About this listen

Welcome to Equip the Next—the podcast where hungry believers learn to study the Bible with clarity, see Christ in every passage, and grow into confident disciples.


If you’ve ever wanted to go deeper in God’s Word but felt overwhelmed—or sensed a call to disciple others but didn’t feel equipped—you’re in the right place.


Our focus is simple: Grow in God’s Word. Lead boldly. Live with purpose.


Each episode blends practical Bible study tools, Christ-centered interpretation, and clear discipleship guidance—rooted in clarity, context, and spiritual depth that makes Scripture feel accessible and transformative. Whether we’re walking through a passage or tackling a spiritual growth topic, you’ll find steady encouragement and biblical clarity to help you stay anchored and confident in your faith.



Meet Your Host:

I’m Latoya Morris — a story-driven, Christ-centered Bible teacher helping believers understand Scripture with clarity, confidence, and real spiritual depth.


For over a decade, I’ve coached leaders, guided women in faith and purpose, and taught the Bible in a way that makes it come alive—through narrative clarity, context, and Christ-centered insight. With a B.A. in Marketing Communications, 12+ years of coaching experience, and seminary training, I bring together practical wisdom and solid biblical understanding in a way that feels steady, clear, and grounded.


I created Equip the Next because believers deserve clarity, not confusion. My mission is simple: help you understand the Word, see Christ in every passage, and grow into a confident disciple who can lead with truth and purpose.

    Stop Outsourcing Your Faith | Ep. 118
    Feb 4 2026

    What happens when we stop outsourcing our faith and start thinking with God’s Word for ourselves? In this episode, we honor pastors and teachers as gifts while drawing a clear line: leaders guide us, but Scripture must be personally engaged. Learn why reading differs from studying, how context protects understanding, and how simple tools build confidence without overwhelm. If you’re ready to move beyond passive listening into active, biblical clarity, this conversation offers a steady path forward.

  • How to Discern and Use Your Spiritual Gifts | Ep. 117

    How to Discern and Use Your Spiritual Gifts | Ep. 117
    Jan 28 2026

    Ever feel like spiritual gifts are wrapped in mystery, hype, or gatekeeping? In this episode, we clear the fog and return to Scripture. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12 and Romans 12, we explore what gifts are for, who receives them, and how to discern yours without comparison or pressure. You’ll learn how gifts serve the common good, how humility and character shape calling, and how to take one faithful step to put your gifts to work—at church, at home, and in everyday life.

    Looking for language around your gifts? This free, short Spiritual Gifts Assessment can help you notice patterns and prompt prayerful reflection.

  • Mentoring with Confidence (with Sharan Trotter) | Ep. 116

    Mentoring with Confidence (with Sharan Trotter) | Ep. 116
    Jan 21 2026

    Confidence isn’t a personality trait—it’s a posture rooted in God. In this episode, Pastor and mental health counselor Sharon Trotter shares how “Gonfidence” transforms mentoring from fragile to fearless. We explore heart-level healing, simple spiritual rhythms, and practical ways to mentor with integrity and love. From family-first discipleship to small, consistent touchpoints, this conversation offers a grounded path for anyone who feels unqualified but willing to lead with faith, clarity, and courage.
