The devonharris’s Podcast

I know this...sometimes when I wake up in the morning and I am healthy and I am scheduled to go to a facility, I get in my car, arrive at the gate and if I get through security to at least one young man or group, I know there is going to be a battle. It has become the norm over the years because of where we go. It is a place of spiritual darkness and often the young minds do not even realize they are in the midst of “the pit.” Not the prison walls some talk about, but the spiritual bondage which has led them, possibly to the crime for which they are doing time. Most of the time I go in with no agenda, trusting God to speak something to somebody to open a door so they can have an awareness of God in their life.

Are you in a rut season? Our bucks are in a rut, and they don't eat. They don't have one focus on their mind. What does a rut mean to you? Are you outside of God's will? And focus on one thing that'll satisfy you only. We're not animals. We're creating the image of God.

Rest Today I want to go to the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19. In verses 5-6 we read, Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.” Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again. Notice that in the midst of his crisis, Elijah rested and ate. He took care of his body. Some of the crises you ex...

Who Am I - Identity Crisis of Youth Today - Not Guilty - August 19 2024

Don’t ever let anyone hold your sins against you. Satan can’t declare you guilty, though he would love to. We must ignore him when he says that God could never forgive sinners like you and me. The bitter people in your life can’t declare you guilty because you’ve been forgiven. Trip Lee - The Good Life

Gang Myth  – More laws & legislation will decrease gang activity by longer, harsher prison sentences.

The United States incarcerates nearly 2 million people. But the problem of mass incarceration in this country is not just a function of the number of people in prison—or the much larger number of people who cycle in and out of jails every year. Our system also incarcerates people for far too long, doling out excessively long se...
