Love you, B RESOURCES/LINKS Guest Yvonne Orji https://www.yvonneorji.com/ Bamboozled By Jesus: How God Tricked Me into the Life of My Dreams The wait is sexy | Yvonne Orji | TEDxWilmingtonSalon Quote If I know who I am and God called me to be here, then clearly who I am is good enough for here. Takeaways God has a sense of humor and wants us to have a relationship with Him. The perception of God as vengeful is often based on out-of-context scripture and human perception. Yvonne Orji discovered her calling in comedy and uses humor to reach people. Yvonne's book, 'Bamboozled by Jesus,' shares her journey of faith and how she turned losses into wins. Believe in yourself and your abilities, even when others may doubt you. Stay true to your values and don't compromise them for success. Favor is when God opens doors and blesses you in unexpected ways. Don't settle for less than you deserve in relationships; wait for someone who appreciates and supports you fully. Success is not always measured by societal standards; trust in God's plan for your life. ⋇ Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here ⋇ Bianca’s new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option ⋇ The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available. ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors!
