tone language,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: not around not around us. That might be in your
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: private time, your prayer time. You ain't you know, try
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: to heal hell with your hands. You ain't trying to.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen that. But what I have seen is
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: the love of God just lead you. And I think
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: there's something that we have to speak on as believers
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: when we try to really suffocate what God is trying
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: to do through us, because we think that the only
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: way he can do it is in our own territory.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: But what does go ye there for me? What does
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: that mean? Go ye? Therefore? Where's where is there?
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: That's the question that we have to I'm sorry, I'm
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: a little I gotta appreciate you, but.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I came to be blead.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Come on, but no, I think it's so important to
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: don't give me another money, come.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: To be blessed, blessed by just But no, I.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Think that's there's a level of freedom that we need
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: in our own community as believers to really understand, like
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: how do we impact the Seven Mountains or how do
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: we impact the world without going out there, and so
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: back to the witch coming she out here because she's
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: supposed to be anyway. So I think, I thank you
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: so much for that. So I want I there's another
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: faith based question I have for you, cause I'm so
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: curious about this. How So it was one place where
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: you were when you were hoping, and you was like, Okay, God,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: I'm believing this for believing you for this, and then
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: you've gotten to this place beyond acting, like you really
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: gone beyond what you thought you were gonna do.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: What does how does the faith differ? What does faith
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: look like?
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, you had this faith for this thing, but now
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: you're in the promise.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: What does that look like? How do you maintain faith
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: when you are you're living in what you worked for
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: all your all your life.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: I think that it's important to understand. I moved to
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: La to pursue a dream of acting. That's literally my
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: the only thing I had, like in my.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Brain, like I want to be a famous actress.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Right, my, My my biggest goal was to become a
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: series regular or a leading lady in a movie. Right.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Those were my goals, my dreams. When God opened the
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: doors for me in social media. I didn't want to
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: do that. And I also was like, Lord, I don't
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: want to do no videos, Like I'm an actress, why
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: would I do videos? Right? But obedience is what made
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: me do it, and it wasn't how I envisioned it.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: I had to have faith in order to keep going
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: and living a life of obedience. So when the door
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: started to open up for me to write books, I
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: was like, I never wanted to write a book before,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: but the Lord told me, you know you're gonna write
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: a book.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I never wanted to do anything with cooking.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Ever, here I am every day cooking in every day
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: at five o'clock on Facebook for years seasoning. I didn't
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: want to do no seasoning hair. I used to do
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: hair that a lot of people don't know that about me.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't know. Yeah, I did natural hair for years.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: That's how I made my side money.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I was illegally, but you know des a ring ded
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: hair too, see, because you don't necessarily need you know,
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: the certification, if you just do it naturally.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Had no chemicals.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, separate rooms, separate rooms. However, I named my hair
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Donna just in a funny moment cooking Live, and I
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: heard God say hold on to that, keep calling her that,
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: keep saying give her life. And I was like, okay, Lord, obedience,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: having faith in whatever it is that that he is
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: telling me.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know what was happening.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: So by the time all this stuff started to happen,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: I had businesses. I had, you know, these partnerships that
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: I never ever imagined or dreamt of. The only thing
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: I could walk by was faith because this wasn't part
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: of my plan, right right?
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: So Wow, I.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Didn't those like I don't I heard the same thing. Wow, Okay, okay,
• 28:08

• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Kevin ain't gonna.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Get me tearing up in your cab. But that's it.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Like you, you ain't got no choice when you ain't.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't map this out. People always say
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: what was your formula?
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: What? Like?
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Show us, like what steps did you take? Prayer? Fast
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: and obedience? Does?

  Speaker 2: Right?
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Tell the people obedience? Like I can't.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: I can't write down the steps you're gonna have to
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: It's called order my steps, dear Lord, Come on, Like,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: I honestly can't tell you. I only had to walk
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: by faith. I could only do that that's it, which
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: I still do today. I'm launching a whole new business tomorrow.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: This is faith. Do you understand I don't Fridays with
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: a chance for it smells good.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: You hear me useless as a clip, it smells good,
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: very okay, but talking.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah so so good good. Yeah.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, when you're walking in the Master's plan, all
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: you can do is have faith. This won't my plan.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: I knew I was gonna be famous as a child.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: I just always knew something big. I'm gonna be famous.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: But I thought it because I was gonna be like
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Claire about to be America's Mom.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: But on TV.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't know people was gonna start referring to
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: me as America's mom from like social media and Auntie
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: from social media.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I thought it's because I was gonna be a series regular.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: But now, but you are a regular. Listen like you.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: I am a series regular.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: In my life, I played the role of Tabitha Brown,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: the obedient servant.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, that is who I am. I have one director,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: come on, come on, tell them about it.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: He sits high and he looks, and when the time
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: comes for me to be done, he.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Will year cut.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Listen okay, but until then, I shall keep on delivering
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: the lines. I'm trying.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I'm trying.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to scream because she just don't know. She
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: don't know, She don't know for real, she don't know.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: I couldn't.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: You just said a mouthful. It's a it's a saying
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: that that we go from glory to glory, right what
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: I'm hearing, Oh, thank you, Lord, I'm hearing you. You
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: go from faith to faith, like you take the moment
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: with God and you embrace the moment with God and
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: say God until it's complete.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I know this is. Until this is complete.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: I'm not moving on to the next because you ain't
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: complete with me here. But I know there's a next
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: that's coming. Sometimes we look so far to the next
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: that we mismanaged to now. And I don't know about y'all,
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: but I'm guilty of that, just because I'm a seer,
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: like I can see, I can like, man, Lord, it's
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: so big, so I need to be doing everything. He's like, No,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: I'm just showing so you can understand the promise, Like
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: I'm showing you the land so you can know what
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: you're going to He gonna give us previews. That's so good, right,
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: that's why he had.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: You sit on the stage with me last year. He
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: did that. He did give me a preview there.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was like, I want to show you what
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: you're supposed to have when you walk out and people cheer.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: I want you to know this is what you deserve.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Get used to this, like, get used to sitting with
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: people that you admire, but they also admire you because
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: you deserve.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: This is your life. I want you to feel this
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: in this moment.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: But be obedient as I started to call you to
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: the life right, which is part of you leaving your job,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: being surrounded by a building right that is holding you hostage.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: You had to break free of those things. But he
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: will give us a preview. He would give us a preview, honey,
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: because that's why when we walk into certain things, we'd
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: be like, why this looks so familiar?
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's so good, Like I've been here before.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Well, he showed you, whether it was in a dream,
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: whether it was through somebody else's life.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: He gave you a little glimpse. He gave you the glimpse. Yeah.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: So for people that are struggling with their consistency, especially.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: What we're talking about.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: They have the gifts and they have the ignorinties, but
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: they feel called to what was considered worldly. What advice
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: would you give them to be consistent in their lane? Like,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: how did you fight through that? Because I heard on
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: that Mama's.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Dead episode, Well you say a chance? It was like,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: good what you're doing because the Lord really tells you.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: The Lord really tell you during the time of cooking
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: every day, and I won't make no money.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's still obedience, right if you feel
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: and you know because the thing that we also got
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: to make sure that we separate is that we're not
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: confusing our own thoughts with God.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Is speaking to us.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: That's so good, right, So because we can tell ourselves
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: something all day, but when God tells us, it won't
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: let us rest, right, And so when that happens, you
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: just gotta be obedient in it. And if people call
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: you crazy, let them, even if they talk junk, let them.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: If they don't support you, let them. The proof will
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: be in the butting will and then they'll be the
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: first ones coming back Like, d that's what you was
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: talking about.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, Oh, that's what you was doing.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Still doing it, still showing up but also now reaping
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: the reward.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah right.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So the the seed sowing season can be difficult,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: yeah right, for a lot of us. And it can
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: be frustrating because sometimes the ground is so hard, yeah,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: and you got to break through the ground. Sometimes it
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: ain't rained, you ain't got enough water to soften the dirt,
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: and you're trying your best to sow dc But you
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: still got to do it in obedience, no matter how
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: long it took me over twenty years.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Say that again, over twenty years. I've been pursuing over
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: twenty years to get here, right, and some people think
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: it's overnight. It's like, no, it took me a long time.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: But I wouldn't change it for nothing in the world
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: because a twenty year of so and seeds. Look at
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: the lot of harvests, Look at the harvest flowing.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: You know me.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: So I say, I mean, I can't say it no
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: more than I've already said it. But obedience, baby, it
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: is your friend, it is your gift. It can be hard, right,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: living an obedient life is not easy, I will tell
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: you that, but it is worth it. It's worth it,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: and so listen, I could just I could just sit
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: here and listen to her all day, Like, no, you're
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: talking so good, because that's where a lot of like
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: my friend group, I'm around surrounding myself with a lot
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: of different creatives and a lot of people that are fighting.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: It's like, man, like this shouldn't be this hard. And
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: we just shout out to BGTV, We're sorry, Brad, we
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: love you. We're part of a network now that is
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Kingdom based, right, and the he's literally allowing podcasts to
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: come to the space for free whatever. Yeah, like it's so,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: it's so in Alabama, listen, very good.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: We love it, we love it.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: And so Brad is the visionary of this and he obeyed.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: He's literally obeying God and seeing the fruit of him
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: obeying God to the point where we're now with into
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty something plus. Listen, he had a podcast for himself,
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Like he started podcast for himself about around the time
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: we started a podcast about two years ago. And then
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: the Lord said I wanted big, I wanted to be
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: a network. He didn't know how it was going to
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: do it. He started at the basement. Come on of
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: his home, come on, sold his home. Now you know
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying, now he and his wife are transitioning
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: to something. The Lord said, I need to get rid
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: of that. He was like, well, how much? How's the people?
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: His friend gives him a space, come on, gives him
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: a space up like the build it Out Desilerate helped
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: me with the story out. He builds it out for nothing.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: So he's literally allowing him to use this space for nothing.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: He has about twenty podcasts that come through. And I said,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: so I'm sitting there because you know I'm a technical person.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm like, so how you get how you
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: get revenue? He was like, it's all faith based, you know,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: you know di and the Lord is like literally making
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: a way.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: So it's so it's so beautiful.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: How I know, Jessica, I was wondering because you know,
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: I can't and the screen is not up there.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'm in a new space. But I'm getting together, Okay,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: I'm getting it together.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: So he's in this space where because of his obedience
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: and he don't know, like he's never built a podcast
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: network before, right, but because his obedience and he's taking
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: these steps, the Lord is literally drawing the people to him.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Right we met him, we had to record October. Yeah,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: so we met We met him in October because we
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: have a space to record a podcast. Right, we got
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: connected a week before the Saturday were supposed to go in.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: I go in on Friday to meet him. He comes
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: on Saturday and opens it up and then leaves, shows
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: me how to work the stuff, and then he just leaves.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: So now we're in a space where where we're partnering
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: together to kind of help him with this help him
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: build this vision that God has given him, you know
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying. And it's like if he wouldn't have
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: been obedient, if we wouldn't have been obedient, then that
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: that time would have never happened, you know what I'm saying.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: So I just keep hearing you talk about the importance
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: of obedience and how sometimes a lot of times the
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: obedience doesn't look how we think it should look. Right.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: We had a podcast episode where Coach D talked about
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: sometimes the yes looks like a downgrade.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: So when you were talking about that plown, I literally
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: I was literally envisioning, like my granddaddy was a gardener,
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: and I just remember him out there those tractors and
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: plant no seeds and stuff like that. But in due time,
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: the harvest in the in the and the fruit and
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: the vegetables came, you know. So this this has been
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: so good to my little my little spirit. No, it's
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: it's really good because you're just reminding us. You said
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: something earlier regarding business. I gotta tell you this because
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: you about to help me out so many So as
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: far as I know that there's businesses in me, I
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: know that there is there are opportunities that's gonna come
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: through me, and I in my mind, I was like, I.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Gotta figure it out.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: All I gotta I gotta go to this coulting program,
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: all I gotta do this, and it just nothing makes
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: sense until it makes sense, right, Like nothing makes sense.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: So you said that, Lord, I don't know how to
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: do what it is or I didn't think about writing
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: a book. I didn't consider this. How did you know
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: when it was okay to accept the help? Because we don't.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: We gotta make sure we manage the assignment. But also
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: who's coming along with this time? Like how do we
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: know who to attach ourselves to? Why we're developing and grown,
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: because that could be a very vulnerable place. But like
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to do this, but you got
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: to lean on somebody to know how to do it.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Absolutely for me, baby, let me tell.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: You something about that spirit.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: First of all, we know when we pray for help
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: and then help come, that's God answering, right, But we
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: also got to use that that gift He gave us,
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: that discernment. If it don't feel right, And I talked
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: about this just that on the video I posted. If
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: it don't feel right, it ain't right. If it's a
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: little bit off, a little bit can cost you a
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: whole lot. Yeah, if it's a slight amount of like
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: I don't trust it, that ain't the one.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: If you pray for help, God will send help.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: We have to be mindful when He sends the help,
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: and we gotta trust our discernment. Right. For me, I
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: literally was very very specific and I still am when
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: I pray and my prayer. I remember when I was like, God,
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: I really need a team.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: I need a team. These things are happening.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: And I had one person that I had been working
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: with for a long time and I was like, but Lord,
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: I need a team. And a management company had reached
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: out and we took a call. They were believers. It
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: was on the phone for like two hours. I was like, okay,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: all right, maybe this is it. And before they hung up,
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: they said, my spirit is just saying you need a
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: full team. That's confirmation for me because like God will
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: give you key words to know, like, Okay, there's no mistake,
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: this is me right, things that I specifically pray for,
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: and then they come back and reconfirm it. And so
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: that's how I ended up getting my agent that I'm
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: still with now, with c A.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Which they are beautiful. They are beautiful people.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: By the way, but yeah, so I mean, and then
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: of course I hired in the house after that, and
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: of course you know Hope, so we love. Yeah, but
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: even like with Hope, I've known Hope since I feel
• 41:10

  Speaker 2: like I was doing the podcast by myself, right, I
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: was doing it out of obedience to God. Shout out
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: to my spiritual father father Howard. He was on my
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: neck about doing a podcast. I was like, sir, don't

  Speaker 1: to sit down and be quiet. I want to hear
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: your mouth. Damn that talking in class.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: I always felt like somebody want to hear me say no.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: But that's so good because somebody, at some point, somebody
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: should you have the option to respond.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, your response was I will not be quiet.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: My problem was I will be quiet. Let me be quiet,

  Speaker 2: love the fact that you gave your help a chance.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: She had to trick me, doesn't had to trick me
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: into let her help me because I try and pray.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: I just asked why we don't be left line to misstab,
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: just ask a question.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: I let me tell you the prayer.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: Then I let the woman God act like she gonna
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: tell the tour. I prayed the same prayer you pray.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: I said, well, Lord, if you want me to keep
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: doing this, I had done ten episodes. Now this this,
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: this creativity thing ain't for the week, this podcast and
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: episode media.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Folks want me to come. Folks want to act.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: This takes a lot of energy, like it just takes
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of consistency for man like so much. And
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: so I was like, Lord, if I'm gonna keep doing this,
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: I don't need help, like and I can't afford to
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: pay anybody right now.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep one hundred. You know, I can't afford
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: to pay for nobody right now.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: And this is all a gat and I want to
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: do it in excellence, you know, I don't want to
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: just dishonor what you said. And so literally, like maybe
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: about a couple of weeks later, she called me, hey, Jess,
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: you know, we don't even we don't even know each
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: other know each other. We just know of each other.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: We're experiencing each other on different levels. And she calls
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: She goes, hey, Jess, I see that you're doing the
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: podcast thing.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Whatever can you? Can you answer a few questions for me?
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Am I line?
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: Yet I was asking questions, questions, So she goes down
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: the line, ask questions.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Miss Tell.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: She goes down the line and ask questions, and she
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: gets to the point where we can I can I
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: practice on you?
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, So I thought I was
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: helping her.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: I thought I was listen, I was being interviewed, and
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: we stuck, like I love it, We're stuck like child.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: I don't think I think that that was the best
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: lesson I could learn is that I couldn't be too prideful.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask for the help, but then try to
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: shut down the hill.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: That's what I was doing.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the many of us, so many of us
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: like we are in desperate need of help, and then
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: when they helped show up, we don't want it. We
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: got attitude about it. We mad what what you? What
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: you if you're trying to help me for when you
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: know you need to help or you too shame the
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: ego is too big, right, It's just then you miss
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: your opportunity and then you back praying like God, why
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: you ain't send me help?
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: You know I need help. He's like, not done. Sent
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: you four five people and you keep turning them down.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: What do you want me to do? So good?
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: So you know, my daddy used to always tell me
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: this joke when I was little, and it didn't It
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: was funny as a kid, but I didn't really get
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: it until I was grown.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: And uh, he was talking.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: He was always talking about the flood happened and this
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: man was, uh, the water had got so high. He
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: was stuck on his roof and he was praying like Lord, please,
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: you know, help me, And so he said as the
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: water was rising, it wasn't too high yet.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: He was like in this in his house and like
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: looking out the window.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Somebody came, like you know, in a truck, like, hey,
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: the water's starting to rise, Like let's go. He's like, no,
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: the Lord gonna the Lord gonna send help for me,
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: Like the Lord gonna help me. The water rose a
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: little bit more than now he had to get from
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: from the window to you know, get to the roof.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: Another man in a boat came, hey, come on, like,
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: it's bad out here.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: He was like, no, the Lord gonna the Lord gonna
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: send help for me. Then now he on top of
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: them the top part of the room.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: A helicopter came and was like, come on, you know
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: it's bad out here. He's like, no, the Lord is
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: gonna send help for me. The Lord is gonna help me.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: And then the men drowned and he died. And when
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: we got to heaven, he said, now, Lord, you said
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: you would you would help me. He said, well, I
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: sent you a truck, I sent you a boat and
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: a helicopter, and you denied every that's one of them.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: So as a kid, I was like laughing, like Lord,
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: it's funny. And then as I got grown, I was like, oh,
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: you he sending the help and you denying it. So
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: we have to be mind for sometimes the help comes
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: in different ways and it don't look like what we
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: envision it.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's still the help we need. So good,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: so good.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: No, that's that's real good because we want to help
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: how we want it, and that's prideful, but what I
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: think the words say something about probably leads to destruction
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: or something like that. And don't you already know I
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: know about it, maybe not the full address, but but
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: saying okay, because we're not religious, we know the Lord
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: is over her doing her job. The pride comes before
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: the fall, and so now we have to check our
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: hearts and say, why why are we blocking ourselves away
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: from the help. I'm having so much fun when you
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: miss tells having so much fun. One of the things
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: I want to do is bring up your your children's
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: book that you have. Hell, it's okay, I'm in certain
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: picture right, Yeah, we're gonna do that, and I'm gonna
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: take a picture with it. But I'm super excited about
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: you doing this because, like I said earlier, you are
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: you are a household name. And when you think when
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: I used to think about that, I used to think like, oh, yeah,
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: that's because they're saying it so much. No, the Lord
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: showed me I was having a conversation about you. The
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: Lord showed me how. And you're literally in every part
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: of the home. If you really think about your products,
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: the services that you have, you offer, just your being,
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: you're in you're in the couple relationship, you're in the
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: self identification, you're in a relationships with your the children,
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: so you connect with the children tab time, like I
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: just love all of it. And even in the kitchen
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: where the kitchen brings everybody together and nourishes. Yeah, you
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Like that is such a powerful
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: statement that the Lord was just like, no, she is
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: like in every part of the household, and I think
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: that's amazing. So with this children book, it's just adding
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: on to that the idea of you being a household name.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: So can you tell us a little bit about this
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: children books and what we can expect for him, because
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: you got a tour coming up and everything. It is
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: my first like hard copy children's book, and it is
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: called Hello Their Sunshine, and.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: It's based on like my childhood.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: So when you see the images, it's like a little
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: tab you can see like my dog I had when
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: I was little.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: His name was Grady. He was black.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: Everybody probably think it's blacky, but it's not. He was
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: a black child. But what it was about was my
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: mama teaching me how we are our own light. And
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: so I love the sun. So you know, as a
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: little girl. I would wake up in the morning, I
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: look out the window. I'm like, hello, the sunshine. You know,
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: I would say hello to the sun. In this particular day,
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: the sun is not shining, and it's gloomy. It's gray outside.
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: It's not raining, but it's just very gloomy outside. And
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: so I tell my mama the sun ain't shining today,
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: and she said, well, you know what, maybe you can
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: go find the sun. And so I was like on
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: this mission to go find the sun. So I ride
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: my bike through the neighborhood and I, you know, stop
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: and see people doing different things in the neighborhood, Like
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: we had these neighbors mister and missus, folks who have
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: passed on now.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: They were very elderly. Then my mom used to have
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: me read books.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: And then when I was a kid, and so he's
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: fixing like his like a bird feeder, and so I
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: stopped to help him fix it and do some things.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: And it brings him joy that I stopped and helped him.
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: And then I go see one of my other friends
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: and who's sometimes afraid to come outside because she was
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: very sheltered, and so I get her to come outside
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: and like play with a butterfly, and she was excited about,
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: like not being afraid. I helped my other friends who
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: were trying to fly a kite and they couldn't get
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: it off the groun because the wind went and blowing.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: So I got on my bike and I drove, you know,
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: rode real fast, and so it caught winning and the
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: kite began to fly and they were excited. And so
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: later that day I go to the pond for a
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: family picnic, and I realized I still didn't find the sun.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: The sun still never came out. And so my mama
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: says to me, she said, did you find the sun?
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: And so I recapped my day with her and I said, well, no,
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: but I did this thing with mister and missus folks,
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: I did this thing with Toy, I did this thing
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: with Frankie Fine Tay Like, she said, were they happy?
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: I was like yeah. She was like, so you sure
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: you didn't find the sunshine today? Oh man?
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: And looking in the pond, you know because little tab
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: got an afro, Yeah, you see like the reflection which
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: looks like the sun. And I was like, oh, I'm
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: the sunshine. And that's what it's about. It's about teaching
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: children you can be the sunshine in somebody's life, especially
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: your own. So that's hello, de sunshine. I love that
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: grown people need that. All listen, we need some grown
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: folks some sunshine. No, like we we really need to
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: So that's so that's so powerful.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: I love.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: I just love how God just shows himself in your
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: in your writing, and like even with the idea a
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: new thing like that was a pure devotional, Like that
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: was a real devotional. I love how God just operates
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: through your writing. It's just it's something brilliant about it.
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: I was like, man, I need the dog on Sunshine
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: book such book man desilate with you over there thinking
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: because we got to land this plane, because we could
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: talk all day, I feel that this was good. So
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: once again, I just love I get the privilege of
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: sitting back and just just taking it all in and
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: just kind of God is really just give me confirmation
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: this today.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: So I'm a big picture person as well, So sometimes
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: God will show you these things and what he's showing
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: you doesn't look like your current reality. And one thing
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: my pastor always says is the enemy to faith is
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: not fear, its sight. So what I what I kept
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: hearing you say was in the obedience. Just stay in
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: the obedience, keep keep in the process because the process
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: to get to where he showed you is important because
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: he's working the things in and out as well as
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: the people that are supposed to be aligned. It has
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: to be timing for them because they got to be
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: obedient too. If you're honest, you know what I'm saying.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: So it's like, just stay in the process, regardless of
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: what it looks like, regardless of how you're feeling about
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: a thing, like in the end, because he's working all
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: things together for our goods.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: So this has been so inspiring.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: Thank you, miss tab for join us on this one
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: hundred episode. It had to be made, like desil Ray
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: gave me the faith to ask you to be on
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: the podcast. Yes, so she we were doing a planning
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: and just getting everything together and I was like, man,
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: one hundred episode has to be special, and she was like,
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: you think, mister Trible do it? I said, I don't know,
• 54:11

• 54:23
  Speaker 1: I'll do it.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: No, but we're so we're so grateful, and I think
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: that it was very intentional because you are so in
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: line with what our mission is for this year, where
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: our mission is to focus on Yes, three sixty five
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: given our got God yes daily because sometimes we get
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: you know, discouraged and frustrated about the past, that the
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: past with the past, yesterday was yesterday. Now you have
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: to focus on you know, today and what God has
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: for the daily bread.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: And so yes see, three sixty five has literally.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: Been about obeying God in the now and so you,
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: without knowing that just really set us up for the
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: next hundred You set ourself for the rest of the year.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: It's just so amazing. So in good tradition of just.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: As the podcast, we allow our guests to just leave
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: their heart and have the final final word. And so
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: I know we talked about a lot of things, but
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: if you came anything in here with anything on your
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: heart and a thing on your mind that you want
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: to share, this is the time to do it. Or
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: you can just rea to say hey, I said what
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: I said and keep on going.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: So on, Mistail is an honor, The floor is yours.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate y'all, both of y'all.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: I'm so proud of y'all and and you're yes, it's
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: so important. So it's very good to my soul to
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: just be here. I did hear something while we were talking,
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: just about sowing seeds.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: And I don't know who this might.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: Be for, but someone is saying, what, I can't sow
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: my seeds right now, right because it's it's winter, like
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: the ground is too cold, it's not the right climate.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: But I want to remind you that it's also winter
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: in Miami, it's also winter in Mexico, it's also winter
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: in Jamaica. It's also winter in tropical places that are
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: fruitful all year that the land is ready for the
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: seeds to be sown. So maybe you can't sow your
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: seeds because you're in the wrong environment and it might
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: be time to move.
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: Thank y'all.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: Miss Tam said, Miss Hope, thank you, Miss Hope. I
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: wish Miss Hope just said give it to somebody, because
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: somebody saying that the ground is too hard and it's
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: too cold and it's snowing. Well, maybe you're in the
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: wrong environment. That is why you're not able to sow
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: your seeds. You can't even uh water, you can't even
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: feel the sun. You can't even feel the heat. You're
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: in the wrong environment. It's too cold for you there.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: And that doesn't necessarily mean uh, the state. It could
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: be your house, come on, it could be your friends,
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: It could be that relationship, can be that job, It
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: could be anything that is that is causing your winter
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: to leave you frost bitten and destroyed and you can't
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: break ground and sow seeds. It is time to shift
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: and move to a better climate so that you can
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: sow your seeds, take care of them, and reap the
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: harvest that you deserve.
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: That's so good.
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: MS Tabs said, it has bet this listen. I am
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: full and happy. I'm glad. I'm glad you came, and
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you had a good time because last time

• 58:09
  Speaker 2: two thousand and twentieth, had the podcast when I saw
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: you yes, because remember the dream. The dream was okay,
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: just real quick, I know we got we got church
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: people tame. The dream was that she was coming to
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: the show will come into Birmingham, and I asked her
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: to be on the show and it was a lot
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: of people around. And then when I met her, she
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: asked me about my nail size. I couldn't understand it,
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: but we went. I just remember us going into this
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: room that was bigger than the studio that we was
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: in at the time, and we entered in together and
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: I couldn't tell what the space was. This was before
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: she had made the petition, the petition for Content Creators
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: in Birmingham, not knowing that she would click my name
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: and say hello, this.

  Speaker 1: In my DM because you was.

  Speaker 2: like twelve hundred. It was yeah, that's what made me
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: excited because you were still I was looking through your
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: I said, she don't have that many follow and she's showing.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: Up every day, she's still posting, she's still giving the content.
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: So that is obedience. That shows like it don't matter. Oh,
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: it don't matter that it ain't thousands of people. I
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: got twelve hundred I got show up for them. If
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: it was three hundred, I would have said it just
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: the person, because that means you believe in what you're doing,
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: so you keep doing it.
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: When I first started, nobody was watching my videos. I'd
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: be getting like.
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: One hundred views, two three hundred views, and they'd be
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: my family in North Carolina, and I was like, okay, lord,
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: but you told me to do this, I'm gonna keep
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: doing it every day until those hundreds became thousands, and
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: those thousands became hundreds of thousands, and those hundreds of
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: thousands became millions. So obedience and seeing that is what
