It's been awhile, we were regrouping, but we are back now and expecting many more community members to join us here in our Virtual Better Life Academy. Here's my question... If there were 3 classes or 3 lesson's you want taught before the end of 2026 here in our SKOOL community, what would they be? Drop the course ideas in the comments and let's get reconnected.

Here’s a shorter Skool-ready version: 🚨 GBC Transformers — I WANT YOU TO BE FIRST! Before I share this with everyone else, I want YOU to be among the first to invest a few minutes in yourself and discover your GPS — Gifts, Passions & Skills. I created three FREE assessments and a DIRECTION link that connects your GPS with the best ministries, all designed to help you get a clearer picture of how God uniquely designed you to serve, lead, and make an impact. 🎁 GIFTS — What has God placed in you? 🔥 PASSIONS — What people and needs stir your heart? 💪🏾 SKILLS — What do you do well, and where can you use it? Don’t just invest money in your growth. Invest some TIME in discovering YOU. Complete all three assessments and see what your GPS reveals about your purpose and direction. Navigate Your Design. Discover Your Direction. Find Your Place. 👇🏾 Be one of the first to complete your GPS today! I’d add your app link directly after the final line so members can move from inspiration to action immediately. www.discoveryourgps.com Then share your results below on the comments.

Just wanted to share a portion of my personal morning devotional today. I clearly hear God saying, prepare by uniting others around prayer for the nation. What’s happening Nepal, Africa, The Middle East and in VA are not to be if be ignored. It won’t be easy but we will win. “Lace Up Your boots, put on your backpack, it’s time to ride… I’m riding with Jesus wherever he goes!” Below is a snippet of a song I had on repeat during my devo today, along with a portion of one of the 3 books I’m reading today. Scroll left to see book excerpts COMMENT What does this mean to you? What are you hearing the Lord saying?

🎶 I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings Sometimes the song isn’t about comfort… it’s about survival, faith, and hope. A bird in a cage sings because deep down it still believes in freedom. It still believes there’s more beyond what it currently sees. And spiritually, many of us have had seasons where life felt limiting, heavy, or uncertain—, but somehow God still placed a song in our spirit. Your song is your testimony.Your worship.Your resilience.Your reminder that your current situation does not have the final word. So this week, choose your song intentionally. Let it encourage you, strengthen you, and reconnect you to purpose. 🎵 What song has been speaking to your spirit this week? Drop it in the comments so we can build a playlist of encouragement together. 🙏🏾 :
