The Fight to Dwell
Pick Up the Phone Podcast
Episode 6 – The Fight to Dwell In Episode 6, The Fight to Dwell, we’re confronting a reality we can’t ignore: dwelling in God’s presence doesn’t happen by accident. It takes intentionality. In a world full of noise, busyness, and constant pull, remaining in His presence is a daily fight. Distractions are not random. Scripture reminds us that the enemy prowls like a roaring lion, seeking to devour, and often his greatest weapon isn’t destruction, it’s distraction. If he can keep us busy, overwhelmed, or unfocused, he can keep us from abiding. Dwelling requires awareness and...

Dwell Here - From Legalism to Living
Pick Up the Phone Podcast
Episode 5 – Dwell Here: From Legalism to Living In Episode 5, Dwell Here, we’re diving into a truth many of us struggle with: faith isn’t meant to be a checklist. Too often, we focus on doing for God, checking boxes, earning favor, and measuring up, when God’s heart is for us to dwell with Him. Legalism weighs us down with guilt and shame. Grace lifts us up and invites us to live in His presence every day. Dwelling is not passive; it is intentional. It is choosing relationship over ritual. It is living in alignment with God’s presence, even when life is messy and imperfect. It...

Submitted to Go
Pick Up the Phone Podcast
Episode 4- Submitted to Go In Episode 4, Submitted to God, we’re diving into a truth many people confuse: surrender and submission are not the same. Surrender is letting go, but submission is leaning in, choosing alignment, choosing obedience, choosing God’s will even when it costs you your comfort. Surrender releases control. Submission releases you. Submission is not passive; it is intentional. It is an agreement. It is placing your “yes” in God’s hands with no backup plan, no escape route, no secret safety net. It’s not “God, I trust You… but just in case.” It’s “God,...

You are In Surrender
Pick Up the Phone Podcast
In Episode 3, You Are in Surrender, we’re leaning into a truth many of us resist: surrender isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom. It’s learning to trust God’s timing, even when that means stepping out of the spotlight, taking a step back, or taking a needed break. Surrender is staying in the room even when the attention shifts. It’s knowing that hidden seasons are holy seasons, and rest is not retreat, it’s alignment. You don’t lose anything in surrender; you gain clarity, strength, and peace. Stay positioned, stay obedient, stay surrendered. I love you always, With Joy, Diamond...

BUILT TO BREAK
Pick Up the Phone Podcast
Welcome back to Season 2 of the Pick Up The Phone Podcast! In Episode 2, we’re leaning into a truth many of us avoid: sometimes God allows us to be broken, not to destroy us, but to release what He placed inside of us. Just like a glow stick shines brightest after it’s cracked, we often shine the most when we embrace our weakness and let God’s strength take over. This episode is about understanding that being “built to break” isn’t a flaw… it’s part of your design. Your limitations don’t disqualify you; they make space for God’s power to be made perfect in...

Prayer Isn’t That Deep... But It Changes Everything
Pick Up the Phone Podcast
Episode 14: Prayer Isn’t That Deep... But It Changes Everything Prayer isn’t complicated—but it’s far from meaningless. In this episode, we’re breaking down the idea that talking to God has to be deep, dramatic, or perfect to be powerful. It’s not about fancy words; it’s about real connection. Sometimes we overthink it, waiting for the “right” moment or the “right” words—but what if prayer is simply starting a conversation and being honest with your Father? Because when we stop performing and start connecting, prayer becomes a lifeline, not a task. If you’ve ever...

Free to Forgive
Pick Up the Phone Podcast
Episode 13: Free to Forgive In this episode, we’re talking about something that many people wrestle -forgiveness. Not the kind that expects an apology or reconciliation. We're talking about forgiveness that’s not about the other person at all. It’s about you. Your freedom. Your healing. Your assignment. Unforgiveness is a weight we carry that delays destiny. And if we’re honest, sometimes we hold on because we feel justified in our pain. But the truth is— It’s a decision that has nothing to do with feelings and everything to do with obedience. The Bible calls us to...

Clear The Ground
Pick Up the Phone Podcast
Episode 12: Clear the Ground In this episode, we’re getting to the root of the matter—literally. We're talking about those hidden weeds in our hearts and minds that slowly grow and choke out what God is trying to produce in our lives. It’s not enough to just cut the surface—we have to dig deep and deal with what’s underneath. Sometimes it’s unforgiveness. Sometimes it’s fear, pride, comparison, or wounds we haven’t even fully acknowledged. But whatever it is, it’s got to go. Because if we want to walk boldly in everything God has called us to—if we want to wear the full...
