WELCOME TO THE LAST EPISODE OF THE SEASON!! What a moment, what a journey and what a GREAT GOD WE SERVE! Today, we end off with a banger, talking about Aura. If we are going to be advancing the Kingdom of God in this world with boldness, our Aura has to be next level. Luckily, that burden doesn’t lie on us because we gain our aura through the Holy Spirit. It is through Him, that we are empowered to do things we possibly could never achieve in our own strength. We uncover who the Holy Spirit is, His role in helping us advance the Kingdom of God and how we can tap into Him and the power He gives us to ultimately to achieve the purposes of God in our lives and this world! We have a little nugget in the episode that we hope you enjoy hehe. Thank you for the support and encouragement, we wouldn't be this far without it! Finally, stay blessed INK (i.e. In the Kingdom) Family and until next season!!Chapters:(00:00) Welcome Back and Season Finale Announcement(02:24) Reflecting on Season Highlights(07:00) TikTok’s Definition of Aura(10:09) How You Can Lose Aura (Samson and Saul)(18:44) How You Can Gain Aura (Peter, Gideon and Jephthah)(26:24) Who is the Holy Spirit?

"Well done is better than well said" - These are some wise words from Uncle Benjamin Franklin and it sets the scene for our episode today which is all about taking ACTION!! We dive into Ecclesiastes and what God tells us about not letting fear cripple us, controlling what we can change and accepting what we can't, investing our resources in preparation of facing the uncertainties of life and not getting toooo attached to what the vision God has given us (i.e. borderline idolatry). Today will be our first solo episode. Unfortunately Khanyisa couldn't make it, but either way, we understand that we are journeying with you guys and we want to be consistent in our content!
