Katt Williams' interview with Shannon Sharpe has gone viral and created a lot of buzz. Jason Whitlock has used this opportunity to express his strong opinions about the inauthenticity of ESPN's Stephen A. Smith. In this episode, Whitlock discusses Smith's background, including his high school life in New York City, his controversial college basketball career at Winston-Salem State, and how he became the face of sports media. Based on his extensive research and investigation, Whitlock exposes the inconsistencies in Smith's life story and wonders who he really is. Additionally, Warren Sapp, a Super Bowl champion and Pro Football Hall of Famer, joins the show to talk about the top headlines in the NFL as we approach the playoff season.
When you encounter opportunities to serve the Lord, how do you respond? God wants us to be servants willing to seek His specific plan for our life and to do whatever He calls us to do. He uniquely gifts His followers to serve according to His will. But if we’ve already decided what we can’t, won’t, or are ill-equipped to do, then we’re acting by our own will. We don’t want to miss the blessings that come with trusting God.
You may serve the Lord as a godly parent, as an employee who shares the gospel with coworkers, or as a friend who listens to people who are hurting. There is no restriction on what God can do with a willing heart. The strength of His Spirit overcomes human limitations. Don’t have enough courage? God can fix that. Don’t have the right skills? God can fix that too.
Laying down our excuses is the wisest thing we can do to serve the Lord. Trust that He will empower you to accomplish whatever He calls you to do—and will see to it that you are properly equipped and trained (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 13:20-21). All He asks of you is that you say yes.
