This is episode 176. God wants you to know two simple things. What is yours is yours and whatever He calls you to do, he will equip you with strategy, even if you're scared.

Breaking Bad Soul Ties: God will heal a heart He didn't break!

God is trying to get your attention, to remind you that he hasn't changed his mind about you!

Sometimes your "YES" turned into a "No" and that's okay.

Struggling with being invited or accepted. This episode is for you. Experience the life of King David and apply Biblical principles to your personal and professional journey.

Here are the three prayers I am avoiding in 2023. 

hope everyone had an amazing Christmas Day! Mine was good. Living in California makes me even more grateful for the time I get to spend with my family in Seattle each December.

In addition to the time I spend with family, there’s a lot of time for reflection. Three things have been on my mind this week;

Setting Your Intention for 2023

Be honest with yourself about the process of creating a new year resolution. Have you had success with consistency? Do you remember last years resolution? Was your progress “traceable?”

Here’s my plan

This is a message I preached on Sunday, December 11, 2022, at the Progressive Church of God In Christ in Sacramento, California. It chronicles the experiences of Davis and his journey to forgiveness and redemption after making a huge series of mistakes.

I share an update on my journey to minimalism and all the things I forgot quicker than I learned. I have been really inspired by Joshua Becker's "The Minimalist Home" and the "Our Minimalist Life" YouTube Channel.

#165 The Dangers of Porn-Informed Sexuality

Dominiquebeaumonte.com

Juanita Bynum is having a prayer conference and y'all are talking about it so...... I'm weighing in.

Maybe your position is the problem?

On Friday night, I decided to attend a high school football game in my neighborhood. By the second half, I made a few friends who were fathers of players sitting outside of the gate in lawn chairs.

One of the dads was adamant that the team's inability to score was due to the fact that the starters were all sons of the coaches.

After a bout 20 minutes of his complaints, I found myself deeply annoyed.

Listen to find out what lesson I learned! 

The doors were closed out of fear. The disciples were crippled by their inability to control what was next.

Jesus uses the text to teach us that he doesn’t need an open door to appear in order for his will to be accomplished.

Rest assured that with Jesus, the door is obsolete!

The Supreme Court done overturned Rose vs. Wade yall. These are my thoughts.

I am reading James Clear's Atomic Habits and wanted to share thoughts from the book.

Uncovering false spiritual authority

I think I'm canceling Mo'Nique and Jada for Good. I'm adding Johnny Depp and Amber to the prayer list. I think Shaunie (O'Neil) needs to get off of Basketball wives now that her husband is a pastor.

This episode is about risk-taking!

God gave me the freedom I needed to focus through some unlikely and uncomfortable circumstances. I get it now! I am praying and sharing with others who may be in similar seasons of life.

My trip to Bath and Body Works helped me to realize that we often forget about Black-Owned businesses. This is my tribute to them. Buy a black-owned candle rather than participating in the prostituting of Black culture at big box stores.

DO you remember the story in the Bible about Joseph, Jacob’s son? Joseph was eventually sold into slavery by his brothers, manipulated by his owner’s wife and eventually vindicated and promoted. Joseph had a gift for dreaming and interpreting dreams. It created a stumbling block for him among those that were supposed to love him the most. “HERE COMES THAT DREAMER," they said when the see him come from afar off.

What did David mean in Psalm 23:5 when he said "my cup runneth over?"

Over the last few weeks, I’ve endeavored to enjoy a cup of coffee at home. While I’ve had one or two slip-ups, I’ve been relatively successful. In an effort to encourage me, I’ve purchased a variety of flavored non-dairy creamers and themed mugs.

I forgot what was on the cup when it took it out of the cabinet, rinsed it, and placed it on the Keurig plate. My goal was to make half of a cup because it was pretty late at night. After the coffee brewed, I noted the sheer irony…. A half-empty cup of coffee in a cup with the words, “my cup runneth over.”

Naturally, my mind wandered and I started asking questions?

What did David mean in Psalm 23:5?

This is an edited version of a lesson shared on Sunday, January 9, 2022. The lesson chronicles the experience of Jacob, who is on a journey back to his hometown of Beersheba. God interrupts his trip in an unexpected way, building upon the promise he made to Jacob's father and grandfather. I discuss how we can use Jacob's experience to better understand the "why" of the seasons we endure.

I watched all of the seasons of Insecure and am so sad to see it go! In this episode, I recap my experience with the last season and discuss some takeaways that resonated with me.

You can focus!

If you’re like me, focus has three true enemies.

Here are some questions to spend time reflecting on:

1 Thessalonians 4:11 says "And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;"

Did you know that minding your own business is a tribute to God!? What do you neglect when you focus on other folk's "stuff?"

It's a quicky! This is for someone struggling! God wants to help you!

I'm joined by my sisters, Whitney and LaPria Genevro for this week's "Ask Domo."

I’m in a book club and one of the members always shows up late and leaves early. We are busy moms so I’m not bothered by that much. The problem is that she dominates the discussion and then gets frustrated, claiming she has to leave. Coincidentally, our group reads a lot about stress management and anger. Because I invited her to the book club, I feel a little obligated to tell her how she is viewed by the group. What should I avoid saying?

I broke it off with my fiancé. It was an emotionally draining situation where she would constantly refer to her father for important matters. When we would get in arguments, she would always start with “well, I talked to my dad and….” Eventually, I couldn’t handle it anymore. The problem is that her mother and I had an understanding and agreed the relationship was not progressing. Since we broke up, my almost mother-in-law regularly tries to hook me up with other girls. Is this wise? 

My boss tried to add me on Facebook. I declined. In a meeting, she casually mentioned it as a way to build trust. Her demeanor and tone made me feel like she was pressuring me to add her. She told me to “consider the impact it would have on our relationship.” I was speechless. How do I tell Her ABSOLUTELY NOT?!

I ran into my pastor at Safeway. She had a bottle of wine in her basket and I was doing everything in my power to avoid focusing on it. I’m a recovering alcoholic so it really shocked and concerned me. I want to know what her philosophy is on drinking in order to make a decision about my membership. How do I broach this discussion?

I decided it was time to ramble about my observations and feelings about marriage and how I'm entertaining discussions about singleness as a 40-year-old human who happens to preach and be saved. I hope this resonates with people.

This is episode #112 and I'm answering listener questions! Y'all tell Oprah and T. D. Jakes to HOLLA! #Oprah #Gayle #TDJAKES #Advice

I have a small business that I’ve had for 7 years. My sister-in-law talked my brother into paying someone else  MORE than I would have charged because she was mad that I started charging family members. How can I share with my family that this hurt me?

My boyfriend and I were invited to a couples trip at the last minute, replacing another couple. We are believers and many of the activities and accommodations aren’t things we do. Should we cancel or see where there are concessions?

I’m dating a woman who is perfect for me in just about every way. The only challenge is that I don’t like weave. She changes her hairstyle almost weekly and it’s an adjustment for me. I want to ask if she could lay off the hair extensions. What’s a safe way to do this?

The guy I’m dating goes through these phases where he is completely unavailable. I learned he suffers from depression and I connected him with my therapist. It doesn’t seem to be helping.  I care about him but don't know what to do next. Do I wait for him to come out of his depressive state or do I move on? How can I have a meaningful relationship with him and be supportive?

This episode's questions:

My son’s father is expecting a new child with his current wife. He thinks that the two of us should get along. He insisted that I plan the baby shower since she doesn’t have any sisters or a local family member. He and I have a solid co-parenting relationship but I don’t think it's cool to be in her face since they just got married. What should I do?

One of the women at my church is having a housewarming and invited me. She later mentioned that she bought the house with her boyfriend and they aren’t getting married. Our church preaches against this like I am sure most churches do. The new news means that I am not going. How do I tell her?

My supervisor is very mean to me. We do not get along at all. I got a new job and plan to quit without a 2-week notice… but as a Christian, I feel convicted. What's the best way to end a bad work situation without losing your witness?

My wife is a packrat and I’m a more simple guy. Our house is more of a reflection of who she is and not me or we. I want her to get some therapy or something because it's getting out of hand and impacting our Marriage.

What's God's intention for our bodies? What would happen if we honored our bodies the way that God intended for us to? How can the church play a role in reshaping body image? I am thinking out loud about

My cousin and her husband refuse to be vaccinated but travel all over the place. She was supposed to be a bridesmaid at my wedding but I’m having second thoughts. How do I tell her that she can’t be at my wedding unless she is vaccinated? 

I borrowed money from my brother’s ex-girlfriend in 2019. At the time, she said I didn’t need to pay her back. After she and my brother broke up, she started telling people I owed her money. I want to pay her the money, even though I don’t owe her. My brother won’t let me. I really just want her to keep my name out of her mouth. What should I do? 

I saw someone from the church at a local nightspot with a woman I didn’t recognize. It could have been his sister or cousin as far I know. It concerns me because I’m in circles with his wife and feel like I should at least say something to him or his wife. Would it be messy to call his minister?

My daughter told my wife that as a free woman, she doesn’t feel it’s necessary for her boyfriend to discuss with me his interest in marrying my only daughter. My wife agreed with her. How should I approach the young man she wants to marry?

Have you ever looked at job opportunities and wondered if you would be ideal for the job but quickly talked yourself out Of it?

If you wear clothes, you e probably learned like I have that fit doesn’t always have a direct connection with what’s on the label. Fit is ultimately about how it feels when you try it on. One of the most brilliant ideas to ever impact the marketplace is the dressing room. In the fitting room, you give an article of clothing a crash run. You don’t make the determination about the fit until after you try the item on.

The key to determining fit is TRYING IT ON. Trying it on is applying and letting the process reveal the fit. This episode is all about the work it takes to know if something is a fit. Jeremiah 1:4-8 is our biblical example.

1. Don’t give an answer right away. Give yourself the time to consider your capacity and interest.

2. Fight the urge to do things for the sake of feeling needed. People will take advantage of you.

3. Anticipate that you may feel bad saying no. Feeling bad shouldn’t equate to changing your mind.

4. You don’t always need a reason to say no. Sometimes, the reason is “this doesn’t contribute to my wellness.”

5. Be careful not to say no and make it your responsibility to find someone to replace you. Let your no free you.

In I Kings 10, The Queen of Sheba is fascinated by the rumor of Solomon's wisdom. So, she pays him a visit. Through her visit, she learns that his wisdom is not only manifested through what he says when answering her difficult questions but the way that it manifests through the people and the things around him. How does this inform how we think about mentorship? That's what I ramble on about.

Are you looking for success or notoriety? Are you wrestling with ways to become more ambitious in your life, profession, and ministry? In this episode, I discuss the dangers of being opportunistic and encourage listeners to trust God for their success.

Show notes: https://dominiquebeaumonte.com/2021/05/13/develop-a-personal-brand-standard-on-social-media/

Have you ever began a conversation with someone where they make a comment about something you posted on social media.

This happens to me all the time and it used to make me really uncomfortable because 1) I was not as intentional about my posts and 2) I didn’t want to be viewed through the lens of one is Isolated experience or joke.

Today, I’m going to talk about the importance of developing a personal brand identity that drives the way you project yourself in social media spaces.

I got a few tips, experiences, and tricks that will help you!

Did you know that you can protect your peace?

Have you ever been in the store and seen Little toddlers throwing the biggest fit while the parent carried on as though nothing was happening?

If you’re like me, you’ve probably muttered to yourself, “I know that lady sees that little boy destroying the entire rack of pasta noodles!”

This thing has literally always puzzled me!

Ok. Fast forward to yesterday! I tell my 3 friends in our group chat that someone responded to an email I sent (reply all) intending to get a reaction out of me. I give a little context and then one of my faithful friends texts the following sentence:

“In behavior therapy, we have a tactic called “planned ignoring. Not to be confused with planned ignorance.”

Being the young scholar that I am, the term piqued my interest and I spent the next 20 minutes sitting in my car watching YouTube videos about this tactic.

The procedure of planned ignoring involves deliberate parental inattention to the occurrence of target child behaviors. In other words, parents identify behaviors that function as a means of getting their attention and selectively ignore them.

Okay, then what is extinction?

Planned ignoring is one the simplest types of extinction procedures. The term extinction refers to discontinuing rewarding a behavior that has previously been rewarded. Extinction is an intervention strategy that has been widely shown to be effective in reducing rates of inappropriate behaviors in children.

SO NATURALLY, I WANT TO ENGAGE THIS PRACTICE WITH ADULTS.

Some people move through the world manifesting their insecurities. They will attach certain insecurities to your being if they feel threatened.

So their behavior towards you is not always a reflection of what you have done or said, but who you are.

Therefore, that recenters how we should respond.

Planned ignoring is supposed to end the practice of rewarding bad behavior. Critics argue if it is the best strategy. What I unequivocally agree with that

At the end of the day, planned ignoring is less about the person and their behavior but more about how you respond to behavior when you have the power to reinforce better behavior through your own discipline.

Here are the three takeaways for me from the Bible.

James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

Proverbs 3:5-7

King James Version

5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

I had a therapy session with myself about some disappointment I have been experiencing as it pertains to other people. I am letting you in on my processing!

God laid it on my heart to do a series entitled “Back to Church” where I have candid conversations with church leaders, Christian influencers and subject matter experts about ways we can return to the building, without forsaking the creativity and foresight it required to survive a continuing global pandemic.

I thought would be right to begin this series with my friend, Gregory James. Gregory is the media ministry director for the progressive church in Sacramento, CA, and the owner of James Media. James Media has provided production, post-production, audio and projection services for churches, non-profits, and global companies like YouTube and much more!

I’m also going to give 5 tips for partnering with a media ministry expert at the end!

I want to thank Brother Greg for joining me and I hope you will share this episode if it has been helpful.

I’d also love it if you subscribed to my podcast and wrote a review! That helps me spread the word about the podcast, and more importantly, Jesus Christ!

Have a great day! Remember:

Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

On Sunday, March 28, 2021, I was honored to speak at the Little Flock Church in Redwood City, CA. My sermon focuses on the life of Joseph and how God always made lemonade out of lemons in his life. My prayer is that those who listen will know that God's plan isn't paused because of bad seasons in our lives. God's will is ALWAYS IN PLAY. He gives us victory through a disaster!

Are you the reason Lil Nas X gave Satan a Lap Dance after dropping it like it was hot, straight into hell! Are we deflecting as a church rather than answering the real questions? How? Why?

How do we deal with the culture of shame that was set up for us through Adam and Eve's behavior in the Garden. This episode explores how! This episode was inspired by a quote from relationship guru, Derrick Jaxn's wife from a recent interview.

This episode is a recording of a session from the Progressive COGIC Youth Leaders and Parents Conference.

The Session was entitled, "Mental Health & Healing for us First: 

Healing is essential to ministry. Our work as parents and leaders requires us to do our own work to be whole and in pursuit of wholeness, through Christ. What work is essential for parents and youth leaders? How can we thoughtfully recharge?

David believed in his transferable skills.

Davide had a plan and protected it.

David didn't lose sight of his Goal.

Davis was available. 

We don't say enough about the courage it takes to start a business! In this episode, I wanted to make space to honor the work and sacrifice of Black leaders, business owners, and entrepreneurs. I pray that this blesses those who listen and that they share with others.

This is a message I had the privilege to preach at my church in Sacramento, CA on Sunday, January 31, 2021. The audio was recorded by the Progressive COGIC Media Ministry.

The message centers on the experiences of King Josiah, who at the young age of 8, became King of Judah. Although he was not positively influenced by his predecessors, he did what was right in the sight of the Lord. I share some of the nuggets God gave me through my studying.

What is ambition? I had to think deeply about whether I am ambitious. This episode is the result of me talking to myself and listeing.
