The Search for Truth
Disclaimer, this may not be for you, this is a real conversation, arguably a controversial conversation but a much needed conversation about the truth. In this podcast we get into some hard questions, we get into this uptick trend in our current society. Some call it new age spiritualism, but whatever you call it, although you may think it is good is it God?
Are horoscopes bad? I love God and use crystals to clean bad energy, is that wrong? I call myself a believer but I align my Chakras to release the bad energy inside me, what's so wrong with that? I pray to my ancestors for guidance and strength. I want to know and understand where I come from, and when I was searching for truth I realized my ancestors served other gods, and that has led me to question why I am in this "White man's religion called Christianity?" What's wrong with smudging my house with sage sticks? God gave all these things to us so how can you say it's idolatry?
Hosea 4:6 says "People perish for lack of knowledge" this is truth, the truth of God's word for His people for such a time as this.
Now, I am not condemning anyway (but judging righteously in a loving way) We all, at one point did not know the truth of God's words and didn't walk in them. I pray you receive this in love and you allow God's word to minister to your heart. I pray that you have a supernatural experience with God that changes you forever and you begin to live boldly for Him. God is calling His children to boldness. In the age of social influence, the voice of the world has become louder than the voice of His Kingdom. It is time out for playing and time to get serious.

Which God
Hey friends! We are back with a new season! We are so exited to be back and I truly missed talking to y'all!
Which God do you know? The one the world tells you to know, the one your parents told you about or do you know Him for yourself? I pray that after listening to this you begin to seek God for yourself in a fresh knew way. I pray you have a supernatural experience with Him that is so personal and intimate it changes your life forever!
Episode 10 " Do it Like Peter"
Ever been stuck, questioning your calling or life's purpose? Has God ever called you to something that seems so surreal that you are beginning to doubt? Read the story of Peter defying the laws of buoyancy and walking on water. Why was he so confident? Why would he dare to do the unimaginable? Because he had confidence in the One who called him. Join me as I encourage you to step out of the boat!
Episode 9 Grace
You are CANCELLED! Nah.. You can't be out here cancelling folks friend. That's not Kingdom culture! Join me as I dive into Grace, what it is, how we get it, and why we also need to give it. As always Be Encouraged!!!
Black Christian-In a world divided how to you choose a side?
In this episode I dive into the current state of our world and all of the atrocities happening. I get real and raw about my feelings, why I had to go ghost for a while and the battle of being black and being a christian. If you are struggling with your faith and how to handle all the things you are feeling I urge you to take a listen. As always you can hop onto www.facebook.com/shanyirobinson to further discuss. Stay encouraged!
Empty Bleachers
What do you do when your bleachers are empty? When you are walking out your purpose and doing what God called you to do but no one is supporting you. There is no cheering squad. Join me as I talk about what to do when your bleachers are empty! I hope this blesses you and encourages you to keep going! Be encouraged.
Episode 6: Heal
God can use you broken, but He wants you whole. As we are in celebration of what Christ did for us on this Good Friday, remember that He died so you can be whole. You now have access to healing. Join me as I discuss brokenness, wholeness, healing, generation cycles and therapy! Yes yes yes you can love Jesus and still go to therapy! It is time to heal! People are depending on it!
Episode 5. What are you Eating?
In this episode we dive into the importance of what we allow to enter our hearts. God tells us to guard our heart because out of it flows the issues of life. In order to guard our hearts we have to watch what we eat and I am not talking about cheeseburgers!
As always Be Encouraged.

Episode 4. Detours
Feel like you are on a detour? Had a destination in mind and everything was going smoothly until something happened and detoured you. Join me as I discuss my detour experience, tell you how I handled it and show you how Jesus had to take a detour as well. Now listen I made a few errors in my recollection but hey I am human.
It was Israel and not Jerusalem
It was vs 18 when Jesus read the Samaritan woman not verse 28.
Charge it to mind and not my heart. Nevertheless I hope it encourages you and uplifts you in this time of uncertainty,
