This is the sermon podcast. I am Coriel and I'm back with another soul-snatching download that I've gotten directly from God. Well, okay, let me say this week's sermon came from God, of course, but it came through the gram, okay?

I talk a lot of ish about Instagram and all of the negativity and toxicity that happens online, right?

But sometimes we come across some things, some people, some resources that are, you know, helpful, valuable, or just help to get our minds right.

And so today's big dog status sermon is centered around this clip that I saw of Dr. Tracy Lynn.

If y'all have not heard of Tracy Lynn jewelry, y'all got to look it up, okay? Because this is a bad woman. All right, check her out. But I just want y'all to listen to this clip so that you know the inspiration for today's podcast. I have a big dog. She's about 65, 70 pounds, my cocoa. And when she was a little puppy, I would put the mirror up to her, and she would lick the mirror.

And recently, my son put the mirror to her face, and she ran.

She was scared of the image that was staring back at her because she forgot she was a big dog.

So to all the big dogs out Now, if that didn't just get you fired up, stick around

there, whew, whew, wait.

Now, if that didn't just get you fired up, stick around, because we are about to get

into it, because I know that it is not just me that has found myself looking in the mirror

and staring at an unfamiliar face. Maybe it's because I'm scared of who I've become. Maybe it's

because the mental, me mentally accepting who I've become is not yet physically caught up with you know me physically

becoming who I am now there's so many reasons that we could look at ourselves and feel like we

are staring at a stranger but today I am talking about the people who have found themselves

playing small forgetting who they are because they're really scared

of showing up as their full selves because it's not that you're necessarily scared of failure.

What if you win? What if all these things that you've been praying about, all these things

that you've been begging God for, all these things that you've been putting on your vision board, all of these goals that you've been going after, what if that thing actually comes to fruition?

What if God has not been playing with you all along?

Today I want to remind you of the big dog that you are.

That just because you've spent a whole lot of time
