ICYMI: Convo Lab Replay – Reflections with Yedidah Spann

In case you missed it…

Last week (on Veteran’s Day), I went live with my friend Yedidah Spann to celebrate and honor the life of our friend Khalilah Wilbourn – you’re sure to glean some encouragement and wisdom as we ran the gamut from caterpillars to butterflies, A to Z, and everything in between! Sharing is caring…

Seed or Potential Tree?

It’s a matter of perspective…

I forgot that I’d picked up an acorn during my walk the other day. I woke up with the thought and image of Bugs Bunny (1 million martians – just add water) and a tree growing in my pocket!🤣

👉It’s important that we move from potential to productivity. A LOT can be accomplished in the remaining weeks of 2025; let’s make each day count. #HarvestGoals

What seed will you plant today? Get your seed in the ground!!! 🌱

Blessings, Kayren

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”
(John 12:24 KJV)

“I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains [just one grain; it never becomes more but lives] by itself alone. But if it dies, it produces many others and yields a rich harvest.”
(John 12:24 AMPC)

“I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone [just one grain, never more]. But if it dies, it produces much grain and yields a harvest.”
(John 12:24 AMP)

“24-25 “Listen carefully: Unless a grain of wheat is buried in the ground, dead to the world, it is never any more than a grain of wheat. But if it is buried, it sprouts and reproduces itself many times over. In the same way, anyone who holds on to life just as it is destroys that life. But if you let it go, reckless in your love, you’ll have it forever, real and eternal.”
(John 12:24-25 MSG)

It ALL Counts

Can I keep it real?💯 I just finished vacuuming and mopping the house…only to realize I wasn’t wearing my step tracker.😒 Granted, I know the cardio was good for me (with sweat to prove my exertion), but it would’ve been nice to have had those steps recorded.

Nevertheless, God is always watching our actions, and everything is being recorded.👀

He sees. He knows. 

Just a reminder (and there are PLENTY in God’s Word)…

“The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch upon the evil and the good.”
(Proverbs 15:3 AMPC)

I’ll say it again for those in the back…

“Mark well that God doesn’t miss a move you make;
he’s aware of every step you take.”
(Proverbs 5:21 MSG)

👉Every choice matters. Every decision counts. May we live in a way that reflects this truth.

Blessings as we press toward the mark in excellence, Kayren

p.s. THANK YOU to our VETERANS – we honor you and appreciate your sacrifice!!!
This is NOT an afterthought (it’s always top of mind for me – both my husband and my father are veterans)

“For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.”
(I Peter 3:12 KJV)

Consecrated or Contaminated

Hey friend, I just dropped a fresh podcast episode with you in mind – check out Consecrated or Contaminated where we’ll explore:

  • How to remain set apart for God’s use in the midst of worldly distractions 
  • What the process of becoming holy entails
  • Why it’s necessary to focus on God’s holiness as we make daily choices
  • Why we need the Holy Spirit to empowering us to live righteously 

📍I’m SO GRATEFUL God gives us a roadmap 🗺️ and we don’t have to figure it out on our own…🙌

👉I hope you’ll press play and take 10 minutes to build yourself up in God’s Word today!

Abundant blessings, Kayren

“15 But as the One Who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all your conduct and manner of living.

16 For it is written, You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

(I Peter 1:15-16, AMPC)

“Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.”

(Philippians 4:9, KJV)

Practice what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and model your way of living on it, and the God of peace (of untroubled, undisturbed well-being) will be with you.”

(Philippians 4:9, AMPC)

Spiritual Voyeurism

🤔Have you been oh-so-intently watching others do what God has called YOU to do in this season? Asking for a friend…👀

Nothing wrong with watching and imitating…Paul exhorts us in I Corinthians 11:1, “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.”

But watching without intent to take your own obedient action is just…wrong.

Why? Because delayed obedience = disobedience.

Let’s sit with that for a minute. Or two…

I was convicted. 🤯 I repented. 🙏🏽 I’m starting now. 😇

👉 Join me LIVE on YouTube in The Convo Lab for “Let’s Talk About Spiritual Voyeurism” at 6pm ET tonight (Thursday, 9/11/25) and pursue taking the next right step according to God’s Word.

Self-willed

Ohmigracious…”dignities” in this scripture is all about WORSHIP!😯🔥”Speaking evil” indicates lightly esteeming and not giving proper respect due…in essence, disrespecting authority and glory of the One Who is to be magnified above all.

When we deny God His rightful due praise, honor, and glory (because of disobedience, for example), we are essentially enthroning OUR will. This encompasses our desire to be seen and our need to be affirmed/appreciated/validated.

Ouch. 

Have we been walking after the flesh? May we humble ourselves under God’s mighty hand (I Peter 5:6).

Blessings as I sit with this from a repentant heart, Kayren

“9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.”

(II Peter 2:9-10, KJV)

“9 then [in light of the fact that all this is true, be sure that] the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and how to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, 10 and especially [d]those who indulge in the corrupt passions of the sin nature, and despise authority.

Presumptuous and reckless, self-willed and arrogant [creatures, despising the majesty of the Lord], they do not tremble when they revile angelic majesties,”

(II Peter 2:9-10, AMP)

DIS-Illusioned

Awakening from stupor induced by the world’s intoxicants can feel unreal – but it’s VERY REAL…

disillusioned (verb) – to realize that a belief or an ideal is false

We often think being disillusioned is a negative thing – especially when it’s associated with feeling disappointed, discouraged, downcast, or disenchanted.

But what if we flipped it and began to realize that it’s a GOOD thing to shed the illusion of something that wasn’t even real to begin with?

We might have a different perspective indeed. 

We would be DELIGHTED to be undeceived and enlightened. Selah.

May the truth of God’s Word illuminate every illusion as we choose to walk in His Light.💡

Blessings, Kayren

“26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father,
even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.”

(John 15:26-27)

“13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.”

(John 16:13-14)

“We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us.
Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.”

(I John 4:6)
