Pray for your kids constantly. It's a spiritual battle

Pray for your kids constantly. It's a spiritual battle

We need to talk about praying for our kids, not occasionally, but constantly. School. Home. The car. Even when they're sleeping. Because there's a real spiritual battle happening around them. And if we're honest, a lot of us are tired and scared. But here's what changed everything for me: Deuteronomy says Yahweh is the Elohim of Elohim, the God over every spiritual force. That means the battle isn't close. It's already won. So I stopped praying like a beggar and started praying like a son. I still fight , but from victory, not for it. And that freedom lets me steward what God gave me. My kids. My work. My time. I work like I'm working for Him, not for people. If you've been feeling heavy about your family or your purpose, this video is for you. You'll leave encouraged and challenged to get on your knees again. Watch until the end, I pray over us at the end.. 🎧 Listen while you drive or workout

He Missed Every Friday Night Game… and Still Made the NFL

Davion Taylor’s path to the NFL is unlike any football story you’ve heard before. Raised in Mississippi as a Commandment Keeper, Davion could not play Friday night high school football because of his faith. With no traditional exposure, he fought for an opportunity at junior college, earning a roster spot after competing against more than 150 athletes. That opportunity changed everything. Davion went on to earn a scholarship to the University of Colorado, became second-team All-Pac-12, ran a 4.3-second 40-yard dash, and was eventually drafted in the third round by the Philadelphia Eagles. But behind the success came adversity. In this episode, DT opens up about battling injuries, depression, isolation, and the emotional challenges that came with life in the NFL. Through every setback, his faith and family helped him keep perspective and continue moving forward. Now working with top NFL prospects at D1 Sports in Nashville, Davion is focused on helping athletes grow both on and off the field while staying ready for whatever comes next in his own journey. This conversation is about resilience, faith, purpose, and trusting God through every season of life.
