God can't bless you for tend to be or who you compare yourself to. He can only bless you and the lane that was created for you.

I feel that for somebody.

You don't need no itch, it's a tea you need boundaries.

What? I don't need your lights, I don't need your elevation.

All I need is a God fighting for me that's there are things, all things, all things.

I have been told that this is a safe space and I need to know if that's true. Is this a safe space?

Like if I told you how blessed plain potato chips are dipped in hot sauce, like are you side eyeing me or not?

Like how safe are we here?

I know that example was small but like let's be honest about the times we say we're judgment free

but we're actually judging ourselves and others as we compare the way we live our lives.

I'm excited for today's co-host. This episode we have Jay Barnett, a former athlete and now a best-selling author and licensed therapist.

Journeying from sports to speaker took a toll on his psyche that included self-judgment.

If you have found yourself being judgmental with yourself and perhaps even judgmental with others,

this check in with Jay is going to help you learn to pivot because he's going to share with us how he pivoted and learn to endure.

Let's go.

Hello.

Hey, how you doing, Pastor Sir?

I'm doing great, how are you?

I'm doing well, I'm doing well.

Thank you for taking the time to speak with us. I know we're going to be so excited to hear about your story and journey.

Yes, yes, I'm excited to speak with you and to share so thank you for this great opportunity.

Okay, so May is mental health awareness month and as you know, there's been such stigma about mental health in the black community and the faith community.
