When life feels like a red light on a hill, faith is the foot that moves. In this episode of SHIFT we unpack how to fight in transition, not with fists, with faith. I share a real family story from our transplant journey, what it looked like to go to neutral, pour it all out to God, then stand and step again. Learn why faith is not a feeling but a function, how resilience becomes worship, and how obedience invites the strength you have been praying for.

Affirmations to anchor your week: Feel the fear, move your feet. Neutral, then next. Motion over emotion. Pray, then press. I will fix it when you move, says the Lord.

Scripture anchor: Micah 7 verse 8, Rejoice not over me, O my enemy, when I fall, I shall rise, when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me.

You will learn:

• What to do when shifts shake your ground, and how to stand again

• A simple neutral routine, praise, Scripture, silence, one obedient step

• Practical faith in career, health, relationships, and spiritual life

• How to move first and let feelings follow

Influencing in the Shift, Leadership Starts with You

Influence is not a title, it is presence. In this episode we explore how everyday faith shapes the people around us, in kitchens, waiting rooms, meetings, and late nights. I share our family’s caregiving journey, partial blindness, transplants, a rare autoimmune disorder, high functioning autism, and how accountability, resilience, surrender, and praise in hard moments become a living sermon. Neutral with God is our reset, peace rises, clarity returns, courage follows.

Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”

You will learn

• Why your life preaches most in the dark, and how to lead yourself with integrity and calm

• How to practice Neutral, praise, Scripture, silence, one obedient step

• What real accountability looks like, repair, honesty, growth

• Simple ways to shift culture at work, at home, and in community

Episode 3: Hearing the Shift (Tuning to God’s Frequency)

In this episode of the SHIFT Podcast, Tyila unpacks the second letter in the SHIFT journey, H, Hearing. Life is full of noise—anxiety, depression, career changes, family pressures, and even our own inner narratives—all competing for attention. But learning to hear God’s voice isn’t about waiting for clarity to drop into the chaos, it’s about aligning first so His whisper can rise above the noise.

Through relatable stories, practical tools, and real-life connections, this episode explores what it means to tune into God’s frequency, reset into neutral, and train your inner ear to recognize His distinct voice. You’ll discover how to quiet distractions, create space for stillness, and walk away with a “Neutral Routine” to help you reset daily and hear with greater clarity.

Whether you’re navigating personal battles or everyday shifts like leading your family, adjusting to a new job, or learning how to care for yourself, this conversation will remind you that you don’t have to carry it all alone. Clarity comes when you pause, reset, and align with the One who leads you forward.

Reflection Question:

What noise in your life needs to be silenced so you can hear His voice, and what “neutral” practice will you commit to this week?
