REAL TALK WEEKLY
The Weekly Wake-Up Call You Didn’t Know You Needed!
Hey Real Talk Family,
This week, we’re flipping the script on regret, reclaiming our identity, and rediscovering the fire that life tried to put out. It’s time to stop asking for permission to rise and start asking yourself the one question that can change everything:
What changed about you?
Was it disappointment? Betrayal? A detour that made you forget who you are? Whatever it was—it doesn’t get the final say. Your future is not defined by your fall, but by your decision to rise.
Somewhere along the way, life knocked you off center, and you started adapting to survive instead of showing up to thrive. But just because you had to shift gears doesn’t mean you lost your power. The dream is still alive. The purpose is still burning underneath the rubble. And God is still in the business of resurrection—especially when it comes to the parts of you that were buried by fear, failure, or fatigue.
So this week, I challenge you to stop rehearsing what went wrong and start remembering what’s still right: your calling, your resilience, your capacity to rebuild. You don’t need to go back to who you were—you just need to rise as who you were always meant to be. The world doesn’t need your perfection. It needs your permission to believe again. Let’s go.

REFLECTION OF THE WEEK
Ask yourself: What changed about me… and is that change serving who I’m becoming?
Maybe life humbled you. Maybe people hurt you. Maybe you just got tired. But here’s the truth: You’re still here. And that means your assignment is still alive.
🙏 PRAYER OF THE WEEK
God, help me recognize when I’ve drifted from the person You created me to be. Give me the courage to tear down walls, rebuild bridges, and believe again. Remind me that no matter how far I’ve wandered, I’m only one decision away from getting back to purpose. Amen.
FAITH & FUN CORNER:
Q: Why didn’t Noah play cards on the Ark?
A: Because he was always standing on the deck!
Q: What did David say when he beat Goliath?
A: “That’s how I rock!”
Q: Why don’t churches ever have Wi-Fi?
A: Because they don’t want people connecting to the wrong source!
CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK
Reclaim your faith in yourself. Write down three words that describe the version of you you’ve lost along the way (e.g., bold, focused, joyful). Now speak them daily as I AM declarations.
➡️ Example: “I am bold. I am focused. I am joyful. "Say it until you believe it again.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“The world may have changed you, but your calling hasn’t changed one bit. Get back to who God says you are.” — Reginald D
THIS WEEK’S MANTRA: I’M STILL HERE FOR A REASON
“I’ve lost some things. I’ve been through some things. But I’m still standing, still believing, and still called. Purpose doesn’t expire—so I won’t either.”
CLOSING SCRIPTURE
“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine…” — Ephesians 3:20 (NIV)
Let this remind you: God didn’t just plan your comeback—He already factored in your delay.
NEED PRAYER OR ENCOURAGEMENT?
You're never walking alone. Reach out—we’ll stand with you.
