My goal for this week is to dedicate this week to women and various topics along the spectrum. I touched on something from the Bible regarding womanhood, I spoke on the Wonder Woman movie and today I wanted to talk about allyship, feminism, and intersectionality. I’ve been thinking for the past few months aboutContinueContinue reading “Allyship, Feminism, Intersectionality and Me”

Men or Women? Who’s First?
As I’ve been making my way through the Bible, I came across an interesting passage in Corinthians. Especially since so I’ve been growing in understanding patriarchy and how these are things affect our thoughts/interactions, I’ve been wondering what the Bible says about it. Truthfully, I never felt comfortable with the thought of men being betterContinueContinue reading “Men or Women? Who’s First?”
The Loving Holy Spirit
Over the years, I’ve been learning not just about Faith but embracing the nature of the Holy Spirit. A few basic things must be understood about It: It comes with peace It’s a gentle spirit It is spontaneous I just want to touch briefly on the Holy Spirit, how I’ve identified It and Its connections inContinueContinue reading “The Loving Holy Spirit”
Consequences and Forgiveness
I’ve had so many conversations in the past month about Christians that struggle with religious doctrine and choosing spirituality over organized religion. It also made me reflect on Christians’ relationship with the sacrifice Jesus made and what it means for us. Are we always forgiven no matter the sin? The answer is very complicated. AreContinueContinue reading “Consequences and Forgiveness”

Love Like Food for My Soul (Happy Mother’s Day)
The year was 1997 and Soul Food came out. It was one of the rare movies that felt distinctly black and authentic in a sea of movies and shows that portrayed black life as problematic. The cast read like hall of fame with Vivica A. Fox, Nia Long, Vanessa Williams, and Mekhi Phifer to just nameContinueContinue reading “Love Like Food for My Soul (Happy Mother’s Day)”
Syd tha Kyd Grows Up – Fin (Album Review)
I have a confession to make. As much as I was a blog rat from 2008-2012, I’ve never listened to Odd Future (or Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All). I had no desire for Tyler the Creator or Earl Sweatshirt. The first album I listened to by their affiliates were Frank Ocean (nostalgia,ULTRA) andContinueContinue reading “Syd tha Kyd Grows Up – Fin (Album Review)”
Medication Hesitation
When dealing with mental health, it’s difficult on navigating what is right and what is wrong to do. Is the issue something situational? Is the issue chemical? Is it something that can be modified by behavior? Do you have to use a combination of all of them? Yes. The answer is yes. Around a monthContinueContinue reading “Medication Hesitation”
It’s Okay to Be a Work in Progress
I graduated in 2015. Life was good. I was happy and comfortable with life. It was weird. I thought I had everything under control. I had a grip on where I wanted to go and who I wanted to be. So many things made since then. Fast forward to today and I’ve been brought toContinueContinue reading “It’s Okay to Be a Work in Progress”
To Talk to God
Today’s post is somewhat hard to put into words. My final goal from Lukewarm Obedience is to Talk to God. How do you talk to someone who can’t talk back? Or can He? I am going to do my best to explain talking to God for people who have never done it before. It’s complicated and definitelyContinueContinue reading “To Talk to God”
