In this seventh installment of The Blueprint of Becoming, we’re talking about prayer—not as a performance or formality, but as personal communication with God. Why is prayer important? Why does it matter to talk to the One who created you? Why should the created speak with the creator? And how do we actually pray with power and effectiveness?
We’ll explore:
Why Jesus calls us His friends (John 15:14-15)
The importance of daily dependence on the Bread of Life (John 6:35)
What makes prayer effective: faith, obedience, humility, confession, fasting, and more
Ephesians 1:17—through 3 different Bible translations
This is a soul check. Are you prioritizing prayer or treating it like a backup plan?
Reflection Question/Journal Prompt: How well do you wait on God? Are you approaching prayer as something you "have" to do or something you "get" to do?
Don’t just talk about God—talk to Him. Jump into the comments and let’s talk: What’s one thing you’re praying for right now? Like, Share, and Subscribe if this episode stirred something in your spirit. Drop a comment and tell me what you’re praying for today.

In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, I lay it all out, spiritual growth hasn’t been easy. Spiritual warfare has been a cross we’ve all had to bear. And as hard as it has been, I have to admit that having the equipment hasn’t been enough if I didn’t know what to do with it. So, it is my hope that the Lord meets you here in this episode to help us all learn how to use the tools we’ve been equipped with because the enemy ain’t fighting fair.
Ways to fight spiritual warfare:
"Belt of Truth"
"Breastplate of Righteousness"
"Footwear with the Gospel of Peace"
"Shield of Faith"
"Helmet of Salvation"
"Sword of the Spirit"
Scriptures:
Ephesians 6: 14-17
Isaiah 52:7; 59:17

Life Application Bible
Christian Standard Bible (CSB)
Amplified Bible (AMP)
It is my hope that we grow and not crumble. Pray for and with the body of Christ.

In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, I unpack what real discipleship looks like—and why it’s more than just mentorship or role modeling. Discipleship is intentional. It’s spiritual. And it’s a lifelong process. Dr. Eric Mason said that discipleship is “lifelong process of learning and following Jesus, striving to live a life that reflects His teaching and character.”
This episode was important to me because I had the opportunity to reflect on my personal journey and how I was being discipled long before I even had the language for it. For many of us, the people who’ve poured wisdom into us over the years may not have called it “discipleship”—but if they were teaching us to walk more like Christ, isn’t that exactly what it was?
We explore what it means to honor those who came before us while walking in deeper revelation, and why we must resist the temptation to get ahead of ourselves when we receive new knowledge. Grace is essential.
I also dive into the three key pillars of discipleship outlined in the title):
Community – We are not formed in isolation. Don’t let the enemy trick you out of the benefits of living in community.
Correction – True love tells the truth. Pruning was always meant for long-term growth, rather than short-term comfort.
Commitment – Discipleship is daily, not just seasonal. Without the sacrifice of commitment, there comes a lack of appreciation. Commit to God and commit to being discipled, being a disciple and discipling others.
Three questions came up as a revelation that I believed the Lord wanted me to meditate on as I journeyed with him and initially began to learn more about discipleship.
(1) Who am I as a disciple;
(2) How am I being discipled; and
(3) Who am I discipling?
I believe He wanted me to share these with you today to evaluate where you are in relation to where he wants to take you. Be open to what he wants to say to you.
Scriptures covered include:Matthew 28:19–20 – The Great Commission and our call to make disciples.John 8:31 – Comparing the AMP and MSG versions to reveal deeper meaning in abiding in truth.John 15:8 (NLT) – What it means to bear fruit that multiplies through others.
This is a soul-shaping conversation for anyone growing in faith, spiritual maturity, or walking out their assignment as a disciple of Christ. Thank you for tuning in and journeying with me, it’s a privilege to walk alongside you, in faith.
