Why do we stop walking when the road gets dark?

  https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-evidence-of-things-not-seen--69861650 Why do we stop walking when the road gets dark? It’s a question we all face. You have the plan, you have the desire, but suddenly the path forward disappears into the fog of uncertainty. Most people freeze. They wait for the sun to come out before they take another step. But the "Imani-born"—those who understand the science of Faith—know a secret about that fog. In today’s episode, we discuss the mechanics of moving forward without physical evidence. We talk about the difference between blind optimism and the structural Faith that builds nations. If you have ever felt your Purpose stalling because you couldn't see the "how," this conversation is the shift you’ve been waiting for. You don't need to see the whole staircase to take the first step.

Defining Your Own Reality Are You Living Your Story or Someone Else’s? We all have a script. It’s handed to us by our parents, our schools, our jobs, and society at large. It tells us who we are supposed to be, how much we are allowed to earn, and what we are "allowed" to dream. But what happens when that script doesn't match the fire in your soul? In today’s episode, we confront the uncomfortable truth about Self-Determination. We aren't just talking about making choices; we are talking about the radical act of defining your own reality. We explore the "bad omens" placed on us by others and how, like the story of the princess with the crooked back, we can transform our perceived weaknesses into our greatest sources of power. If you have ever felt like a supporting character in your own life, you need to hear this. Your Next Steps: Stop wandering and start building.

Drop the Qualifier: Reclaiming Our Narrative Without Apology We are at a pivotal moment in history—a moment of transformation, of collapse, and of rebirth. Like the mythical phoenix, we are being pushed to redefine ourselves, to rise from the ashes of outdated frameworks. A conversation I had recently made me realize something profound: we have been conditioned to qualify ourselves in ways that no other group does. We say Black man , Black woman , Black history , as if our identity needs an extra descriptor to be understood, acknowledged, or validated. But why? When white people talk about their history, they don’t call it white history . They simply call it history. Napoleon is just Napoleon. The Renaissance is just the Renaissance. Yet, when we speak of our existence, our achievements, and our legacies, we feel the need to prefix them with "Black." But this qualifier does more than just distinguish—it subtly suggests that our reality is secondary to some greater, more dom...
