Hello everyone, and welcome to the Transformational Teacher Podcast.
Speaker A:I am your host, detoya, and I am so thankful for each one of you.
Speaker A:Today's episode is actually not just another episode.
Speaker A:It's an invitation.
Speaker A:An invitation for you to join me.
Speaker A:On June 11, we are going to begin a journey together.
Speaker A:It is called Carried By Grace, the 40 day journey of becoming her.
Speaker A:It's not a program.
Speaker A:This is not a challenge.
Speaker A:It is a time to pause.
Speaker A:A time to pause and sit with our Heavenly Father.
Speaker A:It is a spiritual reset.
Speaker A:A moment to slow down.
Speaker A:A moment to tune into the Holy Spirit.
Speaker A:A moment to walk with God in a deeper way.
Speaker A:This journey is about releasing what's been weighing you down.
Speaker A:It's about letting go of those things that are trying to keep you stagnant.
Speaker A:And this is a moment to step into who God has said you are.
Speaker A:This wasn't something I had on my calendar to do, honestly.
Speaker A:But as my 40th birthday was approaching a few months ago, I had been saying, okay, what am I going to do for my birthday?
Speaker A:But we know our plans are not always God's plans.
Speaker A:And I kept hearing God whisper, now is the time.
Speaker A:Now is the time to rise and, and step into what I am telling you to do.
Speaker A:It's time to testify.
Speaker A:It's time for you to share the things I am telling you to share.
Speaker A:And as I look back over the years, through grief, through heartbreaks, depression, through those mountain top seasons, through those valleys, through those insecurities and becoming, God made it clear that what he has carried me through, it wasn't just for me.
Speaker A:But it's for the women that I'm calling you to reach.
Speaker A:It is for others.
Speaker A:It's time to open your mouth.
Speaker A:So this 40 day journey, it is about me obeying.
Speaker A:It's about me saying yes to what God is telling me to say and do.
Speaker A:Lord, I'll open my mouth so someone else can rise.
Speaker A:I will open my mouth so you can get the glory out of my life.
Speaker A:So your goodness can be shared throughout the world.
Speaker A:This is not about being perfect.
Speaker A:It is about saying yes and showing up and doing what God has said to do.
Speaker A:Everything that we go through throughout these 40 days, it is going to be rooted in truth.
Speaker A:Because here's the thing.
Speaker A:My story is filled with God's grace, filled with his love.
Speaker A:2nd Corinthians 12, 9.
Speaker A:It says, My grace is sufficient for you.
Speaker A:My loving kindness and my mercy are more than enough, for my power is made perfect in weakness.
Speaker A:I didn't earn this grace, but Romans 5, 8.
Speaker A:It says, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Speaker A:Even when I wasn't looking for God, he was carrying me.
Speaker A:God loves us so much that he sent his only Son to earth to die for me and you so we can live a life of of abundance, so we can live a saved life.
Speaker A:And it's just so amazing how he carries us even when we don't realize it.
Speaker A:I am so thankful for the things that God has protected me from.
Speaker A:I'm so thankful for every door that he has opened.
Speaker A:And now I am stepping forward.

Speaker A:He predestined and lovingly planned for us to be adopted to Himself as His.
