0:41 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA.

0:58 Speaker 2: Hey, God, vishalsa to joy to be with all of

1:00 Speaker 2: you today. Thank you so much for dropping by. I

1:02 Speaker 2: just want to decline that God has great things and

1:04 Speaker 2: stuff for you as well. Today we have a special

1:07 Speaker 2: guest with us and it's None at the ten Stella

1:09 Speaker 2: Ramola and Acrindus with us. She's a Christian lifestyle blogger,

1:13 Speaker 2: a singer, a songwriter and songs have been a blessing

1:17 Speaker 2: to so many multitudes across the globe, both in English

1:20 Speaker 2: as well as in Tamble. And she is part of

1:23 Speaker 2: the Jesus called International Ministries as well as U Turn Ministries,

1:28 Speaker 2: which is a part of the same founded by her

1:31 Speaker 2: brand dad as well. So thank you so much, Sellah

1:34 Speaker 2: for being with us today.

1:36 Speaker 3: It's a joy for me to join you. Thank you

1:38 Speaker 3: for having me.

1:41 Speaker 4: That's awesome. Thank you so much.

1:43 Speaker 2: So I just quickly gave a brief introduction about you,

1:46 Speaker 2: and there's so much more that you can talk about yourself.

1:50 Speaker 2: I always say, you know, the best introduction a person

1:52 Speaker 2: can give is self introduction.

1:54 Speaker 4: So you know certain things that you can.

1:56 Speaker 2: Share, so quickly tell us something about you that made surprises.

2:03 Speaker 5: So, as you said, those are very big titles, But personally,

2:10 Speaker 5: I feel like I'm just a regular teenager that goes

2:13 Speaker 5: through I mean, like an regular young adult that goes

2:16 Speaker 5: through everyday problems. And for me, I've learned how to

2:21 Speaker 5: sort them out through my faith and through the leading

2:25 Speaker 5: of God as being my friend.

2:28 Speaker 3: And so that's how I've been growing up.

2:31 Speaker 5: Even though I have this very strong name behind me,

2:36 Speaker 5: very big ministry that I've been a part of, but

2:41 Speaker 5: even in my personal life, in my everyday life, I

2:43 Speaker 5: feel like God has been leading me and that's the

2:48 Speaker 5: greatest title that I can give myself.

2:50 Speaker 3: I feel like a child of God, the daughter of God,

2:53 Speaker 3: the daughter of the King of Kings.

2:55 Speaker 5: That's my favorite title, and that's the story I love

2:59 Speaker 5: sharing through my music, through my blogs, through my blogs,

3:03 Speaker 5: just my experience with Jesus in my everyday life.

3:08 Speaker 4: That's awesome. That's awesome.

3:09 Speaker 2: Tell us something that will surprise us about you, something

3:13 Speaker 2: that we don't know.

3:17 Speaker 5: So since I am a very like public personality, people

3:22 Speaker 5: expect me to be very extroverted, outgoing, very open person,

3:29 Speaker 5: but I'm actually a very shy, interverted person. I only

3:34 Speaker 5: have a few friend close friends, and I don't like

3:38 Speaker 5: startup conversations with like strangers immediately. So I'm that kind

3:44 Speaker 5: of a person. But then whenever something like excites me

3:49 Speaker 5: when it comes to my passion, when it comes to

3:52 Speaker 5: the things that I love, I'm very open and like

3:55 Speaker 5: I love sharing about it. And I'm very comfortable with

4:00 Speaker 5: like more of like one on one conversations and like

4:04 Speaker 5: talking to people considering.

4:06 Speaker 3: Them as my friend.

4:07 Speaker 5: And that's kind of something that people may not know

4:11 Speaker 5: about me. When people approach me, they say, oh, you're

4:14 Speaker 5: so shy. You seem very bubbly on television, but you're

4:18 Speaker 5: very quiet.

4:19 Speaker 3: You're very shy. So yeah, that's the actual real Stella.

4:23 Speaker 2: Yeah, I could totally resonate with what you just said

4:26 Speaker 2: about being an introvert. I'm also an introvert and I'm

4:28 Speaker 2: also a speaker, So I'm just the opposite. And with

4:32 Speaker 2: regard to the fact, like you said that you're more

4:35 Speaker 2: comfortable one on wine, but you find it hard on

4:38 Speaker 2: public states.

4:38 Speaker 4: But I'm just the opposite.

4:40 Speaker 2: I can speak to like thousands of people also with

4:42 Speaker 2: no hassle, but when it comes to one on one,

4:45 Speaker 2: you know, I like freak out many times. And you know,

4:48 Speaker 2: like sometimes people actually misunderstand. They're like, Wow, this guy's

4:50 Speaker 2: preaching here, he's doing this, blah blah blah blah. Why

4:53 Speaker 2: it's yeah, that's how God created each one of us differently.

4:57 Speaker 2: So so coming to this important aspect, like as you said,

5:04 Speaker 2: you know, like you carry a big name behind you,

5:07 Speaker 2: Like here's the thing. Now, my gift mainly is to

5:10 Speaker 2: encourage people. That's my main gift. I inspired, that's my

5:13 Speaker 2: main gift, and I was greatly influenced by pass Joelo Stein.

5:17 Speaker 2: So a lot of people used to tell me when

5:18 Speaker 2: I started my ministry that when they listen to me,

5:21 Speaker 2: they feel like they're listening to pass the Joelo Steine.

5:24 Speaker 2: You know, like eventually, as time progressed, I started, you know,

5:28 Speaker 2: like understanding who I really am and started walking in

5:31 Speaker 2: my divine purpose and stuff like that. But on a

5:34 Speaker 2: similar note, when it comes to you, you come from

5:36 Speaker 2: a lineage of ministers right right from your granddad. You

5:40 Speaker 2: have a big name behind you that sets you apart

5:44 Speaker 2: in terms of the expectations that are laid upon you.

5:47 Speaker 2: You also have a big part of Jesus called international ministries.

5:50 Speaker 2: There are standards that are set upon you. So when

5:53 Speaker 2: you look at the fact that you have to meet

5:55 Speaker 2: those expectations and live up to those standards, at the

5:59 Speaker 2: same time, you as an individual have a specific purpose

6:02 Speaker 2: and identity and a calling. So how do you balance

6:05 Speaker 2: between meeting those requirements, meeting those standards at the same

6:10 Speaker 2: time not compromising on your true identity. Why I'm asking

6:13 Speaker 2: this question is a lot of people are under the

6:15 Speaker 2: cover of maybe a church, a ministry, or some family expectations,

6:20 Speaker 2: but at the same time they need to know how

6:22 Speaker 2: to balance between that and their divine purpose.

6:28 Speaker 3: Yeah.

6:28 Speaker 5: I can really resonate with that because even from a

6:32 Speaker 5: young age, right at the point of like maybe being born,

6:38 Speaker 5: people would have put a label on me or have

6:42 Speaker 5: an expectation on me, saying, oh, she is going she's

6:46 Speaker 5: born in this family, a family of minister, she's also

6:48 Speaker 5: going to grow up to be a minister. But even

6:52 Speaker 5: from a young age, I was never really interested in

6:55 Speaker 5: preaching because I mean I didn't have any experience in it.

7:00 Speaker 5: I didn't have like a passion for it and things

7:03 Speaker 5: like that. So even when like people will come up

7:06 Speaker 5: to me and say, oh, you're going to follow your grandfather. Uh, first,

7:11 Speaker 5: your dad did it. Now it's going to be you.

7:13 Speaker 5: You know, when people say that, it's like I know

7:17 Speaker 5: in my heart, oh no, that's not the calling that

7:19 Speaker 5: God has given me. So, as I said, in my

7:24 Speaker 5: personal life, He has been a really great friend leading

7:27 Speaker 5: me through each and every step of my life. Whether

7:30 Speaker 5: it be in my schooling, whether it be in my friendships,

7:34 Speaker 5: whether it be my relationships with my family. God has

7:39 Speaker 5: been teaching me and really molding me into the person

7:42 Speaker 5: that He intended me to be.

7:44 Speaker 3: So in the process of.

7:46 Speaker 5: That, he had given me a passion for music. And

7:49 Speaker 5: even through that, as I gave my life to Christ,

7:52 Speaker 5: he made a commitment to do music to glorify his

7:56 Speaker 5: name to share the gospel through that avenue. So it's

8:00 Speaker 5: not just preaching that is considered ministry, you know, just

8:04 Speaker 5: sharing the gospel and unique ways is considered ministry.

8:07 Speaker 3: And I am very blessed.

8:09 Speaker 5: To have that platform to be able to share the

8:13 Speaker 5: gospel through these different ways, through music, through blogs, through

8:17 Speaker 5: blogs and things like that. So that's how God had

8:21 Speaker 5: set me, uh, given me that identity. Uh she's a

8:25 Speaker 5: singer as she uh and all those things that I do.

8:28 Speaker 5: So just sharing my personal experiences gave me that uh

8:34 Speaker 5: I identity. And obviously all our experiences are different. So

8:41 Speaker 5: even even in our own family, we all are different,

8:46 Speaker 5: even my brother, my sister, and I, my grandfather, my

8:50 Speaker 5: my grandmother, my mom, even people will would used to

8:54 Speaker 5: tell my mom or she even had that desire to

8:58 Speaker 5: be so bold like my grand father, to be so

9:01 Speaker 5: strong and powerful and pray.

9:04 Speaker 3: With a bold spirit.

9:06 Speaker 5: But her voice used to be very low, and she's

9:09 Speaker 5: a very shy person as well, and like it would

9:12 Speaker 5: be so timid when she would speak, but then when

9:15 Speaker 5: she would pray, just that voice, that same voice would

9:19 Speaker 5: bring tears in the eyes of people, would make the

9:22 Speaker 5: demon streak in the meetings. So You should never aspire

9:26 Speaker 5: to be someone else. You should aspire to be what

9:29 Speaker 5: God created you to be. You have individuality, that's how

9:35 Speaker 5: you've been brought up through the experiences that mold you,

9:38 Speaker 5: and you should never give that up and say, no,

9:41 Speaker 5: I want to be like this person. I want to

9:42 Speaker 5: be like that person because they're already taken. So you

9:46 Speaker 5: should be yourself, the one that God had created.

9:49 Speaker 4: You to be. That's absolutely true.

9:52 Speaker 2: I recently released my second book called that Relia Purpose,

9:56 Speaker 2: where I want actually your dad is the one who

9:59 Speaker 2: gave the forward to it, and that book is something

10:03 Speaker 2: where I talk about this important aspect because I realized, like,

10:06 Speaker 2: only when you walk in your purpose, you actually fulfill

10:09 Speaker 2: your you know, you're able to live to the ice potential,

10:13 Speaker 2: You're able to make the impact for God's kingdom, not

10:15 Speaker 2: being a copy of somebody else. And I always say this,

10:19 Speaker 2: you know, what really makes the difference is what is

10:21 Speaker 2: different about you.

10:22 Speaker 4: You know, if we try.

10:23 Speaker 2: To put everybody in a mold and say, okay, your

10:26 Speaker 2: dad was like this, your granddad was like this, or

10:28 Speaker 2: you be like that, so that kind of puts you

10:30 Speaker 2: in a pressure and a mold that you're not really

10:33 Speaker 2: called to be right. So even as a preacher, like

10:36 Speaker 2: for example, like you said, a lot of people put

10:39 Speaker 2: a pressure on me saying, you know, you have to

10:40 Speaker 2: be a preacher like this, you have to do like this.

10:43 Speaker 2: And but my gift is like as I said, encouraging

10:46 Speaker 2: and storytelling. So one of the gifts I do have

10:49 Speaker 2: is like I bring out messages from the random things

10:52 Speaker 2: that you could ever imagine, like lessons from Scooby Doo,

10:55 Speaker 2: lessons from Hannah Montana or snake Eyeland. So the Christian

11:00 Speaker 2: world kind of puts me in a bad spot. They're like, oh,

11:02 Speaker 2: this is not a traditional approach, is not the way

11:04 Speaker 2: it's supposed to be. So they kind of put you

11:06 Speaker 2: in a mold and expect you to, you know, work

11:09 Speaker 2: out things in a certain direction, a certain way. But

11:12 Speaker 2: as I realized, you know, because of the way I

11:16 Speaker 2: present the content, because of the way I am you know,

11:20 Speaker 2: reaching out the way I'm gifted. You know, a lot

11:22 Speaker 2: of people tell me all the time, you know, I

11:25 Speaker 2: don't like anything to do with God, but I watch

11:27 Speaker 2: your Scooby Doo videos and then I bring the gospel

11:29 Speaker 2: to them. You know, so many people I've heard who

11:32 Speaker 2: say this, you know who don't want anything to do

11:34 Speaker 2: with God, but stay followed. So if you really want

11:37 Speaker 2: to make a difference and impact in this world, you

11:39 Speaker 2: have to embrace what is different about you and act

11:43 Speaker 2: upon it. And that's where you really see the difference.

11:45 Speaker 2: So you'll pointed out in a really beautiful way. So

11:49 Speaker 2: now coming down to the aspect that you are writing

11:52 Speaker 2: blogs and you know, bringing out songs and so many

11:56 Speaker 2: other things, even on social media. So where do you

12:00 Speaker 2: get the inspiration and how do you do that?

12:04 Speaker 5: So, as I mentioned before, everything that I share is

12:07 Speaker 5: from my personal experience or experience from a friend or

12:11 Speaker 5: someone who shared their story with me. So I try

12:16 Speaker 5: to relate it to an everyday person, an every day

12:19 Speaker 5: young adult or going through the same issues. So as

12:24 Speaker 5: a young person, you were always searching for am I

12:27 Speaker 5: alone in this or can I searching for someone who

12:32 Speaker 5: has deal dealt with it or is dealing with it?

12:34 Speaker 5: Can someone lend me a helping hand? So I try

12:39 Speaker 5: to be as open as asbile and share whatever I

12:42 Speaker 5: can to encourage others, to inspire others and.

12:47 Speaker 3: Show them that there is a hope in this world.

12:50 Speaker 5: You are loved in this world by the God.

12:54 Speaker 3: That created you. So that's the main goal.

12:59 Speaker 5: Uh And yeah, being open and relatable is the way

13:04 Speaker 5: to reach them.

13:05 Speaker 3: And some people love listening to music. So I share that.

13:11 Speaker 5: My perspective, my life, my stories, through music and through blogs,

13:15 Speaker 5: I share something a small thought that God had put

13:18 Speaker 5: in my mind, either by like looking at the trees

13:21 Speaker 5: or looking at like the things in my everyday life.

13:25 Speaker 5: God reminds me of how much He loves me, or

13:27 Speaker 5: he reminds me of a story of the time that

13:30 Speaker 5: He cad for me. So I share that through my blogs,

13:34 Speaker 5: and through my blogs, I display how my relationship is

13:38 Speaker 5: with God.

13:39 Speaker 3: And then every in my everyday life.

13:41 Speaker 5: How I spend my day and how I prepare each

13:46 Speaker 5: thing that I do, and how that makes me who

13:49 Speaker 5: I am, show my individuality, my personality.

13:52 Speaker 3: So I can be more relatable with the people follow

13:56 Speaker 3: That's awesome.

13:57 Speaker 2: Yes, it's so important to be relatable, right, Like a

13:59 Speaker 2: lot of people can come and quote one hundred and

14:01 Speaker 2: twenty seven battle verses, but by the end of it

14:04 Speaker 2: you're like, oh, my goodness, what did you get from it?

14:06 Speaker 2: And it's nothing. But when you are able to relate,

14:09 Speaker 2: That's what Jesus did, right, Like he didn't speak about

14:11 Speaker 2: some Brandon thing on the street he spoke about. Okay,

14:14 Speaker 2: find you guys are farmers. Let me give an example

14:17 Speaker 2: from farming. So it's so important that you and I

14:20 Speaker 2: are relatable. So coming down to the next part of

14:23 Speaker 2: the same question. You know, being a content creator, as

14:27 Speaker 2: a child of God, as a minister, Yes, there is

14:29 Speaker 2: a set of standards expected of you, and like in

14:33 Speaker 2: your case because of your name, because of you know,

14:36 Speaker 2: the ministry name. In my case, right now, out of

14:39 Speaker 2: the blue, I noticed this, like the minutes a podcast

14:41 Speaker 2: that is raising up the charts. You know, there is

14:44 Speaker 2: a standard that's expected of you. But in that regard,

14:47 Speaker 2: you know you have to stick to the standard and

14:50 Speaker 2: at the same time you have to be consistent. So

14:52 Speaker 2: how do you balance between you know, creating content that

14:56 Speaker 2: is consistent and up to the standard at the same time,

14:59 Speaker 2: it's not out of your flesh that you are forced

15:02 Speaker 2: to do because you have to do it, but you

15:05 Speaker 2: are doing out of the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

15:10 Speaker 5: Yeah, sometimes when you're in work mode, you want to

15:14 Speaker 5: meet the deadlines. You want to keep posting every week

15:18 Speaker 5: and you don't want to miss out, but you also

15:22 Speaker 5: want to give quality content. You don't just want to

15:25 Speaker 5: give like something to fill in those days.

15:28 Speaker 3: Yes, even I mean like a lot of.

15:31 Speaker 5: Times I burn out, and I if I don't think

15:35 Speaker 5: the idea is perfect, I don't go through it.

15:38 Speaker 3: I'm a very like perfect perfectionist kind of a person.

15:42 Speaker 5: So my friends, yet, let me, why aren't you posting

15:46 Speaker 5: regularly your logs and even in the comments people say

15:50 Speaker 5: when you subscribe.

15:51 Speaker 3: To any new blogs. But yes, life does get in

15:55 Speaker 3: the way.

15:55 Speaker 5: But then you should be intentional about everything that you post.

16:00 Speaker 5: At the end of the day, people aren't going to

16:02 Speaker 5: see if you've posted every single week. They're going to

16:05 Speaker 5: see the content that you put out. So everything that

16:08 Speaker 5: you release, uh, even it's even if it's in your job,

16:14 Speaker 5: every project that you do, even if it's in your

16:16 Speaker 5: school work, everything that you do, it needs to be

16:20 Speaker 5: the best that you can give out. So putting in

16:24 Speaker 5: the time, putting in the effort, and also creating a

16:26 Speaker 5: plan beforehand so that you can give your best at

16:29 Speaker 5: the end of the day. It doesn't just reflect you,

16:32 Speaker 5: but it reflects who you're representing, which is God. So

16:37 Speaker 5: that's what I try to tell people. All the young

16:40 Speaker 5: people who watch they ask how should I do this.

16:46 Speaker 5: How are you able to organize your day? How can

16:49 Speaker 5: you get things done? How to not procrastinate? It's all

16:53 Speaker 5: in the intention of what what are you doing this

16:57 Speaker 5: for at the end of the day, what are you

17:00 Speaker 5: trying to accomplish? What are you're trying to say with

17:02 Speaker 5: the things that you create? So always have that in mind.

17:06 Speaker 5: It's everything that you do reflects on God. So give

17:11 Speaker 5: your best.

17:14 Speaker 4: Amen.

17:15 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's absolutely true. Like the scripture says, right, whatever

17:17 Speaker 2: you do it, do it until the glory of God.

17:20 Speaker 2: So that's absolutely true. So you need to plan and

17:24 Speaker 2: you know orchestrate accordingly. And coming down to the next

17:28 Speaker 2: thing I wanted to ask you is in regard to

17:31 Speaker 2: your songs, And a lot of your songs have been

17:35 Speaker 2: such a great blessing and I listen to them on

17:38 Speaker 2: a beatnod, So why don't you tell us maybe the

17:42 Speaker 2: story of it will happen? How did it happen?

17:48 Speaker 3: I'm gonna.

17:51 Speaker 5: It will happen is actually one of the most listened

17:55 Speaker 5: songs on my album Journey.

17:58 Speaker 3: Like everyone I.

17:59 Speaker 5: Talked to like when I'm they say they like my songs,

18:01 Speaker 5: they say they love it will Happen the most. That

18:05 Speaker 5: song also is my personal favorite. I love the music

18:09 Speaker 5: oh that goes behind the song, but the main thing

18:14 Speaker 5: that attracts people is the line it will happen in

18:16 Speaker 5: its time. It's from the Bible verse and ECCLASSI SS three.

18:21 Speaker 5: It says everything happens a beautifully in it in its time.

18:29 Speaker 5: So that's the main verse that I.

18:34 Speaker 3: Based this song around.

18:36 Speaker 5: When I was writing that song, I was actually going

18:39 Speaker 5: through a very challenging time in my personal life and

18:43 Speaker 5: I had a lot of anxiety.

18:45 Speaker 3: I was troubled.

18:46 Speaker 5: I kept thinking about it, thinking about what will happen

18:50 Speaker 5: in my future, and it caused a lot of anxiety,

18:53 Speaker 5: a lot of panic in my life. But then as

18:57 Speaker 5: I was pondering on it constantly and like it would

19:02 Speaker 5: really mess up my mind a lot, I wouldn't be

19:05 Speaker 5: able to sleep peacefully. Whenever throughout the day, I would

19:09 Speaker 5: get like like panic attacks and my heart would be

19:14 Speaker 5: racing and I would be like sweating because of the anxiety.

19:20 Speaker 3: But then when I was going through.

19:22 Speaker 5: This, I just remembered that God is on my side

19:27 Speaker 5: and He will make everything all right, so everything will

19:32 Speaker 5: happen according to his plan.

19:35 Speaker 3: So that really comforted me, and God really reminded me.

19:40 Speaker 5: That you should just trust him and He'll give you

19:42 Speaker 5: what you need at the right time.

19:44 Speaker 3: So that's those are the lyrics that I just penned down.

19:48 Speaker 3: While writing this song. We were actually me and my team.

19:52 Speaker 5: We were actually writing a song, like one of the

19:56 Speaker 5: last songs for the album, but then I was never

19:59 Speaker 5: really satisfied with the tune about the direction that song

20:03 Speaker 5: was going in.

20:04 Speaker 3: But then.

20:06 Speaker 5: One of my team members said, just write a song,

20:09 Speaker 5: something catchy like it'll happen. So I took those lines

20:13 Speaker 5: and just built the whole verse and the chorus for it.

20:19 Speaker 3: It really took me, like only a few minutes of my.

20:25 Speaker 5: Time, so I just write down and sat down and

20:28 Speaker 5: wrote the whole storyline and how like God gives you

20:33 Speaker 5: what you need at the right time, so you don't

20:35 Speaker 5: need to be frustrated, you don't need to complain or

20:39 Speaker 5: think about it, be confused, just leave it in God's hands.

20:42 Speaker 5: He says, just wait and trust my ways. So that's

20:45 Speaker 5: what I wrote in that song, and it resonates with

20:49 Speaker 5: a lot of people going through different seasons in their lives,

20:53 Speaker 5: and I'm so glad that it's an encouragement even as

20:56 Speaker 5: they listen to it.

20:59 Speaker 4: That's awesome.

21:00 Speaker 2: A song that you thought wouldn't happen, it did happen,

21:04 Speaker 2: and it was the one that became your favorite.

21:06 Speaker 4: And that's the one that's been an impact for so

21:08 Speaker 4: many people.

21:09 Speaker 2: You know, that's how God can suddenly turn things around,

21:13 Speaker 2: suddenly make an impact. Like you know, you planned all

21:16 Speaker 2: the other songs and then you're wondering what to do

21:18 Speaker 2: and that's when God brought this out. So you know,

21:21 Speaker 2: like in this season, God has been telling me this.

21:24 Speaker 2: You know, this is the season of suddenly. You know,

21:26 Speaker 2: suddenly something is going to pop up and suddenly that's

21:29 Speaker 2: going to be the game changer. You know, that's the

21:31 Speaker 2: God we serve, and he's able to do that. So

21:34 Speaker 2: when you look at the impact, like you said, so

21:36 Speaker 2: many people are being blessed, you look at the fact

21:39 Speaker 2: that you're able to make an impact to millions of

21:41 Speaker 2: people across the globe. When you look at that, like,

21:46 Speaker 2: how do you as an individual stay humble? How do

21:49 Speaker 2: you stay around and to ensure that Okay, I don't

21:53 Speaker 2: hell a pride near my tenth So what do you

21:55 Speaker 2: take as a personal step for that?

21:59 Speaker 5: First of all, all I always recognize that every gift

22:04 Speaker 5: that I have, every achievement that I've done is through

22:08 Speaker 5: the help of God. God has given me all the

22:11 Speaker 5: ideas and also the people to present it to, and

22:16 Speaker 5: he's the one talking to them, and he uses me

22:19 Speaker 5: as the vessel, so I always honor that. And also

22:23 Speaker 5: I'm blessed to have friends who encourage me to give

22:28 Speaker 5: my best. So whenever I show them something, they critique

22:31 Speaker 5: it and say, you can do this, you can do

22:33 Speaker 5: that to improve it. And also they don't look at

22:39 Speaker 5: me as the daughter of a great preacher or a

22:43 Speaker 5: famous person, but they see me as Stella their friend.

22:47 Speaker 5: And I'm blessed to have those people that God had

22:51 Speaker 5: sent to me to show his love through them. So

22:55 Speaker 5: we all go through the same things and we talk

22:58 Speaker 5: about it and we increase each other. And that's how

23:03 Speaker 5: I'm able to like depend on them whenever something happens

23:09 Speaker 5: in my life, and they have that to pick me

23:10 Speaker 5: up and encourage me to keep saying even if they

23:13 Speaker 5: don't uh they are non believing friends, they say.

23:16 Speaker 3: Keep going, keep going, this is what you're meant to do.

23:19 Speaker 5: And God has given me friends like that to encourage

23:22 Speaker 5: me and pick me up during those times.

23:27 Speaker 4: That's amazing. That's amazing. I was.

23:29 Speaker 2: While I was talking about it, I was reminded of

23:31 Speaker 2: one of the keys. When people say about staying humbled.

23:35 Speaker 2: They always say, you know, remember where you come from.

23:38 Speaker 2: Remember where you come from, so you will be humbled.

23:41 Speaker 2: But I was reminded of.

23:42 Speaker 4: How in the book I think in me, if I'm

23:45 Speaker 4: not wrong.

23:45 Speaker 2: It says, you know, to stay humble, remember how God

23:49 Speaker 2: let you remember how God to here from. You know,

23:52 Speaker 2: rather than just remembering where you come from, the key

23:55 Speaker 2: is to remember God in that, and that is how

23:58 Speaker 2: you can actually stay around it. And then you know,

24:01 Speaker 2: just trying to, you know, use some external tool to

24:04 Speaker 2: try to be humble that it's not going to give

24:06 Speaker 2: you the result that you are looking for as well.

24:09 Speaker 2: So uh you, as you just said, as an individual,

24:13 Speaker 2: as a stella romola, Uh you, as an individual. You

24:18 Speaker 2: can be a minister of the gospel. You are from

24:20 Speaker 2: a lineage of ministers, but you yourself go through seasons

24:23 Speaker 2: when you may have a low moment with God. Right,

24:26 Speaker 2: So a lot of people today beat themselves up saying,

24:29 Speaker 2: oh no, I'm having a low moment with God. My

24:31 Speaker 2: visual walk is not good, and they beat themselves up

24:34 Speaker 2: and gave up and gain no it gets into such

24:38 Speaker 2: something even worse than where they went before. So as

24:41 Speaker 2: an individual, you would have encountered low moments with God.

24:45 Speaker 2: So if you do, how do you deal with it?

24:47 Speaker 2: And how can somebody else follow such a step to

24:51 Speaker 2: overcome such seasons in their life.

24:54 Speaker 5: So many times we go through those seasons when we

25:00 Speaker 5: overthink about what is happening around us.

25:04 Speaker 3: It's all in our heads.

25:06 Speaker 5: We keep like going through the process of Okay, what

25:10 Speaker 5: if this happens, what if that happens, this is how

25:13 Speaker 5: I am, or things that we are going through in

25:17 Speaker 5: our personal life. We keep thinking about it and we

25:20 Speaker 5: blame it on a lot of things. We blame ourselves

25:22 Speaker 5: for certain situations, and we forget of how much God

25:27 Speaker 5: has given us, how much God has done for us.

25:30 Speaker 5: And sometimes it's even hard to rely on God in

25:34 Speaker 5: those situations. We forget about him.

25:36 Speaker 3: What will he know?

25:38 Speaker 5: Like what will he do for me now? And things

25:41 Speaker 5: like that. We try to like push him away from us,

25:45 Speaker 5: But no matter what we do, we can never run

25:48 Speaker 5: away from God. His love is too big to just

25:53 Speaker 5: let us go, let us run away. So there are

25:56 Speaker 5: so many instances in the Bible that shows us how

26:00 Speaker 5: much God loves us, no matter how small and insignificant,

26:06 Speaker 5: insignificant we may be, or we may feel, God is

26:10 Speaker 5: so big and he loves us so much. So I

26:14 Speaker 5: always whenever I feel those whenever I go through those

26:18 Speaker 5: moments and feel low, I always try to at least

26:24 Speaker 5: be thankful for one thing that I have in my life,

26:27 Speaker 5: and I say thank God for giving me life, thank

26:31 Speaker 5: you for helping me breathe, thank you for this body

26:33 Speaker 5: that's working for me to keep me healthy and alive.

26:37 Speaker 5: So something as small as that, when we are thankful

26:40 Speaker 5: for that, we immediately get that boost. We immediately get

26:44 Speaker 5: a sense of I'm glad, I'm alive, I'm glad I'm

26:48 Speaker 5: and I'm glad.

26:49 Speaker 3: God is with me.

26:50 Speaker 5: And that verse that always cheers me up is that

26:53 Speaker 5: God never leaves us, not forsake us, no matter what

26:57 Speaker 5: we do, no matter what's happening to us, no matter

26:59 Speaker 5: what people will have done to us, He is always

27:02 Speaker 5: there for us. So whenever we feel away from God,

27:06 Speaker 5: he has never left us, so we should never forget that,

27:10 Speaker 5: and He's always waiting for us to run to him.

27:13 Speaker 3: And just those simple prayers, those raw prayers.

27:17 Speaker 5: Saying what we're going through, really reconnects us with God,

27:21 Speaker 5: and he will definitely cheer us up through his mysterious ways,

27:26 Speaker 5: either surprising us through a friend, surprising us through just

27:33 Speaker 5: something really random that we never even expected, and he'll

27:36 Speaker 5: show us how much he cares for us and bring

27:39 Speaker 5: us out of that situation and give us a clear mind.

27:43 Speaker 5: And yeah, just trusting in God and speaking to him

27:46 Speaker 5: really revitalizes us and connects us with him.

27:51 Speaker 4: Absolutely true.

27:53 Speaker 2: So in line with what you just said is finally,

27:55 Speaker 2: by the end of the day, you realize that God

27:58 Speaker 2: is not looking for a diplomatic relationship with you.

28:01 Speaker 4: He's looking for an intimate relationship with you.

28:03 Speaker 2: That's one of the things I always tell because a

28:06 Speaker 2: diplomatic relationship is something like maybe an employer and an

28:10 Speaker 2: employee is all about like, Okay, I don't care how

28:13 Speaker 2: you feel, I don't care what your emotions are. I

28:15 Speaker 2: just want you to get the job done. And then

28:17 Speaker 2: the other person says, I just want the job. So

28:20 Speaker 2: you know that is not the kind of a relationship

28:23 Speaker 2: God is looking for.

28:24 Speaker 4: He's looking for an intimate.

28:25 Speaker 2: Relationship, in which case there will be ups, there will

28:28 Speaker 2: be down. So that's actually a good sign that you're

28:31 Speaker 2: actually having a real relationship.

28:33 Speaker 4: They're being yourself with God. You're open with him. You're

28:36 Speaker 4: just if you.

28:37 Speaker 2: Feel like crying, you cry, you feel like groaning your

28:39 Speaker 2: grown you feel like just saying something. You know, that

28:42 Speaker 2: is the way God actually expects of us, rather than

28:45 Speaker 2: beating yourself saying, oh my goodness, why am I like this?

28:48 Speaker 2: Stupid me, this that, blah blah blah. You know, stop

28:50 Speaker 2: beating yourself and start trusting that God is, you know,

28:53 Speaker 2: still on the throne. He knows what he's doing and

28:56 Speaker 2: he knows how to community at the end of the day. Right,

28:59 Speaker 2: So you can have a negative feeling, but just be

29:03 Speaker 2: yourself before God. So that is the key to just

29:06 Speaker 2: step up your walk with God. And now when you

29:09 Speaker 2: look at the fact like today, young people in general

29:14 Speaker 2: are going through so much of identity crisis, low self esteem,

29:17 Speaker 2: and there's so much happening because they're not able to

29:21 Speaker 2: accept themselves for who God created them to be. There's

29:24 Speaker 2: so much a pressure that's laid out because of the

29:26 Speaker 2: filters on social media. There's all these advertisements which have

29:30 Speaker 2: pictured what is meant as you know, ideal or what

29:34 Speaker 2: is idealism or.

29:35 Speaker 4: Whatever they call it.

29:36 Speaker 2: And although in that regard like as an individual. Are

29:39 Speaker 2: these things in your life that you found difficult to

29:43 Speaker 2: accept yourself in or maybe a personality trade or a

29:47 Speaker 2: characteristic and you found it really hard to accept? And

29:51 Speaker 2: if you did, how did you deal with it? And

29:53 Speaker 2: how can those who listening and watching and also deal

29:56 Speaker 2: with it and accept themselves for who God created them

29:59 Speaker 2: to be.

30:01 Speaker 5: When I used to be younger, whenever I would feel

30:05 Speaker 5: like I am a very I feel like maybe I'm

30:10 Speaker 5: like too overbearing or like people think I'm like a burden,

30:15 Speaker 5: or the things that I say are like kind of

30:18 Speaker 5: annoying and things like that, I would think like, oh no,

30:20 Speaker 5: I have to like not be like too open and

30:25 Speaker 5: loud and like chatty or else.

30:27 Speaker 3: People won't like me, and things like that.

30:32 Speaker 5: You know, some people will say if you do this,

30:34 Speaker 5: then people won't like you. You know, when you're younger,

30:36 Speaker 5: people would say that. That used to really get to me.

30:40 Speaker 5: I would really think about that a lot and think, oh, no,

30:43 Speaker 5: I shouldn't speak that much, I shouldn't say this, I

30:47 Speaker 5: should behave in a certain way and things like that.

30:50 Speaker 5: Some things that are in my personality I would try

30:53 Speaker 5: to change about myself. But then as I grow older,

30:59 Speaker 5: I realized people are just so busy that they don't

31:02 Speaker 5: even recognize or like even like.

31:05 Speaker 3: Uh, like see that.

31:10 Speaker 5: Closely enough to even like pick that apart and be like, oh,

31:14 Speaker 5: she's annoying. You know this, the things that she does

31:17 Speaker 5: in this way is wrong. You know, people go through

31:21 Speaker 5: this when we when they have social anxiety. You know,

31:24 Speaker 5: I don't want people to hate me. That kind of

31:27 Speaker 5: a mindset. I used to have that, but then as they.

31:34 Speaker 4: Pardon no, you said, like please people please mindset. You

31:40 Speaker 4: want them to like you.

31:41 Speaker 5: Yeah, so I wouldn't do certain things because I thought

31:46 Speaker 5: they wouldn't like it. But then as I grew older,

31:49 Speaker 5: people have so much going on in their own lives

31:51 Speaker 5: that they don't even they might not even.

31:53 Speaker 3: Like notice it. So just be yourself, be bubbly.

31:57 Speaker 5: You know, there will be a certain group of people

31:59 Speaker 5: who will automatically attached with you because they like those

32:04 Speaker 5: personality traits, They like those characteristics, and the people who

32:08 Speaker 5: are that, who are for you, will come and connect

32:11 Speaker 5: with you. And that's how I've like been gelling with

32:16 Speaker 5: my group of friends, even though we're all different, but

32:19 Speaker 5: then we encourage each other and like it's.

32:24 Speaker 3: Never a judgmental zone.

32:27 Speaker 5: There's no judgment between each other putting each other down

32:30 Speaker 5: or saying like sarcastic comments to put each other down.

32:34 Speaker 5: But it's always like in good fun and light hearted

32:39 Speaker 5: fun and things like that. So you should never say, oh,

32:45 Speaker 5: I should be like this, people might think if if

32:48 Speaker 5: I'm like this, people might think something wrong.

32:50 Speaker 3: About me, and things like that.

32:52 Speaker 5: Just be yourself and always have a good intention of

32:55 Speaker 5: however you're presenting yourself and the things that you do

33:00 Speaker 5: behind the things that you say. So, yeah, everyone is unique,

33:07 Speaker 5: and yeah, you definitely have a place in this world.

33:10 Speaker 5: If you never feel like you are a misfit. It's

33:16 Speaker 5: good to stand out sometimes.

33:18 Speaker 2: Be unique, absolutely true. Just be who God has created

33:23 Speaker 2: you to be. Like every piece of a puzzle, it

33:25 Speaker 2: seems stupid till you understand without that, the puzzle won't

33:29 Speaker 2: make any sense. Right, So every one of us are

33:31 Speaker 2: in the puzzle of God. And when you were shatting

33:33 Speaker 2: about you know what other people think? I was reminded

33:36 Speaker 2: of this state where people say, you know, at twenty

33:38 Speaker 2: years the page, we wonder what will people think of us?

33:41 Speaker 2: At forty we wonder, like, Okay, I don't care what

33:45 Speaker 2: people think about us at sixty, we realize that nobody

33:47 Speaker 2: was even thinking about us. So in that regard, we realize, like, okay,

33:51 Speaker 2: there's no point in living for other people. By the

33:54 Speaker 2: end of the day, you have to give an account

33:55 Speaker 2: to God for your life, and that's based on how

33:58 Speaker 2: you are living to your true I didn't city and

34:00 Speaker 2: purpose that God has created you for Ussel That's absolutely true.

34:04 Speaker 2: And there's so much of talk these days about mental health,

34:07 Speaker 2: and thanks to the pandemic, all these things have been

34:10 Speaker 2: just on the rise, so many people into depression and

34:14 Speaker 2: suicidal thoughts and anxiety, panic and thanks trauma, fear. And

34:19 Speaker 2: I know a lot of people how contacted me, like,

34:23 Speaker 2: you know, especially when I made one of my videos

34:25 Speaker 2: on you know, overcoming the fear of bad things happening

34:28 Speaker 2: and accidents. I know so many people, even about the faiths,

34:31 Speaker 2: who watched those videos and came and asked me, and

34:34 Speaker 2: I was able to share the gospel with them. But

34:36 Speaker 2: the problem today is that the Christian world president is

34:41 Speaker 2: you know, silent about it, or for the most part,

34:44 Speaker 2: they are not talking about it because they're like, okay, fine,

34:47 Speaker 2: don't talk about it. Just trust God is you know,

34:50 Speaker 2: it's just you don't have faith and things like that.

34:52 Speaker 2: But you know, the silence cannot anyway account for the

34:56 Speaker 2: number of lives that are being lost every day. So

34:59 Speaker 2: what is your talk or what is lot take on

35:03 Speaker 2: mental health? And what would you say for those who

35:05 Speaker 2: are going through the issues with regard to mental health.

35:09 Speaker 5: I would definitely, uh like say, talk to professional, uh

35:17 Speaker 5: someone who has the right values that align with your values,

35:22 Speaker 5: who can help you overcome it, or just uh like

35:26 Speaker 5: be with you as you go through it, to hear

35:29 Speaker 5: you out and pray with you and just be there

35:34 Speaker 5: for you as a friend. So either a professional or

35:38 Speaker 5: a pastor or a Christian leader or a friend who

35:42 Speaker 5: can just listen to you, listen to what's going on

35:45 Speaker 5: in your head and just be that for you whenever

35:48 Speaker 5: you need them and help you through whatever you're going through.

35:51 Speaker 5: So I don't think that it's bad to see a

35:54 Speaker 5: therapist or a professional and that's what they studied for,

35:57 Speaker 5: you know, but just make sure that it aligns with

36:00 Speaker 5: your values and help get you the help.

36:03 Speaker 3: That you need.

36:05 Speaker 2: Absolutely true, that's true because a lot of lives are

36:10 Speaker 2: being affected because of these things. And is there something

36:15 Speaker 2: else you would like to share with us?

36:17 Speaker 5: Today as a young person, the main thing that helped

36:22 Speaker 5: me shape me into who I am and find my

36:26 Speaker 5: identity is being strong in my values. So no matter

36:30 Speaker 5: where I went, no matter what country I visited, no

36:34 Speaker 5: matter what kind of friends that I surrounded myself with,

36:37 Speaker 5: my values never changed. Obviously it was shaped during the

36:42 Speaker 5: teenage years of my life my young adult years, but

36:46 Speaker 5: then I was always strong in who I was living for,

36:51 Speaker 5: what I was doing, what I was what my purpose is.

36:55 Speaker 5: So once I found it and I shaped it, and

36:58 Speaker 5: I'm currently like still learning a lot of things. But

37:02 Speaker 5: it's very important as a young adult to be strong

37:04 Speaker 5: on your values.

37:05 Speaker 3: And the way that you find your values.

37:07 Speaker 5: As a person who believes in Jesus is you're It's

37:11 Speaker 5: rooted in the Bible, so it's very important to read

37:14 Speaker 5: it each day and study it and to understand it

37:20 Speaker 5: and be strong in it as you're growing as a Christian.

37:24 Speaker 3: So that's what I would recommend.

37:27 Speaker 5: Just read the Word of God, understand it, and talk

37:31 Speaker 5: to God and build that relationship with him. It's not

37:34 Speaker 5: just knowing Jesus, but it is walking with Him in

37:38 Speaker 5: your everyday life. And that's what I would encourage each

37:42 Speaker 5: young person. So whenever you're going through a dilemma of

37:45 Speaker 5: can I do this?

37:46 Speaker 3: Can I do that? Is it okay? Is it wrong?

37:50 Speaker 5: When you have those questions, go to the Bible and

37:52 Speaker 5: see where your values lie, where your beliefs lie, and

37:56 Speaker 5: everything's just listed out that You're guidebook for life is

38:01 Speaker 5: listed there, so and you'll know what your purpose is,

38:06 Speaker 5: where your worth lies, and who God has.

38:10 Speaker 3: Created you to be.

38:13 Speaker 4: That's absolutely true.

38:14 Speaker 2: Do you have any specific project that you are working

38:18 Speaker 2: on currently that you can give us a little speak too.

38:22 Speaker 5: I'm working on a Tummil album, so I just released

38:26 Speaker 5: my original English album, so the next is my original

38:29 Speaker 5: Thumbel album.

38:30 Speaker 3: I me and my team are working on it.

38:33 Speaker 5: I am trying to write the songs and the lyrics

38:36 Speaker 5: for it as well.

38:37 Speaker 3: So keep that in your prayers.

38:40 Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely.

38:41 Speaker 2: I want to just ask you this question, like, Okay,

38:43 Speaker 2: you're so good in English, but at the same time

38:46 Speaker 2: you're going to.

38:46 Speaker 4: Work on a Namel album.

38:47 Speaker 2: How do you manduver between two things.

38:52 Speaker 5: I grew up speaking Tummerl at home, but I'm not

38:55 Speaker 5: very fluent in.

38:56 Speaker 3: Like the big big words.

38:58 Speaker 5: So what I do is I just figure out the

39:02 Speaker 5: theme in English and like type out like the words

39:06 Speaker 5: that I want to use, like the English words, I

39:08 Speaker 5: type out, type them out, and then I just translated

39:11 Speaker 5: to Google and see which one sounds nice.

39:15 Speaker 4: And I use it in my song.

39:16 Speaker 3: That's a little tip for you songwriters.

39:21 Speaker 4: That's really good. That's good.

39:22 Speaker 2: I mean right now, there are people who are actually

39:25 Speaker 2: wanted to do like my podcast into other languages. And

39:28 Speaker 2: somebody actually wanted to try out and tamble. So I

39:32 Speaker 2: mean I couldn't figure out how it was with some

39:34 Speaker 2: machine it right, and uh, somebody said it was like

39:37 Speaker 2: mixing Tamil and English. So that's why I was excited

39:41 Speaker 2: how we're managing. So do you have any specific word

39:45 Speaker 2: for the ministry the podcast and uh, you know, what

39:48 Speaker 2: would you like to share?

39:51 Speaker 5: I would just encourage you to keep going, uh and

39:55 Speaker 5: uh listen to God as.

39:57 Speaker 3: To what he wants you to share.

39:59 Speaker 5: And and it's been wonderful listening to all of your messages,

40:04 Speaker 5: you're listening to your podcasts and your books and everything.

40:08 Speaker 5: It's just a great thing that you keep consistently putting

40:12 Speaker 5: out these things.

40:12 Speaker 3: In new ways. So I would just encreage you to

40:15 Speaker 3: keep going.

40:15 Speaker 5: And it's definitely in our prayers and it's we're very

40:19 Speaker 5: excited that Carnean has been doing this.

40:22 Speaker 3: Uh and yeah, just all the best.

40:27 Speaker 4: Thank you so much, thank you.

40:29 Speaker 2: So one final bonus question before we go into the

40:33 Speaker 2: final prayer of impartation.

40:35 Speaker 4: So I had to break this out.

40:37 Speaker 2: So, if you could be any cartoon character or movie

40:41 Speaker 2: character or anything that you just dreamed about, who would

40:46 Speaker 2: you be and.

40:47 Speaker 3: Why cartoon character? I feel.

40:53 Speaker 5: I used to watch pop uff Girls all the time,

40:56 Speaker 5: so I okay character Bubble. Okay, Blossom is like the

41:04 Speaker 5: very strong leader kind of a person, and but a

41:08 Speaker 5: Cup is a very like.

41:11 Speaker 3: She'll just beat up everybody that comes her way.

41:14 Speaker 5: But Bubble has the balance of both like cuteness and

41:18 Speaker 5: like bubbly character. But then if somebody hurts her family

41:22 Speaker 5: or somebody like doesn't like does something wrong, or like

41:27 Speaker 5: something that doesn't align with her, then she will get

41:32 Speaker 5: the job done, you know, like that about it.

41:36 Speaker 2: For me, my favorite has always been Scooby Doo. So

41:40 Speaker 2: I'm like nicknamed a Scooby pastor and been featured on

41:44 Speaker 2: some newspaper and other platforms for my collection, like I

41:48 Speaker 2: have like Scooby Doo pen Drive, so that I always

41:53 Speaker 2: like the first question, I would ask anybody is do

41:55 Speaker 2: you like Scooby Doo No, So, because that's one of

42:01 Speaker 2: the best ways other than my usual traditional approach, I'll

42:05 Speaker 2: use that to you know, enhance the Kingdom of Guard.

42:08 Speaker 4: So there's so many, like.

42:10 Speaker 2: Thousands of people on those platforms who are like literally

42:13 Speaker 2: close to the Gospel and they don't want to have

42:16 Speaker 2: anything to do with Guard. But you know, my heart

42:18 Speaker 2: is to read such people with and you can't just

42:21 Speaker 2: read saying oh, I'm a Scooby fan, I'll listen to

42:24 Speaker 2: my message that doesn't work yetly, so you know, put

42:27 Speaker 2: out content based on that or voice over or whatever,

42:30 Speaker 2: and then do it.

42:31 Speaker 4: You know, it makes a great impact by the end

42:34 Speaker 4: of it.
