Putting the Kingdom First: How Courage Can Transform the Music Business
On this episode of Da Fixx, we have an engaging conversation about the impact of real hip hop, the significance of faith, and the importance of courage in our lives. Our special guest Terrian joins us for an honest conversation about navigating the music business as a believer and the importance of community.
Our Faith and Upbringing
Singer, songwriter Terrian starts off the segment talking about her faith and upbringing. She expressed her gratitude for being raised in a community that loved the Lord and constantly reminded her of His goodness. We discussed how faith shapes our lives and why we are passionate about sharing our beliefs.
The Importance of Courage in Relationships
We also discussed the importance of courage in relationships. We emphasized the need to not just go along with societal norms but to have the courage to say no and not rush into a relationship. We advised against starting a relationship during football season and encouraged waiting until after Valentine’s Day to see if a relationship is genuine.
The Music Business
Terrian shared her thoughts on the business side of things. She emphasized the importance of keeping the mindset of putting the kingdom first. She believes that businesses and the industry would be better off in the long run if they prioritize functioning within God’s kingdom.
The Power of Self-Discipline and Courage
We also discussed the importance of instilling self-discipline and courage in children. We share personal stories of our childhood, being diciplined and how it positively impacted our lives.
Borrowing Courage from Others
We also discussed the importance of borrowing courage from others when facing challenges in our faith. We referenced a scripture from the Bible where David tells Solomon to be strong and courageous in his work, and we emphasized the need to lean on the faith of others during weak seasons.
The Importance of Being Bold in One’s Faith
We emphasized the need to stand up for what is right and not be afraid of backlash or separation. We encouraged listeners to fully commit to their Christian faith and not half-heartedly engage in it.
Facing One’s Own Demons
We discussed the importance of being courageous in facing one’s own demons and overcoming personal struggles. We emphasized the need for hard work and determination to stop engaging in sinful behavior and to wait for the right partner in life.
In conclusion, we believe that Jesus Christ is the answer to all our struggles and challenges. We urge everyone to make the most of the day and remember that “The fix is in. We out. Peace, y’all.”
