Ep 57: Set an Example: Leading with God’s Presence in Today’s World feat. Syeeda Echols | #DCBG

Sometimes the thing standing in the way of what God wants to do… IS YOU, SIS!In this episode, Geri and Tiffany sit down for an honest, no-shame conversation about accountability, delayed obedience, fear, and the quiet ways we get in our own way. They talk about what it looks like to stop blaming timing, circumstances, or other people—and instead take responsibility with grace.This episode is a reminder that God hasn’t run out of time in 2025. There is still room for Him to move—but freedom often begins when we’re willing to be honest about the part we’ve played. Not to condemn ourselves, but to grow, heal, and move forward differently.If you’ve been feeling stuck, behind, or disappointed in yourself, this conversation will help you reframe the delay and step into freedom with clarity and hope 🤍📬 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR MAILING LISTStay connected with Dear Christian Black Girl and be the first to know about new episodes, events, and encouragement.👉 dearchristianblackgirl.com🎙 BE A GUESTHave a story or testimony you’d love to share with the DCBG community?👉 dearchristianblackgirl.com/contact🤍 CONNECT WITH USFollow us on social media and join the conversation:👉 @dearchristianblackgirl
