Losing somebody you love doesn’t come with instructions...
There’s no right way to stand.
No right way to breathe.
No right way to say goodbye.

This piece… this story… this moment —
it came from a place I didn’t ask to visit.
A place where grief sits down beside you
and God has to come sit even closer.

If you’ve ever lost someone…
if you’re carrying a weight you don’t talk about…
if their birthday, or the holidays, or just quiet moments hit a little harder…
then something in here is going to find you.

This isn’t me being strong.
This is me remembering.
This is me learning how to let go without losing the love.
This is me discovering that when Heaven takes someone home,
God doesn’t leave you behind —
He leans in.

I don't know who this episode is for,

but if it's for you, I hope it finds you...

And when it finds you…
I pray it brings the same kind of peace that found me,
in a moment I never expected.

I Am Israel — A Spoken Covenant

This isn’t a sermon. It’s a declaration.

A confession whispered into the quiet between who I was and who I’ve become.

“I Am Israel” was recorded in one take — raw, unfiltered, and alive with the sound of revelation.

It’s the moment conviction meets identity… and faith takes its breath again.

This episode invites you to slow down and meet yourself again — not through the world’s reflection, but through the eyes of God. It’s a moment of stillness where the mirror stops reflecting and starts revealing.

Through raw reflection and spiritual truth, Deryl shares what happens when we strip away what the world has layered on us — and see the image that God designed from the very beginning.

Listen. Reflect. Be reminded of who you really are.

This wasn’t meant to be a podcast. No script. No setup. Just me—raw, real, and reaching for God in the middle of the moment.

I hit record because I had to get it out… and I’m sharing it now because somebody out there might need to hear what unfiltered faith sounds like. This is what it means to talk to God when you don’t have all the answers but you still believe.

I didn’t clean it up or dress it up. No polish—just purpose.

Because sometimes, still standing IS the testimony.

It's never too late to begin. You don't have to let the sins of your past dictate the rest of your life through eternity. Jesus; as I call him, others call him his Hebrew name, Yeshua or Yehoshua, the Greeks knew him as Iesous, died so you can have a RIGHT NOW! ALL YOUR SINS CAN BE WASHED AWAY, and then...

It's ok to be different. Imagine hearing the instrumental to your favorite rock song, rap song, or country song; and then over the music, singing from your soul how much you love the Lord... How many people would decide your fate from your music choice? I'm saying...God created you different, so it's ok to be...Different!

Growing up, we sang a song “everybody ought to know who Jesus is” Here is my first sermon in a line that I hope becomes many.

Heaven is a place we hear about, read about, dream about. But is life about when you get there? or the journey of getting there?

I took a break from podcasting, because sometimes grief can be overbearing, but my journey towards heaven just became more necessary if I am to see my mother and father again. Are you on your journey?
