Soooo....I created a Bible App for Bible Scholars and growing Pastors.
A Bible App that breaks down the Hebrew and Greek Words, while allowing you to create your own Bible studies, and even the ability to match your questions to The Bible.

Many people are stuck in negative cycles, bad thought patterns, and terrible addictions for one reason and one reason only: a lack of worship of God.
Now, this is not totally your fault. For many of you reading this, worship has only ever been framed as a church activity, or a scheduled section of a Sunday service.
When you hear "praise and worship," the easiest thing to picture is song and dance.
Because of that, you probably don't view worship as the actual freedom card God put in place to break you out of bondage.
But look at what happens when you examine Scripture:
Look at Jehoshaphat and the singers in 2 Chronicles 20:21-22. They didn't lead with their swords, but they led with worship, resulting in God ambushing their enemies the moment they started praising
Look at the fall of Jericho in Joshua 6:20. Those walls didn't come down from battering rams, but they fell at the CONSISTENT sound of trumpets and a unified shouts.
Look at Paul and Silas in Acts 16:25-26. Locked in the deepest part of a prison, they sang praises at midnight, resulting in a earthquake that shook the foundations and loosed everyone's chains.
Or if we were to observe tormenting spirits with David and Saul in 1 Samuel 16:23. The evil spirit tormented King Saul, but when David played his harp, Saul was freed, and the spirit departed.
Even the prophet Isaiah shows us in Isaiah 26:3 that God will keep in perfect peace the person whose mind is stayed on Him.
There are so many different examples in Scripture proving one thing: your freedom is on the other side of worship.
So here is what you need to do.
Put your effort into understanding what real worship actually looks like.
It means taking the focus off yourself, and not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually bowing down to God.
It is acknowledging Him as greater. Acknowledging Him as King, as Lord, and as Savior.
When you do that, things change.
Now, again, if you're in America, I'll say this lightly: this struggle isn't entirely your fault.
In America, we have no concept of honoring a king. Other places across the world understand royalty and submission, but here, we are actually conditioned to reject kings.
Because of that, you have to shift your mindset on how kingdoms and kingships work so you can submit to God cleanly and willingly.
God is not your elected official (Say that part again out loud if you didn't catch it).
As long as you approach Him like an elected official instead of your King, it will always be harder to follow Him the way He deserves to be followed. He's willing to be our Friend in all of this, but the gate of worship preceeds that.
If you read this far, I appreciate you, and may the Lord God of Israel, the Lord God of all, bless you and keep you in all that you do. Amen.

Video is wayyyyyyyyy too long.
Man, the kid really stood on business with that "I don't feel like it" energy.
Mom told him to clean the room before they left. He said he'd do it later, brother even tried to warn him, and he just kept doubling down like nothing was gonna happen. Then dad walks in, hears the whole thing, and the energy shifts real quick.
The basketball ban is wild though. One chore and you're off the team until you get right with mama. That's a heavy consequence for not cleaning a room, but you can also see the dad's point — he's treating it like "if you can't do the small stuff when you're told, how are you gonna handle bigger stuff?" And the whole "what if something happened and you never got to make it right" part is him trying to put some weight on it.
Kid went from "I don't care" outside to "yes sir" real fast once the sports were on the table. Classic.

9 tax hygiene considerations for content creators:*
1) Create an LLC (applies in most creator businesses)
2) Open a separate business bank account
3) Apply for an EIN number with the IRS (takes 5 minutes)
4) Keep up-to-date books for all transactions / save receipts (I like Quickbooks Online)
5) Work with a tax professional to maximize deductions
6) Open retirement accounts (e.g. Roth IRA, Solo 401(k), etc.) for tax-deferred and tax free retirement options
7) Automate reminders for estimated tax payments (reduces risk of unnecessary penalties/interest)
8) Set aside 25-30% of revenue into a separate account for taxes
9) If above ~$100k in profits, assess whether an S Corp election is suitable
*Disclaimer: This is not tax advice. Work with a tax pro for advice tailored to your unique situation.
When people who truly bout it are doing the thing....the energy will always hit different.
Michael Jackson impersonator Looze Cannon GOES OFF on Plaqueboymax for disrespecting him and saying he’s not a real artist, firing back by dissing his “In the Booth” series and claiming he’s better than Plaqueboymax will ever be 👀

Honestly reflects real life. What looks like a lot becomes not enough if you don't plan accordingly.

YEEERRRRR sorry for the late notice but no stream today. Having some temporary tech issues.
But I still got you with an unboxing video of the Zelda 40th Anniversary Nintendo Switch 2 edition with the Pro 2 controller. Go ahead and peep that!

For all my brothers that struggle with LUST...
And don't deny it. You know exactly what I am talking about.
with a game well under the $100M threshold at that. They more than likely broke or are close to breaking even before Break Friday.
