  • If You Keep Sitting With The Wrong People, You’ll Lose Your Blessing | Psalm 1 Explained (Word #40)
    Jan 8 2026

    Psalm 1 isn’t just poetry, sis. It’s God’s blueprint for a blessed life—and a warning about who you might need to distance yourself from.

    In this message, Patricia Calixte (aka Patty Pat) breaks down Psalm 1 (NIV) line by line and brings it into modern life—friendships, family, group chats, work circles, relationships… the environments that shape your thinking.

    Because sometimes you’re not “stuck” because you lack effort.You’re stuck because you keep sitting in the wrong seat.

    We’re talking about:

    * Bad company that drains you, guilt-trips you, manipulates you, and keeps you stuck

    * Why staying connected to the wrong people can cost you more than you realize

    * How to stop people-pleasing your way into compromise

    * How to set godly boundaries without being hateful or acting superior

    * How to become planted, peaceful, fruitful, and unshakable—even in dry seasons!

    If you’ve been asking:

    * “What does Psalm 1 mean?”

    * “What does the Bible say about bad company?”

    * “How do I deal with mockers and toxic influence?”

    * “How do I stop people-pleasing and protect my peace?”

    This message is for you, my sister!

    This Psalm will either plant you… or expose what’s been draining you.

  • Don’t let self-doubt steal your blessing: Eve’s big mistake (Genesis 3) (Word #39)
    Jan 1 2026

    Adam and Eve didn’t lose everything in one bite—
    they lost it the moment the enemy turned God’s clear Word into a debate.

    Fed up of starting over? This Bible-based encouragement for exhausted women exposes the real reason your “fresh start” keeps slipping through your fingers—and how to finally walk into lasting change with God.

    Patricia Calixte (aka Patty Pat) takes you back to Genesis to show how one quiet question can plant self-doubt, trigger second-guessing, and send you on a detour you never planned.

  • Why Your Growth Triggers Them—and How to Stop Getting Pulled Back (Word #38)
    Dec 25 2025

    What do you do when you’re finally growing… and the people closest to you start acting weird?

    You start healing, setting boundaries, saying “no” with peace… and suddenly you’re “different.”

    You stop overfunctioning and now you’re “difficult.”And the wild part? Sometimes the pushback starts before you even change—the moment you think about changing.

    In this message for women of faith, Patricia Calixte (aka Patty Pat) breaks down why people resist your growth—and how to stop people-pleasing “to keep the peace” when that peace is really just you shrinking.

    We’re naming what’s happening (homeostatic resistance), and we’re going straight into Scripture with one of the clearest examples of transformation backlash.

    Sis, don’t let anybody dim your light—just because your growth makes them uncomfortable.
