#756 “Boy, Don’t Shrink Your Thinking" | Proverbs 24
Have you ever felt limited by what you can see right now—your circumstances, your past, or your current season? This episode rooted in Proverbs 24 is for anyone who feels stuck, shrinking their thinking, or quietly wondering if there’s more for their life.In this conversation, we unpack a simple but life-altering truth: your view of the future is often shaped by what you’ve already seen—but God’s vision goes far beyond your present. Inspired by wisdom passed down from Pops—“Boy, don’t shrink your thinking”—this episode invites you to step out of comparison, stop desiring what isn’t meant for you, and start walking confidently in God’s will for your life.Proverbs 24 teaches us that wisdom isn’t accidental—it’s rooted, tested, consistent, and costly. And that cost looks like this:Doing right by people and doing business the right wayStanding firm, staying steadfast, and remaining humbleSeeking wise counsel and refusing shortcutsWorking your land instead of envying someone else’sProtecting your name, your integrity, and your callingThis episode is a reminder that desiring what someone else has will always leave you empty—but desiring God’s will stretches you into who you were created to be. When you walk with God, stay diligent, and stop blocking the blessing, your life begins to align with purpose, peace, and wisdom.If you’re ready to stop shrinking, start trusting, and build your life around your God-given gifts—this one’s for you.👉 Press play and let wisdom expand your vision.Come and join us at The VIBE Room

#755 Nichelle Early
What if success isn’t about chasing opportunity—but about being prepared long before it ever shows up?In this powerful podcast conversation, Nichelle Early reveals how faith, leadership, and preparation quietly aligned before the breakthrough anyone else could see.Most people search for the right moment.Very few understand the right preparation.Nichelle Early gave her life to Christ at seven, preached her first sermon at eleven, and was ordained at seventeen—yet her path didn’t move straight toward visibility or applause. Instead, it led through corporate IT, high-pressure leadership, government contracting, and seasons that felt hidden but were doing far more than she realized at the time.This episode explores a simple but challenging idea passed down from my Pops:“Success is nothing more than preparation and opportunity meeting.”But here’s where the tension lives:👉 How do you know what you’re being prepared for?👉 How do you recognize when the opportunity is actually meant for you?👉 And why do we complicate what was designed to be simple?Through Nichelle’s journey—from founding BreakForth Solutions to leading BreakForth Ministries—we uncover what it looks like to choose peace over pressure, alignment over ambition, and wisdom over speed.This isn’t a conversation about hustle or shortcuts.It’s about how your heart, mind, and skills are shaped over time—so when the moment arrives, you don’t have to scramble to become someone new.If you’ve ever questioned whether your current season is preparation or delay…this conversation might reframe everything.🎧 Listen or Watch until the end for the one decision that simplifies success more than any strategy ever could:Do you want your best—or God’s best?Come and experience THE VIBE ROOMMarch 11 in Carlsbad, California
