What a weekend at the 2819 All-Access Prayer Event 🙏🏽✨
Three things God placed on my heart after leaving:
1️⃣ Keep Christ at the center, not crowds, not platforms, not pastors. “Little children, keep yourselves from idols.” — 1 John 5:21
2️⃣ Plan with compassion accessibility matters. Let’s make room for everyone, not just in seats but in hearts. 💛
3️⃣ Grace over criticism, this was a first for so many. When 20,000 people arrive to fill a 16,000-seat arena, mistakes will happen, but so will miracles.
Sometimes revival looks messy before it looks miraculous. 🙌🏽
May we never forget that the focus of worship is never the stage… it’s Jesus. 💫
In this episode of Following The Call Podcast, we dive into one of the hardest but most freeing lessons of walking with Christ, forgiveness. The Holy Spirit has been showing me that forgiveness isn’t just about what someone else did to us, but about releasing the offense in our own hearts so we can truly love like Jesus.
I’ll be sharing my own wrestle with offense, stubbornness, and the desire for reconciliation, along with how God keeps reminding me through His Word that we are called to love one another as Christ loved the church.
If you’ve ever struggled with letting go, with the tension between forgiving and still wanting to guard your heart, this episode is for you.
💭 Listen in as we unpack:
This is a real, vulnerable conversation and my prayer is that it helps you find freedom in Christ through forgiveness. Rate this episode for a part 2 on the last two bulletin points and send in any questions you’d like featured in the next episode.

⚠️Don’t Be No Fool…
"Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. so that no one may boast before him."
1 Corinthians 1:26-27, NIV
Sometimes we confuse 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐬.
And pride will have you thinking the program can’t run without you.
But leadership is 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦—𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.
You weren’t chosen to be praised.
You were positioned to 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞.
God never made it about you—He made it about what He could do 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬.
Don’t let pride rob you of your purpose.

I can’t be the only one sitting at my 9-5 dreaming about quitting! 🧐❌
What if, instead of dreading Monday, you started building your own revenue right now with the gifts you’ve been given?
You keep overthinking? Waiting on perfect timing? It could be paying you?
What do your friends keep asking you for advice on? Could that be a service?
Idk about you but for me, something has to change and it starts with my belief system!
Mark 4:9 NET
And he said, "Whoever has ears to hear had better listen!"
In this weeks episode we unpack how we already exist in a world where everyone has dominion to take leadership, grab a microphone, build a platform, and influence an audience at the drop of a dime. We have enough podcasts, devotionals, small groups, etc with no qualifications required to even hold these spaces yet the greatest responsibility we have when building communities with the intention to inform about Jesus is to “keep him at the center” of whatever it is you’re involved in.
We should pay close attention to what’s being taught as we also vet communities to be apart of. Seek clarity from God on if it aligns with what is actually written in the Bible or not. As well as if it aligns with the seasons and lessons in which the Lord is calling you to accept.
Spiritual warefare is hard enough once giving your life to Christ that you can’t afford to be in rooms where the teaching is about “you” and not about understanding how you can learn the heart of God through reading his word. At least let’s be honorable and keep the Lord at the center of what we are teaching and discussing.
Hope you enjoy!

1 Corinthians 10:13 NIV
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure
it.
Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

In this week’s episode, Carolyn gives a testimony about praying to God for an opportunity to be trusted with how well she can steward her finances instead of praying to God for money.
All too often we want God to bless us with something, but we’re not willing to sacrifice something. We’re not willing to be tested. We’re not willing to take direction and be obedient to the guidance that shows up.
Let this testimony speak to your heart around how you make money, how you spend money, and how you tithe the money. If the money you’re making is only benefiting you you’re doing it wrong that’s why you keep having to strategize on how to make more.
Are you a master of money or is your master?
The sleep of a laborer is sweet, whether they eat little or much, but as for the rich, their abundance permits them no sleep.
ECCLESIASTES 5:12
Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless.
ECCLESIASTES 5:10
Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.
It’s Giving SELF RIGHTEOUS! 🤷🏾♀️
And I’m ready to address it! OLD OR NEW CHRISTIANS….
How Are We Making Disciples of ALL NATIONS when our hearts are NOTHING LIKE CHRIST!? Make it make sense! We have to learn to be a bit more gentle with our brothers and sisters or potential ones if we intend to win over their hearts to Christ. We love to rebuke and call folks out but we never want to gouge out or own eye for the sake of righteousness.
Life is messy, relationships are messy, friendship is messy. But God makes Everything for his good!

STRAIGHT DOCTRINE. STRAIGHT THEOLOGY.
Yall know I typically have some type of story time on Sundays and baby! I didn’t docu-vlog like I wanted to because once I stepped in that building It felt so sacred I just wanted to stay present in the experience. True Story… like didn’t take any pictures or anything. But just listen man! Let’s call it a church home.
If y’all haven’t learned anything else about me, let’s reiterate my appreciation for STRAIGHT TRUTH!
STRAIGHT CLARITY!
One thing I’ve learned to appreciate about myself is I like clarity in every area of my life. Teach me the truth and give me context to understand it, no gimmicks, no comedy show, straightforward teaching. I have such great love for the truth, it needs no proof, either it is or it isn’t.

In this weeks episode the Holy Spirit moves heavily through Carolyn’s spirit to affirm his desire to be after her life and calling her to himself.
The Holy Spirit will place you right where you need to be to create purpose within you, to define his love for you, to communicate his grace and mercy to you. Our father is so good to us he knows exactly the rooms and people you need to be surrounded with on the specific day that you need to be in order to hear his voice.
This is a testimony that Carolyn is sharing to remind you that when the Lord calls your name, you will know. When the Lord calls your name you won’t be able to ignore it. In fact the more you run and ignore his call on your life the stronger the pull gets, the more you feel like you’re going crazy, or losing your grip of everything.
You are worthy and he can use EVERYTHING FOR HIS GOOD!
Matthew 18:12-13
12"What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off.
In this weeks episode duo Carolyn is reflecting on how fasting opened her consciousness to intercession without a practical knowing that prayer was needed for someone she encountered. This video clip via YouTube was filmed July 8th 2024.
We hope that this testimony will encourage you to deepen your relationship with Christ and fully depend on him. Fasting was by far one of the hardest commitments Carolyn has ever experienced. True breakthrough happens on the other side of starving the flesh of things you desire.
John 8:47
Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.
Hebrews 4:12
“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
In this weeks duo episode Carolyn is sharing her take on since coming to Christ. Carolyn shares a testimony with us on how the Lord has stripped her of all the things she has chased after as her “self proclaimed purpose”.
We often think because we hold talent in a specific area it automatically because our purpose. When in actually our purpose is defined in God and how we can make more disciples and believers of all nations.
How is your talent tied to helping others understand the heart of God? Talent is not purpose. We make it purposeful in how God leads us to use it for his kingdom.
Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.
Proverbs 19:21
In this weeks episode as we get close to ending Season 1 of Following The Call, we reflect on June 6th 2024.
Carolyn was exploring her experiences of fasting and how relative the act of fasting is to the act of marriage and commitment to God! There is a different level of committed required for either. Fasting can you give a clear practice to what it feels like denying your flesh often in relationships. When you respect someone you move a whole lot differently than you do when you don’t care to earn someone else’s respect.
Carolyn has always appreciated and honored “relationship” in content as a general topic. On this journey she learning that If she desires any level of depth in the area of relationship she will be called to honor the relationship that matters most in her physical life. The one with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
JOHN 16:33 NIV
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

In this weeks episode Carolyn shares with you about her trials and tribulations while experiencing her first Daniel Fast!
This fast has shown Carolyn how fasting can really teach you about your character, your patience, your relationship with God, and his grace and love for us!
The Lord loves us so much that everyday we fall short as believers he welcomes us as our living father with forgiveness. He continues to convict our hearts which is disciplining us to condition a heart of repentance and attempt to change our behavior.
We will never be perfect here on earth. This walk requires long suffering by putting up a fight against your flesh everyday. Surrendering your will for God to do his will is one of the most profound experiences.
We hope this will encourage you this week on your journey. Continue to depend on the Lord!
Romans 3:23-24 NIV
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
In this weeks episode we navigate through Carolyn’s first Daniel Fast as she is near the end of day 2. IT WAS HARD! Fighting her flesh on this journey tempted her to rely on alcohol instead of relying on God strength.
We have to realize how cutting things away from our fleshly desires helps us depend FULLY on the Lord. You can’t bring anything to the Lord that doesn’t cost you something.
Jesus sacrificed his life to redeem us from our fallen nature. In your weakness you have to acknowledge that you are weak and can’t do it by yourself.
The Lord’s strength that will equip you to overcome your addictions. You then rely on his strength not your own.
What are you willing to give over to God as you fight through your desires, hidden addictions, and habits that lead you to sin? Break the bondage today by giving your life to Christ.
Carolyn is hoping that through her testimony you have the strength to give your weaknesses to a God that loves you. The one true God that made himself flesh so that he may extend grace to us from the suffering we experience in this fleshly body.
Featuring Stephanie Ike Okafor please seek her content on YouTube for understanding.
Luke 9:23-24
23 Then he said to them all: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.
In this weeks episode we revisit the first time Carolyn was called to a Daniel Fast. After much struggle with fighting against her fleshly desires, Carolyn was guided to fast in order to break the oppression of strongholds and certain desires.
Fasting is one of those things that truly reveals to you your level of perseverance and tests your obedience to your commitments.
1 Corinthians 10:13
No trial has confronted you except what a person can stand. God is faithful, and he will not allow you to be tried beyond your strength.
But together with the trial he will also provide a way out and the strength to bear it.
We do suggest that you watch this episode in video form via YouTube since a small portion for audible purposes was edited out. Thanks for tuning in!
In this weeks episode Carolyn addresses being concerned with guarding your heart around receiving prophetic words from anyone.
It’s extremely important to always reference your Bible when you are receiving revelation from outside the word of God!
This is something that is very common with how people fall into obsession of listening to Kingdom Spouse prophetic words which is very similar to new age tarot messages.
Just a small reminder this week to not make an idol of any preacher, teacher, or spiritual leader. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS reference your Bible. It’s the best way to test the spirit by the spirit!
