As an extension of the Positively Positive platform, this podcast also connects with real-world experiences, including visiting different churches and sharing what’s being done well, what stands out, and how faith is actively impacting communities—all through a lens of encouragement and respect. If you’ve ever felt stuck, uncertain, or like your progress doesn’t match your effort—this podcast is for you. Because sometimes, what feels like a delay… is actually preparation.

Episode 8 (Season 1 Finale): Protected — When You Realize God Kept You

<p>In the Season 1 finale of I Am Positively Positive, I share a deeply personal and honest conversation surrounding a recent carbon monoxide situation our family experienced—and how it completely shifted my perspective on life, gratitude, faith, and God’s protection.</p><p><br></p><p>Sometimes we don’t fully realize how much God has been keeping us until we look back and understand what could have happened. This episode reflects on the fragility of life, the peace that comes from knowing we are held securely in God’s hands, and the reminder that His protection is often working even when we cannot see it.</p><p><br></p><p>Anchored in scriptures about God’s covering, safety, and faithfulness, this conversation explores the difference between living in fear and living with perspective. It is not about pretending difficult moments don’t happen—it’s about recognizing that God remains present, faithful, and near even in life’s unexpected and frightening moments.</p><p><br></p><p>From “The name of the Lord is a strong tower” to “He gives His angels charge concerning us,” this episode is filled with reflection, gratitude, and encouragement for anyone who has ever survived something they still haven’t fully processed.</p><p><br></p><p>Sometimes protection changes us more than promotion does.</p><p><br></p><p>If you need encouragement, perspective, or simply a reminder that God still protects and preserves, this episode is for you.</p><p><br></p><p>Stay positively positive.</p><p></p>

Episode 7: The Tension of Becoming

<p>In this episode of I Am Positively Positive, we’re talking about the tension, responsibility, and growth that comes with becoming the person God is calling you to be. Growth is exciting—but it also carries weight. The deeper the calling, the deeper the trust required.</p><p><br></p><p>Anchored in Luke 5:4, where Jesus tells Peter to “launch out into the deep” after a night of frustration and empty nets, this conversation explores what it looks like to obey God beyond disappointment, fear, comfort, and shallow places. Sometimes God calls us deeper after seasons that made us tired, uncertain, or discouraged—and often the version of us emerging from those seasons is capable of carrying far more than the version that first started the journey.</p><p><br>This episode also speaks honestly about leadership, pressure, responsibility, and the reality that the people you’re trying to bless may not always understand the growth required to move everyone forward. Becoming comes with stretching. It comes with stewardship. It comes with learning how to navigate narrow roads with wisdom and grace.</p><p><br></p><p>You’re not just growing upward—you’re growing into capacity.</p><p><br></p><p>If you’ve been feeling the weight of growth, transition, responsibility, or purpose lately, this episode is for you.</p><p><br></p><p>Stay positively positive.</p><p><br></p>

Episode 6 - The Becoming Season

<p></p><p>The Becoming Season</p><p>What do you do when life no longer fits who you used to be… but you haven’t fully stepped into who you’re becoming?</p><p>In Episode 6 of the I Am Positively Positive Podcast, Stephen reflects on the uncomfortable but necessary process of growth, transition, and transformation through the lens of Philippians 1:6:</p><p>This episode explores how becoming often requires breaking, shifting, stretching, and enduring seasons that don’t always make sense while you’re in them. Using the analogy of baking a cake, Stephen unpacks how every ingredient must leave its old form behind before something meaningful can be created.</p><p>If you’ve been feeling stretched, uncertain, or in-between seasons, this conversation is a reminder that God still finishes what He starts.</p><p>You are not forgotten. You are not behind. You are becoming.</p><p></p>
