I loved when Devon talked about “celebrating the fall”, being kind, caring and considerate. Celebrating what the fall taught us about ourselves without judgement. What stood out the most to me is when he discussed deciding how you want to be and not allowing any person or thing to get you out of being that. It was all beautifully put and something I don’t think is discussed often enough. ❤ Walk in Love
Walking in LOVE!!! This is something that has to be intentional until we bring out who we were designed to be. With society pushing labels and influencing the way we think, we must go back to our roots, which is Love created in God's image. It starts with taking care of ourselves to be an example and give to others. I believe coaches, mentors, and therapists are key to helping us to dismantle thoughts, beliefs, and habits that are not serving our journey to emotional intelligence. This topic doesn't get talked about enough! I really enjoyed the way Coach Raquel guided the interview and how Devon explained his views of walking in LOVE. We need more men leading like him.
This was so good! I love where you guys talked about power and love and the connection between the two. I can be in love, walk in love, and still be in my power, power of love.
Great discussion Folks. Blessings to you, Devon and continue to do what you are doing; being so Open with your Personal Life and really being a Blessing In the Name of the Lord to Anyone listening to you🙏🏽❤
I think that what DeVon was saying was loss in interpretation, when he was describing maintaining one's power to show up as oneself, independent of how the other person shows up. I understood him as saying, for example, if I am a person who loves to hug every time we meet, and I love deep conversations to get to know a person, I should be true to myself and show up with a hug, even if the other person doesn't hug me first. I should continue to engage in deep conversations to get to know the person, even if they communicate in a way that is shut down and/or shallow. This is me remaining who I am, despite how another person shows up. This empowers me to assess whether or not my preference for hugs and deep conversation is compatible with the other person in a way that can result in a healthy relationship. However, if I change and choose not to hug because they don't hug, and I stop asking deep questions because they don't like deep conversations, I have given them the power to change how I interact based on how they interact. I have also lost the ability to access whether or not we are truly compatible, because I am morphing into a person I am not to be accommodating. So, I understood his point of view to be, to make sure we hold on to our power to show up as ourselves, by showing up as ourselves, no matter how the other person shows up. I loved the interview. This was awesome.❣💯
i agree, in context thats probably on point because he said that at other points and it is true, we ought to be with others from who we are in God not responsive to what others may be reflecting from a unprocessed state. Great recap 🫶🏼
Some men think that 1 Cor 11:8 justifies their belief that the woman was made for the man and to cater to him. They don’t realize love is what can I do for you, not what you can do for me. Naturally if we love each other that reciprocation should be there.
hmm, i think most parenting advice, growth and research comes from parents that failed or know from experience what to have done or do better. Marriage is very case by case basis and definitely a divorced person can build others by sharing there experiences. Hindsight is powerful.
He’s not telling you how to stay married but rather his experience and lessons . Go listen to his sermons if you’re only basing your opinion on this one interview.

So True about core values.

This was a perfect example! Thank you
My favorite take away was the talk about labels, especially the label Christian. I can relate and I agree. This was a good listen. Return back to love

Considering the fact he’s divorced he shouldn’t be considered to give advice
