Baptism Sunday🙌🏾🙏🏾

Baptism is more than just a ceremony.
It’s a declaration. It’s a celebration.
It’s a powerful, outward expression of the work
God has already done on the inside.

And we are honored to celebrate with you. ❤️🙏🏾🙌🏾

“For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.” - Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

BLACK MEN — TOMORROW IS THE DAY! 🗣️🔥

The Westbank edition of The Conversation is happening TOMORROW, and we’re bringing Black men together for real dialogue about the issues that impact us, our families, and our communities.

No speeches. No talking at you. Just Black men having an honest conversation with each other.

📅 Tuesday, September 8
⏰ 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM
📍 Chicken’s Kitchen
921 Peters Rd., Harvey, LA

We’ve got an incredible group of brothers coming together — elected leaders, pastors, entrepreneurs, business owners, community leaders, and everyday Black men who are ready to TALK.

THIS IS A BLACK MEN ONLY EVENT.

Westbank, I need y’all in the building! Bring another brother with you and come ready to participate in The Conversation.

SEE YOU TOMORROW! ✊🏾

Some things may have come to you, but they don’t have to keep going through you. ❤️‍🩹

This week’s message, “It Stops Here,” challenged us to look honestly at the patterns we’ve inherited, recognize what Jesus is calling us to change, and have the courage to build something healthier in its place.

Because familiar doesn’t always mean healthy. Growth can feel like disloyalty. And what you change today can become somebody else’s normal tomorrow.

Swipe through these incredible notes from Sunday, save the ones you need, and send this to somebody who’s doing the hard work of growing. ❤️

It stops here. And by God’s grace, something healthier can begin here too.

What color is the triangle? 👀🔺

Here’s the problem…

There is no triangle.

Your mind saw a few pieces and filled in what was missing. 🧠

And we do the same thing in relationships.

They didn’t text back.
Their tone felt different.
Something didn’t happen the way we expected.

Then our minds start filling in the blanks.

“They must be upset with me.”
“They don’t care.”
“They did that on purpose.”

The story can feel completely true, even when we don’t have the whole truth.

So here’s a question worth asking:

What do I actually know, and what am I assuming? 🤔

Sometimes the healthiest thing we can do is leave room for truth before we decide what something means. ❤️

👉🏾 Swipe through the carousel, then watch “The Story in Your Head” as we continue Learning to Love Like Jesus.

🎥 Full message available through the link in bio.

Pause. Pray. Speak. ⏸️🙏🏾🗣️

Before you respond, pause long enough to notice what’s happening in you. 🧠❤️

Before you let hurt, fear, frustration, or assumptions do the talking, invite God into it. 🙏🏾

Then use your voice in a way that tells the truth and builds connection. 🤝🏾

Healthy communication doesn’t mean hiding what you feel. It means letting God shape what’s in your heart before it comes out of your mouth. ❤️➡️🗣️

This week, try it before one important conversation:

⏸️ PAUSE. What am I actually feeling?
🙏🏾 PRAY. Lord, speak to my heart first.
🗣️ SPEAK. Say what needs to be said with truth, grace, and love.

✨ Your challenge: Who’s one person you can practice Pause. Pray. Speak. with this week?

📌 Save this post as a reminder before the conversation.
💬 Send it to someone who may need it too.

Happy Birthday to the love of my life. ❤️

This year hasn’t been an easy one. Losing his dad has brought grief, yet through it all I’ve watched him lead with strength, love, grace, and unwavering faith. In one of the hardest seasons of his life, I’ve seen one of the most beautiful versions of him.

Watching the way you’ve continued to love your family, serve others, and trust God has made me admire you even more.

So celebrating your 40th birthday with a surprise party was my small way of honoring the incredible man you are. You deserve to be celebrated…not just today, but every day.

Happy 40th Birthday, babe. I’m so grateful I get to do life with you. Here’s to the next chapter. I love you endlessly. ❤️

GOD MUST REALLY LOVE ME!!

This year has had a lot of ups and downs… but there’s been a few constants. Our faith ✝️, our love ❤️ , our conversations 👩🏾‍❤️‍👨🏾, our inappropriate laughter 🤭, our family 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

Alaina, you are God’s answer to my prayers. Happy Birthday sweetheart. It’s an honor and privilege to watch you grow from faith to faith and glory to glory.

God’s call on your life is obvious. The way you Pastor @empowermentnola, the way you break down the Word, the way you help people through @theorganizedmoney, the way you care for our family, the way you impart into our girls, the way you cover me in prayer… you are anointed for this!

I’m looking forward to see what 45 has in store for you. And I’m blessed that I get to stand right beside you, cheering you on as God does it!!

I love you with everything I have and everything I am!! Happy Birthday baby!! 🎉🎊🎁🎂🎈 by @torreyfingal
