God's Correction isn't Rejection

Today we’re talking about a word that most people try to avoid — chastisement.

But what if your current trial is actually proof that God loves you?

In this chapter, we’re diving into Hebrews 12:5–11 to talk about what it means to be corrected by the Father. Chastising isn’t punishment—it’s refinement, and it’s a mark of sonship.

We’re also looking at the life of King David, who went through deep consequences after his sin with Bathsheba. But even in the loss and the pain, God’s mercy and forgiveness still found him.

If you’re in a tough season, this word is for you. The pain has a purpose. The trial is training. And the Father is near.

Let this encourage you to lean in—not run—from the process of growth and restoration.

In Chapter 105 of Ced Said, we’re talking about the war within our minds — those 60,000 daily thoughts, most of which lean negative. But what does God say? The Word tells us to take every thought captive and make it obey Christ.

But how?

In this chapter, we break down what it means to shine in the dark and how to confront the hidden thoughts that are shaping your mindset, mood, and direction. The darkness doesn’t hide from God — so why should we?

This isn't the kind of prayer whispered in a quiet room—this is the kind of prayer that comes when life hits so hard you can’t even find the words. In this chapter, we reflect on the story of Hannah, a woman so broken, so desperate, she could only move her lips—no sound, no speech—just silent pain poured out before God.

Sometimes life leaves us in that same place, praying silently through tears, through sighs, through silence. But even then, God hears. He sees. And He knows exactly what you're going through.

In this chapter of Ced Said, we ask a critical question: Is God just a part of your life—or is He the source of it all?

We take a deeper look at the story of David and Goliath—not just from David’s angle, but from the perspective of the Israelites. They had seen God show up before. They had witnessed victory after victory. But when Goliath stepped onto the battlefield, they froze. They let fear replace faith. They stopped seeing God as their source and started seeing Goliath as their limit.

David, however, remembered. He didn’t rely on armor, position, or approval—he relied on God. The same God who equipped him in isolation, in obscurity, and in waiting.

We close this chapter with a sobering truth: your job, your spouse, your talent—even yourself—can’t be your source. If any of those are removed, your joy, peace, or sense of identity shouldn’t crumble. Only when God is the source of everything can we stand firm no matter what life takes away.

In this chapter of Ced Said, we slow things down to talk about something we’re all guilty of—rushing. We rush our thoughts, our decisions, and sometimes, even God. We tell Him, “Hurry up, time is passing,” like He’s late on His promise. But when we rush, we’re not really letting go—and we’re definitely not letting God be God.

Rushing leads to problems. It leads to frustration, missteps, and sometimes even heartbreak. But God is calling us to be still—to trust the process and to let Him make and mold us into who He created us to be.

This isn’t about delay. It’s about development. Don’t rush the season that’s meant to shape you.

In this special 100th Chapter of Ced Said, we reflect on the journey—where it all began, how far Daddy God has brought us, and where He’s taking us. From humble beginnings to the launch of PBN – the Podevangelist Broadcasting Network, this chapter celebrates how being denied by the Pando app led to divine redirection. Now, podcasts, Bible studies, and behind-the-scenes content live together under one Spirit-led mission.

We also talk about identity leading to purpose, knowing who we are as children of the Most High Daddy God sets the foundation for everything we do. For me, it’s identity. Then purpose. Then Podevangelist. I am a child of the Most High God first. God is my Dad first, and out of that relationship, Daddy God makes and molds me into who He has called me to be. Our identity is rooted in being sons and daughters of the Most High—and our purpose flows from that truth.

This chapter also speaks life into the restoration of men in the home, in America, and in the Church. We glorify God for what He’s done, what He’s doing, and what He will do through this movement.

Every day we’re faced with two choices—God’s way or our way. When we choose our own way, especially out of impatience or frustration, we’re unfaithful to the One who promised to provide.Sometimes we don’t even realize we’re cheating on God—it shows up in the shortcuts we take, the blessings we force, and the decisions made outside of trust. The root of it? Time. Waiting can feel like a burden, but it’s actually a test of faithfulness.Are you trusting God’s timing—or creating your own blessing apart from Him? Time will always reveal whether we waited… or wandered.
