Confession Pt. II| Blog| @coachdpolite @trackstarz
Last week we began to exam Romans 10:9-10 and we discussed the importance of not only believing in JESUS but also confessing JESUS. As we go back there this week, we will focus on who is this JESUS that we are confessing. The scriptures teach us not to just confess JESUS, but to confess the […]
Confession| Blog| @coachdpolite @trackstarz
Much of what is talked about concerning the word confession is mentioned in reference to one confessing their sins. Confessing one’s sins is mentioned in the Bible and Christians are encouraged to do so. 1 John 1:9 reads as such: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, […]
Birthday Prayer| Blog| @coachdpolite @trackstarz
I celebrated a birthday a few weeks ago and a sister-in-CHRIST left me this prayer. May it bless you as it has blessed me: May you have a happy birthday, filled with God’s presence and grace.

A few summers back, I received my Master’s Degree and a few days later, I accepted a minimum wage job in a warehouse out of necessity. At the time, I just knew that I would not be working there that long. I figured I would be there two weeks max and then back to being […]
A Prophet’s Response – Life of Elijah | Blog| @coachdpolite @trackstarz
1 Kings 17:17-20 I think it is good for us to recognize that prophets of GOD were not omniscient beings. They did not always know what was going on. They only knew what GOD revealed to them. Sometimes we can make the prophets out to be superhuman beings but this is not the case. The […]
First Response – Life of Elijah | Blog| @coachdpolite @trackstarz
1 Kings 17:17-18 Now it happened after these things that the son of the woman who owned the house became sick. And his sickness was so serious that there was no breath left in him. 18 So she said to Elijah, “What have I to do with you, O man of God? Have you come to […]
Little Flour, Lotta Faith – Life of Elijah | Blog| @coachdpolite @trackstarz
1 Kings 17:12-16 Last week we ended the post speaking on how the widow focused on her situation and the little that she had. Elijah responded by saying, “Do not fear…” Why? Because GOD says…..! That’s it. There is nothing else to add. DO NOT FEAR, BECAUSE GOD SAYS! This is so awesome because Elijah […]
Offend Offenses |The Race Problem| @coachdpolite @trackstarz
A few weeks ago in The Race Problem series, I stated, “The willingness to engage other cultures and races is a step in the right direction as we navigate the race problem in this country or in your organization.” I truly stand by that statement, but there is a way to go about that engagement. […]
Best Looking Black |The Race Problem| @CoachDPolite @Trackstarz
Before I dive deeper into this topic, I think it’s right that I provide a little context. I grew up in eastern North Carolina in a predominately white area. I went to a predominately white high school. When I graduated in the year 2002, we were still voting for senior superlatives according to race. Instead […]
Let’s Talk |The Race Problem| @CoachDPolite @Trackstarz
A few months ago I watched CNN’s documentary series “The Sixties.” During that time in the United States of America the atmosphere was thick with conversations, thoughts, and feelings on race. That decade is marred with the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr., as all three were deeply woven […]
